Feeling superiour because someone doesn't know a technology is all too common on slashdot. It's about as common on slashdot as feeling superiour because you don't believe in God or because you do believe in the coming Global Warming Catastraphe. Shit, I thought we didn't believe in Global Warming here!
Could someone please keep me up-to-date with the beliefs du jour!!1
Just out of curiosity, what is it that you think allows sites like Slashdot to even exist? I realise/. get paid to host advertising, however a lot of geeks block that advertising. Also, I only come here to read the comments and interact with the community. The requirement to maintain this sort of site is infrastructure, bandwidth and some development work which obviously has costs associated with it. The thing that ppl come for though is provided by the ppl.

Not directly to parent: Another thing that has come up a lot in the recent discussions on the topic (of Google acquiring DoubleClick) is that DC tracking cookies will give the Goog some evil super-power; what, you don't think Google are already tracking your every move on the interweb*?!

On the other hand I shudder at the thought of e.g. robots that look like children being designed for all kinds of abuse that would be illegal on a human and being programmed to react accordingly. Or even worse, as someone said in a previous discussion; if they were programmed to like it! captcha: autonomy
You can still obtain such a loan, but I wouldn't recommend it. What, interest-only? Here in Australia there's a lot of money to be made by such means. I highly recommend it for investment purposes.
That raises a funny point: I used to promote and DJ at doof parties in and around Sydney and all my 12"s have a notice that they are not for public performance on the label. WTF else do they think ppl do with vinyl records? I know you could buy a public broadcasting licence from the MAFIAA but no promoters I know bothered. Also, the kind of music I'm talking about was only targeted at that scene (and maybe bedroom bangers) so??!1
Whoa there boy!
I know the "F"TA TV scene here in.au is pretty dismal, but you've got your self some serious pent-up about it; got an axe to grind or something? Go for a walk -- we've got some of the World's most beautiful bush in our backyards -- or read a book or something.
One advantage of an artificial lifeform is that it can just face its creator and ask him for the meaning of its life. That's a fascinating philosophical position; Can we give our creations a satisfactory answer?
'Cause we felt like it. Is that the answer God would give us?
Heh, yeah... I just wanted something to fuck around with, lol.
It's a Polish tongue-twister, It's translated into English in my.sig. The original is:
W Szczebrzeszynie chrzaszcz brzmi w trzcinie It's meant to be one of the hardest things to pronounce in Polish. Note: The a in chrzaszcz is supposed to have an accent on it but/. won't accept it.
While your point is excellent, that purpose still might be better served with "us.apple" and "uk.apple". In that case, it would be up to Apple how finely to divide up their regional websites. They might decide to build wales.apple and scotland.apple, for example. In addition to ca.apple, they could have qc.apple for Canada's French region. And who decides which company called 'Apple' gets to own that name in the first place? That would be apple.computer and apple.design then, right? But what if you have a different design company called apple in the UK and the USA...
Couldn't this be used to make a self-powered Wii? Lord knows, I'm jumping around like a monkey when I play on that thing. Um, my wii seems to be self-powered.
If the text is parsable, it takes nothing to google it.
I mean, those two examples you give; just slap it into google and screenscrape it. So you're going to need harder questions than that.
Maybe a [WARNING: multiple pages] heads-up is warranted on future Slashdot postings. That's what the tagging system is good for. I propose the use of multiplepages in this instance.
it's not paranoia when there *are* people out to get you And anyway; Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
Also, we're software developers; Trust Nothing is just good practice.
I guess this goes to show that one man's funny is another man's informative/interesting. Or ppl are trying to slip you some karma with the bump; Personally I prefer +1 underrated for that.
The Net was never devised to be an extension of child-safe Disneyland and should not be subverted to be one. Now that you bring it up if you troll through the results of this search there's some pretty funny stuff.
Speeds will be equivalent to WiFi service on the ground. Yeah, from your WiFi card to the base station, the latency's going to be a bitch though. VoIP doesn't work well with a high latency connection.

I know, I was working in a data center that was surrounded by the Seattle WTO events.
Really officer: I'm not a radical longhair, I'm a UNIX longhair! That's ironic judging by your website address.

Yeah, I usually write it wouldn't've; that's the way it sounds to me.
So the next generation of crapchas will ask "what color is the sky". But Google even answers that one.
