Thanks for the reminder. I can finally delete the "NoRoland" Greasemonkey script in Firefox.
Not just yet:
Suzanne said that Roland had a few posts in the pipeline and wanted them published. If she is able to pull them from Roland’s PC we’ll put them on his blog to complete his record.
That's true, but it's also true that the rod cells, the cells in the retina primarily responsibly for night vision, are insensitive to red light with wavelengths longer than around 640, especially at low intensities. So your eyes stay adapted to the low illumination conditions even in its presence. This also explains the Purkinje effect whereby in low illumination conditions the cone cells, which perceive color, become inactive, while the rod cells, which are sensitive to greens and blues but not reds, become active, leaving reds to appear duller.
It's called a character entity reference and Slashdot accepts some of them. It'd be better if they'd just adopt Unicode like they should have sometime in the past 10 years. There are so many times on a site like this when ASCII is just not enough.
Bluetooth devices use some forms of authentication and encryption, and depending on the specifications and specific devices used, security can range from weak (or even non-existant) to fair.
This picture shows a phosphor-based white LED producing a peak in the 450–470 nm range, or blue, and while a particular LED's peak depends on the In/GaN or Al/GaN ratio, I've found that it's usually in that range. Additionally the picture is not adjusted for relative color intensity, so to the eye the peak would not appear as intense. For there to be a violet tinge, the peak would have to be in the 380–430 range.
I do, however, agree that lights with color temperatures around 4000–5000 K (like incandescents but a bit "whiter") are warmer and more inviting. Sometimes lights may technically be white (equivalent to around 6500 K) or have a broad spectrum, but they will appear blue because every light around them is "warmer", and that may be what you're seeing.
Slashdot accepts at least some character entity references in that form. Really they just need to get with the damn times (i.e. the last decade) and support Unicode.
After seeing this story tagged coxblock I was reminded of a discussion I had yesterday with my father about how Cox (the ISP) was blocking incoming port 80 requests. The phrases coxblocking and coxblocker came up more than a few times.
How about some actual data? This article is extremely watered-down ("1/100 of a nanometre (that is one hundred millionth of a millimetre!)") and essentially has nothing beside speculation about what these transistors can be used for. They don't even say what element the atoms are for fuck's sake. It's pretty amazing that they made the equivalent of 14 transistors with 30 atoms, but the article makes it sound like they just pushed some atoms together under a microscope.
Numerically labelled pages and lines do constitute a creative or original derivative work, just as telephone directories are not copyrightable. The state seal, which is what I assume is in the header, is in the public domain. I see no reason why that listing would have to be taken down, nor why anybody would want to take it down. Are they trying to hide the laws?

At first I thought you were making a joke in German because of the sie, but a quick look on Google returned this.
Wiktionary was not as kind:
Bah, I got beaten.

It would be equivalent to the energy consumed by 71.3 billion average United States automobiles in the year 2000.

Would that sign be running around frantically, flailing your arms, and mouthing OH SHIT?
Yeah, nobody wants to get pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
Is that related to long cat?
I declare a new Internet meme.
That's why we have U+2764 in Unicode. Though good luck trying to put that in a username.

It's spelled spelled.
That is, unless you're British.

I just figured you were in the United States since you said "In New Zealand" rather than "Here in New Zealand".
Smaller transistors means more efficient transistors. It's not just about size.

Nobody here said it was, but at least you were modded Insightful.

How many keypresses can it recognize at once? Is key jamming/ghosting a problem?
