Anyone believing that the News of the World is not the Sunday Sun is completely deluded. To deny this would be like claiming that "The Sunday Times" is not "The Times" published on Sunday. If Murdoch is allowed to simply open the Sunday Sun then nothing will have changed.
Murdoch has closed the paper not least because the advertisers were leaving the paper like rats leaving a sinking ship. The BBC claims that "Leading brands, including Sainsbury's, Ford and O2, pulled their newspaper advertising and shares in BSkyB fell on fears that the scandal could hinder parent company News Corp's bid for the broadcaster."
What we need now is a concerted campaign to persuade people and equally importantly advertisers that the News of the World is indeed the Sunday Sun and if the NotW should be boycotted, so should the Sun.
Of course there is one group of people who have known before this scandal broke that the Sun and the Sunday Sun are evil papers and have been campaigning against them for many years. They are of course the Hillsbrough Justice Campaign. After the evil things the Sun printed after the Hillsbrough Tragedy in 1989 there has been a boycott of the Sun and it's sister paper on Merseyside and amongst Liverpool supporters ever since. If you're unfamiliar with the boycott you can find out more at http://www.contrast.org/hillsborough/history/media.shtm
In summary, if you live in the UK, boycott the Sun. Don't buy the paper and don't read the paper. Tell your friends not to buy the paper or visit their website. Pick up a couple of broadsheets in your local newsagent or supermarket and put them on top of the pile of Sun newspapers so that they don't get seen or bought. Contact companies such as Sainsbury's, Ford, O2 and their competitors too and ask them to drop their advertising in the Sun as well in response to the vile actions of the Murdoch press. Do not let the Murdoch Press maintain the illusion that the Sun was not complicit in these actions. Do not let The Sun off the hook. Instead, reel them in, gut them, top and tail them and barbecue them.
Actually, I've installed every version of Windows since 2.0, every version of MS DOS there is, and some variants like CP/M.
Why on earth did you install MS DOS 6.2.1 and 6.2.2? They were downgrades released by Microsoft after they were successfully sued by the Stacker Corporation for stealing their code in MS DOS DoubleSpace.
You should probably have pointed out that you were referring to *Slashdot* breaking right clicks in *Firefox* with their new CSS and not referring to Facebook or the original article at all...
Gambling laws in the UK, before the idiots in New Labour deregulated, stated that only Cribbage amongst card games was a game of skill, and this was the only game you could *legally* play in a pub for money. To my mind this was a sensible state of affairs.
Of course that never stopped people playing Bridge, Poker, Brag and similar games for money, but any gambling debts generated were not recognised in a court of law.
You're incorrect. Maybe you're trolling? I'm guessing based on the lame pun in your user name. Whoever modded you up was also trolling.
Switzerland is not a member of the EU; Dignitas, the clinic which PTerry visited is in Switzerland. Switzerland is not signed up to the EU charter on Human Rights as it is not a part of the EU. Even the Swiss are unhappy at the "Suicide tourism" that has seen people travel from EU countries to Dignitas in order to end or be assisted in ending their lives, although the law was not changed in a recent referendum. If their own states allowed them to end or be assisted in ending their own lives they would not need to travel to Switzerland.
The most disturbing thing about Dignitas is that 20% of those taking their own lives are not even ill or depressed. Recently a couple in their late twenties both committed suicide there. Neither was physically ill.
Gates got extremely lucky. Digital Research's salesman failed to show for an important meeting and IBM immediately walked down the road to Microsoft and exchanged contracts.
The summary is misleading - only the second of the screenshots in the article claims to be from May; the first is dated 14th February which, it could easily be argued is not a "random" or typical day in the Western world.
I'd be far more interested to see a screenshot of deletions rather than edits, if only to find out exactly who is committing the annoying, unnecessary and downright malicious deletions of interesting scientific articles but leaving the FUD about D-list celebrities.
In Utah there is [sic] only 36 places in the entire state where you can purchase anything harder then a 3.2% beer.
That's not actually true. You can purchase harder drinks at most of the 470 restaurants and at the clubs. There are only 36 places in the entire state where you can purchase strong liquor and take it home for home consumption.
Making and selling the hottest chillies seems to be an ongoing competition. The UK grown ones are verified by Warwick University. Who is verifying the australian ones? I wonder how high in term of Scoville Heat Units this arms race is going to go?
So, tell me, why didn't he bring this up at his original trial?
Blaming one of his attorneys for failing to prepare a “Public Authority” defense [from the article] is lame and a little dubious to say the least.
It should be noted that SPDY is not an acronym or initialism. It's merely a shortening of the word Speedy.
So, if you're wondering what SPDY stands for, the answer is nothing.
Actually the cube root is trivial too and would have been trivial to them in those days as they were bereft of modern calculators but were able to adeptly use slide rules and apply the laws of logarithms.

What are these mythical "friends" things you talk about? Sounds like some sort of real world thing.

If translating part of a book shouldn't ban you from a country 'forever', how long is reasonable for it to ban you from a country?
A day? A week? A month? A year?

With sadness we note that this will probably be the last release of a doomed (Microsoft killed) project.
...because open source projects never make any releases, do they?

No it wasn't. The full quote from Chapter 4 of Brave New World was:
"Ending is better than mending. The more stitches, the less riches." which was repeated thousands of times to the children.
Typical Slashdot moderation: incorrect reply scores higher than correct post.
