The people who karma-whore try to get their posts in as quickly as possible because, as the FAQ says, if you get in sooner more people will read it and it's more likely to be higher ranked.
Because of the karma system, you're only seeing people who employ karma-whoring strategies rather than intelligent commentary. That means making politically correct comments about whatever the submitter said. That means mouthing the standard, "freedom-reducing lock down is bad!" kind of remarks.
It's like that with a lot of new technology. Early adopters are self-interested altruists: they realize that if they help the pioneering companies out that they will be help to establish their favorite technology. Established technology is worth more than technology noone's ever heard of, so they are indirectly investing in themselves.
If you look at the history of companies like Apple, for example, you see this effect can be quite pronounced. If we Mac-heads had let Apple die, our investment in skills and hardware would all be worthless now!
if they ever were, firewire is pretty much just a subset of scsi, with a little bit of whipped cream thrown on top
First off, it's a superset. SCSI has asynchronous mode, FireWire has that + isochronous mode. (Guaranteed bandwidth.) This allows totally new applications, such as digital cameras.
All nodes on firewire are potential hosts or peripherals, which again allows totally different applications, such as target-disk mode. (Hold Command Option and T with your iBook and another Mac can access it like an external disk. A PC could access it if it had MacDrive or something similar. Apple's got a tech note somewhere.)
Firewire is powered (allows new mobile applications) and is actually plug and play, so it's much easier for consumers.
All in all, these are substantial differences from SCSI. How's it a subset anyway? No annoying clickers for setting the IDs? No messing with termination?
Just typing on my iBook now... it's actually quite accessible, only you'd have to pop the keyboard off. Since this only takes a few moments, I don't think it'd be a huge issue.
Yup. If I wanted to make the case that we still need a VPN even with WEP to a suit, it would be nice to actually crack the WiFi network and give them proof. Especially if I could show that someone could just sit outside the building and break it.
Actually, I thought 9 was really good. Granted, it was hefty, but they had finally finished a lot of what they started with 7. AppleScript was very mature, for example, and virtually no 68K legacy code was to be found.
The reason Classic Mac OS stuck around so long was that they made a lot of good design decisions, and most of the apps really were pretty stable.
No, the point is that you can adjust statistically for data that is not "collected in a consistent, methodical manner."
I'm skeptical. One thing that got pounded into my head in my Statistics class was that you have to have a model. You have to know what the data means in order to make assertions about it. True, a large sample size will, to some degree, negate the effect of noise in the data, but it won't substitute for a model.
You're right, of course, I've been using Pheonix and Chimera so long that I'd forgotten how many plugins there are that connect to IE and can access the DOM.
Does the Mozilla project have anything that could, say, *warn* the user when it detects a new plugin? I'm talking about something similar to what we do on Unix systems, just periodically doing an MD5 hash on relevant binaries and looking for new ones.
All this aside: there is no general way to read transaction information from websites. Web-sniffing is incredibly labor intensive and error-prone, and you can't improve erroneous data by gathering more of it.

You're in the thick of it, granted, but as far as they can tell you haven't got any 80211.b card at all. You can tell them, hey, I'm just using my laptop. Go look for someone with an external antenna.
Why is it that so many comments bring up either the fact that the radio already pays royalties, so it's insane to force the cabbies to pay double taxes OR the fact that other businesses already pay royalties for having a radio?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're the first person to equate royalties with taxes.
You can't have a rational debate if you're drawing false equivalences.
Odd, wasn't NYC basically a loyalist hotbed during the Revolutionary War?
I see. If they were Tories 200 years ago, they must be conservatives now. That's up there on the list of dumbest things posted on Slashdot.
And in other conservative swings, Nelson Rockefeller from NY state, no? And Ronnie Raygun from California.
I see. Based on the existence of two conservatives, they can't be leftist. How about the fact that they repeatedly elect leftists (Red Davis, Clinton, Chaalie Schumaah) are regarded as Democrat strongholds by the Dem pollsters?
I don't believe that. How can you get someone's cc statement from browser logs? I connect to my bank via SSL, my browser doesn't cache pages retrieved via SSL, so where's the data?
(Granted, I'm using OS X for all my personal stuff, but if I were using Windows, I don't see how it could work.)
Personally I think Stallman is wrong on just about everything he says, and is a dyed in the wool socialist, but I still don't see what term he could have used in preference to Manifesto. And I don't generally associate it with Marx, possibly because I've never read the Comm. Manifesto.

I don't think STL supports bigints, so you'd have to define all the functions to manipulate the array, those would take more than 10 lines.
We should all have our prefs set to mod Offtopic at least +2.
Oh please, oh please, oh please cancel Friends.
I've hated it ever since everyone started singing "Smelly Cat," and it's just the same unfunny crap they had on Seinfeld.
I know I'm blaspheming, and yes, Kramer was funny. At least, the first thousand times he did the running through the door thing.
Thank God Seinfeld knew he wasn't funny and quit before everyone found out.
Or they can just take out the battery and not pay you.

Obviously if you *were* planning terrorist activities you'd use precisely this disclaimer. I'd better forward this to No Such Agency.
Hmm... try this: when you chat her up, don't say one fucking word about your computer. In fact, sell it for a down payment on a car.
Just a thought.
No, normally we only sold one kidney.
...was the notion that the aliens had discovered proof that the universe was created by a higher intelligence.
That'd be evidence, not proof, and it'd be fundamentally no different than a bible.
I'd love to see a version of cc that can work with terabyte large bigints in "10 lines or so"
put a disclaimer on these posts moderators ;-)
I don't need a 20 page proof to tell me the moderators are irrational.
