I noticed that Fox didn't reference the NYT articles in question. Even so, they DID mention that at least one of the two articles was an EDITORIAL. You know, an opinion? It's entirely possible that the NYT has employed more than one reporter since 1993. Just a thought.
I would say that I've learned quite a bit from working as an assistant netadmin at a local HS for the last 2 years. Especially since the REAL admin was blind most of the first year, and recovering from eye surgery most of the second.
Tried a sample A+ test, only scored a 75%.
I've done just fine for friends/co-workers working on their pieces of crap with no initials after my name. I suppose if you're in a corporate setting, though, it would be a LOT different.
If the job requires cert and you know the stuff, might as well get resume fodder.
If midwest smokestacks make acid rain in New England, where does Ohio get those "bipolar weather patterns?"
I was referring to the times when it's a high of 90 one day, high of 65 the next, or the times this Spring when it would be in the mid 80s one week and snow the next week.
About the anti-social behavior in Ohio, yes, but you'll get that anywhere with the right people:)
I'm not sure about the rest of the world, but I think we could use some global warming in northern Ohio. After a while, the bipolar weather patterns aren't so bad, but the winters can get pretty nasty. I realize it probably won't change too much in my lifetime, but it's a thought.
Even though they've made clockspeed less relevant, I'd kinda like to see this sort of extreme overclocking on AMD. Or does it already exist? All I know is I see all these liquid nitrogen P4s and think "wtf...where's amd?"
If you're being serious:
Say one guys kills 10 people, and they give him 10 life sentences. That way, if one is reversed, he's still in there for 9 others. A way to make sure they're in there their whole lives.
If you're joking:
They shock them over and over to keep them technically alive until the time is up.
From TFA: "We're very pleased with the outcome. We think it's the appropriate verdict," U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins said outside U.S. District Court.
As much as I dislike spammers, is 640 years appropriate for one man? He didn't even kill anyone. Maybe he should have gotten something more brutal, like 64000 hours of community service...as a tech support operator!
Did Microsoft invent the iPod? No. Did Apple? No. The idea that either company invented the mp3 is ludicrous -- both were years behind numerous companies.
Um... iPod != mp3 Did you mean mp3 player? Yes, many other companies made mp3 players, but not iPods. Sorry, but...Apple did invent the iPod, IIRC.
They finally decided to land after I woke up at both 4am Eastern yesterday and 5am today to watch it land, to no avail.
I suppose they HAD to land sometime.
I wouldn't say that I "love" it, but in my limited experience, it does the job. Every time I install a (pirated?) copy of Win2K on a boxen, I go through, disable most of the services, and put on a firewall. Everything's peachy, since I'm the only user, and I don't CLICK HERE!
That doesn't mean I don't keep MEPIS and Knoppix live cds around, mind you.
If the biggest of one of the only 2 consumer processor manufacturers drops production on low-end processors, who are people going to buy low-end processors from? Most people don't even know who AMD is.
Sorry, but... They're phasing out chipsets, not processors. There's still Sis, Via, and all that good stuff in that market.
I recently started reading at -1 "uncut and raw" and it's pretty damn raw. Are posting privileges reduced/revoked based on IP, due to the overwhelming amount of AC trolls?
"The TFA mentions two teams of scientists who found the object independently of each other. It doesn't say anything about discovery by an amateur astronomer."

All they need to do is DROP support for IE.
Also quite the undertaking switching 4700 from windows to linux.
Yay for Korea and Korean memes!
"news" for nerds?
Crazy stuff that makes me glad to NOT live in the ninth circuit.

potential
It is, after all, the circuit that ruled "under God" unconstitutional.

"weapons that can make you hear the voice of God."
/.ers:
Cue the hordes of
A. Saying there is no God.
B. Calling the article religious flamebait.
oh teh noes!
Am I the only one that "Open DRM" just sounds wrong to? Like civil war or military intelligence?
Am I the only one who had the sudden urge to tilt my monitor to read 710.77345? Ahh, the crick in my neck!

As for the climatologists, is a bet really news?

yay for mirrors!
Guess how much it costs to save a life nowadays? $400,000.
Whose ass did you pull that number out of?
I could save someone's life who was drowning for free. Do they owe me $400,000?
When you try to quantify the value of life, bad things happen.
