Online Texas Hold 'em is the ONLY way to become a professional gamer.
Why doesn't the Slashdot crowd consider this to be "gaming"? It has all the elements of a great game AND you win money. Isn't that what this article is all about?
It always bugged me that Evolution was not available for Windows. I'd be more than happy to ditch Outlook, but a good alternative does not exist. The Mozilla family is not a good alternative.
I hope that this means we'll see Evolution and others ported to Windows in the near future.
I seem to recall a story from the western U.S. where the city instituted rigid conservation controls. The result was that they were successful.
Well, sort of. The subsequent drop in water usage also resulted in a drop in water revenue and sewer revenue (water usage was metered). The city ended up losing so much money due to not keeping up with fixed costs, that they tossed the measures out the window. They needed the money more than the conservation.
Desalination on a large scale is absolutely necessary for humanity's survival over the next 100 years.
Come on. Who reads that way. We read by browsing, skimming, skipping. We do our own keyword search in our heads and skip the all-to-common fluff and bad writing that's crammed into Web pages.
For a 6 year-old, this might work. But they are missing some key points on how Web pages are consumed in the real world.
They also plan to put one in John Kerry's head to figure out where he is at. At this time, nobody seems to be able to figure out where he is on any issue. With this device, we'll be able to track him in real time as he flip-flops his way through the polls.
The trees that have been in cold water the longest make some of the best wood in the world. Apparently, these was/is an effort to get some sunken wood from the bottom of Lake Superior that went down with logging ships long ago.
Great idea. Hope it's not one of the ugly big corporations that Michael hates so much that is doing it. And for god's sake, let's hope nobody actually makes an EVIL profit off of it. Right, Michael?
To what extent is the price difference attributable to the VAT as opposed to the low dollar?
Seems that tech always costs more in Europe due to VAT issues.
Here in the states, you are supposed to pay the tax for items you buy from other states (pay your state tax, even though the purchase was made out of state. While most people don't actually do this, I was curious as to the laws involved when you purchase internationally. If you buy from the US, do you owe the UK VAT tax if you reside there and use it there?
So what. Anyone can get a normal return on their money in bonds and cash instruments. The profit that you attribute to interest is meaningless and provides zero incentive for a person to buy stock in the company.
A company must make MORE than a normal return to provide incentive to buy its stock.
Isn't Apple/Jobs smart enough to find better ways to invest their money than letting it sit in a pile of cash? This is the crux of Apple's problem. Lack of innovation/creativity, believe it or not. They don't have the vision to create/innovate even when given an almost unlimited amount of cash.
Watches are jewelry, you techno-elitist snob. That's why people don't "upgrade".
What next. I should get my wife cubic zirconium because it looks the same as a diamond but is much cheaper because it was made with "technology". I'm just soooo old fashioned.
What's the difference?

If this turns out to be true, then Yahoo! is a bunch of scumbags.
However, given the nature of recent Slashdot stories, my skeptic-radar is on high alert (Alert Level Orange for you youngsters out there).
That means that they got....let's see....carry the one...
135Mb of data through before the battery ran out.
Pretty good.
I'm married, you insensitive clod!
I do this all the time. My most "profitable" is probably getting my taxes done for a fraction of the cost while I assist with their computer issues.
Free lunches are the most common.
Personal, um, favors, um, have been offered to me, but declined.

Motorola Canopy (wireless) can fit the bill for the Internet part. Very fast set up. High speed. Relatively cheap. Good coverage.
Don't dig. You'll probably hit a gas line anyway.

Then economics and common sense indicate that your provider should get a new provider.
Or you should get a new provider if that option is available.
Isn't that how this whole thing is SUPPOSED to work? You are getting annoyed at the wrong people.

Can someone say "unhealthy obsession"?
Fanaticism? Jealousy? Envy? Mod me to -1 and take my pain away.

I don't see any empirical results. Have any experiments that he's done been reproduced? What are his methodologies.
Sounds like junk-science to me. The guy has a hypothesis. That's about it.
Here's my hypothesis: "Music sounds good. Noise sounds bad." Can someone write up an article on my thoughts? TIA.

Didn't the Soviet built lunar rovers go much further in a single day back in the early 70's? What sort of over-hyped/overly-specific record is this?
"And the award for longest roving in the past 3 weeks on a neighboring planet by an American robot who's name rhymes with 'kirit' goes to...."
I demand a recount!
Where can I download the patch?
I hate it when they don't supply a link to the patch in the story.
Are there mirrors? A torrent?
I was planning on using the tanning bed today, so I want to make sure my grid is all patched up before that. TIA!

Anyone? Bueller?
If they posted a slashdot story for every joke made about SCO, well, something!!
Anyway, I'll submit my 50 SCO jokes as stories. I didn't know there was such a shortage.
