If I remember correctly, Piquepaille responded to earlier popular slashdot criticism (correctly, in my view) by placing links to his summaries down low in his submissions.
I don't bother to visit his site because it doesn't usually have anything unique to offer aside from "this is a cool thing" links.
Not sure how to translate GPF into nuke useage and I'll bet that the guys aboard are all hooo-hah! about helping people that are in distress. They get paid anyway and if the carrier fleet's budget gets cut next year I'll understand.
If an asteroid hits or comes near we might as well put our heads between our legs and kiss our collective asses goodbye. Maybe you remember this phrase from the global thermonuclear war threat of the 60's, 70's and 80's.
First satellites, now this. Someone should let this guy know that he's taking jobs away from paid government and private sector researchers and idea guys.
I, for one, am glad that Tokyo chose to cooperate with Russia on the next satellite launch
The Russians have a history of technological development so that things get to be "good enough". On the other hand is the MiG 29.
It ain't often been pretty (their history and engineering), but it tends to get the job done. In an emergency, you want reliable, tank-like, brute force, not blinky things that go PING!
Thanks for remaining sane. My kid was 6 when he started playing Doom on my 486. I think he knows the difference between fantasy and reality.
I've responded a few times to this subject because I think it's important.
My son plays GTA (myself, I don't see the attraction at age 42 - I prefer strategy-based gaming), but he likes it and is well-balanced as an individual.
Mind you, some grafitti really are works of impressive art.
I knew something was up when my 13 year-old son asked for an Xbox, Tony Hawk games and a case of spray paint for Christmas.
He plays GTA too, but I didn't notice any spontaneous, evil teenager-type impulses yesterday to drag people out of cars and steal their hos. He *did* buy an ICP CD, though, maybe I should worry.
The financial compensation of famous people (whose only real abilities/talents are looking good onscreen or being able to manipulate toys better than everyone else) is getting WAY out of hand. But it's a free market, so some people are willing to pay for that. Well, except for Montreal, who decided that the Expos weren't worth the expense. And maybe the NHL, which is having their own hero-worship payment problems.
Possibly this was calculated in metric, so NASA could be underestimating the potential effects. Or overestimating it. All *I* realy know these days is that scare-mongering moves at 16 quintillion micromilimiles per second at sea level atmospheric pressure.
But this thread is about someone who redistributed content without rights and impersonated the creator in the process.
Sometimes I wish someone would rip-off my site, that way I could get some mainstream press...hold that thought for a second. Slashdotted plus lawyers' expenses. Nevermind.
Slashdot has more users than that, based on UsedID numbers
No one likely knows for sure, but I'd bet that up to 50% are dupes or abandoned accounts and Taco himself probably owns dozens - that's why all the good usernames are already taken. He's hoarding them for eBay sale in case he gets fired.
As an ex-violinist, I encourage mispellings and misuse of the words "cello", viola" and that other big, clumsy bass thing. It helps to up our recognition, image and prima dora-ness in the orchestra.
I provided free webspace and web "design" to a bunch of students that were rebuilding one. Haven't heard from them in over a year and a half, so I don't know whatever became of the project. It might be worth a look for Steamer enthusiasts though.
As a Canadian, I am appalled, disappointed and throwing up by this biased and US-centric study that failed to consider our spamming abilities. Shame on them for failing to include us.
That's correct, but if the role of reporters is to provide information, methods of weeding-out crap has to be implemented.
Many "news services" are just PR machines and the concept of journalist has devolved into hiring degreed people trained in the art of writing and pop culture.
Anyone studying me in detail would see that I tend to actively preserve my unawareness of types of products that I don't use until I decide to use them, then do my own research and usually end up with one that's *not* heavily promoted. I wish some people would dig *that* out of their data mines.
The advertising and marketing industries are mostly innocent scams. Aside from click-thru results to companies' websites (which don't necessarily result in sales and fraud is very easy) there is no way to track performance.
Dweeb. The way THAT works is they report you as a deadbeat, your score goes to 300, and NO ONE will give you credit. Hope you aren't buying a house or car soon . ..
Given that life on this planet is only temporary in the first place, the concept of "credit" (as it refers to economic prowess and compensatory dick size comparisons) is mostly irrelevant and superficial.
It's always cool to have the latest expensive toys and live in peer-approved neighbourhoods and drive the trendy cars, but if those are your primary motivations you are defective as a human being.
Slashdot Mirror
I say we pillory him just because neither his first nor last name is properly pronounced by Americans.

Nice try.
Just a thought - how long will it take for the spammers and scammers to take advantage of this disaster?
Didn't Screensavers pre-redesign do a bit on this?
Alex was a loose cannon, slamming advertisers. Note that the new version has no studio audience and no woo-hoo guys.
It's just the latest scare, get used to it.

If you look up 'sardonic' in the dictionary, Dyer's picture is likely there.
He's big on gloom and doom but has done interesting documentaries in the past.

We're moving a f'en carrier group into the region for support and search and rescue, you think that's cheap?
Does that *really* cost anything extra?
Here's a relevant link.

Significantly , hydraulic pressure for one.
Hydrostatic testing of equipment can cause bad things to happen:

There's money to be made in gaming chips, sure, but not all that much compared to corporate desktops and laptops.
That seems to be Matrox's theory also (younger people here might be asking who the hell is Matrox?). I wonder if it's working for them.

Even the WTC terrorists could have been stopped by following their credit card activities.
Do you really beleive that's true? I don't.
This might be an interesting read.

Just my humble opinion.
