Well it was 'minimal' registration - whatever that means.
I have a serious suggestion: as so many people are royally pissed at these stupid harvesting zines, why don't we just wait until a decent news source publishes before coming to/. with a story?
So we don't have to hide our tails between our hind legs with unbelievable utterances such as 'minimal registration'.
And thanks, parent, for doing the gentlemanly thing and pasting in the entire article. It was a good read. Most kind of you.
It's good education in the US is picking up, but it's amazing in such case, given that teachers are treated like shit.
They don't make any money to speak of, and they're either dedicated to the unbelievable extent that they do the job despite having to carry a second job to just get by, or they get burned out after a while with all the Michelle Pfeiffer trials and tribulations and just start not giving a damn.
Start paying the people who form the generations what they're worth, and you'll see even better results than now.
This is all very welcome. There was a time when the worst perps were the people writing off US ISPs. That this is changing cannot be but great.
Language is culture, and culture is heritage, and it's always something to be proud of. Good use and respect for one's language implies respect for oneself. It can't be but a winner.
The all-time best game has still got to be Larry Laffer. The first episode, but even the later one where he wins the hand of the chieftain's daughter by inventing Unix.
I am a registered NY Times reader, but I refuse to go through the hassle anymore. They're just downright silly is what.

Same in Sweden. And it goes up from there to about ten weeks. Plus, you can't forget the month off at Xmas, from about 15 December to 15 January. And still we're both amongst the most productive countries in the world per capita. I wonder why that is?
Poor aboriginals in those third world countries like the United States...
They don't call work "work" for nothing. If it was fun they would call it Vacation.
We're cracking up on this one over here. Either this guy is the stupidest poster of all time, or he's a newcomer comedy talent destined for greatness - and has a great future which he is sure to enjoy.
First, there are people who do only what they want to do in life - and get paid very well for it. 'Vacation'? From what? They can travel where they want; they're not stressed; they don't have weekends because they don't have workdays.
Obviously, you are not one of these people, and so I feel sorry for you. (Yes, I am one of them, and I feel absolutely fine, thank you.)
Second, anyone speaking of 'job' instead of using some other word - sorry, but it sounds terribly working class. Like a thermos and a paper lunch bag. If that's your life, then I feel sorry for you again.
Thirdly, trying to avoid things one 'overly enjoys' is going to lead to trouble. Where would this planet be without the people who were passionate about what they did? They'd be in your shoes, bucko, is where, and then how happy would we all be?
For you don't seem very happy at all. Actually, I think you're yanking the proverbial slashdot chain here, but someone modded you as insightful, so we shall see.
Anyway, I have to get back to work - I miss it so much - so bye.
I'd think that if the government of any country is having enough of a problem with fake money they should move to digital money. They already do for bank transfers and credit cards, why not go all the way?
Oh I agree. Most definitely. And it's a lot harder to hack paper currency than it is someone's digital money. After all, how long have people been doing digital transactions on the Internet? And have we seen one, just one, infraction during all that time? One instance of criminals able to exploit some unknown (and improbable) hole in Internet security to gain access to, for example, someone else's CREDIT CARD?
Because, very simply, counterfeiting is not the sole or even major reason to do this. This has been argued elsewhere by experts in the field who are far better equipped to banter on the subject, but it's more or less ascertained as a fact.
Not that the currency people will go along with this, of course.
The Swedish Riksbanken, for example, offers special images to photographers, in an attempt to appease people on both sides of the issue.
Full-sized screenshots that are resized smaller in the HTML! Wonderful!
Yes, very cool. So when you get through waiting for the page to load, or if your mortgage runs out in the meantime and you have to move first, whatever, by then everything will seem to be very fast.
And very clever. I'll bet the author used the height= and width= in the img tag to get the huge files down to the size of thumbnails - that and a calculator, to preserve the correct aspect ratio of course.
We bought a water rocket kit from Wal-Mart. We're launching in April, hopefully on the first. Target: Io, moon of Jupiter. Finally anyone can enjoy the thrill of space exploration.

Maybe you should concentrate on getting your writing and typing skills up to par first.
See the
Geez, I hope you write better at your web site with '? 13,000' uniques a day than you do here.
You've got misspellings, typos, incorrect word usage, you name it you got it bucko, all over the place.
And 'senior editor' - doesn't that mean you have to proof read and approve whatever goes in?
I feel sorry for your '? 13,000' readers in such case. No offence, but your writing sucks.
becoming a better writer... more than I would of ever written
It would seem you still of a way to go.

For important philosophical reasons
I'd love to know what these 'important philosophical reasons' were. Better yet, who were the idiots who actually cited them.
Tar and feathering still has its place in an honourable society.
This is all very welcome. There was a time when the worst perps were the people writing off US ISPs. That this is changing cannot be but great.
Language is culture, and culture is heritage, and it's always something to be proud of. Good use and respect for one's language implies respect for oneself. It can't be but a winner.
I'm not sure if I should be proud or hang myself
Pride is not an honourable alternative.
Hang yourself - just don't make a mess of it. People will have to clean up afterwards.
Ah, so this gets modded down THREE times because some KDE users' feelings are hurt?
Gonna burn books next, boys?

Rocket science.
It's a good thing you didn't put this in apple /., because by now otherwise you'd have everyone telling you their favourite was AppleScript.
... is that Wolfowitz found out most of the overseas vote would go against W, which would hardly be surprising.
In a word: awesome. It will hardly change anything, but it's cool, very very cool.
Kudos to Michael for a very cool thread title as well.

It is! Heavens! I just checked with my broker, and it is! What's happened?

I think it looks better than Windoze - classier, a polished, consistent look - but it's still a Windoze lookalike.
Get rid of that Teletubbie thing...
