A lot of computer scientists seem to do this - it's very rare that I want to read a CS paper and I can't find a copy on the website of at least one author.

It's still jolly embarrassing when your younger sister puts a naked Barbie in your school bag and you don't find it until you're in the locker room surrounded by fellow male students.
It's amazing the things you need nowadays for an entry-level position: advanced understanding of half a dozen network protocols and UNIX. (I'm not sure whether their HR dept. think it's a network protocol or an application, but either way it shows that entry-level positions in HR don't require the common sense to run your ad past someone who knows what they're talking about to check its accurate).
> Where's the check and balance? There is none. Who could prove it? No one. Who can stop it? No one.
Where's the surveillance in your scenario? It made no sense to me whatsoever.
> Echelon, Big Brother surveillance, the Anti-Terror bill.
Echelon is comparable, but even Blunkett isn't trying to get surveillance cameras in our homes, and having surveillance cameras on the streets doesn't take away Habeas Corpus, so the other two aren't comparable.

Can anyone explain the impression some/.ers seem to have that everyone pays their taxes in dollars? Most people use the local currency...
When Slashcode starts spell-checking we may be able to retire, but until then the rate at which people are instructed in the difference between "lose" and "loose" is probably less than the rate at which people join/. and greater than the rate at which people improve their spelling.
The word you're looking for is mathematics, not science, and it's not a bad description of a non-deterministic Turing machine given that it's aimed at laymen who don't know what a finite state automaton is. I just wish he'd stop using the term "NP computer".

I'm not sure why my previous post was consider flamebait. Anyone?

P.S. Learn a lesson from Iraq: we may not like our current dictator, but that doesn't mean we'll welcome a US invading force with open arms.
If you hired a guy to beat someone up for you and you tape it, you're pretty stupid. That's creating evidence against yourself.
I find myself wondering why you need a gynaecologist if you don't have a boyfriend. No, wait: on second thoughts, I'd rather not know.
Doesn't your country have registered mail?

Why small? They might start thinking about things like file size, so have a moderately big one and use symlinks. Or do you have a bandwidth limit?
It appears to me that the remnants of a red stripe still exist at the top - I think it's just been carelessly trimmed.
I don't have a little dog, but if I had why would it want my data?
It might not be too hard to work out who did it. Besides, paint seems to be the attack of choice, albeit more often levelled at speeding cameras.

There's never a Welshman around when you need one.
I'm curious as to the causal link between education and high-capacity network use. Care to explain?

It has? Where?

When it comes to professional fireworks they've been set off electronically at a distant for a long time anyway.
Obligatory response pointing out the Slashdot is comprised of many people, some of whom like iterative jokes, some of whom don't.

You appear to be advocating security by obscurity. Please tell me I'm misunderstanding you.
