Guys! I figured out who Anonymous Coward really is!
I use the countdown timer on my $20 cell phone to provide the same functionality.
Sometimes I acknowledge the timer and then forget though, so I am still planning on hooking the washer and dryer to the house computer (a sheevaplug) so that I can have something more persistent when the washer is done.
There's actually a lot of us that still hate flash. I think what you're actually seeing is that there are people in many different camps on slashdot, not all of which will comment on every article.
The other day I got sick of launch times of Firefox and so started disabling extensions. Worst offender: adblock plus. I was able to reduce it from roughly five seconds with a warm cache to half a second.
For a personal desktop, the user's account is all that matters. It would be a cake piece to then get the user's browse history, e-mail contacts, keystrokes, passwords (including root/sudo password), banking information, etc. as well as send spam, launch ddos, etc.
The summary says that "the idea is to completely book all Genius Bars" whereas it seems to me from the article they are intending to book only one session with each genius, ask some thought-provoking questions about the locked-down state of the iPhone, and then leave.
Give your Genius their score, your contact information (if you want) and your handout, along with any additional feedback you have about the defects in iPhone 3G. Thank them for their time, and quickly and politely leave the store. Outside the store, distribute some of the flyers and spend some time talking to people about these issues.
That will sync the disks, but it won't stop the database from accepting incoming data. It won't stop cron jobs which might be just about to trigger. It won't deal with tasks that are in the middle of a big operation which involves a lot of writing to disk.
How about this?
killall5 -19; sync
killall5 sends a signal to all running processes other than the current session's. Signal 19 is a SIGSTOP, it immediately freezes a process and cannot be caught or ignored.

But, to play purely devil's advocate -- if there truly was a creator-being...
I don't think you're advocating the devil in this particular case. :D

Classical music is worth so much that they give it away for free.

Please bring back the BLINK tag.
Perhaps this time around it'll be an abbreviation for a "Berners link". (That ought to cause anyone's eyes to close and then open again.)

That's crazy talk.
Wow, you just glew my mind!
37%? 37% even? Are you sure it's not 37.367%?
Yes, we're sure. 37.367% is way too high.
Great... Now even Slashdot comment threads are starting to have EULAs.
It's called The Fine Print. Except it if you dare.
Accept car accidents don't kill of entire ecosystems.
OK, I accept.

Too bad most of the paper I use is down where the sun don't shine.
I hope you are referring to your mother's basement.

It might be cheaper to just get a glass ceiling.
... of course, I make this suggestion under the assumption that you've finally moved out of your mother's basement.
I grew up in New Jersey (lots of light and air pollution), and was blown away on my first camping trip in upstate ny.
So what you're saying is that without the pollution it was much more windy?

How about this: if you sue somebody and lose (or back out, etc.) then you pay the defendants lawyer's fees as well as your own.
It's maybe pointless, but the slogan at the end is spot on IMHO:

Shouldn't that be eighth?
