I can't see why this would matter. Hopefully potential candidates will look beyond whatever their official job title is. I'd change it slowly over time.
Why are FarmVille etc. even enjoyable? I can't see what would make someone so enthralled in planting virtual seeds as to abandon common sense (not to mention waste time) giving away their personal information online.
I'm not sure where any of this argument is going, because "Linux" certainly does not "include its own PDF reader". There is no standard PDF reader made by the Linux project or even the GNU project.
You're lucky you couldn't use them on tests. Reminds me of the time in 9th grade I made a program whose key lines were: -b+sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a->x and -b-sqrt(b^2-4ac)/2a->y
Very good point. I've run out of gas twice, which kills power steering -- both times I'd have been stranded in the middle lane of a busy road had I not been able to coast the car long enough to pull over somewhere safe.
You just made me laugh harder than I have all day. In return, I will share this link with you, so you may experience the same joy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b00HsZvg-V0
iTunes may be cheaper and more convenient, but how is buying a crippled (lossily compressed) file "better"?
Even if your ears can't tell the difference, you still won't be able to do things like transcode it to other formats, or play it on the high-quality sound system you might buy someday.
Er... what's so bad about installing it to/home/yourusernamehere/bin?

You should try fixing some bugs in Sunbird, if Mozilla interests you but the hugeness of Firefox is intimidating. I was able to contribute code (granted, only two lines) to Sunbird that fixed a real live bug, and I was in high school at the time.

Notice no parentheses around 2a :(

No, but Apress didn't give you permission to reproduce the book, so this is irrelevant.
Religion and cultural inertia.

I find your ideas intriguing and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Why does the story header appear *red* instead of the usual green? (Firefox 3.5 on Vista)
Then... we'd live in Sweden?
A lot of fellow students (non-slashdot-readers) are as annoyed as I am whenever they hear things like "GPA Average" or the arguably worse "GPA Points"
You're not the only one; that's the norm in France (and probably other countries as well.)
People upload via TPB; they don't only download. This is how torrents work.

You don't have the slightest idea how any business works if you really think Dell pays its Microsoft invoices every week.
Look at the type of stupid motherfucker they let have low UIDs here.
Guess you've never been to the Grand Canyon in the winter. Or, you know, fucking gone to one of the multiple ski resorts in Arizona.
Er... then wouldn't this be "Apple: making itself look good (and thereby concealing the truth) since 1984"?
You're forgetting the loads of people who get Bing by default with IE8.

You have a good point, but are you sure web sites are actually legally entitled to inspect what people are paying them to put on their servers?
If so, probably just a case of lazy and/or clueless administrators.
I stand corrected. It is extensible. However, my other points remain the same.
