"1. Control + Enter shortcut doesn't exist. Folks that are getting things done already know this little trick saves a few keystrokes by automatically appending the "www" and ".com" to any word (just type in yahoo and then press Control + Enter to see it in action).

What browser is this person using? Typing "yahoo.com" in the navigation bar of either FireFox 2.x or IE 7 will result in the browser navigating to "http://www.yahoo.com/." Pretty certain this behavior has existed since at least FF 1.0 and IE 6. There's no "Control + Enter" shortcut, unless for some reason you type in the address and then move the focus to the viewing pane. Just try typing in "yahoo.com," press enter, 50% less keystrokes required.
Why is this important enough to be posted on Slashdot? Yaman Salahi is a de facto supporter of terrorism (which indicates a lack of editorial oversight in that his claims are taken at face value on Slashdot). He has the audacity to compare his situation with "Dred Scott decision, or Plessy v. Ferguson," and then lamely retracts the comparison in the next paragraph. Yaman Salahi knowingly defamed Lee Kaplan, and then tried, and continues, to plead ignorance of the law as a defense. Lee Kaplan sued. He won. Justice served, the system works, defamation, especially in the furtherance of ethnic hatred, is not legal.
"Talking on your cellphone while driving isn't a crime in most states, but it should be. Studies have shown that people who drive and talk are many times more likely to have an accident."
Please explain under what system of justice, under the rule of law, criminalizes behavior that is not in and of itself criminal, but because it may lead to criminal behavior? Is it wise to classify people as criminals based on the statistical probability of a sample? No crime would have to have been committed, you'd only have to prove that the percentages, taken from other people, shows a slightly greater chance of a crime being committed. What about inherent characteristics? Statistically, black people are far more likely than others to commit crimes. Applying the principles from the logic propounded in the parent, we should criminalize being black, and imprison all black people, not because as individuals they have committed a crime, but simply because they are more likely to as a group.
The title for the article is questionable. It's extremely debatable if, regarding the topic in question, there exists any positive scientific consensus when it comes to global warming. It also contradicts the last line of the story and source article itself, "'Let us resist the politicization of science and oppose the term "scientific consensus," which is always achieved only by a loud minority, never by a silent majority.'"
I'm an anarcho-capitalist whackjob foaming at the mouth, not an archo-communist whackjob. Thanks.
Capitalism is only evil if you count cube farms.
Capitalism only works if I produce something you want to buy and use. I'm serving you, not the other way around.
"A University of Washington researcher who couldn't find funds the old fashioned way has raised funds from private parties to continue with his studies of 'time travel'.
I gather the "old-fashioned way" is using the IRS goons to beat someone else over the head and steal their money to fund your pet projects, while the civilized way is of course asking people for funds, instead of taking it by force.
Oh come on. Google is just as big of a corporate behemoth in search engines as Microsoft is for operating systems. Maybe in addition to the (failed) motto of "Don't be evil," they should add (and immediately break) "Don't game the system."
Can't seem to find a spot to offer feedback at Apple.com/safari. So hope Apple's watching. To even consider switching from FF to Safari on my laptop, it must support the middle-mouse button so I can scroll up and down from the pointer, without having to use the scrollbar on the right side of the browser window. Thanks.
Print out the EULA, stick it in the box, and tape it inside in a large neon orange folder saying "EULA: Read This First!" in a way that it has to be removed from the box before the equipment.
Mac laptops might not be more expensive than PC laptops, but Mac laptops don't have available docks (only after market which are really just giant USB dongles). You're also stuck with an atrocious glidepad. If Apple offered docks and a Trackpoint, I'd consider it, but not using a toy mass consumer laptop, even if it has nice specs. Specs don't in and of themselves result in a good product.
Circuit City is not the tech sector. It's the retail hell sector. Dell, well, if you stretch it, you can argue it's in the tech sector. It's more of a packaging and logistics company.
1) Are they asking for positions, or people? If positions, hang up.
2) If they know a person's name, first call that person or their secretary, and see if they call is legit before passing the caller along. There really should be a list to screen out known bad incoming calls.
The total lack of preexisting or logical legal basis combined with the impossibility of an effective enforcement mechanism make such a claim over cellphone traffic and sovereign territory astoundingly absurd.
I'd point out the French only came in against the British after the Colonial forces took Saratoga, and the tide had turned in favor of the Colonials. The French weren't stupid, and were only going to back the Colonies once a Colonial victory was a near sure thing. We would have almost certainly gained practical independence from the British with or without the French. We're grateful for that aberration of French assistance (after all, a major cause of the American Revolution were taxes levied by Britain to pay for the French and Indian War), but don't overstate your case.
What do you do once you, or a clumsy house guest, inevitably spills steaming hot coffee (with a sticky creamer or loads of sugar) all over your nice shiny new "coffee" table?
If your computer is connected to the internet, and therefore a part of the internet, then won't any music files stored on your computer necessarily be online?
I read about this earlier, and have three questions:
1) Is this a sincere protest about a supposed lack of reading among the US population? Millions of new unsold books are pulped each year, so this just sounds illogical. or
2) Is this a bizarre marketing ploy? and
3) Is there a list of which books you can "save" for a dollar each? Can you select them? How much is shipping and handling? Enough to turn "saved" into "positive profit margin," I suspect.
This is nutty crap. It's Cheney is evil, Israel and Jews are Nazis, the US is ruining the world, and George Bush blew up the Twin Towers. Maybe they weren't censored but instead largely ignored(after all, this kind of dreck is all over the internet), but no self-respecting news media would sully itself with such zany and radical conspiracy theories?
The Smithsonian Institute is part and parcel of the Federal government. Being both funded and managed by the Fed, it is a government agency. That a government agency will generally support the government line, whether factually correct or not, should surprise no one that's paying attention and that has even the most basic familiarity with hierarchal organizations.

It's not a bug though. It's a lack of support for a common feature.

Looks like he deserves a low rating to me. Are we sure he's a real lawyer? Or does he just somehow avoid all discussions pertaining to jurisprudence?

Mmm, yes, because electronics are famous for having wonderful results when lathered in soapy water...

Any reading material, highly improbable. According to the US Census Bureau, average spending per pupil in 2004 was $8,287.
