Revenge of the nerds is the employment of math geeks to find all random sports statistics imaginable. Every game is the longest, shortest, or first in a long itme of something.
For someone with a low ID, you sure need a few clues about how the places actually works. Were you looking for kuro5hin?
- Slashdot chooses which stories to post. The editorializing in the story summary was the subject of the complaint - I can submit stories all day long and they'll never appear. - Slashcode chooses who moderates. You may as well tell people how to do well at slot machines.
in my dad's hometown of woonsocket, rhode island lots of older folks speak mostly french and thus have a couple weird sayings that pop out because of prepositional confusion:
"throw me down the stairs my coat" "next time you talk shut up" "how tall you weigh? tell me in pounds and inches"
But, the most important feature is just what you said...there's nothing special you have to do to use it...just plug it into a USB port and it's recognized as a USB drive.
that's not enough!
it needs to be able to sync to your itunes library automatically when you plug it in.
that's the case with most computers. a person can build a computer as fast and reliable as any pc dealer for less because you don't have to pay anyone to put it together. this should be elementary and obvious to anyone. you're paying for the convenience and/or know-how of someone putting that bits together and maybe providing a warranty.
XM Radio and Sirius are two companies who have started offering satellite-based audio for a monthly fee. you can buy a receiver for one or the other (usually in your car, but their are portable ones too) and receive the same content anywhere (in the continental US, i believe)
But in 1977, there was no movie ratings, but now we do have them. Because of this, if Han still did shoot first, the movie would have been rated R for "graphic violence and adult content" (murder). But with having Han shot at, it becomes clear self defence and is just "graphic violence".
What? The original Star Wars was rated PG, under the current system which started in 1968.
Unix predates C. In one of the prefaces of the K&R book, it notes that C was used to REwrite Unix, which was previously done in BCPL or B or something.
Just wondering - can Intel patent it's chip pin-outs / signal levels (not the internal design) in such a way other mfrs. cannot replicate the function?
I think it would be tough to patent signal levels, but didn't Intel try patenting the socket with the Pentium II?
You try to convince the 1400 recently laid off BBC IT staff workers that they couldn't have done this. Tell their children that they can't eat lunch anymore because you are willing to do it for free instead. Shame!
"However, workers have won a number of guarantees which it's hoped will smooth the transition, including a promise that their employment terms and conditions will remain unchanged for three years and no compulsory redundancies for 12 months."

I can build a comparable Athlon64 for about $500.
How long would it take (including the time spent shopping for parts), and how much would you expect to be paid to do it?
Make sure you spend a lot of money on the case, too.
and is that perfect? no.
it's hard to even get spam onto an RSS feed in the first place
It's a LOT harder to filter spam from USENET.
UDP has error correction (it doesnt have error correction).
Um?
It's also assuming that your music collection is small enough to fit on your music player, which is definitely not the case for many of my friends.
it's not the case for me either, but you can set the ipod to sync to a particular playlist every time you plug it in.

It's also poisonous because it's a heavy metal, radioactive or no.

that won't stop the problem of two submissions for the same article before either has been posted.
that looks more like a Gnome dialog box.
in rhode island, you can buy mustangs (cumberland farms' store brand) for just under 5 bucks before tax. it's less with your preferred smoker card!

In the state of Rhode Island (US), coffee milk (milk flavored with sweetened coffee extract) is the state drink.
