I've never understood the need to market drugs either. The commercials always go, "Ask your doctor about [insert drug name]", as though when you ask them about it, they'll say, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that one!" That's not how it works. The doctor prescribes what will work for you for your specific case, assuming that they're not being paid be pharmaceutical companies to do otherwise.
You could probably write a custom stylesheet to get rid of the #slashboxes column or whatever is creating the whitespace and maybe make the font smaller.
Just out of curiosity, what WM and browser are you using?
Okay... but this court case was meant to determine whether violating a website's ToS constitutes a crime under the CFAA—not whether the right to free speech is guaranteed on the Web. I'm all for her going to jail for other things, but not for violating a website's ToS. This is a win for everybody.
As long as the meaning the speaker intended is imparted to the listener, they served their purpose.
That's the problem. When a word (like "hacker") has different usages and definitions to different people and can be interpreted in various ways, the meaning is not conveyed properly.
What the hell is "I Ay" anyway? When you (not you, but in general) use pronunciation respelling, unless everybody is using the same exact method, nobody knows what your phonetic symbols represent. To me, "I Ay" looks like it'd be/i aI/ in X-SAMPA.
I'm not gonna trash the grammar in your post because I don't notice bad grammar unless it's obviously wrong or gets in the way of the meaning of the post, but there's nothing wrong with split infinitives. It's a nonexistant rule that English teachers—and the people they tell it to—spread.
I've been pissed off by that too, but there may be technical reasons for doing so. For example, some browsers prefetch links, and there could potentially be an exploit there.
Actually, playing guitar solos (though, not improvising) would be easier for a robot to do than bouncing table tennis balls. There's not really any math involved in the former—the robot would just need to have one hand tapping on frets or strumming a string and another hand fingering the frets, both in predetermined manners.
It's nice how when I post a link to the application on Facebook to inform others about their lack of privacy, it doesn't appear anywhere on the news feed. Are they filtering it or something?
Actually neither of those analogies fits, but since we're making car analogies here, I'll just stick with that:
It's like a company shipping a car with wheels that only run on their roads, which are conveniently lined with toll booths. Another company comes along and makes wheels for the car that allow it to travel freely on all roads, and then the car company blocks those wheels from being installed on their cars.
Now, because of this article, everybody mentioning Firefox in the future will be responded to with "FIREFOX? YOU'RE A CRIMINAL!!", much akin to invoking Godwin's Law.
<kyourek> There was a 23% drop in temperature. <nappyjallapy> That's almost 25%! <kyourek>... That was one of the most worthless comments I've ever heard.

Don't let Dr. Mario touch you. He is not a licensed doctor.
Wow. It's like rule 34, but for fan fiction.
The Marvel character?

Yeah, but for(;;) loops forever, whereas while(1) only loops while 1 is true. It's completely different! What if 1 becomes false?!
You put up with all that shit on the page? My front page looks like this.

Don't worry; the Internation Olympic Committee is sending nature a cease and desist letter at this very moment.

Doesn't AOL give out 10-month CDs for free?

The real question: why is anybody on Slashdot using these malware lists?
Using something like this means you're sending every URL you visit to Google/Microsoft. Why would anybody here be for that in the first place?

Going along with the Latin duo-, the prefix would be sexa-, not hexa-.
If you can remember your passwords, you're doing something wrong.
Just set up a master password with Firefox and get some auto-login addon like Secure Login or use a program like KeePass or Password Safe.
A robot hand being able to bounce a ping pong ball doesn't make me worry.
However, if and when a robot learns to play Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption", then I'll worry.

Are they going to let the Firefox users out of prison now?
No, they just bop them on the head. But apparently Logitech is racist, because it only bops the dark ones.

Well, TFA itself had 46% and 26%.
What was the point of the rounding those to 50% and 25%? FFS, that's rounding two different ways on similar numbers.
It reminds me of a bash.org quote:
You know, having both Adblock and NoScript is a bit redundant. I've never seen an ad with just NoScript.
