Not to say that the standard slashdotter has ever seen the real thing, much less left his parents basement
They reached a strange agreement for an argument about personal privacy: In lieu of showing ID, Gilmore would consent to an extra-close search, putting up with a pat-down in order to keep his personal identity to himself. He was wanded, patted down and sent along.
As Gilmore headed up the boarding ramp a security guard yanked him from line. According to court papers, a security agent named Reggie Wauls informed Gilmore he would not be flying that day.
"He said, 'I didn't let you fly because you said you had an ID and wouldn't show it,' " Gilmore said. "I asked, 'Does that mean if I'd left it at home I'd be on the plane?' He said, 'I didn't say that.' "
Well..uh...I do believe that the Cassini-Huygens launch date was back in 1997 so I thikn we can forgive them for not using 5 megapixel cameras on the probe seeing as how they didn't exist
depends on the class laser that being pointed into your eye...Laser Pointer Safety and so you know, anyone can buy a class 3b laser which can cause damage to the retina in the time it takes to blink
Quote from Laser Safety Information "Class 3B lasers are very likely to cause damage to the eye before the aversion response operates."
I uh hate to burst your bubble, but that is an if/else statement and not an in/then statement. And yes, there is a tremendous difference.

This has to be the stupidest, most moronic argument that I have ever heard!
You do, of course, realize why the majority of people who author web pages aren't compliant don't you? It's because they test their work in IE. Don't know how to do something? fiddle around untill it works. If they are using IE, it may work when it's non-standards compliant. Why not make a browser that is compliant so that when said developer is testing out the hacks they see it works in IE but not in the standards compliant firefox? This will cause them to redesign the page to work in firefox as well, thus making it standards compliant.
By your argument, I can deduce that you would probably jump off a bridge if everyone else did, so with that in mind.....keep using IE
Although I'm sure the/. crowd will ridicule me for this...
I was under the assumption that the WWW is the same as the internet. WWW stands for World Wide Web, meaning a collection of computers connected together in a "web" like fashion.
I believe what most ppl, and apparantly a few/.ers, call the WWW is just the HTTP protocol...servers that serve pages using the HTTP protocol are just called WWW by default because it is easier to remember just the domain name and assume that it is preceded by www.
Let us not forget that you can run a FTP server on a computer whose DNS name is www. You can also run a NNTP server on that same computer.
Considering this monumentous occasion. I suggest everyone head on over to ebaumsworld and check out the 70's/80's video about "Internet" and how great it is!
what's wrong with taking it back to the shop and asking for a new one?
Questions like this make me sick! This just goes to show how much the typical American consumer (myself included) views product quality.
Sure he could return it, but why can't we expect the manufacturer to provide a quality product that will last longer than 1 year?
This is the wrong attitude people. Big business has, for far too long, operated under the premise that they can make average quality products that will break in a short lifetime and just replace the product when it breaks. This works great for them because a large percentage of people will probably never send the product in for repairs. Why do you think there are companies that have a "try it for a week and send it back for a full refund" policy? They can do this because people are inherently lazy and therefore will never return the product.
I say make the company who sells the product make something of quality that will not break in less than a year!
This isn't a bug or anything that needs to be fixed. This is a result of people replying to posts on the middle of the "first page" thus causing the posts below them to be pushed down. Try refreshing sometime after reading all of the comments on a page and see what happens.
So what you are saying is that people should not live in areas that "could" be threatened by natural disasters.
I'm sorry everyone that lives on/within 100 miles of the Gulf of Mexico...but you cannot recieve insurance. Oh by the way...we've heard that hurricanes sometimes hit the east coast without hitting the mainland first. Therefore, anyone living withing 100 miles of the south/southeast/east coast cannot have insurance.
Oh an silly me, I hear that the Mississippi river floods sometimes up North, so sucks to live within 25 miles of the river.
While I'm at it, I hear that tornadoes sometimes hit areas in the middle of the North American Continent. Sucks...but no help for you.
Speaking of all the idiots...I hear of these volcanoes and earthquakes that cause problems for you idiots out on the west coast, well sucks to be you. If your house gets wiped out by an earthquake it's your loss for living there.
So where does that leave us to live where we are protected by FEMA??? Okalohama? Oh yeah...I heard about some bombings there not too long ago...no help for you if your home and all of your loved ones get killed by some psychotic jerk.........
Do I really need to go on to prove that you are not only an inconsiderate asshole but also a complete moron???
I happen to live in New Orleans. If we ever have the misfortune of being hit directly by a category 3+ hurricane, our entire city would be wiped out. And your attitude is, "Sucks to be you!"??? I seriously hope that you meet someone whose entire life was destroyed by hurricane Ivan and they have nothing to show for their entire lives work except for the clothes on their back...What are you going to tell them???
Even better, I hope that your entire family is killed by some natural disaster along with everything that you own...I would love to hear your attitude towards your tax dollars!

I, uh, think he meant incoming port 80. This prevents users from running webservers.

Wrong. The story linked in the article says:
They reached a strange agreement for an argument about personal privacy: In lieu of showing ID, Gilmore would consent to an extra-close search, putting up with a pat-down in order to keep his personal identity to himself. He was wanded, patted down and sent along.
As Gilmore headed up the boarding ramp a security guard yanked him from line. According to court papers, a security agent named Reggie Wauls informed Gilmore he would not be flying that day.
"He said, 'I didn't let you fly because you said you had an ID and wouldn't show it,' " Gilmore said. "I asked, 'Does that mean if I'd left it at home I'd be on the plane?' He said, 'I didn't say that.' "
Which one do we believe???
About what does it go when evaluating?
Well..uh...I do believe that the Cassini-Huygens launch date was back in 1997 so I thikn we can forgive them for not using 5 megapixel cameras on the probe seeing as how they didn't exist

Quote from Laser Safety Information
"Class 3B lasers are very likely to cause damage to the eye before the aversion response operates."
The pilot could afford a few seconds without vision (hell he could get up and do a dance)
But a laser can burn the retinas causing temporary blindness which may last a little longer than the fuel on the plane can
Well, assuming you're running a modern operating system (Linux, OS X, FreeBSD) and you know how to use the cal program...

Ah ha! Time for tinfoil carry-on bags for just this incident
There may be plenty of women on television as attractive as Alyssa Milano, but were any of THEM on Who's The Boss in 1984?
Oh how I had a crush on her back then
If I had mod points you would be getting a few funny modifiers.
Oh and I watched Pi about a month ago and your quote is right on!
Water + sun = plants & oxigin = food. Simplified "equation".
And I always thought that oxigin = hangover tomorrow
That's awesome! I searched for: "OpenOffice.org has been translated to Swahili" on Accoona and I noticed this littel tid bit at the top of the page:
Spelling suggestion: OpenOffice.org has been translate to Swahili
I really think that there's nothing to worry about
