Yes exactly! Why on EARTH are people sharing information on the Internet that they want to keep secret?
I feel bad for these kids whose parents are from the 19th century American South but come on, if you're that worried about it don't broadcast it to the world.
Would you talk about it at a big dinner with your family and friends? No? Then don't mention it on line!
I was in High School in the 80s, and I don't remember learning much other than typing. However, one thing I do remember learning is to be comfortable with computers so that later, in college, I soaked up every computer class I could before dropping out because I was offered a job that paid better than what I could expect upon graduation.
I'm still in that job, and am still comfortable with computers.
Every single person who was against a smoking ban for their state or the country, should think that businesses (though possibly not the Government) doing this is perfectly fine. It's all about free choice and these businesses are just doing whatever the hell they want which is great.
As a non-smoker who voted for the ban in my state, I think this is disturbing and there should be regulations keeping companies from caring what I do in my spare time.
As an intelligent slashdot reader, I instantly saw the problem with all of the examples in the summary. Back when we were trying to figure out how to blow up Japanese schoolchildren en-masse, smoking was not known to be as detrimental as it is today. Same goes for all the rest of them.
I'm lucky that even at my job, jeans and a tee-shirt with something funny on it is just fine attire.
When I get dressed, unless I'm going to a nice restaurant or something like that, I have exactly the same routine all 7 days of the week. I grab a pair of jeans (or shorts if it's nice), underwear, socks (unless I'm wearing sandals), and whatever tee-shirt is on top. When I do laundry, I put all the new ones under the pile of clean shirts I've not worn yet.
This ensures a semi-random assortment of tees and I rarely wear the same one in a week.
I didn't do this out of any plan to be more efficient or save my mental energy. I just can't be bothered.
That can be solved (albeit for less points) with a blank.
A bigger problem is that the word is 9 letters long, so not only do you need all the right tiles, but two of those letters already on the board with the right spacing.
I love clicking on a link that purports to be informative, when I did nothing wrong myself, and be presented with a page that tells me to run javascript.
I actually like the font, myself. The problem most people (myself included) have with it is that EVERYBODY* used it for about 3 years when setting up their first webpage.
That, animated gifs, and black backgrounds are completely ruined forever in many people's minds.
And auto-playing music, but that's inherently wrong** while the others are - in theory - possible to do correctly.
*Not actually everybody. **I never speak in absolutes***, but auto-playing music the first time you visit a page is wrong. Always. ***oops!
I take it you've never heard of Occam's Razor. Given the composition of Mars and other evidence gathered to date water is by FAR the most likely substance to have caused this.
I bet it was Florida Orange Juice. Prove me wrong!
This would be far more useful as a timeline infographic type thing, listing the computers and OSes used by when started and ended, but I'm too lazy to do that for a Slashdot post.
I married someone who was a very nice person but was different from me. We got divorced.
I am now dating (Marriage is a sham I won't enter again) someone long-term who is very much like me. Not like I think I am (which I believe was your problem) but like I actually am. Every day is like the day we started dating. It's awesome.
Slashdot Mirror
On the iPad you tilt the iPhone or iPad left or right to steer
No need to use touch for it
And just like with a car (or console game) the entire world tilts as you steer your car.
"You and me" aren't the legitimate government of a sovereign state recognised by the UN. Well, you might be, but I'm definitely not.
So at best it's "You OR me"

You better stop eating vegetables too, then. They subsist on a steady diet of shit.
You forgot option 3:
One guy emailed them 19,000 times.

If this keeps up, soon NOBODY will make slippery-slope posts!

What does it meeeeeeeean!?
/Yeah it's an old joke, but someone had to make it.
If this life is all there is then, when it becomes unbearably fubared, oblivion is an obvious and easy way out.
There's always a chance, no matter how small, that life can get better. There's zero chance that death can improve.
Yeah but what if your life sucks AND you're really really lazy?

How about an actual link?

It's made the web readable again for me.

Came here to say exactly this. No, seriously. I had that entire first sentence in my head, word for word, when I clicked the article.
Though I was going to say something about how people were just using the app wrong :)

Whenever I try to activate tethering on my Verizon Droid X2, they want me to call corporate and buy it for some $20/month.
That's why you get a program like EasyTether or AZILink.
Woah... Microsoft makes a phone that runs a version of Windows? No way!
You haven't heard of the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Phone running Microsoft Windows Phone 7 from Microsoft?
And using that one data point, you extrapolated a truth about every female programmer out there.
Based on my observation of you, I predict that all men are GENIUSES!

You think that's far? You should see how far it is to the chemist.
i.e. the universe is homogenous every 250kly looking up, every 10ly looking left, and every 100ly looking forward
That doesn't sound very homogeneous.
(Yes I get what you're saying and agree. It just sounded funny)
