It seems you are mixing things. The thing is you should not talk about, or implying about Google, after you have been interviewed by them. You know, like all those bloggers who wrote "My experience being interviewed by Google". This is an NDA for interviewing, not for people who sign for a work there.
When reading a comment, sometimes I want to read all its responses so I click on "X hidden comments". When done, I would like to collapse those comments I have just revealed. Is there a way to do this?
Yes, but Opera and (gasp!) IE don't have that problem.
You can say whatever you want about design flaws... but final users don't see that, they just notice functionality, and machines slowed down.
I am a fan and user of Firefox since it was called Firebird! I evangelized many people in the early days... But sadly know I acknowledge to have recently downloaded Opera, now it is free:(
Yeah, I like Futurama, but the "deep-buried" references the OP mentioned are very few, almost one every two episodes, or so.
That is why, when talking about Futurama, slashdoters ALWAYS mention: "P-NP", and the quantum "changed by measuring it" joke, no more no less.
You don't have to have a Ph.D to enjoy the other 99% of the show.
So that, they'll know we want THAT to go to the frontpage...
Best of two worlds!! We could have in the frontpage the "omelette" (if you have read the FAQ you know what i'm talking about), and at the same time, the most tagged stories/bookmarks from readers!
Are you kidding? No skill involved in penalty kicks? I see penalty kicks as a means of answering this question: "What would happen if they continue their scoring attempts?". Simple. The team with the best scorers (high scoring skills) and best goalkeeper (skill, or not?) wins.
Take it as a "sampling" of what would happen if time would continue going on. Of course, very simplified as there is only one attacker and one goalkeeper per try. But as another Poster said, this happens after 120', they all are exhausted!
Everything in italics is the exact comment from the submitter. Everything else NOT IN italics, is any of the additional comments by the editors. Haven't you ever noticed that????
My first "real" computer was an Atari 130XE (before that, I had the Atari 2600, and even before that, a Pong machine - I still have it getting dust at home!).
I began copying the program listings that appeared in the Antic Magazine (any of you remember it?). I was about 6 - 8 years old at the time. Slowly, I began modding those programs, and that thing leaded me to another thing, and quickly fell in love with all about it.
Next, I made the big jump, from that 130XE, to a 80286 with COLOR SCREEN!!. Nowadays I'm a happy Oracle/perl hacker... and also have worked as a sysadmin. I think that letting your kids "try and fail", is the best way for them to learn and became interested in technology.
A quick anecdote: Doing the crossover between the Atari D.O.S., and the real DOS in my 80286 clone (well, it was really, my older brother's computer), once I wanted to delete a directory. What did I do? Well, first I delete all the files in it "del *.* boy! that's easy". But then, I saw those funny files didn't disappear ("." and ".."). So I typed "del.." , and... yes!! I deleted all the files in root! I was just a 9 years old kid, but that didn't freaked me out, just encouraged me to investigate and learn more.
People polling my site for updates via RSS, would be good for my bandwith usage, because users will be retrieving a small amount of data and noticing nothing has changed... instead of doing a full access to my site, requesting images, etc.
That would be savings at the long term. Or not? What's the deal going on here?
I submitted this story to slashdot almost a year ago! (and it was accepted):

It's even the same name folks, MSN Newsbot.
the "real-submissions-unedited dept.".
As another poster stated (in the previous story), I also don't believe this is a made-story. The joke is the editors published this real life story, in any other given day wouldn't have made it.
Happy April's Fool.
In the Interesting side: Here in Latino-american countries, "April's" Fool is December 28th, "Day of Innocents". So, if you fall in a joke, you are a "poor innocent".
You are forgetting the added value of engines like PriceWatch, shopping.com, etc.: Knowing how good/bad are the stores you find out being with the lowest price.
Google only let you find out about the stores and prices, but you have no means to know (besides doing other searches) if that specific store is a safe place to buy, or if it just another shop with terrible service, delivery, etc.
Ok, I think I will buy it. Do you have any recommendations for a wannabe physics geek:)?
I have read books as "Superforce", "Runaway Universe" by Paul Davies, works and essays from Asimov, books by Carl Sagan, etc., but obviously science must have progressed a lot since all that was written:) !
Any other good quality books or authors I should look for?
Thanks for your insight! I'm not a dry brainiac, as I said, I enjoy fun in science books (but smart fun not smartass fun).
But dealing with the content of the book... Is the material covered in TFOTC just a subset of TEU? Is there something new in it as I have already read it? I would like to know if it is worth the buy. Sorry if I ask so much, buy I'm overseas and it's really expensive and slow to have this book delivered here...
I was about to buy "The Elegant Universe" and "The Fabric of the Cosmos", but a reviewer said TFOTC was just an "Elegant Universe for Dummies".
Is that true? Would it be enough for me to just buy "The Elegant Universe"?. I have an electrical engineering level from University, so I am in no ways a Physics illiterate, so I don't need everything chewed up and explained to me as if I were a retard (but of course, I enjoy witty analogies and clever commentaries).
In a press release soon to be made public, lawyers representing KB Networks (the Bennett-founded entity that owns HardOCP), refers to the suit as one based on a legal statue commonly referred to as the "Declaratory Judgment Act." HardOCP lawyers explain the act as one that "permits a person or entity being threatened with lawsuits from another party to force the issue to be decided, rather than having to operate under a cloud of uncertainty and intimidation."

I live in Ecuador, Southamerica, and would like to comment: "EH, WHAT??"
...and see if editors get a clue. Jeez

No thanks, the camera is my hobby, I do it for fun. I don't live for it neither would like to become its slave.

Ban everyone querying its RSS feed more than once a hour?

Which one do you think will likely be its successor?
