    So... use your own nameservers and park it yourself. That service is a courtesy.

    So it's taken them 6 years to pick through a 2000 page document, 'cleaning out the computer related annotations'?

    A single person could have had this cleaned up in a month or two with plenty of sanity to spare :/

    Off-topic...

    But did you really just link an SSL wikimedia page to slashdot? Not very kind of you.

    I'd also be curious as to why you'd browse something like wikipedia via SSL, but I tunnel traffic via SSH so I don't have much to talk here either :P

    Funny, most consumers I know don't have any problem connecting chargers and/or audio cables. An HDMI isn't any different...

    Unless Windows or Mac get their heads out from their asses and go cross platform. I'd prefer Linux myself, but either way it wouldn't be a bad thing. Wishful thinking all around.

    No kidding, isn't that like $1000?

    Oh, that's easy. They don't download the images and store them on their servers along side the nifty database!

    Sorry, that was intended to be a reply for this post.

    Slashdot has been mangling the "post indentation" on me over the last few days and is making it extremely difficult to tell who is who when the threads are more than 3 replies deep :/

    Yep, but I can bitch about your bitching about bitching of bitching.

    True, but can you blame the group for seeking a monosyllable word?

    I mean, homosexual doesn't just roll off the tongue!

  15. Re:Social change causes corporate insanity on Microsoft Suspends Gamer For Being From Fort Gay · · Score: 1

    In fact, the "lame" meaning probably came from that, rather than from the homosexuality aspect.

    Think about it....

    "Golly gee, Mr. Fancy Pants, this sure is wonderful!" ... lame.

    Now, substitute lame for gay.

    I don't care what your gender is or was, but this whole section below marks you strongly as a sexist.

    Of course, these same people couldn't do what we have to do to be ourselves - not for one day, never mind for a lifetime. Could you picture one of them even pretending to have "the talk" with one of their friends? Heck no! They'd volunteer to have their appendix removed without anesthesia first. That's "manly". Same as not asking for directions, leaving their dirty clothes on the floor, and not changing the toilet paper roll when they finish it - or leaving half a square neatly balanced on the roll so they can say they didn't "really" finish it. Come on you guys reading this, fess up, you do this all the time, and it bugs us that you think we're that stupid. It's 3-ply paper, and you leave a one-ply half square sitting there like an orphan, and you're hoping that when we open the door the draft won't blow away your sorry "excuse" for not changing it. You dissect the toilet paper, and then walk around all day making skid marks in your formerly-tidy-whiteys, rather than change the stupid roll of toilet paper.

    None of those things are inherently male. They are all either signs of not giving a shit, or insecurity. I've know plenty of women that do the same thing.

    ... and this gives you license to be a douche and take it out on people who have not done something against you?

    Er, no it's not.

    You know that, like it or not, male is the primary (and hence fallback) gender in most languages? It doesn't mean anything. That you get all bent out of shape over it tells something of your personality.

    Which is great, because most places I've lived that's entirely legal and never seems to cause a problem.

    The only time it wouldn't is should you randomly decide to shift right without LOOKING first.

    Nice example of a logical fallacy. Can you guess which one?

    Huh? What am I missing that makes this last bit make no sense to me?

    To answer your question, I believe it was an Embraer ERJ-145 as that was the craft we were discussing when the story was told to me... but I'm not 100% certain. Perhaps you could get through the door, but would you really want to risk it (or risk injuring yourself while you try?) - in this particular case, the "superman" FO could (barely) fly the plane, so it wasn't a huge deal. From what I understand though the guy was a real douche and didn't get a lot of real practice in (because it was 'below' him or something).
