Cafe Americano is served by espresso places because they don't want to bother brewing real coffee separately when you can just add water to espresso and only have one machine to deal with. I don't think they're necessarily making fun of Americans.
They are, however, making coffee that tastes like crap, especially to anyone who can tell the difference between French Roast and Kenyan.
It would be even more comparable if you started with known good email addresses and made changes to them, most of which had no effect on where the message ended up. Like if you added a + with a whole lot of random junk that will get ignored by the mail servers before the @ in the address, then "randomized" by changing one character in the resulting string; most of these changes won't have any effect at all on the address the mail gets delivered to.
Actually, you're completely wrong. SpamCop only lists individual IPs that have been reported as sources of spam, and they removing them quickly once the reports of spamming stop coming in. They do not block subnets or any addresses which aren't actually sending spam.
Uh, sure, the richest man in the world diversifying his portfolio a bit is evidence that the company he still owns billions of dollars worth of stock in is about to fail.
The point of a term paper isn't to show that you can express the ideas in your paper. It's to force you to actually learn about some topic in enough detail that you can explain it to someone else.
The ability to do research and learn new things isn't going to be replaced by technology. When everyone's as dumb as you'd like to make them, who's going to write the software that does their thinking for them?
And you think Reuters and AP just have big AI computers sitting around writing those wire reports?
The fact that your crappy local paper doesn't employ any reporters doesn't mean that there aren't reporters somewhere writing all the original news stories. Those people will not be replaced by shell scripts. If the posting had claimed editors would be replaced, that would be more believable.
I don't think the "free" roaming involves any agreements between cell phone providers, any more than "free" long distance involves an agreement to carry long distance calls at no charge. Your provider covers the costs you rack up on other networks, and passes them on to you in your monthly fee. All they have to do is figure out how much to charge monthly to make a profit.

And Bill Gates couldn't possibly have lied in that interview.
It's not an announcement. It's yet another made up product from the people at ThinkSecret, which doesn't belong on Slashdot at all, let alone on the front page.
God, the ThinkSecret story doesn't even have a forged picture of the device like they did the last 3 times they announced Apple was releasing a PDA.
Yes, I realize that. The comment I was replying to suggested that Jon should appeal the case himself so a precedent could be set, which is patently absurd.
What kind of idiot would appeal his own not guilty verdict? The point of an appeal is to ask a higher court to change the decision of a lower court. If he wanted to be convicted he would have plead guilty.
Yes, but can you honestly say that you could sit through the actual, non-MST version of that movie without suffering immensely?
After seeing that episode, I just couldn't understand how they could refuse to do Plan 9 From Outer Space because it's just too horrible, but they had no problem with doing Manos.

Projected OS X native availability of OpenOffice.org 2.0 is currently Q1 2006. - from porting.openoffice.org. I'm not holding my breath.

Evolution is not "random".

I'm sorry, you seem to have misused an ellipsis. Hope this helps. You also misspelled two words in your flame about online spelling. Have a nice day.
They don't have a monopoly on MP3 players, and they aren't even the only ones selling batteries for their own MP3 player.

The little computer in your car isn't networked.

Yes, moderators, that's an interesting comment, describing a feature that already exists in the iPod.
I have a 100-line closed source program with no errors. You can't see it, but it proves that closed source is infinitely better than open source.
A very small percentage of that data is code, though.
Ok, that won't generally find memory leaks, but it will warn when you use uninitialized variables and dereference null pointers.
Look, just replace your uptime program with a script that prints out some ridiculously high value and quit whining.

sorry, 1 billion is 1,073,741,824. The new name for 1,000,000,000 is "billibion", to retaliate against the hard drive industry.
