So, basically they are saying that it's OK because it is not contemplated in the WireTap act. That' just wrong.
And people were concerned about GMail... LOL! For some reason, I trust Google more than I trust Comcast or Verizon.
Is this core closer to the P4 core or a completely different one? I'm not familiar with Intel's current family, but I seem to remember that Celerons were based one on the P2...
Well, I hope they don't go with the "Starfleet Academy" idea that has been rumored recently. That would be dumb.
Star Trek lost momentum with Insurrection and was definitely killed with Enterprise. The pilot was excellent, the idea was interesting, but boy... the writing... the horror... the horror!
They should have new rules for any upcoming ST project: (1) No captain-centric stories. (2) No more "Ensign Rodriguez, go look behind that bush and get killed by a man-eating alien while the regular cast stays here." (3) More interesting aliens, less annoying aliens (Ferengi.. puaj.) (4) DO NOT reuse ideas from previous ST projects. Be creative. There are lots of things that can be explored without remaking a couple of episodes in a movie, with new characters.
Oh, we need the glory of the TNG years.
I wonder if this bill would cover the "protected music CDs" that install software withput your consent... but then again, that's only a concern if you live in a Windows world.
Well, the fact that it did well on the charts has more to do with Slash and Duff McKagan together again, sans Axl Rose.
As far as ripping, it works fine on a mac... no problems whatsoever. Oh! And the album is also available at the iTunes music store, so you have the option of buying it cheaper and not having to rip it anyway.

Hold it! Being exposed to tools and products is not the same as being educated in Computer Science.
I see it coming: "This quarter, I'm taking Intro. to GNU Emacs, Advanced BASH Scripting and Mozilla! I'll be getting all A's!"
Not sure if this is "new" or not, but I'm sure that Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" is written in assembly code (MIX).
Want to learn computer science? Computer Architecture, Automata Theory, Formal Languages, Compiler Technology, Algorithm Analysis and Math are usually good (required) starting points. The language should not really matter - even the JVM has "assembly".
We should teach people general truths, not specifics. What if this "Linux x86" assembly students face a PowerPC? or a SPARC? or sometihng with a different ISA?
Three girls, actually. The third one took the photograph. Wasn't that obvious?
Makes me wonder: Too few girls working on KDE or most girls working on KDE run away from Kgeeks' Konferences?
First of all, bear in mind that getting a PhD in Computer Science is not the same as following a career in engineering. Edsger W. Dijkstra once said, "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." This little (almost pedantic) phrase reflects the importance of recognising the difference between a career in education (research) and professional studies.
A Ph.D. in Computer Science is typically immerse in mathematics, not "just" in software engineering (please, do not read in a derogatory sense). Researchers aim to different jobs from those usually obtained by engineers. This does not mean you're over-qualified, this means you were trained to do something else (research).
Getting an advanced degree (Master in Software angineering, Doctor of Professional Studies or similar) will certainly leverage your career. Becoming a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Computer Science will not necessarily train you for an IT job. You may, however, apply for the R&D department - Ph.D.s are not "condemned" to work at Universities, National Laboratories or Research Centres.
The problem is all engineers have provided a Q&D solution at least one. Time? Money? Other constraints? I can't tell, but it sometimes seems people prefer things tat "work quite well" to things that actually work they way they're meant to work.
Yesterday,/. pointed out the availability of Edsger W. Dijkstra's manuscripts. Some people are still inspired by his pursue of code elegance, well-though, goal-defined programming and getting it right from the beginning.
Seriously, most software developers live from maintenance contracts (a.k.a. fixing the shit I developed for you) rather than selling a fully-functional, fully-tested 1.0 version.
We should all try to get it right the first time. This is particularily true for engineers (not programmers); The use of well-tested and mathematically solid algorithms while coding a well-designed system (which followed a thorough analysis) should be our "de facto" way of life... not just patching things we wrote out in a hurry.
That is why hard-working coders (like you, me and everyone who reads/. 7 times an hour) drink so much coffee. In one our, either you stand up and go get some, or you go to the bathroom.
We had already solved the problem before they "e-discovered" it.
Well, at least he doesn't look like declaring war every time he feels like it, right? I mean, Jobs does not look like a killer (even thou he's looking for "the killer app")

Washington Mutual even has toys (Ken and Barnie style dolls) with action gear... I think they call them "action tellers".
Well, someone someday will come up with the smallest wind-powered source for our MP3 players. In the meantime, let's keep bombing for fuel.
Well, this brings a new meaning to "I fought the law and the law won:. Honestly, who sues for crap?

They already had one! It was included in MS-DOS 6.2, called MSAV. It sucked anyway.
Hey, now his coding will improve! He'll have Pizza Schmizza!

This comes to show that First Prize winners don't necessarily make it to slashdot.

Hmm... I'm using v85 too, and it works fine. This is on top os Jaguar 10.2.6.

Safari and Konqueror seem to have no problem at all.

Why do it?

Seriously. My neighbour's wife was killed with one of these things.. we were all at a racing exhibition and... ouhm, wait... doughnuts!
