> Umm there are a lot of armed canadians. A lot of
The overwhelming majority of armed Canadians are hunters. The laws are relatively lax when it comes to long guns. Also let's not forget that handguns are restricted firearms, and that you have to pass two exams and get a permit in order to possess one. Then you have to get a permit to be able to transport the firearm. It is also more or less impossible for a civilian to legally carry a concealed weapon in Canada. So guess what, your argument doesn't wash. HAND.
Oh yeah, I forgot. That's why all of us Canadians are constantly getting shot, killed, and robbed.
There was a song made by the Arrogant Worms, about guns, and they had a great line in it: "No one would get shot, if everyone had a gun!" Putting your argument that way just makes it seem laughable.
I have known 40 year old women to laugh at farts. Is that good enough?
I think you have it backwards anyhow, as most people stop being so damned stuck up as they get older.
Sense of humor is highly cultural anyhow, and your generalizations about womens' senses of humor betrays your lack of worldliness and life experience. Maybe you should be saying that the average north american tramp has a humor deficiency instead of generalising it across our race.
The guy was just giving us an anecdote. Geez. On top of that, I can tell you right now that it wasn't the 'light photons of the traffic light' that were affecting the radio. I mean, when you shine a flashlight on your radio do you get noise? No. Radio waves are FAR removed from visible light on the EM spectrum. What WAS going on was an example of a correlation, and not a cause. The hum on the radio reliably predicted the state of the light. There was most definitely some other electromagnetic phenomenon going on that was correlated with the light changing. That's all.
As far as the anecdote goes, I thought it was neat. 'Nuff said.
Publicity also tends to be expensive... the slashdot effect certainly generates a lot of that, too.
The funny part is that traditionally people pay to reach their audience, but on the internet, you pay when your audience reaches you. I guess this is one case where the Soviet Russia type inversion actually produces the correct answer. Maybe the internet *is* just like Soviet Russia?
He is the only one who understands the fact that tarpit attacks spam at any point in its propagation. At some point the spammer has to let a relay do its thing, and if the relay doesn't have the tarpit, then its quite possible that somewhere down the chain another relay does. See? See how it works?
It's viral. Once a mailserver notices that alot of its mail isn't going through, they may take notice, and then once they find out why their mail isn't going through, they'll of course want to install the tarpit themselves to ensure that their mail goes through. The tarpit continues to propagate upstream to the spammer until he can barely send spam. It's brilliant.
Thanks, but I like RedHat, I've always used RedHat, and I see no reason to change for one package. Isn't open source about choice, and not being locked in?
Eye of the Beholder.. good game, but I don't know why you would pick that as an example. That was an extremely frustrating game. It took me 10 years of on and off (more off than on) playing to beat it.
No, that is wrong. What matters is energy DENSITY (physicists call it intensity, Watts/m^2) not net energy. In other words, California may have a higher intensity of sunlight, but there's no fucking way it receives more net Wattage (or energy for that matter) than all of Canada. I won't even comment on the climate part though, please try and think about what you were saying next time.
I am afraid to inform you that you are mistaken if not in your logic, but in your assumptions. Look at the crowd you are dealing with. Most Slashdotters have no experience with any "box", let alone black box, asian box, girl-next-door box, etc. They do not have the capacity to code for that situation! If one should ever be within any tangible measure of acquiring some box, they would probably have to be defibrillated first, and THEN acquire this 'experience' that you (crudely) refer to.

Proudly ignoring trolls since 05/03!
Proudly ignoring trolls since tomorrow?
No no no, you've got it all wrong. What he was getting at by analogy was that we should be taking these deranged computers off the streets!

If you're a physicist you just call it acceleration. The acceleration/deceleration paradigm is SO one dimensional.
Sounds to me like Eminem is just Elvis all over again.

The headline should read "Yamaha to Eject From CD-R/RW Business".

At the very least, delete your games and delete your browser. Tune out. Tune into reality.
Sadly, the reviewer could only get his hands on a somewhat tarnished, 'Engrish' version. As such, I wouldn't put too much stock in review.
