Fact: Most rape occurs to men( in prison ). Fact: You are far more likely to be infected with HIV via rape if you are a man. Fact: Hundreds of men in the US alone, by means of in-prison HIV transmission, have been handed the death sentence for crimes that originally warranted a few years. Fact: When a woman is raped, the general reaction is one of disgust, anger, contempt.
Why the FUCK is rape perpetuated against men so funny?
Of course they probably aren't as bad as what you find over the midwest
Correct - they are much worse. The lightning produced by storms above the Sonoran Desert( read: Phoenix and Tucson, AZ )is generally much more impressive and powerful than that of the midwest.
Monsoon season here produces some extremely impressive desert lightshows.
Then again, it's normal for most Americans to forget that there actually are places in this country that don't touch ocean. Fortunately for us, so will the terrorists when they strike next:)
You can't possibly know that. Stomach ulcers are primarily caused by the bacterium helicobactor pylori. Peptic ulcers have absolutely nothing to do with stress. That ridiculous hypothesis was disproved long ago.
Because this is Slashdot, where aging hippies get their kicks from aging software.
It doesn't matter that Postgres does ACID-compliant transactions and is much faster and more scalable than Ingres, and actually supports SQL-92, and triggers, and stored procs, and many many other modern features.
What *does* matter is that ooooooh, shiny, I can run this on that old VAX I have sitting in my garage! The nostalgia will help me mentally escape from the fact that I'm developing severe heart disease and my rapidly deteriorating neurons are no longer wanted in the tech industry at the ridiculously high salary I demand!
Slashdot (and Wired) has a heavily libertarian slant.
Wired, maybe. Slashdot definately not.
Michael, Cliff, CmdrTaco, and Timothy - in that order of severity - are all raving leftists. The readers tend to be heavily leftist-indoctrinated college students or naive teenagers into whom reality has not yet knockied some sense.
There are a few libertarians and even Republicans, but by and large this place is a Clinton Fan Club.
At least you don't have to be rich to get health care.
I have to take issue with this claptrap. I pay $70/mo for a private PPO plan( much better than HMO )with Blue Cross. This is not bad at all. I am sick of people whining about the cost of health insurance and making ridiculous claims that you have to be "rick" to afford it. $70/mo isn't even enough to pay for a used Honda Civic.
Try this:
- Don't smoke.
- Don't overeat to the point of weighing 300lbs.
- Don't marry some bitch who expects you to impregnate her.
If you are high-risk on account of YOUR OWN CHOICES, you deserve high rates.
It's basically the same, except you get paid less and you're taxed more. Also, instead of the company providing health insurance, you get state-provided health care that is roughly about as good as health care in Uganda.
With their sweet computers (all of which run Linux) and their low prices, Sun can barely compete.
IBM does NOT have low prices. Have you tried pricing out a POWER4-based server recently? More expensive than the USIV offerings. Have you tried pricing out an Intel-based server recently? WAY more expensive than the equivalent Dell or Rackable.
60Hz: Cell phones operate in the several GHz band. Wireless networks do too. Microwave ovens are at an even higher frequency( and besides, are always surrounded by an effective faraday cage ).
Magnetic fields: radio waves( cell, wireless )and microwaves are electromagnetic radiation, which are decidedly different from magnatic fields.
This study has ZERO bearing on the effects of high-frequency non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, so next time read the article before posting your ill-informed luddite drivel.
I think you added on 3 extra zeros to try to sensationalize your "point".
22 * $36,000 == $792,000
But yes, a good portion of the Indian Programmers have servants and chefs. You don't need to spew BS numbers to point out that being paid 22 times the per capita GDP is quite a cushy lifestyle.

That still leaves the hotpsot and server jvm options available.

Well I guess that rules out the LDS ( Mormon ) church
and I'm not going to get an ulcer.

This won't be popular amongst the rabidly anti-gun /. crowd, but packing is your best bet.
The French say, 'Mais, oui!'
If this means "we surrender!" in English, then yes, indeed they do.
Nice troll. You actually got me to waste a minute of my time!

Taco:
I trust you already have the Slashdot article entitled "Vulnerability found in BIND 9.3" queued up for Saturday, right ?
With their sweet computers (all of which run Linux) and their low prices, Sun can barely compete.
IBM does NOT have low prices. Have you tried pricing out a POWER4-based server recently? More expensive than the USIV offerings. Have you tried pricing out an Intel-based server recently? WAY more expensive than the equivalent Dell or Rackable.
IBM is good, but not by any means are they cheap.
Slashdot even has some great April Fool's Banners, too. The banner for this article appears to be paid by microsoft and states:
"Linux costs are not lower than Windows"
Good one, Taco!
their half-assed semi-competent best is an order of magnitude better than we usually manage
I couldn't have made this comparison between the New York Times and michael's "journalism" better myself.
RTFA. This study relates to 60Hz magnetic fields.
60Hz: Cell phones operate in the several GHz band. Wireless networks do too. Microwave ovens are at an even higher frequency( and besides, are always surrounded by an effective faraday cage ).

You're education won't be much different as an undergrad.
Coming from somebody who couldn't afford MIT, and happily went to Maryland
Judging from your usage and grammar, it may be useful to remember the old adage "you get what you pay for".
