  1. Re:GE corn? Why the fuss? on Starving Nation Turns Down Bioengineered Corn · · Score: 1

    I've made it past 30 on Top Ramen, Pizza, Pepsi and Beer as regular parts of my diet.

    I'm pretty sure it's not the carbohydrates....

  2. Re:internal security on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    So we should do away with all directory and machine rights because anyone that's on the lan has "essentially hacked the network??"

  3. Re:Umm....duh!!!! on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    How long do you want to stay in the building? 2 minutes to drop it on a lan connection and hide it behind a filing cabinet? Or a while trying to hack some passwords and installing a backdoor? I think you might have missed the point...

    The Dreamcast isn't the quietest thing around either...

    Yes, it would be expensive to pay that many people, unless you say took 5 and programmed them to fly in formation off the lead man, who was being flown by a human......

    yah...great.. it's all downhill from here....

    "Today two 6" F-16 Air Force jets were fired upon by two 3" SAMs. They were able to avoid the incoming missles, and retaliate, destroying the SAM sites with a few 2" HARMs. Iraq has totally denied this claim and says that they were defending thier national security."

    -"People want to see MSN, Yahoo, and eBay"

    -"I rather doubt people want to see those sites that much, especially if offered workable alternatives."

    -"In fact, it has closed down because everybody was using Yahoo auctions"

    Please compare the 1st and 3rd sentences...

    What makes you doubt that people would want to see those sites? People everywhere do.... Hence the popularity....Whether it's a good site or not is moot...

    Never thought I'd read about cookbooks on slashdot.. best of both worlds...heh. I'm going to have to look up BOTH of these books now. Alton has a great way of bringing things across in a way people can understand.

    I have found the best cookbooks that I have are two culinary institute books that I picked up on a whim. I think newest one doubles for a boat anchor. I have it open every other night, if not for a recipe, for tips, sauces...you name it. (need to know how to filet a flounder?!?) It's called the New Professional Chef from the Culinary Institute of America. Prolly the best $50 I've ever spent.

    New-age-kitchen-toys = MS Visual Studio

    (not trying to start a flame war..but it's an interesting analogy that made me think about the ways that I cook and code....)

    I feel the same way. For me I get the same passionate mindset as when I'm coding... It's all about creativity and massaging the ingredients to do your bidding... It's satisfaction...

    You don't need to. But if you car is seen at a hit and run, you either take the rap or turn in the guy that you lent the car too. Same difference.

    and that's totally legal... when have the police ever been chastised for pulling up behind someone and running thier tag?
    They haven't because they are not invading your privacy. They are keeping the streets safe. If you wish to go out of your house, you are in the public domain. That's like saying that anyone that sees you doesn't have the right to tell anyone that you were out because it's invasive.
