And he is absolutely, perfectly right. If slashdot was a site with just a few readers, they'd be dupes. But slashdot is big enough for them to be reruns, for the people who missed the news.
And more importantly:
It's only a dupe if you're dumb enough to read it two times!
Their competitor in Finland is www.huuto.net. Actually, I wouldn't even think of buying on ebay.. I don't even know if it's possible.
Anyway, huuto.net seems to be a lot simpler that ebay, no fees for anyone (except certain specila services), no screwy things, and reliable sellers. Probably because of the smaller size, but still.
True, but you can't argue against the usability of the mouse wheel itself. I think my mx1000 has too many buttons, but all of them except the essentials are out of the way with a normal grip. I can't see why a wheel in the middle of the one mac button would be a bad idea.
Well, Google help talks about stemming. Can't find parentheses, but this page and a previous post talks about it. I found that | doesn't seem to work for OR though.
ADSL. Cable exists (Finland), but isn't really common I think. I haven't really seen any ads for it anywhere. Then again, I get a university discount for adsl, so what would I know:)
Btw, those fat ones are mostly in Sweden. My god I wish Finland would pick up on the pipebandwagon soon, there's been some discussion at least.
Well, I guess you need a special monitor to decrypt those red pixels, because I can't see any. There are however 17 unique colors in the image. Do you mean red, or with a red hue?
Lots of good points.. let's see if I can come up with some.
There are other reasons why tags are bad too. Curly braces are easier to read, because you don't have to read them. I assume having lots of tags that look similar must be frustrating in the long run, because of the visual clutter, which means that one can't "visualise" the code, as in just reading the shape, not the actual code. (then again, curly braces become parentheses on a blurry monitor, heh) Same goes with
gt,leq,neq vs. >,<=,!=,
letters require reading, but a simple symbol can be seen even if you aren't looking at it. Also, my angled brackets are to the left of 'z', both on the same key. Along with |. Argh.
When I said pressing tab and so on, I did mean that same kind of option box with all possibilities, but it sould be sorted in a sane order to minimize searching through it. But actually, I thought that come completion would be easy, but perhaps not. How about creating some kind of custom interface for writing a tag? After having written the plain starting tag, there are two places where you want to type next (probably), inside and between. At this point, an additional "cursor" could be introduced, pointing for example inside the start tag. Pressing right, moves to the outside, in between tags, but pressing backspace does a normal backspace with the original cursor. Also, trying to move further in the tag than what is possible would cause the main cursor to become active again. I think there are lots of neat little tricks that can be done when writing tags.
Or maybe not, I don't know:). Anyway, I thought of a solution for bringing the advantage of tags to curly braces. Comde completion again: when a starting curl is typed, the ending curl is also placed (according to personal preference). Then, these curls become linked, so than whatever one does with them, they do it together. Pointing at one could show a name, and the ending curl has the same name (which aren't show in the code). If problems occur, the names switched on in the code, or a block of code, so that you get something similar to tags. Alternatively, deleting one could delete the other, and pressing a key right after would show what happened in the other end. Just to make sure, that is. Again there could be lots of little tricks that could be done. Now here comes the problem: how do you put that into the source code itself, without cluttering it up? I can think of three ways: XML, separate file, or some block of junk in the end of the file that contains the necessary formatting data.
Although, supposing that code which is saved to disk is always free of curly errors, saving the curl data might not be necessary.
How about cutting this in half with the help of the IDE: every time you type a closing bracket on a starting tag:
<while|
the IDE automatically prints out a newline and the closing tag:
<while>| </ while>
... of course keeping the cursor in place, as shown. Anything that doesn't require closing tags (?) is a simple exception, or it could be cancelled by pressing esc directly after. Also, completion can help: type
<wh|
and press tab, and it gets completed to
<while>| </ while>
Press tab again and it gets replaced by
<wtf> </ wtf>
(developer's comment), or whatever is the next most likely tag, or next most used (not the next alphabetical, which is totally braindead). It's all in the IDE. People, let's start designing IDE's using our brains!
That should be the assumption, but it also depends what your ISP or net admin does. And there's also a random element, just because a windows box can be rooted within minutes of connecting it, doesn't mean it will happen. I have actually connected an XP box, downloaded sp2, patched it (and subsequently counted myself lucky). No infections. Of course, this was only due to laziness, as I would've pushed away any trojans/crap afterwards, had they come.
But dupes aren't necessarily bad either. Not all people read slashdot 24/7/356. Some people even leave their computers for a while. Thus, an interesting story can be repeated. The best solution would be to have a separate category for known dupes, a database of who has read what story, and an option to display missed articles.
Well, the swastica thing is mostly a German thing. But wearing a swastica arm band in public is usually seen as very bad taste, since you effectively label yourself as a neonazi. Maybe it could be compared to going around and saying "fuck you" to everyone you meet on the street. That recent thing is silly though, since it was a costume party. The swastika itself isn't censored where I come from.

No, I think the trademark was for "i486" which is not a number.
That's the catch. You all tripped..

You must realise though, that the craze with huge bazooms might not extend too far outside of the US.
To protect against viruses?

Already in there, it seems.
"* Filtering out linkfarms and search-pages."
They're working on that, help them out.
You mean it's still worth a 3.Profit! ?

No, you're just in a state of denial.
But why do you say the body has "inherent" intimacy? Just because you feel so?
