$5 for 1000 pages. If you set it up so the subscription is 1 ad-free page per day, like me, you can be subscribed for more than two and half years for five bucks (I've gotten some gift subscriptions and at this rate I'll be subscribed for the next eleven years), which is great for trolls who only want to see stories early so they can get semi-relevant first troll posts into stories that get modded up long enough to cause problems and throttle legit discussion.
The "nothing to see here" means the story is up, but to try and keep the trolls away it can't be posted to for about 60 seconds after it's put on the front page (and, as a side effect, if the entire write up isn't on the front page, you can't read the whole story either).
Clearly it's just another failed attempt by Taco and friends to keep trolls out. It doesn't, I've gotten in two or three first post trolls that resulted in giant pissing matches despite the "Nothing to see here" crap, so all it does, like most of the other "anti-troll filters" on/., is inconvenience legit posters. If Malda wasn't so anal about having meta-discussions about the site somewhere on Slashdot, he'd know this.
Hey, the FCC is an arm of the people you helped to elect. If you have a problem with what they're doing, you can either challenge their decisions in court (assuming that someone isn't already) or get people fired up to fight. What people fail to realize (assuming they're smart enough to realize when their corporate government is in the process of screwing them, anyway) is that they still have to elect congresscritters. If people really care about the issue, you can whip them into a frenzy and threaten the re-election prospect of the fat cats from your district.
If people don't care? Well, it's like the music industry's continued assault on aural quality. Too fucking bad. People are free to do as they will, and that includes fucking themselves over if they so choose.
No, anything that's limited to WAP is the superior text browser for locating text information because Google has an HTML -> WAP proxy that translates pages for you, sans crap like Javascript, images, and flash (i.e. "text information").
Email doesn't get any more secure when you encrypt your data, your data does. STMP communication is still as vulnerable to interception as it ever was, it's just that now the intercepted data is, largely, useless.
You are aware, I assume, that individual voters run corporations and that it would be a trivial book keeping matter to redirect the campaign funds business gives through the respective business owners who could, then, legally give them to the people running for office?
Another example of the far more sensible approach our friends across the pond take to things. Even though the majority of people are citizens, not corporations, we only value the corporations when it comes time to protect "people" over here in america because they have the majority of money.
Waa waa. I pointed out that Windows is just fine unless you're clueless and I'm a troll. Boo hoo.
His copy of Windows doesn't suck anymore than the idiot that's using it. If his SO knew what he/she was doing it wouldn't have been a problem, and they'd break anything else just as badly if they didn't bother to take any time to figure out what they were doing.
Cars don't suck because they crash when people drive drunk, the drivers do. Windows doesn't suck when idiots connect it to a high speed network unprotected, the moron using it does.
Maybe if his S.O. was a little more competent, Windows wouldn't suck so much. A better question might have been "why did I marry such an imbecile?"
I've been running an XP Pro box for over a year and a half now sans any A/V or patches with the ICF on, and it's clean as a whistle. Don't be a moron, and your computer will suck less. Pretty simple.
Despite what the ravenous morons on this site will now scream, the RIAA was collecting information and planning BEFORE she died. They just happened to file the lawsuit AFTER she died. They got the wrong person, yes, but it's only coincidence that she happened to be dead by the time they actually filed the suit.
Though I'd have to question the masculinity of anyone who's such a pansy they have to beat their kids.... you could at least go kill a bum or something.
1. Mothers must drive with children in the car from time to time. There is no conceivable reason you need to be driving and on the phone at the exact same time. Pull over, or STFU. Simple.
2. Actively concentrating on a distant voice coming from a person in a completely different environment is nothing like interacting with a person in your immediate presence.
3. Listening to music is a passive activity that can be and is immediately blocked out in an emergency.
Get the fuck off your goddamn phone and drive the motherfucking vehicle you stupid shit.
Yea, dumbass. A 90 year old driver has been using a cell phone while driving since he inherited daddy's model T you stupid wanker.
The "point" you so contorted your warped little mind to miss in the process of your hourly karma whoring session is that elderly drivers suffer from slowed reaction times and limited senses, whereas this is a problem that is INTRODUCED to younger drivers artificially. As in "it doesn't get any worse becasue the effects have already taken their toll".
And, would you have felt better if they'd have used an example of you slamming into a merging dump truck instead of the child on the street?
You're a moron and the only reason half of this mental dungheap you post gets modded up is because you have so many people so willing to get down on their knees for you. You're about as insightful here as an ingrown toenail.
I believe the idea is probably that older people have slowed reaction times and limited senses in many cases. Similarly, you're less likely to notice and process something happening on the road ahead within an acceptable amount of time if you're concentrating on something else while you're driving.
I think it's kind of fitting that his first act as president of OSI is, apparently, to start a flamewar on Slashdot.
The entire corpratization and politicization of "open source" is ridiculous, and this really seems to highlight that. I don't care about GPLs and BSDs and all this other nonsense. If I write something neat, and I want to open source it, I'm not going to worry about the economics of the decision, nor am I going to get embroiled in a pissing match over politics with some fringe lunatic that looks like he set up a sanctuary for peregrine falcons under his chin.

Your amazing ignorance of other cultures is eclipsed only by the stupidity it's steeped in.
Or, to put it another way, since you obviously have no clue what you're talking about: SHUT UP!
Your statement is a bit misleading. Powell was giving A position in the FCC by Clinton, but he was made Chairman by Bush.

SMTP communication, even.....
STMP? Simple Transexual Male Protocol?
Email doesn't get any more secure when you encrypt your data, your data does. STMP communication is still as vulnerable to interception as it ever was, it's just that now the intercepted data is, largely, useless.
...and those from individual voters.
You are aware, I assume, that individual voters run corporations and that it would be a trivial book keeping matter to redirect the campaign funds business gives through the respective business owners who could, then, legally give them to the people running for office?

Fark ->
c in mph
is sufficient. Google recognizes some constants as well as common unit abbreviations such as "km/s", "mph", etc.
Wow! Where can I get this mythical operating system that can do all the work of the user and cannot be broken no matter how incompetent the owner!
And, if you say Linux, I'm just going to call you an idiot and point out that if you really think that, you probably never even used it.
If you think A/V is the only way to protect your box or figure out what it's doing, you're probably one of the people who needs it.
Waa waa. I pointed out that Windows is just fine unless you're clueless and I'm a troll. Boo hoo.

Get over it.

With "all the technical know-how" on Slashdot, it's probably a spambot by now....
What's the point indeed.
Despite what the ravenous morons on this site will now scream, the RIAA was collecting information and planning BEFORE she died. They just happened to file the lawsuit AFTER she died. They got the wrong person, yes, but it's only coincidence that she happened to be dead by the time they actually filed the suit.
Whatever works.
Though I'd have to question the masculinity of anyone who's such a pansy they have to beat their kids.... you could at least go kill a bum or something.

The entire thing is ridiculous.
I wouldn't know. I don't think I've even been in the same room as an Apple system since the Apple II.
lol
Dude, you bit.
Vtec just kicked in 'yo!
