What will I do without my 4-Hour Sci-Fi block every Friday?!?!??!?!? I don't think I can live with only 3 hours.
8:00pm - Star Trek: Enterprise
9:00pm - Stargate: Atlantis
10:00pm - Battlestar Galactica
11:00pm - Stargate SG-1
Too bad the RIAA is keeping the money for themselves (only paying the Lawyers and the CEO's). Not a single penny from any of the 10,000 lawsuits have gone to the artists from whom "the money was stolen".
Jimmy! PULL THE STRING!! *waves hand* Just a second man
For the love of god! Deploy your parachute! I just gotta get the high score, I'm almost there.

The MPAA and all Regional and Local Variants of the MPAA declares war on France. The French shortly thereafter surrender and all French citizens are forced to pay 99% of their salaries or wages towards licenses for movies that you know everyone in France is pirating.
I'm still using my AVC Soul Player DMP-01, which is a MP3-CD Player with one of the best UI's prior to the iPod. Although you could only fit 700MB per disc, you had the advantage of being able to carry multiple 700MB discs since CD-R's are cheap as snot. Can't do that with a hard-drive or "most" flash based MP3 players.
If someone could come up with a player that is essentially identical to the Soul Player but can read from DVD-R's... it might really have a chance to compete with more modern hard-drive and flash drive players.
I've never had any problems transferring from Word to OpenOffice... and this is what I transferred and then used OpenOffice to make some fancy little borders at the top and bottom and convert to PDF: FinalReport.pdf
Anyway... I find this a useful way to convert any format to any other format without any complications. Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V enjoy. Even files from Orcad can use this method to convert to OpenOffice. Thats right! A freaking Cad program!
Thats got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read on Slashdot. Not only that, but it has proper capitalization... somethig most Slashdotters can't seem to grasp.
bloggers should be allowed to publish home addresses and other personal information about private citizens.
Now censorship is one thing and I'm strongly against it. However, publishing home addresses and personal information of say... Abortion Doctors on a militant "Pro-Life" site thats been known to murder doctors and bomb clinics is something completely different.
So, Censorship is one thing and this isn't even talking about it. This is saying that the majority of American's value their personal "Right to Privacy". The poster of the story got it completely and totally wrong.
The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager were all planned from the very beginning to be 7 seasons long. I'm assuming the same was true about Enterprise. The Original Star Trek Series was planned to be 5 seasons long but only lasted 3.
Why shine a laser into the cockpit of a plane drifting into restricted airspace? The piolet will just think he's being targeted by another one of those supposed 'terrorist' attacks. Here's a SPIFFY idea! Just radio them and tell them they are entering restricted airspace... really difficult, huh?
You countered your Subject Heading with your 4th Body Paragraph.
Snippet from your post:
all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.
As stated in the article, he was paying a pre-existing debt. This is the definition of "payment for debts when tendered to a creditor". So, Best Buy could legally refuse a $2 bill for say... a DVD but they can't refuse them when they're calling him at home telling him to come and pay a bill.
I had a customer at Michael's get the Manager, all pissed off that I had short-changed him. The Manager's standing right in my face, like she's about to fire me and the customer's face is bright red and he says "this is all the cash you gave me" as he holds one hand full of bills and one hand full of coins - including a Sacagawea Golden Dollar.
First off, is $1 worth getting the manager over? Couldn't you at least talk to the cashier first?!?
And second, its FREAKING GOLDEN! It stands out!! One look at its mighty yellowness and its obvious that its not a quarter!
Good deal on that!!!! Only 50 cents for a JFK 50 cent piece. They're actually worth around $5 now, if in near mint condition. Only recent coin that is better is an Eisenhower Dollar.
the fact that the 2-dollar bills were SEQUENTIAL and the INK ON THE BILLS WERE SMEARING...
Hmm, the article dosen't say either of these things. Did you pull this information out of your ass or are you just a Best Buy lackey?
Hmm, it seems like you're just a flaming piece of shit troller. Leave Slashdot and never come back you piece of monkey turd.
What the story does say is that the $2 bills were collected over the course of 18 years... making it impossible for them to be sequential. The story also says that the cashier marked them with a pen... the ink didn't smudge, the ink was from a pen!
There's not too much 'sensationalized' about the story. Here's a run down.
*Man Pays with $2 bills at Best Buy
*Cashier Calls Cops
*Cops Arrest Man
Technically, refusing a $2 bill is illegal. It says right on every bill printed by the US Gov't "Legal Tender" and "Non-Negotiable". Refusing a $2 bill in favor of more 'standard' currency, legally can void a contract. If the man offered to pay using any form of legal currency, even pennies, and they refused - then he is no longer obligated to pay the amount agreed to under the service contract.

The RIAA will never quit suing P2P users because the RIAA is making a profit from it...
Duke Nukem is going to be released before I was born? How is that going to happen?
I generally consider things that are going to happen to be in the future, not the past.

I noticed that comparison between web browsers is missing all 3 of the browsers for Amiga: IBrowse, Aweb, and... I forget..

Oh yeah, the Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V method also worked to transfer files from Microsoft Visio to Open Office.

And sometimes they go into the clerk's pocket, without being replaced by more 'common' bills ;)
