I've never heard of this disease before, but I too must have it. I have to watch what I eat extremely carefully or I will become very sick. I cant eat gluten, wheat, white flour, white sugar, yeast and various other food ingredients that are found in 99% of packaged/produced goods. I have to cook all my own meals to make sure I know what i'm putting in my body. I used to be perfectly healthy, but years of eating nothing but McDonalds and junk food has caused my body to now reject anything that isn't healthy, which is good in a way. I hope your kids are doing well, just thought I'd support your cause..

Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Paint, Mr. Mario Dress-Up, Mario Party, Mario RPG, Mario FPS, Mario RTS, Mario D&D and last but not least, The Return of Mario.
I don't think it'll be a nail in the coffin for Sony. All my friends and I are waiting for the PSP to come out so we can play each other via wifi or bluetooth.
We could care less about the Nintendo DS (after all, we're all older then 21 now and playing Mario just doesn't cut it any more)
What ever happened to free speech? Don't these athletes deserve some respect? Without athletes, the Olympics and the IOC wouldn't exist, so their number one priority should be the athletes, not corperate sponsors.
funny, cuz americans are very similar to canadians in how they talk, there are just 2 differences...
Canadian: "How's it going, eh?"
American: "Eh, Hows it going?"
It's stupid, and un-american and it's only matter of time untill they harassed someone important.
I'm sure Ted Kennedy isn't the first "important" person they have harrassed. This was a while ago but it really pissed me off at the time, because this Canadian preaches tolerance and peace and yet Airport security had no tolerence for him because of his skin colour. He's not an important Senator like Ted Kennedy......But that shouldn't matter, because we're all equal and have the same rights, right?...
Warez groups seem to be able to crack every type of protection, whats to stop them from cracking this type of CD protection aswell?
Blizzard games have pretty good CD protection, you can burn a copy of the cd, and have a legitimate CD key. The burnt copy will install on another system, but once it comes time to play, the burnt CD isn't recognized as being the "play disc". My friend told me it's because there's some hidden serial number in the valid CD that doesn't get copied over when you burn the cd. Even this has been cracked as there are warez "patches" that allow you to play the game without a valid copy.
I cant't think of any CD protection method that hasn't been cracked, and surely, this "driver" protection method will be cracked within a month aswell.
It would be nice if there was a limit to the amount of emails someone could send every minute. Hopefully this would greatly reduce mass spamming. Most people take longer then 1 minute to write an e-mail, and they probably don't write emails once every minute either, so legitimate users shouldn't be affected.
I don't think 2 seconds is long enough for a "complex" calculation of the "hashcash token". They should find a way to make it take atleast 1 minute.. No real user sends mail every 2 seconds.
So if they disable ActiveX, will windows update break? Oh and Mcafee Antivirus uses IE and ActiveX aswell for program updates.
Maybe companies will smarten up and provide program updates through means other then the world wide web.
Why must they program the updater to use a website? Wouldn't it be more secure if a program downloaded updates via the company's private ftp server or something a bit more secure then an IE browser using ActiveX.
I rather download some Patch.exe manually from a companies website then have it use IE and ActiveX to "automatically" modify my system.
I cook breakfast on my GeforceFX 5600 Ultra indoor barbeque all the time. I may have to claim prior art!!
Seriously though, a game console that could cook would a good start for us slashdotters. Soon hopefully they will add a house cleaning feature and maybe hook it up to a real doll somehow?
Am I the only one that thinks $2.6 billion could have been spent on something more important then chess? How about the cure for aids or helping starving people? $2.6 billion...I mean wow, those chess board buildings better be made of solid 24 carot gold...
I suffer from several severe forms of anxiety, performance anxiety being one of them. This includes the simple task of signing your name infront of someone in a bank or elsewhere. It is really aweful when you can't even feel comfortable signing your own name when in the presence of someone else.
My signature changes regularly as I seem to mess up or I can't seem to do it the same every time, it really is fustrating.

This is great news! Go Canada! Another reason I am proud to be a Canadian citizen.

You forgot a few important Nintendo titles:
Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Paint, Mr. Mario Dress-Up, Mario Party, Mario RPG, Mario FPS, Mario RTS, Mario D&D and last but not least, The Return of Mario.

I disagree.. While the Nintendo DS will be great for kids 12 and under, the PSP will be the choice for true geeks (wifi, camera, bluetooth, oh my!)
Plus Nintendo will just end up recycling the same games they've been recycling for 20 years now... I can see it now...
Mario DS
Zelda DS
MarioKart DS
Super Metroid DS
Donkey Kong DS
Wario DS
Kirby DS
MarioPaint DS
MarioParty DS
While with the PSP, (which will use a 1.8gb optical disk), you can play games like Gran Turismo 4...Hmm, wonder what I will choose...

I am exchanging every single share of SCO I own for Google. In your face, Darl!
So 10,000 SCO shares for 1 google share? Thats a good deal IMO.
1) But, does it run linux?
2) Imagine a beowolf cluster of these!
3) In Soviet Russia...

Do you mean Microsoft? Oh wait thats cooperation without a conscious.
but I only have a 160 gigabyte hard drive and I don't have enough space to download the entire bug list.
Microsoft should make Patch CD ISOs available.
Hey, thats a great idea! We could charge $50 for the first update CD, and $25 for each consecutive bi-weekly patch CD.
Yours truely,

Only script kiddies use "ph" as a replacement for "f"...
Oh wait...

Just my 2 canadian cents...
There is an easy work around for sites that don't allow you to view the source or download content by disabling right clicking.
just change the url from http://www.somesite.com
to view-source://www.somesite.com
and hit enter...viola! a seperate mozilla window appears with the page's source code.
Also, disabling javascript in mozilla might prevent the site from blocking right-clicks aswell but I haven't tried this yet so i'm not sure...
