You've got that backwards. First-class postage subsidizes bulk mailing; that's why, in part, that bulk mail costs a fraction of what 1st class mail costs.
Not according to what I've read, although I can't locate a cite at the moment. One of the reasons it costs less, BTW, is that much of the Post Office's work has to be done ahead of time, such as sorting out the mailing by zip code. However, just to pick a nit, if bulk mail cost.9944 the cost of first class postage, it would still "cost a fraction of what 1st class mail costs."
I find it interesting that the only program named in this form is also (probably) the world's most popular email program. How much of this is because it's as full of security holes as the rest of Windows and how much is because it is, in fact, so popular. Granted, if everybody switched to (let's say) Thunderbird, the Black Hats would start hunting down and exploiting Thunderbird vulnerabilities, but my personal opinion is that they'd find them few, far between and rapidly patched.
Not only that, they have to pay to have the material designed, printed and mailed so it's not exactly free for them as it is with spam. Not only that, but even though they're using the bulk mail rate, all that junk mail stuffing your mail box each day is helping subsidize the cost of first class postage. In the case of spam, the spammers are being subsidized by the rest of us which is what makes it so bad.
So do I. I also have * addressing as a catch-all. When I have to provide an email address to register at a dubious site, I make one up that tells me something about where I used it; e.g., to sign up at example.com, it might be examplejunk@mydomain.com. That way, if I ever get anything sent to that email address and not clearly from example.com, I know exactly who sold my email address, and can add a filter deleting everything sent to that address. It hasn't happened, yet, but maybe I've just been lucky.
Or nuclear detonations far enough away to not shatter the asteroid...
Or, a series of detonations, with enough time separation that they hit different parts of the asteroid. The nice thing about it is, if you have enough lead time, you don't need to make that much of a change. As an example, let's say that we spot an asteroid that's predicted to impact on the equator at local noon. (Direct central impact.) Now, let's also say that we can hit it with enough nukes to shift it to one side by 1 mph, while it's over two years away. (Lots of luck with that, but let's pretend.) 1 mph doesn't sound like much, but in two years, it will add up to over 8,000 miles, more than enough to miss. Yes, I'm simplifying the hell out of this, but it think the principle involved is clear.
that ballot box ends up at the bottom of San Francisco Bay.
Unless you fill it with rocks or bricks, that's just not going to happen. Why? Because ballot boxes are made to be able to float, even when filled with water, to prevent exactly that.
What you're saying is, "My PDA doesn't drift, therefore none of them do." False. One counterexample proves nothing except that not all screens drift, which nobody is denying.
All this means is that a one star rating means "nobody cared enough to rate it." What I don't understand is why anybody thought this story worth posting to Slashdot, or how it got accepted.
somehow the supreme court gained the ability to elect presidents.
Actually, what happened is that Al Gore tried, repeatedly, to change the rules about how the votes were to be counted after the election was over. This is against Federal Law, but SCOFLA was willing to ignore it. SCOTUS, OTOH, upheld the law, sometimes by 7-2 majorities and once, 9-0. In other words, SCOTUS voted to follow the laws as written, instead of letting a candidate run roughshod over them in an attempt to change the results. Note, please, that those 7-2 majorities and that 9-0 meant that those Justices who were Democrats agreed that what Al Gore was trying to do was wrong.
It's a shame he had to die that way, burning to death must be horrible. I can also understand why there's going to be such a delay in fixing the TCP/IP issue: nobody ever plans for a developer being caught in a fire. Now, if he'd only managed to get hit by a bus, everything would have been OK, because everybody plans for that.
What theories do you have about why Microsoft allowed the failure to happen?
Judging by some of Microsoft's recent bad moves, such as the bewildering array of Vista versions, re-working of the Office UI for Office 2007, the enormous bloat they added to it and so on, I'm beginning to believe that the programmers and developers no longer control development. It's beginning to look like MS is being controlled by marketdroids who not only have no clue what their customers want, they have no desire to gain one. It's a shame, really, they used to be able to produce good products that people actually wanted.
Never mind the county corruption, the Phoenix DA employes a psychic, and allows her dreams to influence his investigations. Not only that, he's expecting to get re-elected even though this has been made abundantly public.
But the court itself, as well as the prosecutor and the police, are required to act under that presumption. I might add, BTW, that if you or I were on the jury, we'd be expected to keep an open mind and not come to an un-alterable conclusion until we're in the jury room deliberating. That's part of why the standard required in a criminal case is, "beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty." The jury must start out presuming that the accused is not guilty, and not vote otherwise unless they're certain that he did it.
If you know any cops, or people who work in your local justice system, they'll tell you that there are many people walking the streets right now that they know are guilty of major felonies, but can't be prosecuted because there's not enough evidence to prove it to a jury. Bringing this back on-topic a tad, I suspect that this search and seizure in Phoenix is a fishing expedition that went too far, and quite possibly beyond the bounds of the warrant authorizing their actions.
Only on slashdot with a bunch of paranoid 12 year olds would the first reaction to be that he was completely innocent and the cops were wrong.
Actually, no, or at least, I hope not. In case you haven't noticed, this took place in the USA, where people are by law presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
You may not like 1and1, but I've had very good luck with them, as have a number of people I know. I don't care how good something is, you'll always find people who don't like it, had a bad experience, or have unreasonable expectations.
Just saying, "which Linux is it," doesn't imply the kernel, at least not to me, and I've been using Linux for years as a dual boot, and as my primary OS for over a year now.
The name of TFA is "First Look at Fedora 11 Beta," and the first quoted words in the summary are, "Fedora 11." If that doesn't tell you what version of Linux is involved, you don't belong here.
And my point is that, in my personal experience, most people who hate Fox News are unwilling to admit their own bias, but that there are exceptions. I have two good friends who are very liberal in their politics. One happily points out his own bias the other denies that it exists. Most of the people I'm acquainted with who don't like Fox News tend toward the denier side, while insisting that the liberal stations are objective. I won't say that you can't hate Fox News without that blind spot about liberal reporting, but in my personal experience, not having it is rare.
You'd only gt that black-on-black view if you were falling into a black hole in a ship specially decorated for Hotblack Desiato. Come to think of it, that would be highly appropriate under the circumstances.
Slashdot Mirror
Of course, of course, I was just simplifying to illustrate the basic point. It's kind of like the canonical "spherical cow of uniform density."
Not so. They have to take out the taps, take out the bar and put in a kitchen. It's the last part, mostly, that'd cost too much.

If the OP wanted to know which kernel Fedora 11 comes with, he should have asked. He asked "what Linux is it," and that's the question I answered.
