I just got the T-mobile SIM through Straight Talk a couple days ago. I'm very pleased. I switched from T-mobile's $50 prepaid plan because it throttles you to 2G after 100 MB. I was unaware of this restriction on Straight Talk's plans... considering they advertise unlimited data with no restrictions.
If I'm streaming music (which I often do) I go well over these amounts. I fully expect to now pretty regularly now that I've got my Ingress invite.
In Preferences, on the General tab, check the box to prevent tabs from loading until they're activated. Almost makes Firefox feel like a lightweight browser.
I don't think I'll ever understand why people consider noisiness in a keyboard to be a feature. I consider it to be a bug. It's distracting when people around you are trying to concentrate. It's annoying and inconsiderate. I shouldn't have to wear earplugs around you just to get my work done.
I'll gladly turn in my geek card if it means I can get some peace and quiet while I work. Have fun with your nostalgia on your own time; please don't force me to partake of it, too.
If you miss being non-monogamous so much, you should've stayed that way... I don't think it's far-fetched to expect the Slashdot crowd to grok alternative lifestyle choices.
It uses "not new" technology to select words with 50% accuracy from a list such as "yes" and "no"...really. (Okay, it hits 90% accuracy with only two items and goes down to 48% with 10.)
In other news, you can use P300 responses picked up with a $300 off-the-shelf over-the-hair EEG receiver to select from a grid of visual stimuli at a pretty good rate and with something like 95%+ accuracy (presumably nearly 100% with the sort of training that goes into touchscreen or voice activated interfaces). Those items can be letters, words, pictures...whatever. Anything quickly recognizable. Congrats guys, you just invented a crappy version of something I can buy for $300 which requires cutting open the person's skull and implanting things on the surface of their brain.
FYI, to whoever funded this, please give the lab I work at the grant monies next time. We'll make much better use of it.

But, some of us are old and jaded and don't get the whole social networking thing. Some of this stuff just reminds me of stuff I got bored with in the early-mid 90's and stopped using. Some of the technologies are the same, but it's largely the same inane gibberish as before.
I take it you're not one of the "old and jaded" who "don't get the whole social networking thing", considering you're participating on Slashdot, a social networking site centered around nerdy news articles?
The main difference is that the BSD gives developers the freedom to deprive users and other developers of the fruits of somebody else's labor. Whereas the GPL forces all developers to make sure everybody has the same freedom they had, or else.
The importance of this distinction depends on a developer's priorities. Would you rather play nice with the rest of the developer community and share alike, or would you rather take what you can get without giving back (or encourage others to do this)?

I'll let you know what my experience is like.

Also, this add-on helps mitigate Firefox's chronic memory leak problem: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/memory-restart/
The entire DoD network is one massive honeypot. All the real data is sent by carrier pigeon.

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

You liked Titanic and you know it.

Looks like somebody watched/read a little too much Dune!
I was expecting creamy Caesar dressing, not this thin, runny stuff! If this is what I wanted, I would have ordered Italian dressing! I want a refund!

I think you mean 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3, you berk!
Can you do better? If so, are you going to be contributing to the project?
I'd say that's its primary purpose. Artist recognition is more like a happy coincidental side effect.
Surely, you mean ,AOE.

When I first heard "teachbook", I thought about teachers teaching from books. See also "das Lehrbuch" in German.

Wait...

And less uptime!
The last time I used Fedora, it was as easy as using Debian. yum felt a lot like aptitude. No more dependency hell!
I'm surprised people actually give Oracle money.
Then why don't you say "Math's", since you're cutting out a piece in the middle of the word in order to abbreviate it?

What about those of us who say, "GOVERNMENT IS BAD, CORPORATIONS ARE BAD"... you insensitive clod?
