Don't bring your bibles. These people need real actual help, they don't need folks coming down there with ulterior motives trying to convert them.
Was there something he said that made you think that his main focus wasn't helping people's immediate and actual needs? There's a thousand different ways you could have respectfully inquired as to this volunteer's motives. Instead, you automatically assume his motives to be dark and sinister. Ya, we all read your lame attempt to claim otherwise.
And the whole ending, with a plea for the children; great cover for that crass demonstration of your inability to act civily in light of an obviously negative past experience.
For being a site for nerds, I'm surprised that only you and I have heard of Dr. Schoch's findings and his subsequent run-ins with prominent Egyptologists.
For those unfamiliar with this man and his claims, go here.
Indeed, there is more mystery to the great pyramids than "how did they put such large stones in place?". Check it out.
This is not about how much these billionaires are respected.
It's Broadway. The dinosaur of the entertainment world that just won't go away. Ticket sales have been steadily going down for 10 years now. The only reason Broadway still exists is because of tourists and rich upper class snobs.
I'm all for background checks and psychological profiles being done on CEO's and upper management.
Yea, because everyone knows they're the ones who go berserk killing everyone once they get layed off....oh...wait....no......they're the ones usually doing the laying off. Dumb AC.
If so, (and for argument's sake let's take you as a representative sample) then it looks like Apple's bean counters called this one right. $15m can't be as much as it would have cost them to handle this proactively from the beginning.
However, what's difficult to gage is the negative effect this had on people who were thinking about buying an iPod, or some other Apple product.
Some version of Pong that we could hook up to the TV.
Then an Atari2600. Figured out an infinite pattern for Pac Man. The birth of saving money to buy video games.
Kids today can use an emulator and get a real good idea of what game play was like for our generation. What a lot of them are missing is the arcade experience. That period in gaming history that had its own place. That place, the only place, that had the newest and coolest games. Your 2600 couldn't touch that.
Eagerly feeding the machine gulps of quarters in a fit of "gotta get past this level".
And the hang. One of the few places totally made for kids. Usually the only adult, was running the place. Competing with your friends and gloating when your initials top list. Taking your medicine when the local champ stuffs you. Unplugging that game just so you can see your name on the scores list, for a while.
Sure, there are still arcades. But going to an arcade today gets you as close to that golden era in gaming history, as driving a BelAir gets you closer to the 50's car culture.
Slashdot Mirror
Someone's gonna put an eye out with that thing!
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!
Apparently you've never heard of kit cars.
Well done.
May you live a long, and hopefully not lonely, life!
You got it kiddo! Go Joe!

Insightful, indeed, but at what cost?
Uh, ya. That would be using the prison-raped-it's-so-lose definition of 'design'.

This is not hero worship.

yea....Ballmer's a madman. Employees have already disposed of several bodies, casualties of the "Ballmonster's" fatal outbursts.
Jeez! With all these polyanish responses, you'd think a lot of the readers here have never worked for anyone other than Mr. Flanders.
A little yelling and object throwing and they go all week kneed. Wimps.
I mean, there's so many to chose from.
wow...sounds like you should be involved with a relief organization.
Instead, you're sitting on the sidelines critiquing.
How...lame.
Goto molliza and search for "session manager". Jeez, how hard is that?
You want me to get you some milk and cookies now too?
The GP was not complaining, he was correcting your assertion that this was not nanotechnology.
BTW: What dictionary did you grab that definition from?
Tab Mix Plus for Firefox:1.0-Dearpark. Totally Rad!
Some people just don't get it!
Did you buy another iPod?

Hmm...my guess is that one of the world's most established and respected relief and developmental organizations doesn't really care about what Slashdot plublishes or what it doesn't.
"...it's all over other news..."
No it's not. This story is pretty much only being covered by Utah news media.

Really?
The majority of the recipients of the subsidies where the hard working people that built the planes, serviced them, flew them, and served on them.
it might be great to have a pair of these per cabinet (1+1 failover).
It's alright! Calm down. Take a deep breath.
You're gonna be O.K.
There ya go.
Now set the remote down and turn off the TV. That's it.
Now for the hard part. Slowly press the power button on your computer and then poor yourself a tall glass of beer.
