You're a leech and a "soul sucking jerk" plain and simple. Don't even bother to try to hide this fact. You can try to justify your leeching to yourself, but spare us the bother. We've seen it all before.
You've obviously never made professional sheet music. I have. It takes, at the very least, the composer, the transcriber, the transposer, the engraver, the initial proofreader, the publisher, the secondary proofreader (who finalizes the measure-count per stave and page-turns), the final engraver, the administrative staff, etc. These are all specialized jobs.
You got a +3 insightful post for your "insightful post", but you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. In the future you should avail yourself to learning about the topics that you claim an authoritative stance upon before commenting.
The rest of the dipshits here have their head too far up their asses to use any form of logic, which, if they had, they would have come to the same conclusion that you just did.
As an exercise to the viewer of that image, what does the Bb [B flat] key signature indicate? Which instruments usually play Bb repertoire? Is that concert Bb or transposed Bb?
It was only relatively recently that some hacker has designed their whole website (can't find it now) in a pretty impressive javascript mock-up of GEOS for the C=64.
Maybe we'll hit MacOS classic type web-interfaces sometime in the next 5 years:-)
He tried durian again on a later episode, and at that time he said it was the worst thing he's ever tried eating and that he would never try it ever again. Pretty funny that it's a fruit that got him!
I'd like to see a comedy sketch where ED-209 is employed in a loan collections agency, and goes haywire writing progressively less polite dunning letters to some customer who has, if fact, paid off their loan.
I remember Bytes! Gazette which catered to the Commodore 64 and 128 crowd had this clever input program in Commodore BASIC that would allow the entry of programs by byte-codes. That is, each edition of the magazine had these long list of byte sequences (i think they were 5 chunks to a line, and something like 200 lines for the bigger games) where the first 4 bytes were data and the 5th was a checksum for that line. You would enter these sequences using the BASIC program and it would allow you to proceed to the next line or it would prompt you to re-enter the line if the checksum failed.
The problem was that the BASIC program code was only run every other issue, so if you only bought a few issues from the supermarket you'd probably miss the program and waste several hours entering otherwise meaningless junk into the standard Commodore prompt:-) Then again, I was only 9 at the time, so I didn't really know any better until my brother-in-law pointed out that I needed to use the BASIC entry program...
I think you're thinking of 3d Hidden Picture and I agree that it looks pretty damn neat.
Like the annotation on the youtube video says (if you have annotations turned off), it uses one the DSi's cameras to detect motion.
OT about /. metamoderation being broken

I think the current and recent moderator pool is from the newer users who are used to moderation on sites like reddit and digg where people tend to vote emotionally, and unused to slashdot's trend of promoting comments rather than demoting them.
It doesn't help matters any that the new(er) metamoderation system is completely unlike the old (working) system, and that metamoderation seems to do absolutely nothing these days...
I'm surprised that the fire pit was not renamed "Turkmenbashi" since the old leader, Saparmurat Niyazov named himself, and just about everything else in Turkmenistan "Turkmenbashi".
The only thing I can think of that might jibe with your parent's post is the church's ban on embryonic stem-cell research. Apart from that, then I don't know what s/he is talking about either.

Fuck this idiotic slashdot 2.0 shit.
The method does not allow putting the batteries in direct series contact with each other. Problem averted.
Or Morse code, or Braille, made to look like moles on the skin.

Oh no, we know it.. Don't like it, but we know it.

Yea. I'm not risking downloading something, posted by an AC, that ostensibly originates from 4chan.

Apparently I don't remember very well because I think it was Compute!'s Gazette. I wonder what else I am misremembering from my youth.

Sigh, I still kinda miss those days.

I totally have to remember this line. It's just too perfect of a succinct example of how some nutters seem to think.
Hence its appropriateness for slashdot!
You win!

Bloody hell, I knew it but still fell for it anyway.
Here's how to handle these people
THANK YOU! Goddamn idle css is horrible
The trailer reminds me of a cross between generic Final Fantasy and Diablo cgi cut-scenes.
My mother actually sent me this letter when I first moved out of state. I thought the poor gal had gone completely bonkers.
