What is seen: A driver turns in a clunker, buys a new-to-them car that hopefully runs better and cleaner, and eventually somewhere up the line a new car is purchased.
What is NOT seen: The taxpayer who could have bought a TV, a stereo, dinner, groceries, a down payment on a new car, or $4000 worth of anything else with their own money, and without the overhead costs of Uncle Sam redistributing the $4000.
This is a giant sham. Tax revenues are down because the economy is down, yet Congress is spending as much as ever and proposing more. We can't even fund the stupid digital converter program! How are we going to fund this? We don't need another bailout...we need the government to let the market correct before they screw it up any more.
I kind of agree. Who determines what is and isn't "true" or "trustworthy"? What happens if you get a Digg-style crowd who buries stuff just because they don't like it or disagree with it? I don't want to my browsing to be based on someone else's ideals.
Seriously, if you've spent a significant amount of time there, what else would you expect from Fark? There was a thread yesterday about a missing woman. Someone posted pictures of her. The rest of the thread was a debate over who would or wouldn't hit it.
And in keeping with the spirit of THIS thread, you don't smell.
You can use google docs to store your files pass US customs and download them again quickly and easily once you have passed customs. Awesome! Can you please post instructions for how to do this using drugs instead of files? Dude, forget customs. I get email all the time telling me how to get drugs cheap. I could forward it to you if you like...
But isn't this whole story about that - ALL the things that make any project successful?

No.
I'm starting to see the "What about Opera?" comments as a new meme, akin to "But does it run Linux?" If you're happy using Opera, great. Have fun. But Opera missed the boat and no one else cares.;)
When Victory Baptist School, a small private school in Millbrook, Ala., was struggling to keep its computer network together last year, an 11-year-old student named Jon Penn stepped in as network manager. Goes to show that if you can't afford a real IT guy, there might be a student who will do it for free. I didn't see anything in there about his parents getting a tuition break, Jon getting lunches...no kind of compensation was mentioned at all. And don't tell me "Well, he's getting experience..." He is, but I think the school is getting much more out of the deal.
Having said that, I do understand that private schools sometimes struggle to make ends meet, especially on the IT side of things. But this situation still bothers me a bit.
My bet is this is going to really REALLY negatively affect all of those mailservers that have been setup, for which there is *no* administrator. You know. the ones setup for smaller companies who have no inhouse admin, who hired a consultant, but wouldn't pay for ongoing maintenance (either due to tightness or actual lack of funds, etc). The response time here, and time to resolution is likely to be high to non-existent. EXACTLY. I had a couple of messages dropped today. Fortunately, a customer called to verify that we had received a message and I caught the problem almost immediately. If I had taken the day off, or if, as you said, I had put a similar setup in for someone else, no telling how many messages could have been dropped.
I use OpenDNS at home and work...at work, I've got the typo correction turned off. I don't get OpenDNS search results or redirects. At home, however, I use the content filters, which requires typo correction. Sometimes it sucks, but it is ENTIRELY OPTIONAL.
I just watched Blazing Saddles this weekend. I laughed, but no one forced me to. I didn't see any reference to being stick-in-the-mud for not laughing at the racial humor in that movie, but I did see two black people in the mud (along with a hand cart)...pretty funny scene, actually.:) Folks around here need to lighten up.

It's like opting in to unprotected anal sex in the back of a voltswagen, then freaking out at the small back seat size when in post-coital cuddling?
Now we're getting somewhere.
You have officially won the "semantics of the year" award!!
Won? It's only January! This is a contender at best. At least wait till we get a few good car analogy threads before we start handing out awards.
...don't want to start bleeding all over the seats.
Great.
They are giving Slashdot accounts to Palstinians now.
Shooting rockets at everything is your solution to everything isn't it?
If fans of Frederic Bastiat are considered to be "Palstinians" [sic], then yes, they are.

This is better than C-span! We don't have to work around their schedule...they can lie to us on demand!
This will free up my DVR...
Seems like a very subjective opinion, and no "proof" as such.
Subjectivism, on my Slashdot? It's more likely than you think.
I'm more impressed with links to the official, authorized versions of Python clips. They're more...pingy?
Worst idea ever.

The moderators really are inconsistent on that site. Some are just useless, some are assholes, rarely do they do anything useful

No one on /. wants to hear that...you'll spoil a perfectly good bashing!
