I can download all of the Wile E. Coyote episodes uncensored. It kills me that they see a need to hack the shit out of the classic looney tunes cartoons to protect kids from viewing violence. It was okay for a whole generation of children and adults alike and now suddenly it's not okay, so they need to censor them.
Don't ask for permission. Solve a complex problem quickly and then when he asks how you did it, tell him you used PHP (worked for me).

And those stories are the only reason that I started reading slashdot in the first place. Would anyone else here find slashdot less appealing if all google & apple stories were rejected from here on out?
What difference does it make if he records it with his DVR or if he Downloads it? Really?
For me, downloading is way more convenient (and faster too - it only takes me about 20 minutes to download an episode of Top Gear - it takes an hour to record it with a DVR).

On a side note - I want to advertise a piece of software that I wrote on adsense - I wish there was a way to stop it from being displayed to AOL users. They're not going to do anything for me except waste my advertising budget.
Note footnote attached to claim in Product Highlights that the
Ditty can pack 220 songs into 512 MB of memory, roughly twice the
songs Apple claims can fit on a 512 MB iPod Shuffle.
Follow footnote to see explanation that this storage estimate
requires encoding songs as 64 kbps WMA, which bit rate is half that
of Apples default of 128 kbps AAC, and roughly equivalent in
fidelity to that of transmissions carried over tin cans and
string, but which, perhaps, is not a dirty marketing trick, but,
rather, a fair assessment, considering that anyone with such
profoundly bad taste in industrial design who would consider
purchasing this device probably also has such bad taste in music
as not to notice that their 64 kbps-compressed songs sound like
mush.
Sit back and recall, with tremendously smug satisfaction, a
decades worth of tech industry punditry holding that superior
design would never get Apple anywhere, and that Apple should
instead, you know, be more like Dell.
The only reason I don't use the gimp is because I can't be bothered to learn a new interface. I keep hitting Photoshop's shortcut keys expecting them to work and its frustrating not knowing where all of the menu & tool bar items are.

Nice to see it scaled well for you. My MySQL server is currently running around 150 queries per second (540,000 an hour) with no problems.
The fact that Oracle just bought the company that supplies the default MySQL storage engine
InnoDB is not the default storage engine in MySQL... MyISAM is.
Don't get me wrong: It is possible to write good, secure, scalable code in PHP. It just isn't very common.
Hopefully the Zend PHP Collaboration Project will help more people write "good, secure, scalable" php code.

As always with Microsoft, security is an afterthought.
I'd say it's par for the course...
Quicktime 7.0.3 (released yesterday) has a preset for encoding video for iPods.
The only button on a remote you need for a Television is "Power"
Are you volunteering?
Sure, count me in. What exactly are we going to do?
Will someone please put a stop to this? Seriously, it's getting old.
Day after day we hear about how the RIAA is trying to revoke our fair use rights. Will someone please just slap them and tell them they're wrong?

With firefox or safari you can use your own stylesheet to make everything bigger.

See news item that Dell had released a new flash-memory-based music player to compete against the iPod Shuffle: the Dell DJ Ditty.
Note that no picture of said Ditty accompanies news item.
Visit dell.com.
Note that no picture of said Ditty appears on front page of dell.com, even after several reloads to cycle through random promotional images.
Search for ditty in text of front page of dell.com.
Note that ditty is not found.
Begin to suspect that even Dell is not very proud of this device.
Visit apple.com.
Note prominent and primary emphasis on luscious product porn of new iPod Nano.
Hop back to dell.com and search for Ditty in site-wide search box.
Note vague resemblance to a 50-cent Bic lighter:

I've been an OSX user for nearly 5 years. Still waiting...
FireFox version 1.0 is less than a year old, IIRC.
IE 6 is how old, 4, 5 years? And they're still releasing patches??
Bigger is always better, no matter what she tells you.
