The digg button kit would be a good present for the Ron Paul fan in your life. That way they could practice their obsessive digging when they don't have access to a computer.
First of all, the taxes aren't just to pay for the music players, they are for a number of measures.
Secondly, the story doesn't specifiy it'll be ipods, just a digital audio player. Given the more reasonably-priced audio players around, they'd be idiots to pick Apple's trendy but pricey players.
I think digital audio players could be very useful in an educational context, but current copyright law will probably render them useless. You need to be able to put useful content on these devices. This could end up being very expensive.
The person who wrote the cnet story is called Erica Ogg.
Waht makes me Zzzzzz is everytime I read a slashdot article, I come across comments trying to predict what the other commenters (by implication, those others are less intelligent than the poster- pointing out stupidity in others in an attempt to make him look smart by association).
I prefer to read posts about the subject on slashdot, rather than posts about slashdot, especially when they have the irritating smug tone of "Oh, look at all the losers and their oh so predictable posts. I'm glad I'm far more intelligent than the unwashed masses!"
And, yes, I am aware that I don't have to read any posts here, and that I have not only read one of these pointless posts but replied to it.
Actually, Paul McGillion who plays Dr. Beckett in Stargate Atlantis is a Scot. Although he grew up in Canada (he was 2 years old when his family moved there), he lived back over here in his teens. So, when it was decided to make the Atlantis cast more diverse, McGillion chose to make his character Scottish.
"Extreme anti-globalisation people" couldn't pull this off. You need to be a rich capitalist like Osama Bin Laden to have access to the necessary resources. Preferably, you should also (like Bin Laden) have the backing of a Western power, or have had it in the past.
Anarchists also aren't organised enough. Violence by these groups tends to be more along the lines of throwing bricks. Of course, only a tiny proportion of the anti-globalisation movement is violent.
Presumably this is why they aren't offering their own build but a link to the regular firefox download page and an extension. Trademarks don't enter into it as they aren't actually distributing a browser.
PS/2 may be outdated, but many people still have PS/2 keyboards. Apple are marketing this as something people can plug their old keyboards and mice into, when it is not in fact the case.
Er, the Mac mini has been on Apple's site for the last two days or so. Talk about a dupe, this has been the main topic of discussion on slashdot for most of the past week!

I thought it was strange seeing Miguel de Icaza criticising Microsoft.
I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it
I'm British. I'm waiting for B'gle to appear any day now.

The Robot Dog Soccer World Cup is the event in the robotics world.

No, I really don't think they planned and executed this attack in under 24 hours.

You get modded insightful for saying "fuck off" now?
What do I get for saying "cunt"?

There is a Greasemonkey user script which claims to block ads in RSS and Atom feeds, but I've never used it so can't tell you if it works.
Set your language preference to US English. It didnt show my gmail when it was in UK English.

Well, someone doesn't get the joke.

When asked for a comment Mr Vader said "I find your lack of faith disturbing".
As Cmndrtaco would say: Lame.

Protein strands? We had to compile our own protein strands out of amino acids when I were a lad. Have you tried compiling protein on a Celeron box?
Now we know what to do with the money left over from the New York Times ad.
Are there any videos of this speech?
Will this work on linux or will we have to rely on a HD-DVD Jon?
