Yeah, but, any way you slice it, you're still using the X Window System. Now... Microsoft Explorer for Linux (and I don't mean IE) would be an interesting feat.
The floaters in this article do, in fact, block the content. They float over it, hence the name. Sites like IMDb have been using them of late. (Point being, you say "I don't mind them" and then you indicate you do mind them.)
I'm fine with inline ads that the text moves around - I've never ordered anything from any online ad, but I've clicked on a few inline ones to see what they were about. But the floaters - especially the ones with the teensy or non-existant close button - are really really annoying.
To make the table salt attack even more fun, you could expose it to the radioactive material beforehand, and hope it picks up a bit of contamination.:)
See, just a little forethought can make things twice as effective!
"That process takes the resources of a government."
Ya know, I think you might be a bit off there. There are dozens of corporations, both in NA and abroad, that would have the resources to accomplish this if they so desired.
I think they meant to imply that those unneeded admins could be reassigned to development roles or somesuch. So they wouldn't be let go, they'd continue to be with the company. Therefore, it's not a cost savings, it's a performance increase.
Actually, I take that back, you probably have heard of them. At least to a point where "Obviously" becomes a rude tool of condescension. My apologies.
I was just trying to say that, while you can freely complain about Bush in public all you want, you can't do it within a few miles of his entourage or you'll be 'escorted' to a 'Free Speech Zone'. Personally, I think it's a constitutional violation for those zones to exist, but I'm not USian, so I can't really press the issue:)

yeah, "Sideways" had a ton of explosive action ... and so did "Ray". And "Million Dollar Baby".
...
And "Collateral". Oh, dangit! That one proves your point. Grr

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those.
Like, seriously - a herd of hurds. I'm so funny.
*sob, sob* :'(

I'm still running a Voodoo Banshee 16MB AGP1x, you insensitive clod!
Two words: Nibblonian Feces.
Whaddya mean SLIGHT delay? When was the last time there was content on Slashdot? :)
In this case, I think the definition of factoid has become a definitionoid.
If anything, we should congratulate them. They've found a way to cut down on a few bytes of junk data flying around the net.
:)
Cumulatively, it could be a big waste reduction.
You don't think I know what a you-googly is?

Ooh, I bet their systems are FreakyNaughty(tm).

He should install DeepFreeze, too.
They could have used DeepFreeze.
I want to try Zip.ca. It sounds promising :) I like the fact that they have 3, 6, and greater DVD packages.
Yeah, those crazy Americans and their language compression algorithms. You know, the ones sponsored by the University of Alabama. :)
... "realize" vs. "realise" ... zzzzzzz. Zed me, baby. :)
I still tend to use the "z" instead of the "s", though
At Blockbuster, $20 in late fees can mean only one thing.

You're not trying hard enough.
Same goes for EVIL SPOCK.
It's just a simple point and click interface.
Oh, the piece of scrap paper that flutters to the floor and then finds its way into the garbage? That's the one you mean? ;-)

Obviously you've never heard of "Free Speech Zones".
Nor this.
