Another interesting phenomenon I've noticed in association with those sanctioned "cheat sheets" in tests: the more I put into the cheat sheet, the less I needed it. For me, and for many others I've heard of, transcribing the facts and formulas was a mnemonic exercise.
I mean, if you think DRM on stuff you bought and paid for is bad, why is DRM on stuff the Library bought and paid for good?
It'd be nice not to have it, but if having it means we get a free service with lots of benefits and no disadvantages over the current system,
That's dangerously close to "I got mine, screw the rest". As to the advantages, this is just the most advanced buggy whip ever invented in the era of the automobile. Infinitely-reproducible digital information doesn't need artificial scarcity.

But not as the operator or driver of the vehicle, I sincerely hope. That would make "texting while driving" look positively sensible and benign in comparison.
not everyone realizes they need to distrust and scrutinize every little thing they come across, especially when it looks like a very legitimate message from the browser itself (English errors notwithstanding).

Actually, this Gamespy article makes it sound like AAFES* asked Gamestop to pull the game. Logically (a dubious word to use in conjunction with military bureaucracy, but run with it a second)... Logically, that means that AAFES will pull the game from its own shelves as well.
This doesn't say anything about NEX (Naval Exchanges) and MCX (Marine Corps Exchanges), which were independent organizations last time I checked, so maybe the Sailors and Marines will be able to buy the game. And mock the Soldiers and Airmen.
*For those who haven't picked this up from context, "AAFES" means "Army and Air Force Exchange Service".
Woodward and Bernstein are declared "not journalists", "Deep Throat" is unmasked and secretly prosecuted, the Watergate Hotel remains just another uninteresting building in the District of Columbia, and Richard M. Nixon, after successfully driving to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, goes on to third and fourth presidential terms.
this may be based on Free software (residing in the machine needing its kernel patched), but it appears that patch preparation is based on a subscription service provided by the Ksplice Uptrack people. That's the part which is (selectively) free-as-in-beer. This isn't organic to the kernel or the normal methods of kernel updating.
That means there's libre-free software and a service provided by a non-distro company which is, for selected distros, gratis-free. For now.
The technical description sounds like the ancient OS patching techniques the old mainframes I used to work on used.
And frankly, I'd still feel a little more comfortable with a reboot, since I'd worry a bit about state consistency of kernel and client processes. But, I guess smarter people than me says it OK, so what do I know?

If the computer shutsdown/locksup, your control surfaces freeze, and you have A LAWN DART.
According to my informants, and the material I've read about it, if the FLCC bricks, you don't have a lawn dart, you have confetti--the airplane exhibits negative static stability below Mach 1 and will pretty much depart aerodynamic flight and exceed structural limits in seconds at high subsonic speeds.
You're probably right about low-speed flight system failure, though.
That said, most of the "lawn dart" comments I heard were specifically from twin-engine (Eagle and Hornet) jocks and specifically about the single engine (and its somewhat unforgiving mid-air restart process). YMVM.
Sure. The media pigopolists are thinking of the artists. Specifically, how to get more money out of their hands and into the publishing interest's own.
This kind of legalized extortion isn't reflexive, you know. It takes a fair bit of thinking, plus the scruples of a stoat, to invoke the cause of your own victim in support of your victimization.

Interesting. I just noticed that the title doesn't agree with TFS or TFA. 5K, not 50K.
I still say botting.
Or botting the whole stinking thing.
That's my odds-on favorite theory on how you can rate 50k items.

Freedom for me? YAAAAY! Freedom for you? Meh.

That explains the cake. And the victory incandescence.

He was paid so much money it that crossed the mystical line into the "plural money" category. Like, "mo money" except much much mo.

At least we now know why Yazeran wants to go to Mars with a hammer. Perchlorate poppers!
It probably wouldn't help to be Einstein, since he was a physicist, not a psychologist.
C'mon, it's not rocket science, either, von Braun.

The Dilbert version is more consise.
Let's see what this incident does to TDC's viewership and Nielsen numbers before we declare the channel "punished".
Were it not for the apparent loss of life, this would smell more like "publicity stunt" than "terrorist event".
Speak for yourself.
Five, with the sixth on the way.
I suppose that would have pissed ol' Nutjob right off.

I Seymour what you did there.
How is this a news article? Oxford University Press says that when they are ready to publish their next revision in 10 years,
Hey, the /Editors are doing their duty by laying the groundwork for a decade of dupes and highbrow versions of Duke Nukem 3D and Phantom Console jokes.
Whaddya mean, "prop"? Whaddya mean, "movie"?
Holy midi-chlorians, are you claiming they're just FICTION?
Next thing you know someone's gonna insist that the moon landings were filmed on a soundstage.
I, for one, find your lack of faith disturbing.

Well, if we're talking about game reviews, I think a safe assumption is that if it's glowingly positive, it's fake.

That's OK. Maybe some day Slashcode will actually render and tags. About the time they decide to implement more than 2% of the HTML entity set.
I'd expect the neighborhood is pretty steamed about it.
