Very few people avoid IE, update their software, have a firewall or any security smarts
Vista updates by default. It is nicely built into the shutdown interface. By default you "update and shut down" if an update is available. Firewall is also built in and seems to be relatively well designed. Very honestly I am impressed with Vista's default security.
The rest of your post I agree with. For example will this help my sister-in-law who loads every toolbar and screensaver known to man? Nope. If a user downloads flaky spyware software, there isn't an OS that can help. But Vista truly is a step in the right direction for the majority of folks who just want to browse and email.
It depends. If it is theory, I like a book. It gets me away from a PC where I am in a coders mentality. If it is coding, then I agree online is the way to go.
BTW, too many coders consider themselves programmers...
Ah... I see the issue. I know this is hard to comprehend, but I hear of this group of people called "outsiders". For some reason, these people don't always sit in front of a computer. They go outside (hence the name). They do things like stand on objects that are buoyant in water and catch aquatic animals.
They go to large gatherings to hear poor versions of music (with all the ambient noise, I don't understand why they don't just put ona pair of headphones and listen on their PC).
They go to large wooded areas to get "fresh air" and "exercise".
And while these are, admittedly, very bizarre behaviors, these people like to know what the weather is going to be like. To each his own I say.
Huh? All the heavier element are theorized to be the result of stars fusion processes and their going nova. Am I off in this? And where did Christianity get brought up?
And where does this coal come from? Carbon. And where does carbon come from? Exploding stars. YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO KILL STARS JUST SO YOU CAN DRIVE A CAR! Won't anyone think of the stars?

Which is why I go to the can in the shower. Double the inspiration power. Of course, the wife doesn't like the brown streaks in the tub, but you can't please everyone.
Yup. The NRA is in the same boat. Overall I support what they support. But when they don't realize that there are limits to the 2nd amendment, support some real nut jobs who are dangerous to society, I refuse to support the organization.
Funny thing is now I can be accused of being a left wing nut as well who should stop listening to the mainstream media:)
I love the assumption that I watch Fox News. Don't even watch TV. Don't listen to Fox Radio, don't browse Fox online.
Not even a Republican, sorry.
The ACLU is an organization so caught up in an ideology that they have gone off the deep end and have caused more issues than they have solved. I do agree with the ACLU's stances many times. Others they are way off. When you support the viewing and distributing of child porn, there is no way I can support the group.
So, please, clarify for all of Slashdot: do you personally support a person's right to view kiddie porn?
Awwww... don't like my bringing up a valid point? The point is that when you support an organization, you support all of an organization. The ACLU is so caught up in ideology that it cannot see past it. It supports decriminalizing the viewing of porn. Even if you take the tact that "no children are hurt by viewing", you make a nice breeding ground for suppliers to exist. In case you are wondering, they also support the right of folks to sell the stuff as well.
The same is true with this "supply cameras to poor folks to watch police". In principal, great. I am very much against police brutality. At the same time, we have a problem with relations between the poor community (I live in one) and the police. A lot of this has to do with police behavior, but a lot has to do with apathy, and a general disrespect for authority in this community. The ACLU is doing nothing to help the situation.
The article was light on details. Plants need the sun. How does light reach the bottom levels? If you use some type of fiber optics to lower levels, then you have "stolen" the light from the upper levels, and less growth occurs.
You only get as much solar output as the square footage of the structure. What am I missing?
Then uses hers to play Elton John and the Moulin Rouge soundtrack
Damn. I knew Slashdotters were hard up for female companionship, but this is over the top. Why don't you just stick to porn and wanking like the rest of us?
I could never figure out that game when I was a pre-teen. However, my younger cousin loved it and could beat it every time. I couldn't make it past one screen. The controls seemed to be only somewhat associated with the game play. Goofy game that I could have written in BASIC in a couple weeks.
What? If this is the same game I bought for the NES (late 80's), it took me a whopping five hours to complete the game. I was pissed. I spent 50 of my own bucks for something that provided five hours of gameplay.
I seem to remember a royal pain-in-the-butt control system and having to do something to seven towers. I bought the game, got home in the early afternoon, and had finished it that night. Store would not take it back.

Where is the second negative?
Keep up the good work, and we will let you have a user account soon! However, you need to work on your spelling... it is entirely too good.
.... five users wonder what happened to their favorite web site.
... do you want to bet that the leftist blogger is the one who posted the "comment"?

And their belief that viewing of kiddie porn should be legal?

Sorry. I was really, really thirsty.
With other more cost-effective media like the internet, why would non-profits CARE about radio?

To those who may be wondering: the above are mixed up versions of "TOO MANY SECRETS".
You laugh about such things. But I was the beta tester for Preparation G. Stuff was awful. But boy could I whistle really well after that.
