...it's an English paper written by a 10th grader! And apparently, SiliconUser doesn't employ editors, they just reprint submissions from users. Here are some examples from the "article", not including the terrible opening sentence that appears in the summary and the "115m" joke you've already seen 115 times:
"The compact disc first surfaced the public eye's scope..." WTF??
"The sales and production of LPs began to suffer in the 1988..."
"With the work of Sony and many others, the CD finally an industry standard..."
""Sony" and its logo is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation."
Things like this, coupled with numerous paragraphs that struggle (and fail) to stay on topic made me wonder how this made the front page at slashdot. Ick! Do slashdot's editors moonlight at SiliconUser (or vice versa)?;)
Since you didn't reply to any specific comment, how are we gullible slashdot readers supposed to know which comments about Fark are full of crap and which actually reflect reality? Will you be pointing those out for us and making corrections or are you just here to mention where you work and cast aspersions on everyone's intelligence (slashdot posters AND readers)?
Assuming it is a windows environment, use policy/login scripts to update the hosts file on the client to map the myspace domains to yahoo, or something else harmless.
Then the user just types the IP address into the browser's address bar. Thanks for playing!
The SSN used to be the default lic# years ago, but hasn't been for quite some time. If you still have an old one that uses your SSN, you can even switch to a non-SSN one online (https://servicearizona.com), for the same fee as requesting a replacement.
Sounds neat, so long as it defaults to off. I doubt the Opera user demographic is particularly succeptible to phishing, though it would be useful if you're installing it for grandma.
That will work great, assuming everybody pays their own tuition. Because if anybody wants any Title IV aid (grants, student loans, etc.), pretty much the first entry that has to be submitted on every form required by, and every record transmitted to and from the government is...wait for it... the SSN. Anybody got an Act of Congress handy?:)
To me, the scary part isn't that the Pentagon wants to aggressively market to potential recruits, it's that all this data is already compiled and available on these kids, ready to purchase. A great many of them are still minors. Do schools sell this information? How did the marketing company/ies get all of it? It seems the moment you're born you're in the database... Yuk.
They probably require more maintenance than concrete. There were some stretches they had to redo because it didn't "stick" the first time & large patches just disintegrated.
From the Tao of Programming (http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tao-of-programmi ng.html):
A manager went to the master programmer and showed him the requirements document for a new application. The manager asked the master: ``How long will it take to design this system if I assign five programmers to it?''
``It will take one year,'' said the master promptly.
``But we need this system immediately or even sooner! How long will it take if I assign ten programmers to it?''
The master programmer frowned. ``In that case, it will take two years.''
``And what if I assign a hundred programmers to it?''
The master programmer shrugged. ``Then the design will never be completed,'' he said.
When you're raking in that much cash, why go public and turn over control of your company to shareholders? If you just want cash, sell the whole company.
I deleted a temp folder I thought wasn't in use. It turns out it was the temporary holding folder for the nightly autodial xmit/receive to a couple hundred clients. Also, my software (yeah, the software was my fault, too) didn't throw a catastrophic error when it couldn't find the file, so the incoming file from every client went *POOF*. Spent the next whole day calling clients, helping them restore the pre-transmission backups & resending the data. That was a LONG day! The next day I modified the software to check for stuff like that and stop everything if all wasn't right. Live and learn!
I have a folder for each client company. Each one has a subfolder called "finished" and one called "reference". Items in the reference folder never expire, items in the finished folder get archived after a year. Items in the base folder require my attention. I usuallly strip (big) attachments before moving items to the finished folder. I'll send myself mail if there's something I need to add to my "todo list". The inbox is the "everything else" that requires attention folder, and I use my Palm datebook to remind me of future/recurring things like birthdays and such.

I got skooled!
Hmm... sounds like there may have been a joke in there I didn't get (maybe because I don't read Fark?). Oh well... it wouldn't be the first time :)

What, no PostgreSQL elephant/mammoth? Not lame enough, perhaps, since the meme of "elephants never forget" for a database seems to make sense.
It only takes one guy to say "Hey guys, my son told me to type this instead!"
I don't know how you write your sites, but I try to use relative links wherever possible (e.g. "./foo/index.html" vs. "www.mysite.com/foo/index.html")

After conversion to metric by NASA, that's 1 meter.
Games aren't the problem. The blame for this lands squarely at the feet of Judas Priest. Dee Snyder's probably involved, too.

According to my website's logs, just shy of 8% of the visitors running Windows are using 9x/ME.

Damn straight. Here in AZ, daylight *kills*.

CrypBox is really handy if you have a Palm device - you can carry your password database with you AND have access to it on the desktop.

They are putting rubberized asphalt all over the freeways in and around Phoenix. The main reason is for noise reduction.
Not to be confused with the METRO2 (and older Metro (1)) credit reporting formats used by the US consumer data industry (credit bureaus):
