Create a subscription channel called SCAF: the Shit, Cunt, Asshole, Fuck channel. Broadcast nothing but those four words over and over again. Subscribers can pay something like 25 cents a month to get it -- the money counts as a contribution towards freedom of speech. Then, if something like this is ever passed, it will result in the channel being 100% censored since there's nothing decent left to transmit. It'd certainly make for an interesting court case to challenge the constitutionality (oh, how I love made-up words) of these types of regulations.
Ask them to apply decency standards to books, movies in theatres, and finally to what you say in your own home. After all, won't somebody think of the children?
I wonder if the Renaissance felt a little like this, except for electricity and indoor plumbing.
One difference is that while the Renaissance had way better resolution than today's video games, the frame rate was absolutely lousy.

This verse alone is pure genius...
Call me master, 'cause I'm faster than Pryor on fire I no longer have to hot-wire I'm a hunter for hire with no plans to retire And all you sucker MCs can call me sire.
This must be some new meaning of genius of which I was previously unaware. Of course, if by genius you really meant schlock then I agree. Let's see:
The guy is a master because he's quicker than [Richard?] Pryor who is in flames. He no longer needs to steal cars by hot-wiring them. He is a mercenary and doesn't plan on ending his career. He can insult other people, so they should call him sire.
WTF?? Is there some clever double entendre I have missed?
Your post looks like a good subtle troll, however, I can't quite tell if it's something that the slashdot community will dislike given how free spirited the slashdot community can be.
In other words, who cares if Apple likes it? If it's good, use it. Do you ask yourself if your car manufacturer will like it that you're plugging an MP3 player into the vehicle's sound system? Oh my god, what if they dislike it??
Sentence up, male sibling... slip me some epidermal layer. Clearly, this individual believes himself to be the nat of shiz yet hear of him have I not. Will he place the smack at a lower elevation?
Notice the end of tv shows, now it would show MMV as the year for 2005.
And here I always thought that meant [Your] "Mileage May Vary", as in the show's creators thought it's good but everybody else on the planet likely thinks it stinks.
It appear's you missed a few apostrophe's, so I hope this help's:
Anyone who's studied even a bit of psychology and perhap's some communication's will realize male's and female's naturally excel in certain area's and are also drawn to those thing's. There's a REASON why you don't see many girl geek's... why try to force this on them by basically lying about it?
While it may just be "stigmata" about the socially isolating aspect's, it surely isn't about the "boring" aspect's. I promise you my girlfriend just wouldn't ever enjoy spending 6 hour's recompiling and securing a *nix system. Where as I find it to be quite relaxing and a fun challenge at time's.
If your idea of quantum computing is a computer only capable of a handful of bits and costing millions, then yes... the technology is ready. Would you like fries with that?
Here's a thought: how about when we've mastered the technology, we could create entire atoms and, eventually, entire components using entangled particles. So if the NSA had one computer and I had the same computer with an entangled network interface or video card, would I be able to surreptitiously spy on the NSA without them ever knowing?
At the very least, it'd make a neat premise for a novel if someone hasn't written something like that already.
There's this: http://www.asciipr0n.com/. But I remember ones from before 1990 which you printed on a line printer and it used overtype to get a better resolution. These seem to be only for viewing on a monitor.
Venture to guess how many places actually encrypt that in a database?
And of the places that do encrypt your data in the database, how many of those store the decryption key on the same machine? +5 hack bonus if they use symmetric encryption. Unless they encrypt the info with a public key, then transmit the data to another hardened, not publicly accessible server which decrypts it with the private key and processes the transaction, what good is it?
In any good restaraunt this does not happen. You are invited to follow the waiter to the till whereupon he swipes the card and invites you to sign for it.
I've never seen this, and I've eaten at some very expensive places. What restaurants have you been to that do this?
At any rate, I can see this being a benefit to the customer. Not only can they verify that the waiter isn't going to copy down the number or scan the front and back of your credit card (even though it's still possible to write down the info from the store's copy of the receipt) but it also has the side benefit that if you're near your limit and the charge gets declined, you can use another card or payment method without the waiter having to come back and embarass you with "Uh, sir... your card wasn't accepted". You can run down the road, hock your boss's laptop at the pawn shop, and then pay the bill in cash without any embarassment at all.
You beat me to this one. I would GLADLY use my CC over the internet before I would give it to a waiter, cashier, etc.
Same here. I think for most people, though, it's really just a fear of the unknown. Their credit card gets whisked off to some magical technological storage and they can't see what's happening. Even though they don't understand what really happens, their concerns are somewhat justified. There's a different scale of fraud possible when your credit card number gets stored in an online database vs. a waiter writing down the number.
In the case of a waiter, barring organized crime rings, your card might get used to order a couple of items and that's about it. With an online database, if that site gets hacked your number is now likely circulating amongst various hacker groups and could easily be used to rack up a lot of charges.
However, in either case your remedy is the same. Contact your credit card issuer, dispute the charges, then they go after the merchants who have to prove that a transaction was made by the owner. If they haven't swiped your card through their terminal and obtained your signature, then the merchant loses that money. Unfortunately, it's always the merchants who take the largest risk in accepting credit card payments.
What is it going to take to convince people that it's a bug in Firefox? Showing them the bugzilla entry doesn't work. Showing them valid HTML that exhibits the same problem doesn't work. Showing them Firefox developers talking about the bug doesn't work. Telling them that it's fixed in current nightlies doesn't work.
So... uh... what you're saying is... it's a problem with Slashdot?
Of course I know what they're talking about. However, I thought I'd make a reference to another geek favorite. Unfortunately, nobody has responded yet with the correct line.

Transmit the sattelite TV from another country. Easy-peasy, no problem.
So how do those land-based satellites work, anyway? Or does the broadcaster of the content exist in a different country?

what, does that mean that it plays raunchy pron over the wireless connection
No, not origasmi. I was thinking more the kind your neighbor's dog carefully arranges on your lawn. Dogs certainly know their feng shuit.

Yes, after ten minutes it turns into steaming audio.

First thing that came to my mind was, why is the site using the Sun Microsystems logo as their favorites icon?

So if a crash is reproducible, does that mean you can set it up in an infinite loop, stick a camcorder in front of your monitor, and... ??? profit?

Female and my occupation is the fist item in the drop down list.
So... you're "Flat"? Perhaps "-1: 40 comments"? Or would you rather be "Oldest Fist"?
That test, you can't explain it to your girlfriend without becoming incredible concious of her thinking you're a loser.
Maybe the real test you failed is having the right girlfriend.
Peter, your father and I want to have a word with you right now, young man!!
