"...a general relationship between meeting load and the employee's level of fatigue and subjective workload was found"
OK then. To counter that, bosses should never assign work, or require work be done for a meeting. Make it more like, "Yo dude, what's up?" "Cool." "See Ya."
You know, the picking on Piquepaille cliche is growing old. Yes it's a Slashdot [nay, Internet cliche] to complain about cliches growing old, but consider that Slashdot used to be so funny and interesting. What's more interesting than Natalie Portman naked and petrified after all?
Where's the creativity? Why not suggest that Terri Hatcher uses Nanobatteries in her personal massager, or that you're thinking of Roland naked and petrified?
I wonder if this kind of technology will make it possible for people who have working nerves and brain center for sight, but whose eyes have been destroyed by illness or damage to the retina? Would macular degeneration, which according to http://www.macular.org/disease.html affects over 10 million Americans alone, be one of the blindnesses treatable by nanobatteries?
Just you wait, people will be posting here tomorrow complaining of the nasty foil cuts they got because everyone told them to put foil into their wallets or pockets.
I think it must be some NSA ploy. After all MIT thinks that foil hats help the NSA read brains!
The bonus of the ziplock bag is that it adds water protection. The downside is that it adds water protection, which means you'll sweat a lot if you wear it next to your leg, or chest in any kind of money belt. But this is Slashdot - sweat away!

I don't mind Intel dropping the Pentium brand. It will just help people I talk to remember that "D" stands for Digital Restrictions Managment in the new Intel computers.
Now that's funny, because when I wrote my post, I had CNN in mind in particular as a mainstream page with popups. Ebay for a time had them too, and still does I think but I've not checked in a while.
You don't get much scummier than AOL/CNN or eBay though in the mainstream tech world... does Symantec have popups yet?
"We are targeting the official release of Firefox for Intel Mac OS X in late March with the Firefox 1.5.0.2 update," Mozilla software engineer Josh Aas told ZDNet Australia.
One thing I enjoy about Free Software organizations, but especially Mozilla, is that they give plenty of information about their release goals and we can trust them. After all, we can just download the nightly files and make our own, or check on the progress.
It would be interesting to see a comparision of target dates set by companies, and see how well the initial target date was met. Microsoft vs. Apple vs. Mozilla vs. Opera for instance. -- Stop Sparky's brain from being probed by Bush
A large professional company like Microsoft, that claims to be always "generating the most secure OS ever - next" should be going over re-used code as if it were just written and using the perspective of a modern eye, spot coding techniques or processes that are no longer used for various reasons. Given the number of flaws with other image types from png to jpg, they should have gone over any code of their's that can process images and check for things like buffer overflow exploits and ancient processes. If hackers can do it, why can't the all powerful Microsoft, especially since they have access to the commented code?
And per my response here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=174044&cid=144 76529 I agree, and you'll see in the link it was done in jest. A plagiarized post from Wikipedia defining plagiarism, on a story about plagiarism from Wikipedia, with a single link to the obvious clue - get it now?
They aren't attempting to release a more secure Windows, this bug makes that apparent. This is a bug that they probably should have noticed when they ported the code from Windows 3.0 over to Vista, and thus MS would have noticed the bug last year or earlier and realized it affected Windows XP too and patched it before WMF became a 0 day exploit.
You're quite right, I intentionally left out the quotations for humour's sake. Given the title of "What Plagiarism is" I thought it best to demonstrate through example. The link to Wikipedia was only included so smart people would either clue in on the joke, or call me on my brazenness.
You're right, "my" paragraph IS plagiarism, hence the joke when someone loads the link. Self referencial humour, and all that...
But thanks for spoiling it for everyone:-) Just kidding, it's fine that you and others pointed that out. I was tempted to leave the link and explanation out entirely, but then when I posted the explanation, no one would beleive me that was I was joking around. The major flaw in my post though was that I was missing quotation marks, thus giving a reader no idea that I was quoting Wikipedia, not that the link to Wikipedia was after the quote which is perfectly acceptable. i.e. foot/endnotes.
Oh, please! That wasn't my point at all, and it shouldn't be your's either. I posted about Deep Space 1, so people who didn't know the Ion Drive is about 8 years old could look it up and read more about it. Something from a different ship and organization 8 years ago, isn't a Slashdupe. And ESA's drive certainly is Geek News, so don't tell AC-1 to move along.
What we'd need is a flaw in Windows that is damaging without a specialized attack program being involved. If there were something about Windows that needed repairing because you could just press Ctrl Alt Insert instead of Delete, and bypass the login for instance, then that would in my opinion qualify as being negelgent enough for Microsoft to settle a lawsuit.
Plagiarism is a form of academic malpractice. It refers to the use of another's information, language, or writing, when done without proper acknowledgment of the original source. Plagiarism is not necessarily the same as copyright infringement, which occurs when one violates copyright law. Like most terms from the area of intellectual property, plagiarism is a concept of the modern age and not really applicable to medieval or ancient works. This post would be plagairism had I not included this link, for instance. Perhaps because the journalist wrote for a printed newspaper, and couldn't get hyperlinks to work on paper, he thought it was better to include no hyperlink at all. He thought wrong.

Slashdot posted about the ESA's space Ion Engine just a few days ago...
Oh. This is another kind of search engine? Why not use Google?
eBay.com has popups, and has had them for way more than a year last I looked. They also send popups if a user has an unpaid item warning.

"Firefox prevented this site from opening a popup window."
Whenever I see that on a website, right there I think to myself, "This is an annoying, and/or low quality website with suspect information on it."
Pardon me, I'll use the signature feature in the future.

"Interestingly, by web conventions, he's claiming that the Wikipedia page is plagiarism, not his own post: if "this""
Good point, I hadn't realized that when I linked it that way, since my primary point was to make a self-referencial topical joke.
That of course was not my intention, to claim the Wiki-page as plagairized.
