Do we have to legalize everything because "people will be safer when they do it anyway".
Why should they not be allowed to do it? Why is an unborn life valued? How can the government intervene because of a religious argument? Please seperate the church and state. We don't need any more children being born, this world is crowded enough as it is.
Why do we have to punish the baby because we "didn't plan for it".
Punish the baby? How is the baby punished? The baby doesn't have to be born into this awful life. It doesn't have to be born into having parents that never wanted it. Aborted babies are LUCKY. They are being rewarded, not punished.
See, women do have control over their own bodies-- they can choose to not have sex. Abortion as a method of birth control is murder. Abortion for rape/incest victims or those where the life of the mother is threatened, that's fine. But just getting abortions because "Oops, hehe, I got pregnant again!", that's BS.
Abortion is as much murder as killing an animal for food is. Last time I checked, killing animals for food is legal.
I say keep abortion legal. While we are at it, lets legalize assisted suicide too. Life is a choice.
Despite all the people who think iTunes is the best player.. Winamp 5 really is a great player and is the best of the media library based players. It's interface, especially the media library, make it extremely useful for the power user. iTunes is overrated in my opinion; its interface is too simple and doesn't give you the same kind of power that Winamp 5 does.
I really hope that Winamp 5 continues to progress or (ideally) gets open-sourced. Or hopefully some media player out there emerges that is better than Winamp 5 (hasn't happened yet).

1. Regularly change WEP keys? 2. Use a proxy server to access internet, and disable direct access via access point? 3. Turn off router and computers when you're not using them?
All good ideas.. A bit of extra work, but worth it if you really need to be secure. It's also important that someone on your WLAN can't access anything on your regular LAN, so be sure to setup a firewall that prevents this. Probably what I would do is setup either a web proxy over SSH or a VPN. But someone on the WLAN can only access the SSH port or the VPN port. Also, throw in some MAC address checking for extra measure.
Everything can be exploited if someone is determined enough, but the point is to make it as difficult as possible.
I see that on resumes all the time. So I put them in front of a white board and ask them to show me the code to add an item to a singly linked list, using the language of their choice. 1 out of 15 pass. It's pathetic. Can you pass this test? Post a link to your resume, we are hiring in the East Bay, California. C#.
You want a C# programmer that remembers how to do linked-list operations? Why? Good luck sorting through all the Microsoft monkey-boys, especially if you're one of them yourself.
Yahoo seems to be trying very hard to be Google these days. Their new web page reminds me of G-mail. And their search engine looks nearly identical to that of Google.
The ability to make the browser popup ALT attributes for images?
Mozilla/Firefox is standards compliant and you won't ever see this happening without using an extension. IE's behavior which you have gotten used to is simply incorrect. Web designers should be instead using the TITLE attribute.
77 is horrible if you're wearing a T-Shirt, a dress-shirt, and a tie. Keep it at 70 or lower. If people are cold, too bad: they can wear more clothes. People who always bitch about it being "too cold" and try to get the temp increased are one of my big pet peeves. My dorm rooms were always scorching, even in the winter. Damn Temperature Fascists.
Lose some weight, fatty.
When I lived in a dorms, my roommate was a polar bear like yourself who kept the AC as low as it would go year round! Even in the winter when the central heat kicked on and we were all cold and shit, he'd kick that thing on. Crazy.
If you're wearing t-shirt, dress-shirt, and a tie, 75 should be fine. If it isn't, you need to shed some of that fat, tubby.
Would it be too much to tell us what Hibernate acutally is/does?
Have all you people asking this been living under a rock??!?? It's an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool for Java. Would it kill you to actually click a link?
There's a comparison to be made to the open source community. Why is open source software better? Because when you have thousands or millions of eyes looking at something you'll find more errors and have a better quality product in the end.
Not only the many eyes, but the many hands. Open source software has more potential for technical progress because it expands the possibility of who can contribute or make modifications (depends on license).
You obviously never had the "pleasure" of using DB2 8.x. All of its GUI administration tools (needed for things like monitoring of the database status by non-gearheads) are Java monstrosities.
Oracle has the same problem with its Java-based installer and some of the other tools.
But in any case, that's not Java fault someone wrote a shitty app using the wrong tool for the job. There's shitty apps written in all languages.
right on, bro. if you got a good store in your town, it is much better than an online store. instant gratification is one bonus. used CD's at lower prices is another. and of course, that hot punk chick that works there that has the same taste in music as me:)
What's with the gigantic fischer-price GUIs? are enterprise people attracted to that sort of thing?
As another poster has mentioned, trying running in 1600x1200. In any case, for GTK+ you can change the size which affects all the widgets, effectively scaling the GUI.
I would hope that IS common Slashdot opinion, because Gaim for Windows really does suck. I mostly blame the GTK+ port for that. I would like to see the seperation of core and GUI to fully happen and would like to a see a native Windows GUI written using the Gaim core.

What gets me is the blatant rip off of Google's UI. This coming from Microsoft - the trademark happy lawsuit company.
If you think Microsoft search is a rip-off of Google, you have not seen Yahoo's search. Microsoft's search looks original in comparison.

But what does Dell stand to gain?
Decrease in support costs.

They are always offering up these candidates that nobody really wants (Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry).
As opposed to the Republican party which also offers up candidates no one really wants?

Not necessarilly a bad thing, though.

So true... Typical Slashdot spinning a story incorrectly. RTFA and you'll find the NFL thing won't affect the majority of Tivo users.
would love to see a Google-branded Firefox. That would mean more people using Firefox and less IE users.

Heh, I'm confident about it
A little too confident considering your blog no longer loads. Although, yeah, that is just a Slashdotting and not a trolling.
Posting a link to your blog in a Slashdot article while saying you figured out how to avoid being trolled = you get trolled like a motherfucker.
The Mozilla guys should patent "tabbed browsing", allowing royalty free use in any browser who requests it. With one exception, of course (IE)...
ummm.. yeah.. nevermind that OPERA HAD IT FIRST

Anybody else here use Trillian? Besides the fact that it doesn't run on Linux and there's a pay version, how would you guys compare it to GAIM?
Trillian is a giant turd compared to Gaim for Linux. But unfortunately, Gaim for Windows is not so hot because of the sucky GTK+ port.
sweet.. Firefox now has the master password feature. Now I can switch back to Firefox from Mozilla.
