Finally bought myself a cellphone, and with the 2GB card inside, I can do 3 hours of video easy. Granted, the resolution's crap, but if I slung it on a cord around my neck with the lens facing out, It would be practically painless to video huge chunks of my day.
Spend just a little more money, and you can do what I described easier and far longer. Personal surveillance will be in everybody's hands soon if they want it.
n case you hadn't noticed, there's a war of dynastic succession going on in the GOP. The Constitutionalists, Libertarian Minarchists, and a plethora of other freedom-loving people (mainly inspired by Ron Paul) are attempting to wrest the party from the death-grip of the neocon faction. It's just getting started, and it's already getting very ugly
Such a nice fantasy. Shame it'll never happen. When the Christian Right "rump" disengages and forms its own party, I'll believe you. Remember, they believe they've had thousands of years of persecution to harden their pragmatism.
If you are against helping people in other countries then I suggest you also should be against all the medical and food aid we provide to 3rd world countries whether related or unrelated to natural disasters (e.g. 2004 asian tsunami)
That's a silly argument. If aid money weren't a drop in the bucket compared to defense spending, you might have had a point.
Someone should convince ZZ Top to make a new programming language called LEGS. [ducks]
Well, if TFA is correct, the programming language created by two of the biggest beards in the world would create a paradigm shift so intense, the collateral damage would be astronomical!
Disabling virtual memory on Windows is doable but not foolproof. For starters, don't bother if you have at least 1GB of RAM (more is very preferable), and be ready for Windows to die on you once in a while with no warning. (I know, I know, what's new about that?
Stop trying to tell someone else how to live theirs.
LOL, you don't a lot of consulting, do you? Clients are children, they often have to be led everywhere by the hand.
I mean, you can try and be nice and diplomatic and waste oodles of time, but by the 5th time you've heard some asshat complain about the price of laserjets after you've just explained everything to him, you learn to save some time and just cut them off at the pass.
Surely there are enough retired officers and enough military historians to use as a counterpoint.
You're making the mistake of assuming that a counterpoint was wanted in the first place. Almost every single news organization in the western world is owned by a leviathan multinational. What makes you think they'd have any interest in counterpoints?
You've got it backwards. We're not pissed because they needed help, we're pissed because being a Jedi was initially presented as something almost anybody could do if they were willing to train long and hard, not as winners of some sort of microbiological lottery.
They've got one, stuffed full of goodies, such as "posting as AC", "sockpuppet accounts" and the ever popular "I whore half the time to be able to troll the other half".

That's because CoE is one of the least dogmatic major Christian faiths.
And unless you *also* have a degree in Chocolate Philosophy
I don't need a fancy-schmancy degree, I have the real world experience of having a sweet tooth the size of Alaska!
but I've yet to discover any of this mythical 'HD porn'.
Luddite. Try a torrent site or two.
but comparing it to an Ashton Kutcher show is just uncalled for.
I dunno. I think it's make a great show:
"Coming up on Thou Has Been Punk'd, we fool village know-it-all Moses into thinking God is speaking to him! Watch out, burning bush is in the hizzy!"
And, given the nature of Slashdot's nationality, I think that should be:
5/7 NEVAR FORGET. Now, let's go invade the Ladies' Home Journal forums.

You see, kids? This is why you don't automatically mod down AC posts. They usually win the thread.

Oh, alright, if you say so. Don't skip the pronoun next time, you lazy bastard!

Not me. Unless a client needs more than just a 'e-billboard' for his site, I still aim for sizes that will fit on a floppy disc.
Dude, you can't possibly be making the "it's popular therefore it's good argument"?!?
...And Justice For All (1988), it was all a downhill slide from there.
GP has it right. After
Best comment I've read in a long time. Thanks for the laugh.
Flash runs fine on my XO. It's easy to install it and use it instead of Gnash.
Screenshots, please. Although, you appear to be correct.
Holy crap, it looks like she raided Two-face's wardrobe!

Marketing. Those fuckers are worse than JoHos.
Since when is "loose morals" an illegal act?
Beats me, but it's obviously good enough for a flamebait mod!

I demand a Bill of Rights for Slashdot Trolls!

So what day of the month do they allow new memberships? How does one get an invitation?
*Rolls eyes* It's not at all hard to get in. The second time I tried them, they must have just done a purge, because I signed up there and then.
I'm assuming their resurrection will engender a lot of traffic. Give it a couple of weeks and you'll probably be able to register just fine.
