Wouldn't it be better if the handbags had a key compartment, and a cellphone compartment, with nice painted icons on the covers?
Oh no, they had to add expensive solar cells. Look if you want light on the freaking bag, why not just make it transparent on one side, or maybe add a stupid PLASTIC WINDOW instead of the solar cell?
Sheesh! Someone please delete this story as they just did with the "Windows broken" story a few minutes ago.
In all my experience, older employees become mentors to the new recruits.
Speak for yourself. Here in Mexico people over 40 aren't hired *AT ALL*. No matter how much they might know. And there's no way to sue the companies because there's no way to PROVE they didn't hire you for your age.
Someone i know had to give maintenance to a program written in xbase. Problem is, the author encrypted it and protected it against decompiling. Actually the problem is that the author can't be contacted anymore. So the best strategy was to reverse engineer the program (i.e. look at what it does) and do a complete redesign.
I just wonder how much this will cost for large scale programs...

You forget that people participating in this usually have their personalities and mental health destroyed so they can participate in this shit.
This is just like some pedophile telling: "Look! He's smiling, he's enjoying it! It's not that bad after all". I could bet my life that the women or men doing this kind of porn have been previously tortured either physically or mentally (something that, of course, is _NOT_ shown in the videos). Producers of this crap should be sent to jail.
Now if we could only be successful in finding intelligent life in Washington DC
That reminded me of a joke: This menacing-looking alien goes to Washington, and lands on the whitehouse gardens. The president is having a walk in there. Then the alien says to him: "I want to speak to the supreme ruler."

(Hmmm weird, the next time i ran the validation it only gave me 12 errors). Anyway, that's all - considering slashdot used to have around 300 errors, this is quite an advancement. The first errors are probably a missing opening <form> tag.
A workaround (tho I don't know how effective) would be replacing the freshmeat data with an IFrame:D to keep the errors hidden. muahahahaha.
It's not that easy, the space elevator is supposed to work because it has (will have) a counterweight on geosynchronous orbit that keeps the elevator in place. The space elevator is more like a string tied to a balloon than a wooden stick.

I wonder if they can corrupt "battlefield earth" in such a way that it would be actually watchable....
No, you need a Scientology Auditing to adjust your enjoyment levels.
If the airwaves are so full of "crap", then why are so many of us downloading those crappy TV shows from the internet?
Maybe because...
2. They burn them in DVD's for their friends
3. Profit!!

Suppose there is intelligent life in there, what will they think of earth creatures?
"Amazing! The third planet creatures support temperatures so high that none of the titan lifeforms could withstand. Let's call them extremophiles".
Kinda makes you think...
Is it round? :)
Is it big?
If not, call it planetoid. Ta-da!

You just passed the initiation test. Welcome to Slashdot!
..how these people use "employees and children" in one sentence. It's as if they think the two are nearly synonymous.
Depends on two conditions:
a) Are the children over 18, and
b) Do they live in their mothers' basement?
"It is free, voluntary and for private use only and does not tip off any antipiracy organizations."
When you release the source code, I might believe you.
Let's teach them computer jargon the fun way!
explicitly forbid to use digital devices while on the train? Ta-da, end of "problem".
I do some parsing. But instead of XML, I use the HTTP-headers format.
My-var1: Something
My-var2: (Something_base64_encoded)
Has been pretty useful for me.
Cleaner code than the rest!

Just make sure you TIDY it, or it won't work
Wait a couple of years more, while all the Firefox vulnerabilities get patched. Meanwhile, Microsoft's browser keeps going and going and going...
In other words, Firefox's model converges to security. Microsoft's doesn't.

Hu hu hum....

Firefox exploit released! An exploit for the just-patched Firefox has been released...

It doesn't validate, anyway. The ampersands aren't escaped.
