I sort of agree. I have talked to a few people who do nude or adult modelling who have reached a point of maturity about the issue to where they are happy with what they do and are not bothered by the fact that a significant portion of their audience is, well, lusting after them.
They are very appreciative of the portion of their audience that appreciates them as human beings and not objects; that's the same portion of the audience that gets off by enjoying the pornographic atmosphere in a deep way, rather than just ogling over eyecandy. SG actually tries to cater more to that type of person than the pr0n-hoarding AOL'er.
But, I don't think a link belongs on slashdot, given that MANY people read/. from work (for better or worse).
I also think it's unfortunate that a fair bit of the amateur porn out there is a bunch of desperate girls in college who can't afford their tuition, but, I'm not really sure what to do about that social issue, and I don't thing censuring porn (and thus pushing it farther underground, which some claim is a factor in the harm of voyeuristic child abuse (kiddie porn) and teenage drug use.. err... somehow that didn't come out right (legalizing those things doesn't make them harmless, obviously), but I hope you know what I'm trying to say) is going to fix the problem, though...
Some versions of netscape pop up javascript errors, and a few versions won't show things correctly. But, most older versions of IE and netscape do render the page in a mostly usable form with a decent appearance. If you can provide examples, though, I'll be happy to check them out (and probably the/. guys might even try to get their page to be usable and more presentable for that browser+version).
It's illegal for USians to do so, but, for those who don't care about violating the law but just like collecting things they shouldn't have, start your recursive wgets from http://gutenberg.net.au/plusfifty.html now!
(Note: since this activity is illegal, you should not be doing it; it is clearly outside of common sense to engage in it, and any sane person will see the humor in my sarcasm; therefore, my statement does not advocate this illegal activity. And if we had speech which was more free, I wouldn't have to post this stupid disclaimer.)
The/. admins admit they can't bring their HTML up-to-date and up-to-spec because (a) they are busy with more important things, (b) some older browsers (And they get a fair # of hits from them) dont parse some "Correct" code---in fact, certain styles of coding have been left intact on/. for years so some older browsers will display the page more correctly.
Or something like that. Can't find a link to it now, but I know i've seen this info on the site somewhere.
Also, don't forget - not working as root (set up sudo!) - keeping online* and offline backups - keeping a bootdisk/cd - keeping a knoppix cd around - setting up all editors when run by root to create backup files when any file is edited

I think we should start tagging anyone suspicious with a No-Drive act. We should screen everybody much more carefully for a license, set up roadblocks every mile or so where officers can decide whether or not to allow you to keep driving. Additionally, for everybody who has a license, the cops should be able to search zor houses anytime, for any reason. Also, drivers should not be allowed to own cell phones. It should be illegal to have a stereo in your car, and it should be a felony for a car's driver to engage in conversation with a passenger, or through the window to other drivers or anyone outside of the vehicle.
See! It's a good idea I swear No ulterior motives here </sarcasm>
Yes, though, I was under the impression that the recent court rulings had pretty much said fucking arund with your own antennas is OK, within certain limits.

my school has a few incorrect ones. there *is* a wireless network. the school provides multimedia equipment upon request (And they have a fair bit of it to spare).
If I am able to do the following: 1: Tape a program and watch it later 2: Watch it multiple times with no additional charge 3: Pull out and process frames and streams to use 4: View program at any time 5: Compare two parts of the same program to see how they differ, by viewing them side-by-side 6: Compare parts of different programs in the same manner
Then I might consider that the change is OK. But, I want my simultaneously-aired programs, re-runs, screen captures, late-night viewing, and side-by-side comparison... and, in some professions (yes, I know this deviates from the consumer world, which is the focus here), these types of tasks are a necessity.

The extraterrestrials that do not exist and have not lost a craft near Area 51 were not hovering nearby, not looking for gullible tabloid-readers and not finding none.
There were no pipers a-piping, no dancers a-dancing, no maids a-milking, nor milks a-expiring on in grocers' refridgerators.
Something was indeed missing in the little town of.
In fact, more than just the name of the town was missing. All forms of life in were missing. All signs of human, animal, and plant activity had long since abandoned the streets, houses, shops, parks, and sewers of.
The Deletes had won the war.
It had all started when a research project to design a better, more efficient computer keyboard had gone haywire. The prototype's claim to fame was an auto-delete functionality that automatically removed anything imperfect.

Computer Shopper has decided to let 'The Hard Edge' go after twelve years and two months of 'edgy, sarcastic, reader-centric columns' by Alice and Bill.
Well, I would let them go, too, if, after twelve years, they had only had two months of edgy columns!

Best thing I've found is Simpy. It's not quite a bookmark synchronizer, but it does give you access to your bookmarks from any browser that supports cookies, and there are javascript bookmarklets that make bookmarking and searching for bookmarks a breeze.
Short commands are easier to type, especially on slow TTL hardware where several context switches have to happen for every single keystroke.
Early unix also had a 12-letter filename limit. I don't know if that included the NUL or not; if it did, then resolv.conf makes sense, since you might want to make a backup copy named resolv.conf~ or such. Also, early fortran had a 6-letter symbol name limit; this might be the reason for creat (so _CREAT would fit within the maximum 6 letters?)
DISCLAIMED: Just some ideas, dunno if any of this is correct!
But, if you get the angle wrong, the stuff *could* re-enter the atmosphere (although, most of it would fry on the way down, but, what if some large chunk of metal manages to make it mostly intact? it would be moving pretty fast...); or, it might bounce off of the atmosphere, and fly off into space or enter some sort of bizarre orbit that may one day bring it into a crash path with other satellites.
Actually, when I was little, even a cup full of Coca-Cola would make me shake violently. It took my family a long time to figure out what the hell was wrong with me... I would go to birthday parties or something and drink soda, and if I drank Sprite, I'd be fine, but if I drank Coca-Cola, I'd start having near-seizures about twenty minutes later.
Finally a couple doctors suggested that I just had an acute nervous sensitivity to stimulants, and that I should avoid significant doses of caffeine, at least until my body matured. Now that I'm in my twenties, I can drink cup after cup of espresso, and I generally won't feel a thing, although if I'm tired, sometimes it does make me a tad shaky.

Whether or not global warming is a consequence of human folly, the point remains that humans have the power to cause drastic changes.
With great power comes great responsibility... that should be obvious.
It was a stark and dormant night.
The owls weren't hooting.
The mice weren't squeaking.
The inept weren't buying lottery tickets.

Good point. Those quantities have more depth than a single dimension. Use a grid.
Oh, yeah, but, I meant, is there actually a MythBusters episode about exploding toilets?
myth busters link?
see here -- 6 letter limit in early fortran, perhaps "UMOUNT" was preferred over "UNMUNT" or "UNMOUN"?
No clue if this is correct, but its a thought...
Short commands are easier to type, especially on slow TTL hardware where several context switches have to happen for every single keystroke.

But, YMMV. Everyone's body is different.
