My UID is lower than yours, so I'd say I'm not the new one here. And copyright is completely different from censorship. I don't agree with it, but if it can be said at all, then it can't be considered censorship.
I don't see slashdot removing any posts, even to goat.cx sites or even your post. Seems as you're free to say anything you want. It also seems that you seem to think that every opinion is equal, and that yours is necessarily just as valid in the same forum. Quite a different thing.
Just because you think "different" doesn't mean you think "right".
How the hell is this insightful? My parents may not have known everything I did when I was a teenager, but I knew there was a chance they might know about something I did. Kept me out of trouble for the most part. And believe it or not, teenagers are people too, even with all their hormones and angst. If you respect them, they quite often will respect you, and speak to you relatively civilly. If you're expecting to keep your kids under lock and key, then you're dreaming. But you can still get a very good idea about what they're doing where and with whom by just paying attention.
Perhaps you're the gullible one, believing that just because your kids hate you, you can't do anything about it.
Once you know, you Newegg.
Seriously. If you have a little patience, they have better parts, better inventory, better information and a great return/exchange policy.
No. They'll probably hand out copies of Linspire or Freespire. If they can make the computer even $50 cheaper by not using Windows, people will buy it. That's Wal-Mart's whole business model. Make everything as cheap as possible, while maintaining the bare minimum of expected functionality/durability.
And that applies to their employees, too. Medicare is cheaper than providing real health insurance.
Well, you SHOULD think that most users don't know the difference between RAM and hard disk space. Lots of people outside the "geek" circles (and a few inside of it) have no clue about the difference between RAM and hard drives. It's all memory to them. They want a bigger hard drive to make their computer go faster. Thankfully I've trained my family and friends to ask me those questions before they believe the twit at Best Buy or wherever, and they're learning more every year;)
Totally OT, and regarding your sig: A Coors Light and Guinness both have the same number of calories (in case you didn't know). You should slap that grad student.
Just because someone is an exceptional drain on society is not a reason to respect them. That's like saying "You know, she's on welfare, but she has 15 kids. Gotta respect that.", because no, you don't.
Well, they make it imprecise because the journalist and/or most readers quite often don't have the technical capability to grasp many of these rather involved concepts in a short article. But the article did give a hint in that it leverages a negative index of refraction. It basically "bends" light around something. For something to 'appear', light has to bounce off it or be emitted from it, and then enter a detector/your eye/whatever. If it never gets the "light bouncing off of it" part, then it's invisible.
And either way, even a 99% invisibility is a HUGE advantage. Think of things like an octopus. It's not invisible, but it can be damn hard to see. If you aren't knowing what you're looking at against a very plain backdrop, it's as good as being completely invisible.
In short, you're shortsighted and rather uninformed. Please remedy that before posting this kind of tripe again.
Because remaking something that doesn't have existing emotional connections won't be profitable. Don't you know that's how the movie biz works now? They're trying to screw up all their old classics so everyone hates ALL incarnations of them. New ideas are risky and scary. And all movies have to have huge budgets. Didn't you know that?
With ad is? Or did the submitter mean "ads", as in more than one ad? We live in a world where text is becoming more and more ubiquitous... why are people so lazy about it?
You have never felt hurt because the cost of windows is wrapped up into your hardware. They're charging much more for Windows than it's worth to a reasonable person. They didn't get billions in the bank by not having asinine profit margins.
Actually we do. For the last few years, Apache has had a worse security record than IIS.
I call shenanigans.
Apache 2.2.x and IIS 6 have no open bugs in Secunia. But those are brand new. However: IIS 5 Apache 2.0
For those who don't want to click, IIS5 is "Moderately Critical", and Apache 2.0 AND 1.3 are both "Less Critical". Being as these are the most popular versions of these servers... I think you're just a shill. Stop spreading FUD.
No. But the knowledge of HOW to steal your Accord is going to be much more prevalent than it would be for, say, a Ford Pinto. You aren't completely correct, but neither is the parent. Part of it is popularity of the system, part of it is the security practices of the system (software and administration-wise). Add both factors together, and you figure out how likely it is that you get infected/hacked/whatever.
This isn't really just funny... it's true. Teenage girls use the web and other forms of communication a lot, and it has become more of a social thing to have a myspace account. It's true of guys, too, but it's along the same lines of girls playing more games... they just happen to play the flash and Yahoo! type games. I'd be willing to bet that there are more active female users of myspace than there are active male users.
All I know is that I installed that update, rebooted and got the first bluescreen I've ever seen on this machine (work machine... what do I care? We're already an MS partner...). Haven't gotten one since, but it was definitely strange.
Walk past them at the door. Seriously. They can't stop you. It'd be false arrest if they did.
And just try finding someone when you DO need help. I can stand around fiddling with my cell phone and someone will come and ask me if I want help, but if I look them directly in the eye from the other end of the aisle (usually when I have a specific question only they can answer, as in the product's price isn't marked clearly or whatever), they just keep jabbering with their other friend. It's really quite strange.
Ok, you've done it at least twice in this story. THE WORD IS MANNER, NOT MANOR. Please... I know they're homonyms. It's not that hard, though. Show respect for yourself and the people reading your comments by not coming across as ignorant.

12oz of Guinness Draught has 125 Calories. A 12oz can of Coors Light has 120 Calories. Almost identical.

The operative portion was "on welfare". I don't live beyond my means draining on society.

He's talking about the tenants of the Internet architecture in his introduction... should I assume he means the electrons, or the switches?

The look on people's faces when you do laugh in their face is priceless, though. Especially if you do it in front of their boss.

If I had mod points I'd give them all to you.

It mostly only kills prairie dogs, though. Only a few human cases a year in Colorado.
