I've had so much fun with various 4 and 5 browsers that I've gone back to Netscape 3.something, but a persisting and increasing problem are these "Bookmarks have changed on disk..." messages, which often show up even when I haven't done anything (that I know of) to change my bookmarks. Anybody have any suggestions, hints, clues, et cetera?
60 minutes did a show years ago about people the CIA dosed with LSD without their knowledge or consent and then left them to wonder why their brains turned to silly putty for no discernable reason.
Respectful or not, it's redundant. The Marine Corps is the only branch of the armed services referred to as "jarheads". Whether, or under what circumstances, they should be is a separate discussion.
My proposal for a variation on the cascading system is for everyone to get to vote yes or no on every candidate. For example, you could have yes for George Bush (the older one, not Boy George) and yes for Ross Perot and no for Bill Clinton. Or you could have voted yes for Clinton and yes for Perot and no for Bush. That way nobody who wanted Perot would have had to waste their vote on Bush to keep Clinton out or on Clinton to keep Bush out. (I leave the obvious keeping Clinton out of the bush joke for the next poster) I realise that an example that lands Perot in the Whitehouse may not be the best way to sell the idea, but the present system allows the 2 main parties to blackmail the voter out of voting for 3rd party candidates. Remember, bi-partisan means the 2 big parties are acting in the interests of the 2 big parties. Not the same as non-partisan.
Zico's right. Microsoft being a monopoly interferes with all those other companies that want to be monopolies getting to be monopolies. So they'll oppose Microsoft being a monopoly even if they have to co-operate temporarily until Microsoft is sufficiently weakend to make it safe for them to go for each other's throats.
The 8086 (and the 8 bit in/out version, the 8088) could address 1 MB of RAM. It was IBM's design choices, not Intel's, that created the 640K barrier. Of course, Microsoft's crystal ball was too cloudy to let them see what a liability it would be in the long run, either.
"The N&O has been a HIGHLY conservative newspaper for a long time and I never read it." Yeah, that's just what Jesse Helms always says:-) They should have left me at "insightful" and given you the point for "funny".
Are you sure "jerrymandered" is the word you want? The actual spelling is more like "Gerrymandered" and refers to oddly shaping political districts to favor a particular party. The original was caricatured as resembling a salamander by a political cartoonist.
Clarke was heavily involved in the writing of the screenplay. I refer you to several of the comments from the "2001" thread about a week or so ago here on Slashdot.

Oh yeah, if the earth were compressed into a sphere 2cm in diameter rather than a sphere 0.7 inches in diameter, I'd feel *so* much better about it.
Please tell me you don't think OS/2 is a version of Linux or Unix.
Well, it's certainly good to know that you won't be one of any new hires they make.

I thought the other one was Intel.
The more I look at "Intelectual", the more confused I become over how it should have been spelled.

Actually it's co-ordinated effort between the Slashdot administrators and the Taelon Synod.

Just like the Red Chinese, they don't care who's in the White House as long as it's someone who owes them big-time.
They've already defined it. If you try to get on their playing field, they'll level you.
I thought the way you could tell if they connected via AOL by *whether* they posted something stupid.
Nah, he just wants to get a female Slashdot going and IPO.
As a result of which I'm pretty much trapped into having to leave mine unchanged.

Come on baby, do the slow commotion.
According to what I heard the consensus around here is that you'd *have* to steal one to have one.
"...but if these calculus girls were so smart, why couldn't they make the site themselves?"
Maybe they're all busy doing calculus.

Who was the humorless twirp that moderated this brilliant satire down as a troll just because of the humorless twirps who responded as though it were?
BOTF :-)
