Here's another tip. More of a rhetorical question, actually: what the hell does anybody need a six-acre lawn for? Can you honestly say that it provides you with more enjoyment than, say, a half-acre lawn?
New York and New Jersey are huge mafia states, so I can easily see why the have wiretap increases.
You are correct. In 2009, law enforcement was still completely unaware of the mob activity in NY and NJ. But after they got HBO, it's opened their eyes to a lot of the shenanigans going on around here. They'll have the miscreants sorted out in no time - 2, 3 months max.
Not if the profits are negative. The thing is, spammers are already operating on a really thin profit margin; so even a small rise in the cost of spamming could have a devastating effect.
This is, of course, a worthy policy goal. But it ignores the much bigger problem: the upcoming ban on inefficient light bulbs which will make it extremely difficult to keep lava lamps in working order.
Well, it says right in the summary that half of all gamers are women. So it looks like we have gender equality right now. Which also means that the rest of the article is a crock of shit.
This is true. But the "some observers say" thing should set off anybody's bullshit detector. Who the hell are those observers? Are they people who actually have inside knowledge of the case? Random Slashdot posters? The journalist's drinking buddies?
Not just read the NY Post. Read it on the fucking web! Who the hell does that? The Post is what you read when you're in a New Jersey diner at 4 AM, and you figure that if you keep your eyes on the paper, you won't have to talk to the crazy guy next to you. If you have access to the internet and you can't find a better source of information than the Post, then you deserve all the bad things that happen to you.
This is the part that I don't understand either. Who's saying that, and why are they saying it? It makes no sense. I couldn't get through to the main article, so all I have to go on is the summary.
The charter of Human Rights states that the right to life is inalienable.
The second amendment to the US constitution guarantees the inalienable right to own guns. Does that mean that once I get a gun, I'm not allowed to give it away, ever?
Well, it's a reasonable assumption. A lot of Bad Things start in the American Colonies, then move to the UK after they've proven themselves here. Marijuana prohibition... infinite extension of copyright terms... reality TV...
Yes, it is. When you express a preference for one of two states, and completely fail to acknowledge that there are other possible states, you are implicitly presenting a dichotomy.
In this case, the state that's being ignored is one in which companies are able to make products and workers are treated like human beings. You can argue why it can't happen, or why workers don't deserve to be treated like human beings, but ignoring it is a dishonest tactic.
I would say that the Time Person of the Year is worth more than the Peace Prize, just because they're more honest: they give it to people who've had a great impact on the world, not necessarily a positive impact.
I expect other East Asian languages contain similar challenges.
Chinese traditional vs. simplified characters?
And how about German? It has several cases of orthographic equivalence - for example the letter "u with an umlaut, which I can't write here because Slashdot is fucking retarded" is considered equivalent to "ue". This means that if the system locale is German, then the filesystem should follow these rules. And of course, if you change the locale, then you risk breaking the filesystem. Sounds like great fun.
Slashdot Mirror
OMG capitalism!
You say this like it's supposed to end the argument. Like Capitalism is something that no sane person would question.
Aren't You supposed to be working?
Here's another tip. More of a rhetorical question, actually: what the hell does anybody need a six-acre lawn for? Can you honestly say that it provides you with more enjoyment than, say, a half-acre lawn?
They say that if earth had no seasons, then there would be very little diversity in life
Who's "they"?
In most of the tropics, there's very little seasonal variation. And those are the areas with some of the highest diversity.

This isn't a technical problem. There already are schemes like that - the problem is, nobody's promoting them, because there's no money in it.
0.3oz is $22
And still cheaper than an inkjet.
5. Re-energizing of the Lava Lamp market.
This is, of course, a worthy policy goal. But it ignores the much bigger problem: the upcoming ban on inefficient light bulbs which will make it extremely difficult to keep lava lamps in working order.

If the cops could see the guy recording them, then obviously it wasn't secret. So this law shouldn't even apply.
I take issue with your characterization of Mac and Linux cultists. They're nowhere near as batshit-crazy as the Solaris cultists.
Yes, it is. When you express a preference for one of two states, and completely fail to acknowledge that there are other possible states, you are implicitly presenting a dichotomy.

I'd rather pull long hours at a Foxconn plant than go to an early grave working in a US textile plant or coal mine decades ago.

Persecution of stock brokers would be a feature, not a bug.
What if someone made a car analogy that made no sense?

BitCoin should be banned because we want our currency to be as safe and stable as the U.S. dollar.
Say what? There are many problems with the US economy - but the stability of the dollar is not one of them.
Lame! That site hasn't been updated since 2008. Either that, or that's when the aliens stopped making crop circles.
