Do you mean set it out literally in the sun, or do you have the mistaken idea that water moves from liquid to vapor by breaking down into its constituent parts?
Your plagiarism from wikipedia aside, the wall might have served another purpose, i.e., as a great public work, that would help accrue, consolidate, and maintain power for the ruling classes thru the use of "surplus" labor.
Bluetooth headsets would theoretically allow any form factor for a PDA/Phone, even something built into your clothes. (Instead of clipping your phone to your belt, the phone is your belt.)
The other thing I'd like to see is foldable screens/input devices. Still a ways off, but it would certainly be nice to have a bigger screen when I wanted it that I could just fold up and stuff in my pocket.
Are you sure it's a satire site? Did you read the building a linux system for grandma article? Seems pretty close to somethings I've read time and again on slashdot.
Why should you be forced to earn money to pay for food, clothing, and shelter? No one asked you if you agreed to such a system, you were just born into it. So, why should you be expected to take responsibility for yourself? It's not fair!
Why should you even need to eat, drink water, or breathe to even survive? You never signed any documents agreeing to such limitations. It's not fair!
What the fuck is up with all these other people inhabiting the planet? You never gave them permission to exist. It's not fair! Since your life is here, they should all just go some place else, and stop using up the valuable resources that are yours by right. It's just not fair!
Don't get me wrong. The partisan position serves her well on Groklaw, even if I occasionally find it annoying. If she writes a book on the SCO saga, I'm sure I'll read it. I just don't think it's the book I most want to read, which would require someone with at least the appearance of objectivity to get interviews with SCO management, attorneys at DBS, etc. I want to hear "their side" of this after all is said and done and they don't have the same motivation to lie. Even if they're still full of shit, I still want to hear "what were they thinking". And I don't think PJ has a chance in hell of getting a candid interview from some parties.
I think you are under the mistaken notion that your taxes are raised to cover both the increased spending of a GOP controlled Congress(!) and the decrease in tax revenues from tax chorts. The truth is that it's not you who will be penalized or burdened by the tax chorts or the profligate spending of Republican politicians, but those who come after us.
(Disclaimer: I'm a registered Republican that is more than just a little dismayed at the course the GOP has taken in the last decade.)
If you're not driving the biggest car possible with the lowest MPG possible, you're unpatriotic and disrespectful of those who have given their lives that we may be free to pursue our gas guzzling lifestyle.
Maureen Jambor, executive management consultant and part time mom, put it much more eloquently than I ever could.
Suffice it to say, if you care about global warming, the terrorists have already won.
You've seized the gist of the matter. It's not that Novell's lawyers are playing "nice"; I suspect that they're as hard-nosed as any other lawyer representing a client. The difference between the half-assed tactical antics of the "bottom feeding scumbags" and masterful strategy of the Novell legal team is night and day.
If PJ can ever rein in here over the top partisan P.O.V., I'd love for her to interview all the participants and then write the definitive history. As I don't think she'll ever lose that P.O.V., maybe Bob Mims would be a better candidate to write such a history.
Well, in the linked article, the focus is on Novel, not Suse (yes, I know that Suse is a subsidiary of Novel), while the slashdot story summary is primarily focused on Suse. That should be a clue.
Seriously, look at the summary and then the articles. Which article is a better match for the summary? Look at the time stamps on the articles. (Yes, I know there is a possible lead time for submission, but I'm talking about the publishing, not the submission.)
I buy two to three games a year. I like games, I'm just not into them enough to seriously consider building or buying a dedicated gaming rig.
By the same token, consoles and console games cost too much for me. I've considered buying a used PS, but I don't think I'd get that much use out of it. I'm looking forward to the Nintendo Revolution, however. That platform seems to be targeted at people like me, who want to play games, but don't really want to invest that much.
(As a total aside, I've found a much better hobby to sink my money into: motorcycles. Riding a motorcycle, even when it's just to work, is a million times better than any video game. I'm only sorry I only found this out in the last two years.)
Slashdot Mirror
Thanks for the link!
Sorry for assuming that you were an idiot, but your initial post was light on details and this is slashdot after all.
Excuse me? Did I plagiarize anything?
Do NOT taunt Happy Fuel Cell!!
You still have to deal with pollution in the form of Smug.
Isn't this called the Pentium Principle? It's what keeps thousands of geeks from freezing each winter.

Oh, crap! Here come the Godwin Nazis!
RUN!!

Heheheheh. It's so dead pan, I guess it's hard to tell. =) Admit it, though. You know people like that!
PS: Did you check out the "gay toddler" articles? The linux vs. windows article? Choice stuff!

Not only that, but in Korea, only old people use PDAs.

Excellent point, and the exact reason why this review should have been an AJAX app/service.
(Isn't there a flash plugin for Lynx yet? My god, how long has it been?)
They make Lombard street look as straight as the 5.
I think it would be better to say that Paypal is kinkier than a rastaman's pubic hair.
Your agreement is signaled by your sticking around. if you don't like the rules, then leave.
Otherwise, your argument is similar to the argument that private property is not valid, since you never personally ratified the concept.

You proved me wrong and I learned something (something that in retrospect seems obvious, but isn't it often that way?).
Thank you!

Does that four-way dual core Opteron set up include a cloaking device?
