The level of dumbness necessary to get even into to top 50 of dumbest posts on slashdot is on beyond kardashian level. I would not even dare to compile such a list. Even if it would not short circuit your brain away, you would roll up into a tight ball and hope someone could put you out of your miseries right now and forever.
As for pre printing age inter species contact you might want to read up on greek mythology. Zeus seems to have been rather creative when visiting the ladies (eg Leda).
As for the effect on illegal activities, everyone knows where to turn from the interstate to the unnamed 10 lanes highway that leads to Anything-Goes-Town.
when one person in the town breaks a law the whole town is removed from the gps.
Actually someone saying there is a guy breaking the law in this city can be enough for the whole town to be removed. The town will have to prove there is no illegal activity going on inside it's borders and making false claims would not be illegal or punishable.
Small towns would disappear first from the gps/maps then completely because no one could do business there anymore. Bigger towns would have to closely monitor their citizens seriously limit what people there could do. Otherwise they would risked being cleared from the map.
For larger parts (arms, legs) there should be enough room for a decent exchangeable lithium based battery pack. Add a USB plug for charging and you're ready to go. Ok the USB part was a joke, but the rest wouldn't be to hard to pull off.
Well at least rich people (or those living in countries where universal healthcare is considered a basic right) in could enjoy it.
There might even be a tv show like bionic makeover[tm]
Nothing says cool party ahead like an evacuation, a visit by the bomb squad and a FBI interview along the lines of "What kind of connection do you have with the sender? Do you have any idea why he might want to kill you?..."

We did have traditional handmade (by us) cards (the cardboard kind) and set up a protected (more or less) website following the design of the cards with extra information and feedback options. Many of the older folks never visited it, but it helped tremendously with questions like where to park, how to get to the church and restaurant, suggestions for presents, exchanging pictures and much more.
So what we need is a proper license/TOC/EULA for buying politicians. This should be available on their webpage and through their offices by request. It's been a common trend these years to update license terms quietly and usually not in favor of the customer, but still they have been published. How are we supposed to buy the proper congress people without knowing what our money will get us.
Maybe we should also tax bribes as income, as the nation seems to be a little short on cash lately.
Probably my own fault, but now I've got an image of "Jerry Springer in Space" in my mind that I can't get rid of.

I've notices that ten years ago before these types of programs became widespread, pretty much any page would render well on pretty much any browser or monitor. Now, I go to Yahoo News using FF on IE7 and the goddamned video window covers the text. I go to most sites with my phone and it won't render at all.
Fast and lazy produces junk that kinda sorta works sometimes under some circumstances. Write your code by hand and stick to standards, and it will render well anywhere. Whether or not to use a tool like Dreamweaver depends on whether or not you want quality, and whether or not you know how to code. And IMO if you don't know HTML and CSS you shouldn't be producing web pages in the first place.
That must have been a very different ten years ago from the ones I remember. You had to make at least two versions of the page and the scripts to go with it because otherwise it would just break. There was basically no f*cking way to guarantee how the page would look like in different browsers (or versions of those).
Really?
I use HTML toolkit for raw HTML editing but notepad++ is also good but he is not asking for that.
He wants a dreamweaver replacement. I would like one as well. Sometimes fast beats hand codeing everything. And you always have an option to put it in your editor and edit it.
Dreamweaver does have it's place in web page development though I would never use it without a good text editor (notepad++, editplus, emacs) to handle the fine tuning and script coding.
An opensource variant of it, like gimp is to photoshop or libreoffice is to ms office, would indeed be very helpful.
Slashdot Mirror
By far the dumbest post I've read on Slashdot.

Welcome our new robotic overlord
Wait until the birds version comes out.

I'm not sure if these pigs will make the birds less or even more angry

It's not a hook it's a "C" as in constitution. Anyway wasn't there something on the right to bear arms or something? What about legs?

Not sure if someone already mentioned this but the card that is a record player was one of the coolest things I seen so far.
Looks like "how many roads must a man walk down" was a traveling salesman problem and not some humanist statement
Of course nothing will happen. Since when do crooks convict themselves ?
They don't. But they do tend to convict each other in order to save their own butts.

Same as white trash, but green
"There is also the desire to keep space free of other nations military weaponry"
BOUAHAHAHA
Sorry, had to catch my breath from laughing
Fixed that for you
So where is your prior art now, you Apple haters? Sorry, couldn't resist.
The solution is already there and there
Though I might want to recommend using the gatling not on the front porch that often.
And let the heretics of the church of vi forever rot in the core dumps of hell! Amen
Sometimes fast beats hand codeing everything.
