One of the links on the page when I visited was a link to an online IQ test.
If you are logged on as yourself, they already have a fair bit of info about you.
They can then link this with your IQ and target all the stupid people with adverts for SUVs.
and the whoever stated above regarding the 8mm tapes as the same "form factor" as Hi 8/ D8 is a complete nerd.
"complete nerd" is not an offensive term on SlashDot, I suggest substituting "complete jock".
They can take it as a compliment, while we laugh at their good looks, physical presence and puny brains.

And for those of you that think the fact that Gates is a business man now, and that MSN should disqualify him, I have only this to say:
Should we now start removing people from places like the baseball hall of fame after they retire?
Should we start ADDING people to the baseball hall of fame that play tennis?
Perhaps you could buy yourself a valid argument with some logic.
We all know the motivation behind robotss that bave skin/body parts that feel more realistic. OTOH, most geeks probably don't have a realistic benchmark to compare to.
Human stupidity is such that they always seem to believe the most rosy-colored fantasies; "the cheque is in the mail", "big is beatiful" and "I won't cum in your mouth" to name but a few.
"unlimited bandwidth" is just a modern variation.
The difference being that cumming in a woman's mouth is usually not considered fraud, unless they made you sign a pre-blowjob contract.
Also, what you call "Human stupidity", I consider one of the nicer aspects of human nature: Expecting the best of others.
The awkward thing is that one one of her friends, while helping her move in, took a swig from the 7-Up bottle in the fridge. Turns out that bottle of 7-Up was part of the dead former owner's last meal.
What is awkward about that?
It's not like the guy is going to come looking for his left-over 7-Up.
In the end of it, this is what Free Trade is about: people. This article makes that clear.
From first-hand eye witness reports, its mainly about corporations from rich 1st world countries extracting cheap labour and resources from poor 3rd world countries.
The vast majority of game developers do it for money.
Quite frankly, this is bullshit.

...would someone explain me why one wants a laptop with a highest performance 3D accelerated card that makes sense only in newest games - where you miss half or more the experience without a 5+1 sound system all around you, a decent quality, at least 17" monitor, a good heavyweight manipulator or at least a normal keyboard plus mouse... definitely not a laptop hardware...
My "Notebook" is basically a very portable desktop PC, it has:
- 2.6 GHz P4 desktop processor
- 512 MB RAM
- 17 inch wide screen display
- Digital sound output
- full sized keyboard
- a normal PS2 mouse attached
It may weigh in at nearly 4Kg, but it is still a helluva lot easier to carry around than my real desktop PC. I use it for gaming.
I wouldn't want to have to lug it around all the time though.

Like this guy?
What is this, SlashDot or Sesame Street? "One of these things is not like the others..."

Bad analogy, sort of, eh. If you speak a native language, you can tell aboot from where a speaker originates.
You're Canadian?
ironically, UPN aired that episode last night
Alanis Morissette and yourself, share a problem with the definition of irony.
Mere coincidence is NOT irony.
American, are you?
Apple seem to be trying to monopolise (yet again) the high-end Audio/Visual market.
I am an Logic Audio user, but now Emagic has been bought out by Apple, there is hardly any chance of another Windows version being released.

Back in my day, we had to tan the hides of three oxen, just to get a C prompt up.
Banks are insured. Elections aren't.
I think the Bush team did a pretty good job of insuring the last presidential election.
Dammit! You're right. We should also get paid for this.
You mean, you don't?
I factor Slashdot reading into my project estimates.
Believe me, your slashdot nick is very appropriate.

Is that a spoiler from the Hitchhikers Guide movie?
Or are Disney going to deviate from the books because they don't want to scare the children?

Without some absurdly good justification (a new board of directors with Mother Theresa as chairperson?)
So, having an Undead Nun on the board of directors is a GOOD thing?

Is this story why the quote at the bottom of my screen says:
"QOTD: "Don't let your mind wander -- it's too little to be let out alone."?
You insensitive clods.
do D&D sessions count as social gatherings, cuz if so then sure, this works.
To answer that, first I have to ask this question:
"Are there going to be girls there?"
