How about a netbook-style device which could offer limited functionality on it's own for email, web, basic office apps (say a boot image updated from the central server when connected), and used as a thin client at the office plugged into a docking station with proper display(s) and keyboard+mouse? Best of both worlds?
Why, all you'd need is some kind of Window System that could display X, where X could be any number of applications.
Wikipedia tells me that "hair is a keratinised protein filament". Thus, if you're significantly cutting back on protein due to eating a vegetarian diet and you're not making up the difference through non-animal protein sources then your hair will likely suffer. However, I would wager that you would need to be predisposed to baldness and the lack of protein exacerbates the symptoms rather than causes them.
Look if you are starting to go bald you had might as well get used to it because no matter what you eat or do your hair is as good as gone.
You will not mind being bald anyhow it makes life much simpler. I have my head shaved to the skin every month or two. No need for shampoo conditioner and all that crap just rub a bar of soap across like the rest of your body an you are good to go.
I'm trying to figure out your poem. There doesn't appear to be any consistent rhythm, nor do the words for which you chose to end each line rhyme or even come close to rhyming. There's no significant use of metaphor, imagery, and so on. Can you help?
Truecrypt provides plausible deniability - the capability to create a hidden encrypted volume within another encrypted volume, thereby allowing you to grant access to unimportant/dummy data when a password is asked for without the attacker knowing additional information even exists.
And a Slashdot user who works as a border guard would simply ask: "Then you don't mind if I temporarily fill up the remainder of your free space on this TrueCrypt volume with random data?" Because unless you explicitly acknowledge and protect the hidden volume (or mount the primary volume read-only) any data you write to the primary could easily overwrite all your hidden data.
The encrypted list of words inside the Tom-Skype software blocks the transmission of these words and records personal information about the customers who send the messages.
Don't tell me they're encrypting the text word-by-word.
There's a list of banned words inside the Skype software. That list of banned words is encrypted in order to prevent someone from arbitrarily modifying it through a hex editor, etc. When using Skype, you type something (obviously in plain text) into the Skype program. The Skype program then scans over the plain text you typed, compares it against its word list -- which is decrypted for the comparison -- and takes appropriate action.
This guy totally sounds like he knows what he's talking about, but I've been coding HTML for over a decade now and haven't ever come across a <quote> tag. Can I blame slashdot for this, too?
I bet in your decade of HTML coding, you've never come across [url] or [b] tags either, so it never occurred to you that Slashdot takes a <quote> tag and converts it into <div class="quote"> to display it to you.
I'm using the quote tags, but idle's CSS is totally screwed, so blame slashdot.
Note he said "blockquote" and not "quote".
Of course, but the problem with blockquote is that when you view collapsed comments it shows a preview of what you quoted. When you use the quote tags, it shows a preview of your text and skips the text you quoted. The "Quote Parent" button uses quote tags, not blockquote for this very reason. So for someone to tell someone else to "FUCKING LEARN TO QUOTE PROPERLY" and then give lousy advice is rather amusing.
There's nothing wrong with the way I quoted. Change the URL from idle.slashdot.org to just slashdot.org and the CSS will magically fix itself.
I wonder whether "identity theft" is not just an utterly brilliant public relations tactic used by the credit card companies to deflect responsibility away from themselves.
Well, you could still sue Facebook for defamation of character.
You've missed the point a bit, but for your edification change it to "Facebook's Top 10 Interesting Users" or some other non-defamatory subject. As long as no laws are violated, Slashdot's TOS allows them to package up your content in any way they see fit and sell it should they so choose. This would be an interesting project for Slashdot to undertake. They could sell your data [actually, because of the rights you've granted them, it's their data too] to third party sites and call it a "Beacon" program. I'm sure users would be happy about that.
It's not worth running a site without a ToS. Too many idiots.
Of course a TOS is necessary to protect the site owners. But as a comparison, even though you've granted Facebook the necessary rights to allow them to publish your content and still retain immunity from any liability, Facebook has the option to delete your account and all associated content.
Slashdot is one of the few sites that posts your public content but has no facility to delete it.
That's not draconian at all. Most sites that accept and display user-submitted content have something similar. They have to, because they are displaying that content. All of those rights are required to be able to display somebody else's content.
It's the perpetual and irrevocable part. Imagine if Facebook would keep everything you deleted and then after you closed your account, post it all back online, write a book called "Facebook's Top 10 Stupid Users", and highlight unflattering pictures of you on their homepage. That's all within the scope of you granting a "royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed".
With respect to text or data entered into and stored by publicly-accessible site features such as forums, comments and bug trackers ("SourceForge Public Content"), the submitting user retains ownership of such SourceForge Public Content; with respect to publicly-available statistical content which is generated by the site to monitor and display content activity, such content is owned by SourceForge. In each such case, the submitting user grants SourceForge the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, and display such Content (in whole or part) worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, all subject to the terms of any applicable license
Quite draconian -- if it were Microsoft, they'd likely get flamed for such a policy. I may have to reconsider posting some really great content and instead blog it given that Slashdot can profit unconditionally from my work.
But other than that, the other 44 states all demonstrate that voting Democratic does get you taxed to redistribute your wealth to the rest of the country - even when the redistributors are a Republican controlled Federal government.
If your assertions are true and that the simple act of voting Democrat gets you taxed to redistribute the wealth, can you show that swing states which vote Republican one election and Democrat another election have seen their tax redistribution adjusted accordingly?
While the data seems to correlate I'm not convinced that you've provided a solid case to explain the cause.

Not the least. If I knew everything, I would no longer have the joy of learning.
You've clearly not yet learned the joy of smugness.
But the cables or bus bars that connect to your car would create enough EMF to brick your cell phone.
If there's that much EMF, I'd be more worried about bricking my testicles.

There are prescription medications to help with that.

Ultimately you're right -- it is that simple. But as this is a community site focused around discussion I thought I'd attempt to do just that.

You should add <blockquote> tags </blockquote> to your quotes. It's very hard to tell what you are quoting and what you are saying without them.
Taco botched the CSS in idle. Let's compare, shall we?
My comment in the idle section -- very hard to read:
