During our interview, Scott Miller has mentioned that the company is "working within the industry to organize a better, more focused, trade show", the original date of the new event was set to fall 2007. However due to some changes the event was postponed to at least late 2008. "Our design phase has gone well, but we are having some difficulties with the new layout. For now, there is no date, it will be done when it's done."
Mod parent down, preferably Troll. Of all posts up to this (parent one), PHP is only mentioned once in what one might say a negative way (it asks about a PHP security book, doesn't directly imply anything about php). The only post about bush says something like "slashdot sucks with all the ani-bush articles".
Being convicted for this would be completely asinine, but "just arrested" doesn't make much better. Having cops intimidate and arrest people would be enough to scare most from doing whatever they were doing. Do you think people would be willing to get arrested every time they see the police doing something? I don't think so, most would just turn away and "forget" about ever seeing anything.
Whatever you think about the major oil companies, they aren't stupid. Of course now they're saying "this won't work" to any alternative (and they're mostly right), because there's enough oil for now. However, they are doing quite a bit of research into both other oil sources, such as shales or tar sands, and other alternatives, like solar or hydrogen.
Sorry about that, as the others already said, the server checks the referrer. I have referrer logging disabled in Opera so it didn't happen to me. Here it is rehosted on imageshack
My original comment was, of course, a joke. I got a 320GB disk also about 6 month ago (don't remember exactly, but it was still very cold*), free space now: 4.5GB, and that's only because I just burned a DVD full of TV shows. So, the overall situation is: #. CAPC FREE 1. 80GB 1.5G - The disk I got when building the system. Divided into a system and games partition. 2. 160G 100M - Photos, a few installed games, game images, videos, music 3. 320G 4.5G - Game images, videos (tv/movies), music
Each of the disks were bought when they provided the best price per GB. I really don't know where some of the space is disappearing, especially on the system partition. I had about 1GB of space on it a few month ago, and it's all gone, without me installing anything significant (just a few 5mb apps). Just a while ago, when I was playing Prey, I had 400M, now - 150M. And no, I'm not storing my porn on this partition, it's together with other videos on the 320GB drive.
...not necessary when you know what you're doing. I set up both my dad's laptop and my mom's desktop (and laptop, but she almost never uses it) and I had no problems with either of the systems. They both have limited accounts, use Opera, and have an anti-virus running (NOD32) as well as auto-update enabled. My dad spent a good part of the last year away, so I haven't touched it in that long, and the only problem he asked me about was to get rid of the WGA shit, which I did through VNC. The computer my mom uses is my old PC, still with the original XP install from around 2002, dad's is about 2-2.5 years.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's possible in your case, after all, you can make everything idiot-proof, but someone will make a better idiot (don't take this personally)
Holy shit! No wonder the Pentagra^H^Hon is worried, after all, rock music is the tool of the devil, and we can't have that!
Not having a clear policy doesn't make it any better, and probably worse. There's a line, and if you cross it, you're fucked. But we're not telling you where the line is. The pentagon has certainly learned a lot from FCC, probably thanks to the initiative to bring all government agencies closer together, or something.
Not much hope here, I'm afraid. Why not try canine psychology, instead?
Honestly though, I don't know. I'm actually in a similar position: I'm a year away from a non-CS degree, but I'd like my future work to be computer-related. I doubt tech support is something you're exited about, I myself certainly am not. I think it would be possible to get a job as an entry level programmer (I have experience in several languages, dunno about you), but getting beyond the code monkey status won't be easy.
What did you pull out the "misery levels to the highest they have ever been" thing from? It might be true, but I'll never know just from reading your post.
That's ok. Apparently this week is the "mod mobby_6kl -1 Troll" week. There are a bunch of posts in my comment history modded -1 Troll +1 Funny. The whole thing was probably started when I suggested that probably the current versions of GPL has "bugs" in them, that one got modded Troll instantly.
Oh come on. Apple bundles all their shit, including speech recognition, with MacOS. And don't try this bullshit about how they're not a monopoly: they are, on apple hardware. Even the commercial Linux distributions often come with several DVDs full of useless shit (no SR, but that's because the OS movement can't produce a solution).
Professional testers are still being paid to provide their valuable input. The main reason MS started charging for the Office beta is to get rid of all the wankers who'll download it just to show their friends how cool they are, and MS certainly won't be missing those types.
I spent the whole yesterday refreshing the slashdot frontpage, and somehow managed to miss the story!
Anyway, this technique reminded me (yes I know they're very different) of airpwn, a piece of code which sniffs out the images and replaces them with the ones you specify, the authors had some fun at defcon 12

Never say never!
I don't think they'll lose any sleep over you
Use an external antenna. A lot of phones still have connectors for those, so no hacks required there.

> the price is not going to be cheaper with out federal subsidies to artificially lower it
Just eliminating the import tariffs would be enough to make ethanol much more acceptable as a substitute.

*- no, I'm not in Alaska
I'll never use up so much space!

Yes, I think it would coincide with the year of the Linux desktop
FreeBSD wins so far with this
