It might be interesting as a producer / director to "play" the military by promising a "propaganda piece" and delivering something else after "full cooperation" and the cost associated with it is delivered...

And indeed interms of how fast they can see a page / site the way the site would like them to - quick rendering with JS / scripting - "their internet" is quicker with Chrome. The various parts of Chrome complete their jobs faster than FF and IE.

Well, where's your patent, pal? You blew that one! You could have been a BAZILLIONAIRE but instead you're just sitting there in your bathrobe on a Saturday morning typing comments no one is interested in into Slashdot...
Oh, I'm sure bonch, that had they spent all that cash-ola on Microsoft licences, you would be quite fine with it. What with you being on the Microsoft payroll and all.
Ever met Ballmer in private? Who's you Microsoft "handler"? What division handles your briefings? The marketing folks? Do they send you self destructing audio file?
You realize that our elected officials in D.C. are capable of dealing with more than one issue at a time? There are probably many 1000's of bill that get written, debated on, tabled and passed every year.
When the professional users say something more contructive than "I've used it for two minutes - the menus are in the wrong place - why isn't it photoshop"
Every time there is anything posted about GIMP the entire comments consist of nothing but people complaining that it is not photoshop. What does it contribute to the discussion?
The reason people complain is that they really *WANT* to get away from Photoshop and its 600$+ price tag (no everyone can get away with using a pirated copy), but the Gimp Team will not prioritize features that *professional* users want.
Are they features that *everyone* (or even most) users want? Maybe not, but before Gimp can gain widespread acceptance among the various *professional* users, the Gimp team needs to set a high priority on addressing their needs.
And this would be a good thing, many of those people whining about Gimp desperately want to dump Photoshop - It just isn't possible with Gimp in its current state.
And, they lame-assed come-back "It's Open Source, why don't YOU write some code" is, well, lame and doesn't really need addressing.
We're looking for a new place to put the main site. Perhaps it could move to our other server, connie.slackware.com (in which case we need a PHP guru to port it to the latest version).
Your site is nothing but TABLES! Maybe intead of porting it, you should use one of many many Open Source (TM) CMS that use more modern web standards...
They occasionally try to sue business with "Olympic" in their name. It has happened several times here in Washington State, where we have a large chunk of the state called the "Olympic Peninsula", and thus a lot of businesses with "Olympic" in their name. A few years ago they tried to tell some dry cleaner out in Port Angeles (in the Olympic Peninsula) that they could not call themselves the "Olympic Cleaners".
I wish to make it absolutely clear that the reason this is *not* the "First Post" has nothing to do with Lesbian Amazons. Nothing, so please get your mind out of the gutter.
Does technology *always* provide a better solution? I own an iPad, but really, a yellow pad and a pen and pencil are what I use at meetings and conferences...

Retrieval of that free backup costs a whopping $25.
Think about that statement for a minute...
OK, if you want two centuries of music in the mold of 1972 be my guest.
Ah, the zenith of popular music. All else since is garbage.
And please pull your damn pants up.

At what point does corporate America get the clue that people will actually start leaving over this kind of penurious legal system?
When such a thing actuall happens? Apperently not yet or even any time soon...

Er, yes... Now I'm off to innovate!

How much time a day do you spend astroturfing?
Just wondering...
Don't they have something better to do?

238) Stop forcing Palestinians into walled-off ghettos.
There are plenty of "Palestinians" living outside Gaza in Israel. Nobody is "forcing" them to live in the ghetto that Gaza is.
If Slashdot employed real journalists then it would've had the scoop months ago. Instead Slashdot is just another referral farm.
You are aware that Slashdot is not, has never been, and has never said or implied that it is a primary news source?
It's a, you know, discussion blog based on user submissions? Hell, I don't think there is any evidence that Slashdot even employs any editors.
Wow, what an impolite little shit. This way on the Intertubes, but I'll bet you're a PUSSY face-to-face... So typical.

Clearly you haven't really been listening.
21 inches = 0.5334 meters, *not* 1/2 meter.
Not a big difference, but significant for mounting equipment...

Fuck 'em.
Your 2012 Charger almost certainly already has a "black box" as do most cars built since the mid 1990's.
Speaking as someone who works with pilots every day, no. When it's time ti punch out, it's time to punch out. The AC is toast by then.

A lot of people seem to operate under an ethic of "whatever I can get away with".
Yes, that seems to be Best Buy's position...
And then also the issue of some GC's have expiration dates.
Maybe and maybe not.
Many states do not allow Gift Card expiration.
