No it isn't: it gives an unambiguous message that you don't like any of the candidates. Failing to vote at all is a highly ambiguous message. The best solution would be to have "None of the above" as an option on the ballot, but while there is no such option spoiling your ballot is the only way to register a protest.
So do you think it should be impossible to choose to spoil your ballot, or do you think that the majority of spoilt ballots are unintentional, despite the fact that if you do accidentally spoil your ballot you can show it to the election officials and get a replacement?
MS can't drop ActiveX without redoing Windows Update - IIRC the article even points this out. It would be a pretty chunky service pack to totally replace the current update system, and they'd probably have to wait until the service pack after that one to remove ActiveX support in case the update-changing SP is broken.
I use an editor called SubEthaEdit because it's the nicest OS X editor I've found. One feature I occasionally use is concurrent editing of a document via Rendezvous. With this release, the SubEthaEdit team might produce a port to Windows soon, which would allow me to do concurrent editing with colleagues who use Windows.
I know. (I'm a British citizen, with a British driving licence, living in Cambridge). That's why I was struck by the apparent... *twigs*... anti-clockwise circulation in the middle. I mis-spoke earlier.
I call Photoshop. Maybe the bottom photo's simply been flipped, but I'll be astonished if it's accurate - everyone's driving clockwise round the middle roundabout. (Although either way, I hope I never have to drive through there.)

AIUI (IANAL, etc) British law allows the use of chalk for advertising (and leaving other messages) on pavements because it's non-permanent.
Comedy Central also produces the great The Daily Show, which I'm sure a few guests are upset they appeared on after it airs. (Host Jon Stewart recently jokingly asked on the show why anyone is still willing to appear).
Simple: they want the publicity. That's what killed the Ali G. show - once people knew who he was, only people wanting the publicity appeared on it, and it wasn't so funny.
Surely you do want the glass to shatter, but you want the entire pane to shatter into nice small circular chunks. This seems to be what current safety glass does nowadays, with the result that it causes lots of tiny scratches on your skin, but none deep enough to leave a scar. (I speak from the experience of a smash 4 years ago).
You can patent novel inventive industrial applications of the laws of physics. However, even the USPTO doesn't let you patent the laws of physics yet. (Pure maths appears to be patentable though - consider RSA).

I think it's fairly easy to argue that the notes are published, and it's therefore libel rather than slander.
Unlikely, unless it's left by an American tourist. London phone numbers are 6 digits.
No, those are warnings.

So make them a link to Firefox with the IE icon.
More confirmation that *BSD is dying?
I made the same mistake. Chicken is clearly superior - it was in use for bartering well before Monopoly money was created, let alone Microsoft money.
There's a way to find out. It's called the "Slashdot Poll".
Especially when we want them to do more than print "Hello, world".
I think the FAQ may have changed - I'm sure Rendezvous was the reason they were putting forward for not making a Windows port about a year ago.

It's not even self-consistent. The bugs can't be unique if they're in two products.

Off-topic, I know, but what kind of folder is it? I could use a new ring binder.
You realise that saying that on /. is setting yourself up to be the butt of a few jokes?
I, for one, welcome our new Torrent leaders.
