Isn't Zuckerberg's money all on paper? And not the green, cash-y kind? My point is, if there is an injunction against transfer of assets, then can he sell his stock to get cash? Standard IANAL and all that, but this could prove to be more than just a passing amusement.
Unless expressly stated otherwise we already assume you're not a lawyer.;)
Besides, Slashdot has way too many memes. It's a full-time job being welcomed by a beowulf cluster of Soviet Russian overlords who put things into things.
is it just me or is seeing this come through just really downright scary? as much as I'd like to see the laptop back in the right hands, now I want to also know how to gain some privacy on my IP... as ironic as that might be.
You have two options available, a proxy or Tor. Neither is guaranteed to be completely anonymous, particularly if the proxy forwards your IP address, but they offer at least some privacy. As a bonus, you can also use a service like Hotspot Shield to get a US IP address for accessing those sites that aren't available to the rest of us.
Believe in it and it will serve you. Each CPU can create coins in relation to the total CPU of the currency. Thus the more people involved who are not stealing means more safety.
I hate to say it but that's actually less reassuring. Maybe this will take off like Facebook and everyone will do it, but if it that doesn't happen it will be the enthusiasts versus the botnets.
Using Google to search for information to support your hypothesis is a lousy way to find the truth.
AC is right! From now on I'm getting all my information from comments on/. instead! Sarcasm aside, he was able to support his comment with more than just numbers.
(Interesting side note, searching "anonymous coward is a dick" yields about 2.4M results. Go figure.)
If you ever open up one of their machines, there's not actually anything in there!
This is not true, the innards of a mac appear differently to different people. To me it was a cluster of rainbow butterflies. Sadly, they all flew away when I opened the case.
I just saw a cluster of wires and blinking lights. I used a fork to move the wires so I could get an unobstructed view of this magical wonder. Judging by the magic smoke I'm getting right now I'm pretty sure I'll get a genie!
There was a man sitting in his room. He began to talk to God.
The man said, "God, why did you make women so beautiful?"
God replied, "So you would like them." "Oh," the man replied, "why did you make women so soft?"
Again, God replied, "So you would like them." The man was pensive for a moment and then asked, "God, why then did you make women so stupid?"
God replied, "So they would like you."
Really!?!? Tattoos don't wash off, and should not simply be applied on a whim??? Thank!!!!!!!!1 And thanks to everyone who modded this insightful! Maybe you can answer my question: is water a good beverage, and should I consume it, or other beverages based on water? Thanks, because this is not plainly obvious to everyone!
Funny, but according to the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery about 50% of people with a tattoo eventually want it removed.
People do impulsive, stupid things all the time, tattoos are no different. That's why you should always think before you ink.
Or he could make the "theme" the content of the tattoo itself. When I met the woman that later became my wife, I was instantly taken by her tattoo of... a book. A symbol of learning. Not of any one bit of content you may have learned here or there, but of the process of learning in itself.
And yes, twenty-odd years later it's a bit blurry and splotchy and certainly doesn't look as pretty as back then - but the meaning is still there, as powerful as it has always been.
Great story. Mine also centers around a woman.;)
When I was in the hospital the woman who is now my wife brought me a pendant that symbolized strength and courage. A year later, after I finished physiotherapy, I got a tattoo with the same design. The tattoo has meaning to me, both for my survival and the person who inspired it. More than seven years later I still smile when I see it in the mirror every morning and I will proudly wear it to my grave.
BTW - if you haven't figured it out yet, not everyone feels comfortable talking to random strangers, and some of us are unable to pour enough booze into our system to get rid of our inhibitions before we pass out.
Please stop perpetuating negative stereotypes. Guess what? *shock* *horror* There are actual people out there who do NOT fit the self-perpetuating "aspie" stereotype and who heartily enjoy the company of others, INCLUDING the company of strangers. Some of them even read Slashdot!
For the crime of being an unsmiling prick nerd, your ability to revoke others' geek cards has been revoked. Your loss of privileges will be updated the next time your geek card syncs with the cloud.
What AC said doesn't sound like a stereotype to me. Key phrases to support my hypothesis include "not everyone" and "some of us", indicating a subset of a larger group. It's true that not every geek's an introvert but I believe the ACs point was that not everyone is an extrovert either. Ironically, I think you come across as far more of a prick than the AC you're calling out.
That stuff only comes on Wednesday because the backlog of mail from over the weekend has finally subsided by Wednesday. If they got rid of Wednesday delivery, you'd just get the same crap on Thursday.
Guild Wars rocks. A few weeks ago I fired it up for the first time in over three years and all my characters were still there with all their stuff and "birthday" presents for every year they existed!
If Guild Wars 2 follows the same model (which I believe it will) I'll pick it up too.
Hmm...
I suppose we should buy up.xxx domains matching our current domains and/or name and make them redirect...
That might be pretty fun too... Or maybe just really creepy... Can't decide which it is...
It depends on what your site offers. For example, if you sell rubber gloves and garden hose you might see a boost in sales!

I'm quite puzzled how this would end up being modded "Funny".
Two possibilities:
1) Someone meant to hit informative but hit funny by mistake.
2) Someone saw the word "girlfriend" and assumed it was a joke.
seeing the extreme conditions man will venture into to quench an unstoppable curiosity.
Or to get chicks. Some people will do anything to impress chicks.
Hey now, Caving and extreme caving is NOT just for men. There are a lot of women cavers out there... www.flickr.com/undergroundearth
Yeah, that's probably why the OP said "people".

CPU cycles consume electricity, not CO2.
Depending on the source of generation said electricity may create CO2.
That would add new worlds of meaning to getting screwed by the used car dealer.
The scenario you imply will haunt my dreams.
LATFPITFA?
This is a total shot in the dark but I think it's "look at the first paragraph (or picture) in the fucking article".
Use them to tie stuff down in your truck.
Your Monster truck!
If this method could tell us if it rained on your wedding day?
Nope...that would be a coincidence. Still. Fifteen years later.
Isn't it ironic that a song about irony misses the point completely? ;)

Everyone knows that 78.49% of statistics are made up.
And that the other 23% are erroneous.

Kdawson, your are an idiot
The irony, I love it.
...attorneys are not interested into people posting on Slashdot. Can you guess why ?!?
Better privacy settings?

As they say in the industry: it's a business doing pleasure with you.
Just think - if this had existed a few years ago, they wouldn't have needed to make that godawful Daredevil movie.

I see what you did there.
That stuff only comes on Wednesday because the backlog of mail from over the weekend has finally subsided by Wednesday. If they got rid of Wednesday delivery, you'd just get the same crap on Thursday.
In that case, they'd better skip Thursday too.
Have you heard of Guild Wars?
