No matter how bad you might think nuclear power is, buring coal is even worse.
Fortunately, it seems that most Slashdotters believe that nuclear power is good. It's efficient, safe, and the "pollution" it produces isn't dumped into the environment, it is collected and delt with.
Also get a screw-on UV filter (if your camera can hold one). It doesn't really do anything to the picture, but it's an extra lair of protection in case the lens gets bumped/scratched. They're cheap. A new lens isn't.
If you don't want sales pages, sometimes it's easier to throw in a -checkout or -"shopping cart" than to find words the sales pages won't have. Most people forget that you can tell google what words you don't want on a pages as well as the ones you do.
Also note that Microsoft specifically says that their software is not suitable for mission critical systems. MS products are designed to be easy to use, not reliable.
It seems to me that you are equating "popular" with "better". Just because a band is well known doesn't mean they can't charge a similar price for their music. For example, I would rather pay 99 cents to listen to an unknown group, then to listen to Brittany Spears. Plus, since the credit card companies get a cut of the revenue, the store can't feasibly charge less.
My post: The anti-virus companies come up with the names, often making fun of the virus writers in the process. MyDoom was named for a variable misspelling: MyDoomain (suppose to be MyDomain).
The second sentence was just a repeat of what I had heard earlier on Slashdot. After a bit of looking around, I found that, as you pointed out, it has no factual basis. In fact, I found this quote:
Mydoom was named by Craig Schmugar, an employee of computer security firm McAfee and one of the earliest discoverers of the worm. Schmugar chose the name after noticing the text "mydom" within a line of the program's code. He noted: "It was evident early on that this would be very big. I thought having 'doom' in the name would be appropriate."
So while myDoom was named after a string in the virus, it was named after a different one that I posted, and for a different reason.
The point of my post was to say that anti-virus companies name the viruses, and avoid names that would give prestige to the virus writer.

When Canada was created, it could have had French cuisine, British culture and American technology. Instead, it got French technology, British cuisine and American culture.
I'm not sure about everyone else, but I interpreted it as "Big Brother the TV show" where the contestants are watched for the benefit of the viewers. This is Slashdot though, so I can see why everyone is freaking at the term.:P
Exactly. You would think that if we can train drivers to use a high-tech radar array thingy, we can train them to do a bloody blind-spot check. I look where I'm going when I drive; If I change lanes, I look to make sure the lane is clear first. And no, IANARocketScientist.:P
Landmines are a HUGE problem in so many countries. Engineers Without Borders has a yearly competition for de-mining technology. These plants could make the new devices obsolete.
One quick question: what about minefields in the desert? Plenty of places have mines where plants don't usually grow (or at least not densely enough for the plants to detect them all).
I'm going to make a database with my personal info and copyright it. That way, if any company misuses the information they accumulated from me, I can sue. Wait...I live in Canada...
I heard that "100% ground beef" is in fact 100% ground beef. The catch is that they use 100% of the cow (imagine a giant blender), so some of that beef is not what you'd normally eat, but still counts.
This is Slashdot: people know the difference between weight and mass. Read the reply by an Anonymous Coward for a less diplomatic version of the same thing.

Knives are used in murders, but they are still legal.
Computers are used for vandalism and fraud, but they are still legal.
Almost anything has an illegitimate use, but we don't outlaw the thing, we outlaw the use.

He's not making that kind of movie!

My University has one of those. They use it as a classroom for quantum physics.

Gargoyle?

If the deal goes through, I wonder if Microsoft will merge the AIM and MSN networks.
For every anti-DRM nerd out there, there are 50 (or more!) common people that just want to listen to music
But the common people are the ones that use Kazaa and will totally miss the new mp3s because they won't be traded over p2p.The simple division of structures into hierarchies and collections in software too simple for our needs according to Livschitz.
It looks like there's some bugs in the grammer checker michael uses.

Sorry for the mis-information.
laisse fair (spelling?)
"laissez-faire"
Just FYI.The anti-virus companies come up with the names, often making fun of the virus writers in the process. MyDoom was named for a variable misspelling: MyDoomain (suppose to be MyDomain).
Kind of like the Canadian joke:

When I was a lad, it only took one side of a loose leaf paper to fit in all the ones and zeros.

We need two RIAA stories, stat!
