Hey, you aren't so dumb after all. But, then again, you can't see me, so you are able to reply using your full intellect. How manly IQ points does a typical man lose in the presence of an attractive female anyway?
Clinton did pot but famously and publicly stated that he "never inhaled". So that's his line, give him credit.
Then there's the double negative thing, if you straighten it out, Obama is the only president who admitted to inhaling when he smoked.
Old people are wise. Users with low UIDs have been slashdotting in mom's basement for decades. So they are very wise, as smart as the rest of us, but even more so.
No, you don't have to build anything. You just get 35 multiple guess questions concerning regulations and extremely basic electronics. There are practice tests at QRZ.com. That's are I did for preparation, and I probably could have done without.
Brave Little Toaster, I liked that movie
About the coast, it's gone with the Dinasaur. And they've dumbed down the entry level Technician license, so that a EE can pass with flying colors without studying. So, give it a try, you can still do Morse Code if that's your thing, but you aren't tested on it. Plenty of new modes keep getting created all the time, a lotta crazy new fangled computer stuff.
I have a normal nose with none of those problems, except I do get boogers, which aren't a problem since they are fun to pick. Was your nose broken once upon a time perhaps? You'd think a nose like yours would have devolved itself generations ago.
I figured that back in the good old days, most slashdot posters were engineers, computer scientists, and other smart people. Nowadays, every newbie with a Associate degree in IT (or less) thinks he belongs here. Once upon a time, professional technologists were smart.
that's why you have a home depot across the street. It might not have individual resisters and caps, but it has all kinds of x10, audio/vidio wiring, etc, but the guy in the aisle knows even less than the guy back at RS.
The parts department is incredibly dense with those floor to ceitling fold out panels and everything, not like Frys where the store fixtures are about waist high.
In real non retail life, that little building at the bottom of a tower is called the shack, short for radio shack. I've rarely heard someone call it the radio shack, but that is where the name of the store derives from. The little shack at the bottom of the tower has radios in it, the ones that go with the antennas on the tower. And the store also has radios in it, at least it did at the time Tandy came up with the name. So, if you are in the telecommunications industry, it's not a big change, but yeah, if I'm not already thinking in a radio context, the "shack" reminds me of a rickety old house that might have B52's in it. BTW, amateur radio operators, hams, also call the room in their house with radios in it the shack, but that's ham talk, and I doubt that Radio Shack is going overboard to appeal to hams any more than other enthusiasts of cheap op amp, hookup wire, and soldering irons.
Actually, the best option IMHO, would be for them to warn the users, then delete, allowing a day or two for the annotations to get transfered and the howling to cease. They'd run the risk of an injunction, but the percentage of users upset enough to matter would be much smaller.
I almost added that, but I figured anyone reading slashdot would know the difference between magic and engineering. Yeah, the product isn't designed to enable backup, but if you can't figure out how to make a backup, someone else will. Apple didn't intend people to do some of the things that get done with the iPhone either.
Unless or until copyright law mentions a difference, electronic products should be treated similarly to existing products which they claim to mimic. In this case, Amazon should have notified it's customers before recalling the books. If Amazon intends to recall by deletion, they most certainly should inform the users so that the deletion can happen at a time convenient to the customer. Burying a disclaimer in the TOS isn't a substitute since most TOS aren't written to be understandable and if I was the judge, wouldn't stand up in court unless they stated common sense, or practices that were already common. Deleting purchased software files from a customers computer is certainly not typical or expectable, unless you live in a country where books are seized an destroyed without warning. Can you imagine what would happen if Intuit suddenly deleted all existing copies of Quck Books?
But, all legal issues aside, Amazon let a really big cat out of the bag. They immediately made competing products more attractive. And Kindle customers now know to make a backup copy.
The Music Industry is NOT the Recording Industry. As recording has become almost trivially easy, just about any performer who wants to can buy, rent, or borrow a suitable studio, and reproduction has become as simple as copying a file, the industry is becoming more focused on the performer. Which is probably what the fans prefer.
Wow, that is interesting, especially the fact that the standard deviation (which isn't stated directly) is apparently quite small. Everyone started within a year of each other. That explains why seventh grade was so crazy. So, why did they start sending the boys out to play football and showing gross videos to the girls in fifth grade? I had no idea what that movie was about, just that it was totally disgusting.
On the opposite end of the scale, you have some green women who are deeply concerned that bringing too many children into the world might somehow compromise the planet.
Green women can be quite attractive if it's an smooth, even shade of green. On the other hand, green zits are just as bad as the other kind.
For all those who think fashion models are beautiful, get data on how many children they produce, then compare them with a woman you know. Who has more kids? Get out their high school yearbooks, the ones prior to cosmetic surgery. Which looks better? Beautiful girls get married, have kids, and look their age. Wannabes wait until they grow up, get plastic surgery, get modeling jobs, and are scared to have kids because they don't want to ruin their appearance. Which you rather have the woman who starts out beautiful and isn't afraid to behave like a normal woman? that is, marry and raise kids whether or not they also have a job. Oops, that does sound a bit sexist, but those super models are not normal woman and they will avoid getting pregnant until they are ready to retire, and that is not normal, not unless a woman is the sort who has no natural desire to reproduce. The fact that even highly paid will take the economic hit that comes with becoming mothers demonstrates that for most women, reproductive behavior and the ensuing change in their body shape is normal.
Except that the standard for "beauty" changes over time. I'm not sure I'm buying this.
Except that it doesn't. There is such as thing as fashion, which changes with styles, and such, but look at the girls, the real live girls you went to school with. Who among them turn you on, you want to date, you want to marry, if you can. They rarely look like models. They look healthy and well groomed. They have boobs, they have a rear end. If they have good abs, there is a layer of fat softening their muscle definition. Honestly, I was looking at a picture the other day and really wondered if they really had some sort of transgendered person. She had a sexy face and long hair, but, she also had a 6 pack, and was hiding her boobs behind her hands. Real woman can't hide their boobs behind their hands.
Yeah, from the header, I expected to read about some homosexual, male only, sex den. In actuality, it sounds like a good place for stressed out female public workers to relax with or without the men.
But, why scales? are they running some sort of business in there?

I go to lots of conferences where supposedly there are lots of brilliant men. But, when I meet them, they are just as stupid as the rest of the guys.

IDK, fabless chip manufacturers are still chip manufacturers, so why not a car manufacturer that outsources all its factory work?
Fair? Unfortunately, I've come to learn that they are just as unfair as the other.

This could cause some confusion with the Love Shack chain of adult toy stores
Damn, I was about to mention the alligator clips, but you beat me to it. Can you do anything fun with banana plugs?
