Not really better that the show it's interrupting, otherwise you'd switch channels looking for more ads when the show interrupted them. You just need them to not be annoying.
You would need ALL ads to be entertaining for that to work. If the program you were watching switched to ads and they were entertaining, you wouldn't think of switching, but then if one lame ad came on, you'd think "wtf, why am I watching this?" and flip the channel. So, one guy will have ruined it for the rest of them (the ads after that one might have been great too).
The military doesn't want to rely on wireless technologies during warfare because they can be so easily jammed. All it takes is for someone to send noise on your frequency, and everything stops working.
No, I meant it's more natural than one mouse and easier to implement than the multiple-point touch screen. Of course, the latter would be ideal, but until we get it, two mice would be a good solution. You could just have pointers with different colours, then noone would get confused. Or, even better, one would point to the right and one to the left.
Seriously. Most of that stuff can be done with two mice. Why hasn't anyone implemented that yet? Just grab the image from the ends and drag to resize, or drag one end to rotate, or whatever. Two mice would be much more natural. Sure, you'd probably use the one in your good hand more, but for some stuff it would be great (perhaps handling 3D models?).
The rest of the cars? Here in Greece, at least, everyone has at least one cellphone. I literally do not know anyone over 15 years old that doesn't have a cellphone. Except grandpa.
This contest doesn't make sense, if they find a vulnerability, it's some bad PR, but, well, how many vulnerabilities have been found and patched for XP? If they don't, it still doesn't mean it's unhackable, it just means they need more time.
The only case where they DO work is when you're asking people to crack encryption, and then it's only CRACKING it that proves something, saying that noone could crack it doesn't mean it's uncrackable.
I don't know if I made a mistake I can't see, but that RE should match 312.132.123.123. if I was king of the world, only, for the reason the other posters have so eloquently explained, it doesn't. It's not \d+\.+ (is that what you meant?).
I tried to do a bit of recursion in regexes once, like ((\d+)\.)+, but that didn't work. It's too bad, because I don't think there's another way to dynamically match data in regexes. Other than this, they've served me very well all these years.
Yes, well, I thought it was obvious as well, but it seems that many people think otherwise. I also didn't expect people to go all "OMFG J00 HAVE LIEZ IN UR SIG, J00 > MICROSOFT IN EVIL", shrug.
"Unlimited" refers to services (emails, DBs, etc), check the services page. Does it really bother you that much? If yes, complain to whoever runs slashdot to let me use a longer sig to also include the terms of service.
That phrase probably originated from something like "I could care less, if I REALLY tried". I just think that some people didn't find it the second part all that necessary.

Well, that's it, really.
Not important? What do you think macro viruses are written in?! :P

Q. Should we read the article? A. No. Sub-Mac-rumor-site rumours. Probably fictitious phone conversation. Cheesy backstory.
I believe that what's happening now is the result of someone reading 1984 and thinking "hmm, good idea!"
Who's Paul Thurott? :(
Damnit, stop with that example. Hell, it took *me* a few minutes to parse. Fruit flies like BANANAS.

Gah, and to think I passed that class :P I just hadn't realised that all that theory about automata and K* and whatnot applied to the real world!

What, you mean like SDL/OpenGL?

Dissuaded you from buying, or from pirating? :P
War is not an Olympic event!
Hey, there's a good idea! It should be!
I'm taking bets on how many minutes this'll take until it's cracked to show no ads.

Pisses me off every time I see it.
Search engine bots don't see sigs (well, unless they're logged in, which I find unlikely). Some people do fake sigs though, like this:
--
$1/mo unlimited RoR, PHP, MySQL, Python webhosting.
Or, god forbid, someone might make a spellchecker plugin for IE!!!111one
