Interesting, I thought the black ones were the best dogs.
Lets be frank, when I head into the restaurant and walk out a huge pile of marinated "chicken" for about $0.30/lb, I understand it's almost certainly not chicken. It's the alley catch of the day, rats,cats,maybe dog. I don't care, it tastes fine.

I'm not seeing that stupid image/text thingy today, so I imagine the +5 posts will return shortly.
It would have been released, free as in speach style, when they were done analysing the data. That's how government funding works. They have cash for a certain number of years, and renewed funding depends on publications from the data collected in the previous round of funding.
One bad publication, and you won't be getting more funding.
The information would have been free, but now it's been taken hostage by a googler and forced to stand in front of a firing squad, without the scientist saying "our data is bullet proof, fire away"
Scientist recieve funding to collect and analyze data.
Rushing a pile of shit out the door to satisfy some nerd living in his mom's basement is not the scientific way. Data collection, data analysis, peer review, and publication takes time.
The next round of funding will be based on publications from the data collected.
One piss poor "discovery" rushed to press is a career ending mistake.
Saying the scientist are with holding information is an arrogant statement. Their careers depend on publishing the data, once it's been looked at carefully.
How big is the diameter of this planet ??? I imagine the scientist would have liked to have had this information, plus a first approximation of the composition of the new planet before going public.
The group who wrote the grant application to get the funding to aquire the data has every right to that data, and it's analysis until they publish it. Then it become public and benefits everyone. This group of scientists have already shown, to a board of reviewers, they have the insights, equipment, and experience to do the analysis, and that is why they are being funded to do the research.
When kids learn to read, they sound out each letter. Then readers progress to sounding out each syllable. Advanced readers can read in words instead of syllables, and no longer sound out each piece. Really advanced kids read in phrases and sentences.
Perl is like learning to read two languages at once. One needs to develop proficiency in regular expressions, and the Perl language itself to be able to read Perl script effectively.
Most of what people bitch about is the regular expressions, and not the Perl itself. Yes, the syntax might be tweaked on the Perl implementation of regular expressions, but if you understand them well in another form, it's not mind boggling. The tight integration of regular expression and a programming language leads to elegant problem solving methods, and I appreciate them the same way I appreciate a koan.
Once someone can read and write, they seldom use the same expressions as someone new to a language. This only further alienates newbies and adds to the theory that Perl is unreadable line noise. Perl is Perl, and one either gets it or they don't. No amount of formatting will make it any clearer if the reader only knows baby speak for either regular expressions or the Perl language.
Unix programmers like their code like the old legos. Each piece might be a different size or shape, but the bottom of one snaps onto the top of another and the ordering and number of pieces used is left as an excercise for the reader. With experience, anything can be built with the pieces, and yet each piece is simple and easy to understand.
Windows is like the new lego sets. You get specialized premolded parts suitable for one specific task, plus two or three additional add-on pieces that give the illusion of being fully configurable for any task. You can build anything you want with the new legos, as long as you only want to build what is on the cover of the package.
I'm so glad I was able to figure out how use a library card in college.
Most students never figured out that the texts books were available to be checked out. Library late fees are a joke compared to the cost of buying the books.
I think you need to let the camcorder know that you are the boss. It sounds like you are treating your equipment like it is fragile, and it's adapting to meet your expectations.
I've had a hi-8 camera for almost a decade now, I just throw mine in the backpack with all my gear, and it's held up with no problems.
If you don't need DVD quality video, just get a hi-8 for $50 and hit the road.
The lack of flicker is a lifesaver for me, and I won't ever go back to a CRT for analysing text for hours on end.
My eyestrain has virtually disappeared since I switched to LCD.
And people who need to readtext for 8-10 hours a day will stay with LCD.
Just depends on what your computer is used for, both still have a place and CRT will be available for a long time.

Secure burning means iPod users have no motivation to purchase music from SONY, when an unencumbered version will be available on p2p networks within hours of the cd reaching the public.
I think it wreaks of desperation. MS isn't the new thing anymore, they are the big bad monopoly. It's not easy to market as the big bad guy, so they want to be seen like IBM,the former big bad guy that's getting attention over OSS commitments. Plus that whole SCO thing didn't crush linux as expected, and longhorn is getting poor reviews. People are frustrated with poor security ruining they computers.
In the past MS didn't even give a phukene reach around as they embraced the competition, and now they are offering to reach out ?
I just don't really care have microsoft reach out. They carved out their solitude with monopolistic practices, and now they can deal with the consequences.
No way, I was actually looking for the new MacOS X 10.4 "Tiger" and Google new exactly what I was looking for.
If I wanted tiger direct, I would have typed in supplier of motherboards and other computer hardware at great prices with shoddy customer support.
But now that Tiger Direct has made their point , as a consumer I need to make this crystal clear.
I will not order products from a company I perceive to be using the legal system to milk money from innovators. I had heard of tiger direct before this. I've done business with tiger direct, because they had decent prices on a motherboard I wanted. I will remember tiger direct as that company I don't wish to do business with from now on, as they use underhanded tactics to profit from the buzz of another company that would never be confused with their own products offerings.
Naw, this is the geurilla version of that fight. It's underhanded and shady. It requires nothing more than meeting someone who knows someone and turning in the name and address. There is no need to organize massive amounts of capital to buy a vote. No need for a heavy organizational infrastructure.
I think the RIAA and MPAA, and the government can be played against each other by placing their kids in the middle.
I'd suggest we start hunting down filesharing criminals related to senators, representatives, the president and his staff, lawyers, leaders of corporations, and members of the **AA.
might as well add the pastors children to the list too.
The only way I can see the stop laws like this is to send the ruling class's children to prison.
I think you are looking at having a charger in the home, at the office, and in the car, if you want to listen to music half the day.
I'd guess the battery goes does in about 5 hours of use.
Sounds like the type of idea that, with a nice CG presentation, could get some people to sign over some cash. Get the venture capital, transfer the funds offshore, and close the company.

give money to the private sector Yes, Of course ! Then they can use our money instead of having to fund their own damn private enterprise !
Not trolling here,

Yeah, that's it in a nutshell.

I can think of one group who cares, the advertisers and marketers.

Here's the solution I came up with for my users.
Take some card out of your wallet. it could be a health care ID, a drivers license, business card, etc.
pick a column or diagonal through the text.
Voilla, a password you can carry with you.
Suprisingly effective at generating hard to guess passwords.
1) Those who have lost data
2) Those who will loose data
An appropriate backup system would render this extortion powerless, albeit inconvenient for most home users.

/. get for posting to this guys online journal ?
Is that what slashdot is pushing as News for Nerds these days ?
How much of a kickback does
Sad.

You can tell by all the support being given to users of this particular Tiger that it's not tiger direct.
No way, I was actually looking for the new MacOS X 10.4 "Tiger" and Google new exactly what I was looking for. If I wanted tiger direct, I would have typed in supplier of motherboards and other computer hardware at great prices with shoddy customer support.
But now that Tiger Direct has made their point , as a consumer I need to make this crystal clear.

A user who doesn't understand /dev/hda should do some remedial linux reading before installing any linux system.
I was thrown off by the BSD naming scheme for partitions. 15 minutes reading the literature saved me hours of headache.
I've come to associate "easy to use" with crippled functionality for the benefit of people who don't like to read.
Sounds like the type of idea that, with a nice CG presentation, could get some people to sign over some cash. Get the venture capital, transfer the funds offshore, and close the company.
