Didn't some fashions have the breasts completely out?
As we appear to be having a serious debate about women's fashion on slashdot, and thus probably causing a disturbance in the very fabric of space-time itself, could I lower the tone by saying "pix or it didn't happen"?
Yes, see. The world will be just fine even though there are 1%'ers -- we're still around today aren't we. No go make me money slave!
Electrons flow between positive and negative, gas moves from high pressure to low. Rich and poor are both equally important for progress -- these are the laws of the universe. The poor must exist.
Electrons and gas aren't intelligent creatures with free will, fuckface.
You missed the part of baffoon instead of buffoon... spelling nazi, can't be helped
Spelling in the past was a lot more hit and miss than today, even in Shakespeare's time, never mind the 15th century. A spelling Nazi 500 years ago would have quickly gone insane.
Since "Grammar Catholics" has no time-reference, I suppose a good version could be "Beware the Henry VIII Grammar Anglicans" instead ?
That makes no sense: the Huguenots were persecuted by and fled from Catholic France TO England and other Protestant countries.
You do know that Henry VIII created the Anglican church in opposition to Catholicism?
Come on guys, I know this is Slashdot, but have you really never seen a bra before?
To quote admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!"
Be careful before you answer, because mentioning your private collection of Victoria's not so secret catalog, will result in even less people willing to shake your hand.
Fewer. Sorry, pet peeve. Fewer of a distinct number, less of an homogenous mass.
- The towing capacity of the average modern car is about 1000 lbs (many actually explicitly state NO towing WHATSOEVER). This means that families owning a
house, where every couple of months you want to haul a large item home will need to oftentimes rent another vehicle for that purpose
Look, I'm not American, and I know everything is bigger (and so presumably heavier) there, but what the fuck sort of large items do you need to regularly tow that weigh over 1000 lbs? Other cars? Mobile homes?
If you're talking about tons of building sand, or whatever, do what we do in the UK and get them delivered on a lorry for you by a fat, bad tempered man from Jewsons who whacks the swinging hoist thing into your prize rose bushes..
He's just carrying on the slashdot tradition of making at least one spelling/grammar mistake in any post pointing out someone's spelling/grammar mistake.
What's unusual is that he was being a grammar Nazi towards himself which is strangely impressive.
Blah, blah, blah. Throwing a bunch of buzzwords together doesn't make a coherent sentence, let alone anything resembling an argument.
IIf you count "cell phone" and "desktop" as buzzwords, I can only assume you have just been released from a very long spell in solitary confinement. You are aware that the US landed a man on the moon, right?
There is an additional implication of elitism about it, as though the writer is saying "I do not have the time to write in English due to the fantastically important work I am doing, but I thought I would just let you mere mortal know that I find your ideas acceptable."
I also like unity quite a bit. I would like it more if it were stable. Coincidentally, just yesterday I worked on an old man's windows computer and he had his taskbar on the left side of the screen the way unity has it. He said he does it since all the screens are widescreen it makes better use of his screen.
Proof yet again of the superior customising facilities available on Windows compared to the one-size-fits-all approach of Linux. Hold on a sec...
In my unscientific taste tests (sample size - me and my kids) the cheapest cola you get in a supermarket tastes almost exactly the same as coke or pepsi once it's chilled/served with ice.
And if they're not chilled or served with ice, coke and pepsi also taste like shit.
I know this will seem like heresy to Americans, soz.
I'd rather they gave me the thing unwrapped in a carrier bag, less crap to throw away when you get home.
I don't think I have ever consciously kept any of the packaging for anything I ever bought. (Sometimes if there are alot of fiddly accessories like with a phone I might just to keep the unused car charger, headphones, sat nav holder, AV connector leades, foreign travel plug or whatever together) But a lot of people do, as you can tell when they sell stuff on eBay and apologise if they haven't got the original box.
in my job (IT) almost everyone is on facebook, and lots of fun and crazy stuff is shared every day.
What has your job got to do with it? Or are your bosses so thick they think you're working while you're on facebook, just because your job is something to do with computers?
So are you arguing that, if AGW were true, there would be a mass campaign of sabotage and terrorism; and that therefore, because there isn't, it's not ttue?
You don't think people might say to themselves "going to prison for ten years for blowing up a couple of trucks wouldn'tt actually achieve anything other than making those who accept AGW look like idiots"?
Clearly you didn't read any of the dishonest, unethical, plain nasty emails to and from the CRU people about people they didn't like.
Even if every single one of the scientists had been dishonest, unethical and plain nasty about their opponents, as long as the data was correct it's irrelevant.
What happended was an attempt at a sort of guilt by association: ooh look, some of those scientists said nasty things, so they're not perfectly objective god-like beings, so the probably just lied about their data as well.
Of course, we hear and see what fits only in our world views. Its why arguing politics and religion is such a fool's errand.
That's nonsense, anything can be argued about rationally, even religion. Otherwise we might as well give up with civilisation and go back to being nomadic hunter-gatherers grunting at the sky when it rains.
it is illegal to break into a private network and steal data
Unless discussing on/. and the target of the attack is fashionably disliked. It is *always* OK to steal data from: The US Government, Google/Microsoft/Apple, RIAA, Big Business, Republicans, Democrats, Rich People, Law Enforcement, stupid people, and, well, that means pretty much anybody.
I thought on slashdot we'd agreed that you could only copy-without-authorisation and not "steal" data anyway, since the information was still there available for the owner to use just the same as before?
I'm not sure we ever entirely cleared up the status of credit card information though.
Slashdot Mirror
I think this of interest to /. readers, as most have never seen a bra that has been successfully removed from a woman.
That's unfair, most of us, er, them have masturbated into a favourite cousin or sister's discarded underwear at some point. ..

This what? Finish your sentences.
It's the new "me too!" and just as irritating.

Cherry Coke was pretty good, although Dr. Pepper is better.
Drinking Dr Pepper is better than dying of thirst when you're too dehydrated to produce your own piss to drink, but that's about it.

Yea... G+ is kinda like twitter without the size restriction...
As the size restriction is the only interesting thing about Twitter, that's not a great recommendatin for G+.

Never mind, I developed clinical-level narcissism to handle the lack of attention which carries with it a sense of entitlement.
Welcome to slashdot, you'll fit in just fine here.
I didn't get much attention as a child and I have an entitlement complex. Explain that.
You're just a really annoying person generally?
STOP THE PRESS!!! Someone agreed with someone else on Slashdot. It's almost as if common sense prevailed.
Group hug everyone, c'mon you know you want to really.
I'm choking up, I really am.
Still having trouble with the terminology.
"Friend me" has entered the lexicon, but "Circle me" is kinda late to the punch.
How about "circle jerk me"? I can see that flying, as it were.
and that's often discovered by an insider or via social engineering.
Or just knowing that the mail server is named "mail.university.co.uk" and stores people's mail in "/var/spool/mail"
So it was you! You clearly have detailed insider knowledge.
So are you arguing that, if AGW were true, there would be a mass campaign of sabotage and terrorism; and that therefore, because there isn't, it's not ttue?
