Slashdot's moderation system is what makes it unique. It's not perfect, but it works a helluva lot better than anything else. Oh, and yeah, the more mature audience (mostly:-P) helps too
Now watch me get modded flamebait or something:-P

Sure, but the basic site structure hasnt changed. It got prettier bars, some new cosmetics, a much needed update on various usability features and hopefully a new, working, css based threshold system soon. It looks a bit sleeker and less 90s, but/.s "look" hasnt really changed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt every Astronaut a nerd? How about any number of non-astro-scientists that I'm sure have been in space doing research?
I tried that with HSBC, they don't make the old non-RFID cards anymore. I finally got on the phone with a technical person there who basically gave me a "It's completely safe and we know what we're doing" sales pitch. Grrr.../
The screen is the most expensive part of the machine, and according to your own link the HP doesnt have as nice a screen (or vid card). Add to that the fact the HP one looks like crap (yes, you do pay for design, in anything you buy), and is heavier (which is a significant factor when you carry your laptop everywhere like I do), and the price difference doesnt look bad at to all to me...
Also, if you're there, you can probably stop it (by pulling the plug if no other way) before it hits/home or/Users which is where the important data is, I can always reinstall the system...
I have several hundred+ year old books and a couple multi-hundred y/o books. They've stood the test of time, I don't need to worry about not having the equiptment to read them, and have this sense of age that goes along with the wonderful tactile feel of books. I'm a computer peson, I spend a huge amount of time in front of a screen; while I can think of places where ebooks can/have been useful (places where storage of a lot of books is problematic, like on ships), normal reading is so much nicer with a real, paper book.
As a geek, I'd say it's most likely not that hard to write a script to dump the logs to plaintext regulary and thus avoid the problem. As a college student who still lives at home and still remembers HS/Middle School, I'm shuddering at my parents reading some of my IM conversations (particulary with my significant others). Thank god for enlightened, tech savvy (at least my father on the tech savvy bit) parents.
hate to say it, but if it's *that* critical, you *should* have 2 concurrent lines running, from different providers, on different trunks, with your servers set to fail over to the secondary if the primary dies...
The problem is they repeated the exact phrase twice in a rather short news story, presented as new info to the reader both times, a big writer's no-no...
Offtopic perhaps, but it seems these days Samsung releases new technologies/products at a really fast pace. Not only that, their products tend to upper-middle of the pack (good feature sets, reasonably reliable, priced a bit higher than some of the competition but worth it). Seems to me like Samsung is becoming the new Sony... Discuss:-P

Honestly, the support of ext2/3 in the current vers of OSX is abysmal, and I doubt itll be fixed in for 10.4 before 10.5 comes out. When I have ext2fsx installed on a Tiger system, it kernel panics every 20mins or so, not good at all. 10.3 support is awesome though, too bad I cant run 10.3 on any of my machines and actually do any work:-(. Really really hope Apple will finally incorporate ext2/3 support into 10.5.
In that case, wouldnt a usb cable hooked up to a PDA uploading the data via wifi to your studio machine work better than this anyway, range would be limited by your 802.11b/g/a router, not the crappy range this thing has...
your point does bring up an interesting question about totally simulated digital scenes then. Not so much an issue now, but as digital recreations become more realistic....
Havent been down recently (not counting the summer, when I'm not on the island) to the 4m as much as I used to, but still there quite abit. Speaking of the 4m, stony, and Robinson, he was actually at ICON25 last year:-P.
Fall sem starts in a few days, you should drop by if you're on the island and say hi! (just noticed you're in Canada from your blog, you should still stop by if you're in the area though!)
The wonderful thing about anything published by Baen is that free samples are almost always available. For example, the book you are talking about, you could have read the first 9 chapters of to see if you liked here. baen.com will give you links to their publishing sched, samples from almost all their books, and a number of free books curtesy of Baen's Library (tm)...

Because apple has made a bundle of money on the two things phones still desperately need:
1)Usability - Apple is very good at creating user friendly interfaces
2)Simple, streamlined design - Something which very few phones have these days
