(and don't gripe: you already *have* a mouse, monitor and keyboard).
No, actually, i don't have a USB keyboard. Many people don't have a USB mouse, either. They should have added PS2 ports if they were serious [yes, a PS2->USB adapter is only about $20, but it's another trip to the store for someone who was told their existing keyboard would work]
step 1: write lame slashdot comments about how the world should be run step 2:... step 3: as listed below: Software patents will only last eighteen months. Only novel ideas will be patentable. Pointer comparison IsNot novel. Any attempt to claim something that was being done before the patent was made public is patent infringement, will automatically invalidate the entire patent in question. Any attempt to popularize a patent without disclosing the fact that it is patented, with the intention of collecting royalties later, will also result in automatic revocation.
being able to use a computer at work had no greater impact on employability or wage levels than being able to use a telephone or a pencil. (emphasis yours)
How employable are you without being able to use either of those, seriously?
Side note: in the UK, it's actually treason, as the postal service is operated on behalf of the royal family. Stealing mail from the post office is actually stealing from the Queen, because it belongs to her, not you.
i think the US post office works the same way [i.e. the mail is government property] - but our definition of "treason" is a lot more strict than yours so it's still just theft [but it's theft of government property and thus a federal crime]
The natural conclusion from your second formula is that a single chlorine atom can go marauding through the entire atmosphere, destroying ozone, without any consequences to itself - doesn't this violate some law of conservation?

these newspapers are going to be annoyed that _their_ websites are getting de-indexed, though.

he word "Algorithm" is derived from Al-Khwarizmi , an Uzbeck(?) Muslim
Blasphemy! Everyone knows it was Al Gore who invented the algorithm.
the reference itself is actually appropriate - the episode in question was [quite heavy-handedly] a metaphor for that sort of thing.
you're not supposed to rename it - just go to "change icon" on the shortcut and select the bmp as filename

If slashdot isn't going to support mirroring, they should at least link all the pages of the article so that mirrordot will retrieve them.
They're suing in the US. US laws apply. If they wanted french laws to apply, they can sue in France, and google then could go about their business.
If they want to play in our court, they play by our rules.
you can't even validate it as "2 groups of 3-4 alphanumeric"? it doesn't look very freeform to me.
you're sure it's not this one? this is the one that comes to mind: http://www.timtate.org/images/think_of_the_domokun .jpg
so what? the page existed (at least as an everything2 article) before it was linked on slashdot.
hey, anyone else remember when slashdot used to link to e2 instead of wikipedia for definitions?
No such thing. ASCII is iso 646 - neither 8859-1, nor cp1252, nor cp437 hold the right to the title "ascii".
or maybe graduated 2002 and born 4/8/84?

1111111111 decimal has nothing to do with anything, but that last one is why the problem with 2^31.
you don't need to divide it into "2 parts" to have twice as much.
About a month ago, they sent out invitations to everyone who signed up for the "sign up to hear when gmail is available" mailing list.
it's done - over - everyone who wanted a gmail account has one. period.
yes, it would, if this is an action of the US government.

Aren't the second and third ones you listed the same guy?
Slashdot is in the default trusted sites list - though ironically this makes it display in internet explorer mode by default..
The number of ammendments is rather small considering the US Constitution is about 230 years old.
hmm...230, twenty-seven... eight and a half... 1992... actually,come to think of it, we're about due, aren't we?

don't you mean 1 computer in 64?
