BGP is "an" exterior routing protocol, tho its more accurate to say that BGP is "the" exterior routing protocol
OSPF won't scale anywhere near what is needed for the internet. The BGP routing tables have O(100000) routes, and those are summarized to hell and back.
OSFP would so quickly fill up with external routes that your router would fall over quicker than a teenager at spring break.
With the exception of the plane that crashed in Philidelphia, the passengers had no reason to suspect that they were part of a suicide pact.
Pre-911 hijackers diverted planes to some airport or other, and issued demands until they got away or got shot. The death of a passenger was the exception rather than the rule.
Only a post-911 world do we equate hijacking with mega-deaths.
.. as long as its restricted during long haul flights.
Last thing I want is to be sitting next to some jerk who spends the whole flight yacking while I'm busy trying to adjust my body clock for the 10am presentation I'm giving on the next continent.
You, as a slashdot poster, are obviously not. Nor is my mother.
If you had to pseudocode the role of women in that generation, it would be something like:
do
cook
clean kitchen
breed repeat until dead
There is nothing in there about gaining technical competency. Most older women are not technically competant because its never been a part of their lives.
> Don't we remember being mocked and rejected by our classmates in school?
Yes. Vividly.
But then I also remember the look of horror of their faces as I burst into their homes in my SUV, an M16 in each hand, and blew their kittens to pussy heaven right in front of their eyes.
Bwahahahahahahah
On the Internet, troll is a slang term for a person who posts messages intended to create controversy or provoke an angry response rather than to add content to a discussion.
Your anime example question is "OffTopic".
"All Mac users are gay" is "Flamebait"
"Why would you want to use a mac anyway when Linux is so much better?" is a "Troll".
However asking about comparable processor speeds in a thread talking about how Mac has just released faster processors, is dead on topic.
"Which sub-group on Slashdot take themselves too seriously?"
My vote has to be the coders. Post a joke in a Perl thread, and you will be modded -1 flamebait. These people are obsolutely incapable of laughing at themselves. Maybe they should get out more.
Some of the Mac people here are almost as bad. This guy asked for a speed comparison between Intel and Apple procs. Sure, it may be a troll, but its not as obvious as the "Apple is (still) dying" thread.
At least the BSD guys usually post the obligatory "BSD is dying" message before anybody else gets a chance too.

I vaguely recall that range scales to the 4th power of power (no pun intended), but I could quite easily be talking through my arse.

Ok.. back to the coffee.
> colour photography down pat.
I should expand on that. Colour digital photography. Photo editing. All computer based. Scanning. Colour matching.
Stuff that her grandkids can't do.
> What a reductionist thing to say. My mom is in

Hey.. my Mum is also in that group, and she's got colour photography down pat.
I don't know where you are, but I'm guessing North or Coastal US, Western Europe or Australia.
For every liberated "grandmother", there are 10 more still living the traditional cook and clean role.
We haven't come as far as we'd like to think we have.
For anywhere between Denver, Colorado and Tierra del fuego, Chile, its a very different story. Italy is "the land that feminism forgot".
There is a lot of the world where Mum cooks, Dad works and if he even raises a hand to help, he's labelled weak.
The original post said "grandmother". Which, to my generation means probably pushing 50.
However, I am more that willing to concede that in less developed parts of the world (such as Arkansas) this could mean 28.

If your pipe was that big, you wouldn't _need_ porn.
Works fine in opera.
Have you got flash installed correctly?

Post your email address to slashdot, and we will all send you friendly emails.

They do if you hit them hard enough.

The only redeeming feature in the second one is that Natalie Portman didn't wear a bra most of the time.
... Slashdot was availble in 7 colours.
C'mon Taco,
This is the sort of story I'd expect from a less slashdot editor.
And of course, Timothy will dupe it tomorrow.
I mean, who would guess "Cadbury"?
> Funny, when I am at work, I work.
I'm a "System/Network Engineer" for a telco, which despite the description is a largely reactive job.
Which means 50% of the time I poke around the net looking for stuff... usually docuementation and neater ways of solving problems.
The other 50% of the time I'm in a mad panic doing the jobs of three people while pumped full of coffee.
So it all balances out in the end.

> This boggles my mind, I couldn't live without broadband.
At work: T3, DVD-Burner, USB Flash drive.
At home: USB port, DVD-reader. 56k modem for emergencies.
Total mantenance cost: around $4 a month on top of my phone bill.

What? You mean attempt to kill each other, sue McDonalds because eating it made you fat and posting random stupid comments to slashdot?
nah. too hard.

Troll?
Hey Taco:
I propose a new poll:
"Which sub-group on Slashdot take themselves too seriously?"
My vote has to be the coders. Post a joke in a Perl thread, and you will be modded -1 flamebait. These people are obsolutely incapable of laughing at themselves. Maybe they should get out more.

Imdb? May I suggest this or this to fully appreciate Ms Andress' .. um... acting ability.
