I wish I could moderate in the same threads I post in. That's actually one of the rare comments that made me laugh outloud. And to think, you wasted that posting as Anonymous Coward.
The article says that it is filled with "conventional party-balloon gas." The problem I see with that is that my understanding is that nitrous dioxide is heavier than air.
I understand most of the words in this article, but I don't understand its meaning. It's probably about games, and since I'm not a big gamer I can't make any sense out of it. Oh, I see. Although I opted out of "Games" on the front page some time ago, slashdot opted me into many sub categories when they were created. Apparently now I have to opt out of "Role playing (Games)", "Emulation (Games)", "First Person Shooter (Games)", "PS/2 (Games)", "Quake", and about a dozen others. Not to mention I have to keep an eye out for extra subcategories and try to stay out of them as well.
Why is it I don't hear a bunch of bitching about this decision to opt people into this kind of stuff? When Yahoo! or eBay or someone like that "re-adjusts" people's preferences, all you hear is a lot of complaining on slashdot. When Slashdot adds a bunch of new subcategories, apparently with the sole purpose of getting more stories out, almost no one complains. How can I tell slashdot that I don't want to read any stories about games? Not "Video (Games)", "Outdoor (Games)", or even "Reindeer (Games)".
I wonder if they'll allow me to specify my LDAP contacts database as my default source with this new eye candy. Currently, I have to make new contacts in my own database and then move them to the LDAP server.
The Caspian site shows RFID tags they have found embedded in the rubber soles of sneakers, in between layers of paperboard, you name it.
Do you have a link to a reference on that? I just searched around nocards.org, which I think you're referring to, but I couldn't find anything like that. I'd love to read more about it. Thanks!
Anyway, these Debian posts here for the past few days have convinced me to dive into it. Where is the best place for a Debian newbie to start?
I recommend using a Knoppix CD to start, install it to your drive, and then update it with apt. It's a pretty good way to get Debian installed quickly with a lot of software and good hardware detection. There's a pretty good installing debian from knoppix howto available.
I was run out of the local park (again) tonight for being there with my telelscope after closing. One cop commented on how large my telescope is, and the other retorted that it was perhaps big enough to see YourAnus. It took a lot of discipline to keep me from responding that not only could they see my anus, but they could kiss it for kicking me out of the park for sitting alone in the grass. Sometimes the similarity of the words works out rather well.
That instance of mozilla is not running. It doesn't have a triangle beneath it on the taskbar. That just means that it's an icon that you can use to start up mozilla. Such is my understanding.
Overture will pay AltaVista in common stock currently valued at $80 million, plus $60 million in cash; and it will assume certain of AltaVista's liabilities.
I don't understand why you people don't read the articles. I can't stress this enough, people: read the articles. They contain, useful, topical information.
Furthermore, some states (like California) have laws about vehicles which cause manufacturers to change the vehicles they make. This results in everyone, regardless of state of residence, buying vehicles that stand up to California's standards. GPS devices could soon come in that category.
They don't have to. They have a couple of things going for them. First, the article (which I'm sure you read) states that it would work by still having a gas tax at the pump, and then you get credit on your milage tax based on how much you paid at the pump. That means they still tax tourists and those who don't have the device (yet.) Second, there's nothing to say that they have to tax tourists. They could let them drive for free. In fact, that would encourage tourism, which is generally a good thing.

Oh yeah. Nitrous oxide. Mark that one up to one too many whippits.
Thanks for the polite correction.
nice 1-hit-wonder 80's reference!
Extra points if you don't speak German.

Well done, AC.

Do you pay when you ride the bus? Even if there are other empty seats?

Here's your UUoC award.
You can do that here.

Such is my understanding.
Most common answer:
See you at Watkins Glen and Infineon Raceway.
What are you trying to say?
I wonder if they had to pay royalties to those who have copyrighted silence.

I thought that
What, Hans Moleman isn't human?
The flying objects identify you.
Imagine being a deaf Internet user.
The metric system is a tool of the devil. My car gets 6 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it.
I've got one. Mine has extasy, lube, body oil, edible paint, and all kinds of stuff that adults like to play with.
