OK I'll accept your point. But you would need some pretty expensive equipment to keep the beam steady, correct for the speed and altitude change of the aircraft if it's on glideslope, and make sure your beam is steady over the spot that exactly lines up between the pilot's eyes and the runway.
This equipment is called "hands", and pretty much everyone's got a pair.
Or is it your point that the "blinding" only happens for a few seconds, what could go wrong in that time?
You would be hard-pressed to find a place that's actually called "The Clothing Store" or "The Department Store", because they are almost certainly not trademarkable names: a competition could open right next door and call themselves "The Clothing Store" and the original store wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Nitpicking: he didn't say zero cost. He said "near zero marginal cost". Doesn't that mean the cost per additional sale is near zero Not denying the rest of your post
For all that (rather tortured) explanation, one simple fact remains: knowledge does not always imply guilt.
People can have friends who experienced the field firsthand (he could be a teen), or they be a researcher in that field (he could be working for the Business Software Alliance), or they could simply be (inaccurately) extrapolating from what he's heard.

FiloEleven finds a factual flaw in the article. Creedo says that doesn't matter because he agrees with the idea of mocking religion. Who gets marked as the troll, and who gets marked as insightful?
(awaits the reply to this, which will no-doubt be marked as insightful, while this is marked down as troll)
Sigh. The wrong one is marked as troll, and the wrong one as insightful. And your insightful comment stays at zero.
I'm getting tired of slashdot - any good substitutes?
Personally, I think an Outlook/Exchange solution is much more productive for heavy office email users than the clunky thin-client Gmail offers, but this is one of the most egregious examples of FUD-seeding I've seen.
I agree that its a stupid and lazy approach. But there is only so much you can do to "make it compelling" until reality sets in that discipline is necessary for children.
The oldest approach is still the best - have teachers (and not machines) who **recognize** kids conduct roll calls.

Its your "doubt" v/s his certainty of having upgraded his work machine.
Your analogy would be meaningful if I subscribed...
Rather, my analogy would be meaningful if you expected from others that which you were not willing to accept.
Now you quote this as justification, but its simply not true...
"IMO, knowledge is knowledge, whatever the source, and the beliefs of the people who originate the knowledge are completely irrelevant. Creationists quite explicitly reject this view;"
For e.g., I am a creationist and I believe knowledge is knowledge. Biblical YECs place the highest value on truth - as do all Christians.
While I won't ask you to float away, you should at the very least not use any GPS devices, should route your internet traffic over copper alone (not fiber, certainly not satellite), must not use cars, or anything that makes use of our knowledge of the laws of motion.

Your post is thoughtful and well expressed. I'd love to get your viewpoints on the vaccine issue.

You've never heard of The Container Store?
No. Do they sell Java applications?
A log file isn't a database:)

I really do hope refusing to be a porn delivery vehicle is not against the law in Denmark. :)

Only a 4% fee? Are you sure? No 'small-value fee'? Or 'QR-code-usage surcharge'?
Hmm... I thought you were describing 9/11
Don't worry.
Its a bogus article

Perhaps someone should explain to you this story is bogus.
Unfortunately, nowhere in the Bible does Satan ever have a trident. But this is Slashdot... sigh let the Christian bashing begin if it must! :(
Perhaps you should explain that to the Evangelical Christians in Brazil.
What nonsense!

Actually, yes.
They want to benefit the local community?
Probably as much as you did
How do you redirect light with a solid state system ?
Will this use the same tech the new breed of laser projectors will use?
And we have anti monopoly laws and anti cartel laws modulating this freedom

Yes, the E6600 has VT support.

What does that have to do with the OS anyway? Its not like XP somehow 'hides' VT functionality from VMs.
"I have kept every email I have ever sent or received since 1990"
Instead, I keep every email I sent.
And I make it a habit of acknowledging all emails I deem "important", quoting the full body of the original message in my reply.

Can you have a look at the people and literature available here?

"creationist, then refuse any treatment...."
Newton was a young earth creationist.

Go on, be consistent yourself!
If the laptop has bluetooth, and your mobile does too, pair them and script the video IM program to establish a connection on pairing.
That way, as you're turning the key in the lock, your local kitchen laptop is busy calling your home, and you enter to shouts of "daaady's here"
