Than what is to stop Slashdot founders from setting up a script at home computers to refresh the page as much as possible - thus supplying them with enough income to upgrade their servers and home computers and internet lines to allow more refreshes and make more money?
The million page loads from a handful of IP addresses would be a bit of a giveaway, no?
What bank do you use? Serious question. Mine offers 0.01% interest on savings accounts. Yes, zero point zero one percent.
If you use a savings account as an investment vehicle, you're doing it wrong. Invest it elsewhere or find some place that will take your money and give you more back.
And I don't know if there were ever LAN parties held, but with enough geeks there might be a shot at it. Geek Cruises to be halfway decent, but seems to have gone downhill quite a lot. For example, their homepage has... a quilting cruise?!?
When you denigrate Linux you get modded down as troll. When you denigrate Windows, you're modded up to +5. But denigrate Apple and you'll start a 100 post long flamewar with many +5 Troll and -1 Insightful posts along the way.
By the way, did you know "+5, Troll" is no longer possible? I hereby sacrifice my karma to any mods willing to try.
We've begun implementing Microsoft's latest "developer stack" at work. Now every time someone refers to "TFS", I think "what, Slashdot is on Team Foundation Server too?" Great. Thanks Microsoft.
Remember those sequences in Spielberg's take on 'Minority Report' in which advertisements would actually call out names of passers-by or customers entering shops - how that would work with groups of people (or whether it would just default to a generic pitch) I do not know.
Person with the highest probability to buy the product being advertised. Factor in disposable income, interests, gullability factor, and so on to come up with a number from 0 to 1 for each person. Choose the highest. Of course, playing on group dynamics would also be neat if you can determine that some the members of the group know each other.
The left and right video streams will be skewed to one side - rather than centred on the image that the original cinematographer was looking at through his/her viewfinder.
If it was made for 3D, then the cinematographer has properly framed it to work from both the left and right "eye". Besides which, aren't we talking a difference of less than 10cm?
But if they change the formula for calculating safe dosages, they can show fewer bars on the display and people will at least feel better about their dioxin exposure.
It's also recommended that infants hold breasts with their left hand.
There's some good stuff in the bible -- wisdom which has been handed down through the generations before someone finally wrote it down and many of those teachings are beneficial. There's also a lot of total utter crap attributed to a bitter, jealous, vengeful, cruel, and sadistic god. There is also a lot of wisdom in the teachings of Buddha. Or the teachings of Mohammed. Or the teachings of various native populations -- North American Indians, African Zulu tribes, and so on.
Why not take the best teachings from all of these and teach your kids solid, proper values without cramming some religious propaganda down their throat at the same time? "Do unto others" does not need a magic genocidal sky fairy to be taught and have it make sense. It's not like people are incapable of teaching their kids the values of family and giving without Jolly Old Saint Nick.
Yeah, just like anyone who doesn't take the time to learn self-defense courses deserves to get beat up!
If you sign a contract to fight in the UFC and you don't know any self-defense, then it's not a question of what you deserve... you're going to get beat up.
If you sign a contract to have someone else pay for your music production, distribution, and promotion and you don't understand the contract you're signing that says they're loaning you money for all of that and they expect to get paid back, then it too is not a question of what you deserve... it's what you agreed to.
Defendants Mark Elliot Zuckerberg and Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”) respectfully submit this memorandum in support of their motion to dissolve the ex parte temporary restraining order (the “TRO”) issued by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Allegany, in this matter.
"Let me tell you something about that court order..."
Plaintiff has utterly failed to meet the procedural and substantive requirements for such drastic relief, and the order issued by the state court is similarly flawed and woefully inadequate.
"They, like, totally screwed up legal procedures! And that court order? Come ON man, that's fucked up!"
In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that, as a result of a two-page contract purportedly entered into more than seven years ago (and approximately nine months before the founding of Facebook), he is entitled to an 84% ownership stake in the Company. (Id. at Ex. A 4, 8).
"And this crazy 84% number based on a couple of pages seven years ago? Riiiight..."
I'm trying to have fun with it, but that's pretty much what it says.
Horrible, horrible horrible horrible (!!!!!) Skype VoIP quality. Skype calls through Fring on Android, for instance, sound far worse than with, say, Nimbuzz. While Nimbuzz Skype calls are better than GSM in terms of clarity and on par in terms of latency, Fring sounds scratchy, overly compressed and introduces pretty bad latencies.

I started a guild in another game (not WoW, but one that tends to attract more players in the 30+ age group)
Care to mention which game this is?

Do you know how I know that you are gay?
Is it because your asshole is still sore?
You know how those wacky developers are with their marijuana!
Would that be Silibong Valley?
At least link to the project page rather than a rehashed "news" story: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/lightspark
Someone who's capable of discerning the topic at hand.
You must be a thrilling conversationalist.
"How are you doing?"
"Fine."
"Hey, have you seen that new movie?"
"Sorry, this isn't about movies. The topic at hand is about how I'm doing."

I don't understand people
Perhaps you'd understand people more if you didn't take their quotes out of context?
3-5 day cruises and people do pay for them.
Not that I'd do anything that silly, of course, but... got any more information on those? :)
There are these ones: http://www.geekcruises.com/

Actually, the Antarctic ice cap is losing volume, even though it is gaining surface area.
Soon it will be a Menger sponge.

If some electronic add calls me a chick...
you'll do an electronic subtract?

Perhaps the egg shell developed as a result of a cookie setting error? Did chickens really eat cookies back then?
Pardon for hijacking the thread, but people need to be informed that Gene Simmons never had a personal computer when he was a kid.

Religion is harmful to minors. Discuss.
Can someone translate the legalise for us? Thanks
Sure.
