Don't be a fucking moron. Why would one bother to encode the information inside the dot. What they are probably doing is using several dots and the information is encoded in the number of dots used, plus the distance from the first dot (think bar code).
See, the 8 ms response is a response time to fully turn an element on. The response time talks nothing about the time it takes for an element to fully fade out when turning off.
There is a huge difference between a common thug who blackmails small businesses with offers of "protection" and mafia. Mafia are circles that you can't get out of no matter how hard you try.
The terrorists have won again, not because they killed 50 people with some bus bombings, or 2,000 people with a few planes, but because their random acts of murder make our leaders think that they can make the world a better place by taking away freedoms.
I disagree. The terrorists have won not because of that but because their actions led to different governments making steps in the direction that the terrorists wanted.
(See recent withdrawals of troops from Iraq by different countries -- and no, it does not matter that they were announced before the London events, they are still what the terrorists actually wanted to happen anyway. Therefore, these radicals will perceive them as proof that their actions helped the change and therefore are a great reusable method of intervention in world politics.)
No, I don't want citizens of different nations to continue killing civilians in countries with oil, I would want them out of Iraq tomorrow, all of them. But the way things are going right now unfortunately send a very encouraging signal to terrorist radicals.
alleged means someone says he did it, but no-ones offered any proof of that. It they had any proof, they would have pressed charges. Instead, all they have is circumstantial evidence.
This is exactly one of those things that I am personally afraid of.
There are messages and posters on NYC the subway (for some time already) saying "If you see any suspicious activity, do not hesitate to notify a police officer or an MTA [=Metropolitan Transit Authority] employee".
What one needs to realize that this, combined with the revived Patriot act means that any stupid moronic idiot, any person who doesn't like your fucking face, any one who thinks that having a beard and a turban makes you a terrorist, and any other misguided, misinformed or otherwise fucked-up-in-the-head person can be the sole cause of your absolutely legal detention (not unlikely a permanent one).
Because based on current law, it's enough for the police to receive a tip and they have all the rights they need (most likely even a "probable cause", but IANAL, so I can't tell exactly) to take you off the streets.
When in NYC, I am afraid to ride the subway. Not because of terrorists or the government, but because of ordinary everyday people who with their fucked up mind have the power, motive AND opportunity to literally ruin your life!
every country should have the right to be able to end people into space
"Should"? "Right"? Are you sure you're not confused? More importantly, don't confuse the/. readership with statements that try to blur the distinction between "right" and "privilege".
The idea is to make the legitimate methods more attractive and less hassle and the record companies are slowly succeeding. Now just imagine if they had listened to all of us and done this years ago when they should have instead of suing everyone.
I disagree with this propaganda.
Suing everyone was exactly one of those things that contribute to making the legitimate methods "more attractive" (i.e. building the "I know I won't get sued if i use this" attitude).
"Damaging energy exchange". I think it means accident.
It sounds more like "damaging energy exchange", at least in a corporate environment, would mean an interpersonal conflict that does not produce anything useful, and only results in two people no longer being able to get along well after shouting at each other in an obsessive explosion of emotion.
For at least a somewhat representative sample, one one need to add: Yahoo HotJobs, Monster, Dice and CareerBuilder. And maybe then we can start talking....
That was four words, you dumb fuck. Just because there is an apostrophe doesn't mean it is one word. The apostrophe only shortens the second word. It's still a word.
To get full internet connectivity, you have to be on a service plan with one of the 1xEVDO cariers. Currently, those are: ACS, Alltel, Sprint, Verizon, Bell Mobility (Canada), New Zealand Telecom (New Zealand), Telstra (Australia, even though they are still upgrading).
One of the problems is that 1xEVDO does not contribute to the 3G convergence and really is a fork of a protocol. While 1xRTT is there for CDMA2000, GPRS and EDGE work on GSM-based networks. 1xEVDO seems like a very minor standard in terms of adoption, and its only benefit is lower capital needs for deployment. However, it does not really scale long-term.
To me personally, it seems 1xRTT and EDGE will eventually prevail.
Anyone hanging around my place ould be confronted within 20 minute. I'll offer help if they need it but I'll darn sure they know that someone has seen them and made a note of their presence. They stay there longer than what seems appropriate without a good reason, they can explaing themselves to the local constabulary.
It is none of your fucking business to decide how long is "appropriate" and what a "good reason" is for a person standing in a public place to be there.
If you believe a crime is being committed, feel free to notify an officer of the law and step back.
Unless you can cite specific criminal laws that would exist in your area that prohibit movement of persons in public areas, kindly please shut the fuck up.

I'm not photosensitive (i.e. gets sick in the presence of flickering lights such as fluorescents and low refresh rate CRTs).
Photosensitive? So you have a reaction in response to light. Any light.
Or did you really mean that you have a type of epilepsy called Lafora's disease...?
Sheesh, one would hope that people can be competent at least when describing their own problems that they have to deal with every day...

Once upon a time I had connections in the Russian mafia.
In other news, the bullshit rating of Slashdot was raised to red, after a poster declared that he used to have connections in the Russian mafia.
I am wondering whether it's already time to start considering you a stubborn moron.

They did add one-ways though. It must have happened recently. Only after they add exit numbers too will they be as good as MapQuest.

The ever useful Wikipedia says you are correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_space It should just be space. Outer space is redundant.
If you use Wikipedia, then don't mislead people about what it says (despite its ever-changing nature):
"The term outer space is used to distinguish it from airspace and terrestrial locations."
every country should have the right to be able to end people into space

What country keeps setting off bombs in Moscow? Uzbekestan or is it Checkizstan. [emphasis mine]
Maybe if you stop making up countries, your critical thinking might actually get some attention.
This a nice proof that the U.S. patent bureau will grant a patent on anything, you just need to try enough times.

WTF, editors....
This bastardizing of English knows no limits. It has come to Slashdot, too.
For a few years now, popular media have been using the word "before" where "in front of" was supposed to be used.
Maybe they are lazy and think 'I want one word, not three', but "before" ia strictly for describing precedence in time.
