Or how many rods to the hog's head?
For the love of God, please don't enlighten me as to the number Abe Simpson actually said, because I obviously don't care that much and am being facetious. Now, to ignore my own advice, I'm going to take the pint question literally (well, sort of): The number of pints in a gallon doesn't matter. You see, if a pint's a pound, then you just need to figure out the exchange rate from pounds to dollars. Unless of course England has switched to Euros in the many years my head has been under this rather large rock.
Well, obviously, when THAT happens she'll figure that Internet Explorer isn't working properly. Maybe she'll even want to switch to Mozilla. Hardly honest, perhaps, but sounds like it could be good for open source, and let's face it, if you aren't willing to compromise every moral you have to serve free software, you're a bad person on Slashdot.;)
...equate to privacy being required? It seems to me that you're assuming it's a bad thing for an anti-porn person to discover someone watching porn. Maybe this would force them to talk, and to get a better understanding of each other. Maybe it would help the anti-porn people understand that sexual desires are normal and healthy, and maybe it would help the pro-porn people understand that there is a lot of exploitation in the porn industry. Maybe it would even lead to better regulation of porn to remove such problems. It seems to me that the major reason North America (maybe the world, I haven't travelled much) is so fucked up on a sexual level is that we don't talk about it enough, and as a result we don't have the faintest idea what normal is.
The most interesting tech dilemma I've seen is this:
Is it ethical to improve a person by gene-filtering (or whatever it is that they do exactly)?
Seems like a pretty basic question, until you ask "Is it ethical NOT to improve a person's life if you can easily do so?"

LCD Price Fixing?

all well and good for those that have some use for a server, but there are those of us that don't have $1000 to throw around (hell, if we did, price fixing probably wouldn't bother us so much anyway)
Pink Floyd: The Wall is certainly a favourite of mine.
The reason I mention this is to point out that I can truly appreciate even quite disturbing films before I say what I have to say about Requiem for a Dream: I never want to see it again. I mean, sure it's got great directing, acting, cinematography, music, everything. It's hugely powerful. I was in a reasonably good mood before watching it, but I was more or less miserable for the next couple days. And that makes it the only movie I've ever seen that was depressing enough for me to want to avoid in the future.
continue. let the debates CONTINUE.
anyway, i have one major wish for gnutella2: that it will be to rare files what kazaa (lite of course) is to popular ones. fasttrack gives us everything we need for the stuff that lots of people want. what we really need in the p2p world is a more efficient way of transmitting the rare stuff.
no offense or anything, but if you're going to post stuff, you really ought to contribute more than repeating part of what the poster said and including a link to a site that's one click away from the link the poster had.
...is if they'd combine that watch and earpiece with the glasses. make it comfortable, and you can have everything at your fingertips all the time... or better yet, toss the display on contact lenses... i can see it now: "don't drink and degauss - it fucks you up, man":)
You know, it's all well and good that the phrase "begging the question" has traditionally meant what you say, but if you look at it as a normal sentence and NOT as an expression, it's components could be used perfectly well to mean "leads to the following question" as well. If anything, the definition you label incorrect makes MORE sense; you just call it wrong due to a tradition that never should have been started in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, there are two measures of validity in language: logical consistency with the rest of language, and the number of people that conform to a usage (this one can suck if a lot of people don't conform to a sensible usage, e.g. "could care less"). But in any case, using "begging the question" to mean either of the discussed definitions seems perfectly valid to me both ways. Wow, that felt like a pointless message.:)
from article: "copy capability files, directories and even whole drives from one destination to another. "It is good for scaling out--it means you can copy applications instead of reinstalling them"
sounds to me like this is an attempt to catch up to open source in the areas where ms lags behind... it sounds like a good thing, but i have to wonder, won't this be a huge open door for piracy? i mean, software pirates don't typically use windows server, but what prevents them from starting?

"vast minority" Hey, is that like the people who voted for George Dubya? :)

Anyone else having a ridiculously hard time posting?
...NERDS!!! Sweet merciful crap! I mean I know this is news for nerds, but do we not have ANY standards?
how much ground round would a hound dog hog if a ground hog was ground round?
Reduced to SILICON :)
Unless of course you have some really fancy organic computer i don't know about.
"SYS-CON's SYS-CON's Linux Business and Technology [sys-con.com]" Wait, slow down... WHERE did you post it? ;)
It had 20 G's to drop? ;)

at MY engineering school, they make us take "a english class"... you're ruining it for the rest of us! :)

informative? did you people click the link? yeesh. just when i start to think i'm stupid, somebody goes out and betters me.
everyone will have migrated to this blimp system from e-mail to avoid spam :)
do i hear one-click shopping? :)

couldn't SCO just hide their own code, take the open code and say "see, we had it first"???

you know you've been reading too much slashdot when you think it says "...these things are real. In fact, they are already being SUED"
