One of the few episodes I've seen was a 2-parter with Brent Spiner appearing. It was great! I've tried to watch a few other times, mediocre episodes, but it causes me physical pain to hear that song. I listen to underground electronic music almost exclusively, so I can barely stand small doses of pop and the crap they play on the radio, but this makes me cringe.
They wouldn't have to release personal information, they could just say, "One applicant claimed to have the ability to disembowel a person with nothing more than a bible and stick of chewing gum." That would have done it.
They talk about all the oh-so-frightening skills that people presented, but they don't list one.
Are they blind to the fact that at least some of these "real applicants" were probably just playing pranks of their own?
Hopefully they'll be able to implement a system to ignore signals from, say, a device that puts out pulses the same frequency, at rapidly increasing intervals, tricking the car into thinking it's about to hit something.
I have yet to buy one song from iTunes, but somehow, despite Apple's best efforts as you believe is the case, I was able to transfer my entire existing music collection (mp3) to the device without a problem. If it supports the most common, standardized, open compression format, how are they limiting my choices? You don't/have/ to buy songs from iTunes.
There is a link to other fictional products on the site, but you can order the pizza box. Their front page even has links to a French retailer that carries it, www.colette.fr, and a German article about the product.
I guess you run a server so popular that it's visitors can generate enough traffic within literally a few seconds to bring down web servers, right? Oh, no... that's right, you're just some joyless anonymous punkass cynical fuck. You must be fun at parties.
I could tell the exact moment when the story went live (I was looking at the subscriber preview), when an image suddenly stopped loading halfway through.
With friends like Slashdot, who needs test load generators?
There are times you want to patch, configure, and compile from source, and there are times when you just need a working system ASAP. That doesn't make either one wrong.
Smaller user base? Less support? less market share? If you want linux for wusses, install Fedora, if you want to do it ALL from scratch, use this, and if you want something in between, gentoo works well.
I had to cringe when the lady at the polling place said, "This machine is not connected to the Internet, and there's no modem, so there's no hacking at all. When the first voter came in, I printed out a zero tally tape and showed it to the voter to make sure there were no votes already in the machine."
First of all, why should I trust her that she actually did this zeroing out of the machine... on her word? And second, how do I trust that the first voter actually/did/ read all zeros? Oh right, because she told me so.
There's no end to the possibilities of vote tampering when there's no paper trail, and no shortage of people who either don't understand or couldn't care less.
If every state had those machines, then I would not have a problem with electronic voting. Our machines in Orange County, CA do not have a paper receipt, so I for one voted on paper. Unfortunately, most people don't understand the issue enough to demand paper.

it'll be too soon. I knew it was doomed to fail the minute they gave up the orchestra for that "faith of the heart" easy listening crap.

all because you wanted to save a few cents on brake pads.
A park ranger told me that what they all use is Avon Skin So Soft. It's not designed as a bug repellant, but apparently it works the best.
I haven't tried it myself.

Not if you have rear-facing radar too.
(Playing devil's advocate)
Where have I heard that before?
I'm curious, and trying to learn more about Solaris... what /can/ Solaris do that Linux can't?

That's mine.
I'm not saying it isn't possible for the hardware to do it, I've just never seen any with that much detail in the administrative interface.
As if a camera with a built-in web server has the capability to filter by referer.

Owned.
That's the sound my foghorn just made for that one. :)
Wouldn't be surprised.
3... 2... 1... Go!
I guess I've read too many thousands of pointless arrogant trolls to see any humor and cleverness in any of them anymore.

What's the problem?
Linux sucks anyway. It's all about the BSDs.
If there's a joke there, I missed it.
Gotcha, and sadly you're right.
