I would like to thank the author for putting a guitar on the cover of that book. This way, at a glance, a girl would probably think I play guitar. Bonus.

"Oh, ok... Oh no! what's happening to my computer?!"
"Hahaha! Welcome to Teh Scene, bitch."

now all I get are recorded messages. I'll pick up the phone and say "Hello?", there will be a pause, and then an overly-slimy recorded message (worse than a bad used car salesman)
At least it's something. Something... anything... I need it....
I live in India and I am constantly bogged by sms' asking me if I was interested in winning gold, buying a car etc. What's worse ??
What's worse? What's worse? I'll tell you what's worse! I used to get those calls all the time. Now I don't get them at all. I need those calls! I'm a socially inept nerd who desperately needs human contact. Now they go and outsource my only source of human contact to India? Take my job, but don't take away my phone spam, too!
I seriously wonder (not being involved in theatre at all) how they plan on pulling that off. In the movies they used CGI, but on a stage both the space and number of people is limited. Any theatre buffs have any idea on how they'll pull this off?

Yeah, that really drives me crazy. I mean, I don't mean to steer the conversation in any way or another, but those jokes just don't turn my crank. They signal to me, rather, that Slashdotters prefer automatic over manual posting. The way this place is coasting along in neutral mediocrity, well, it makes me sad. We should change gears around here, and make an agreement to speed up the humor and put the brakes on predictable comments.
I archive all my pr0n on DVDs these days. It's really easy and oh wait... fsck!
One day... someone... somewhere is going to invent some sort of mechanism for removing text you've already typed. It shall be called "back-one-space" and will remove the letter before it.
If this is impossible, surely they can keep a way of having all our text auto-submitted!
In a legal dispute between a DrinkOrDie member and the United States Government, why link to a United States Government document on the group? It's a little biased.
Wikipedia, perhaps a more neutral source, has an article on DrinkOrDie
And then there will be problems of "house-hacking", when teens with wifi will roam the neighborhood, causing your lights to flicker, your oven to overheat, and your fridge to stop running.
Teen: Uh, hello, yes, is your fridge running? Adult: Oh, I'm not falling for that old joke-- Teen: Oh yeah? Go look at it! Adult: Oh... oh God... no... my food... I... I need that to live! Teen:(snickering) *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* (pushing 1-3-3-7 on the phone)
The submitter was actually Steve Jobs, but he had to use the codename "linuxwrangler" since Slashdot couldn't post any information from an Apple employee. I mean, how can Slashdot distinguish between what Apple considers a trade secret and what they don't if Apple doesn't tell them before hand?
The amount of comments in code is interesting. It kind of starts at an extreme, then moves slowly to the middle, happy land.
If you started programming, you either chose to comment a lot, or not at all. "A lot", because you were never sure what your code was doing, and always needed the reference. Or "not at all", because you could make sense of the code very well.
Then you start your first big project. For the big commenter, he realizes after getting quite a bit of work done that a lot of time was "wasted" on comments. ("// This line increments the 'i' variable by 1".) Further, these comments seem way too obvious. For the non commenter, they get lost easily and wish they commented more.
So it goes in the opposite direction from when it started. The big commenter comments way less, and the non commenter comments way more.
Then it repeats. Eventually the programmer gets the happy medium of the right amount of comments.
This has been my experience, in my own code, and checking other people's code. Thoughts?

I think people will adapt. I never hear anyone complain about Winamp 5['s versioning convention].
Or Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP.
Or Mac OS X 10.3
Or RedHat 8 w/ Linux Kernal 2.6.1

What about the spam that they keep sending to their own customers?
Don't like it? Don't sign up with them.

If there is any good news in the story it is that the 35% figure represents a substantial reduction from the 71% who fell for the ruse in 2001.
You know, there's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee...
Also expect some law suits from Americans about the product you guys sell as "beer".
Wait, are we talking about coffee or beer?
Damnation! Stupid Adblock is broken! Back to IE for me!
That ought to be an interesting "interpretation."

I know of a few photos this guy hasn't seen yet. If he sticks around Slashdot he'll certainly run into them, though.

That's not really the issue. Just because someone doesn't have the money to pay off lawsuits doesn't mean they can do anything they want.

You're missing the point. Didn't you see the suction cup bow and arrow? The man has a suction cup bow and arrow!
The man has a suction cup bow and arrow. A suction cup bow and arrow. That beats an Apple-Firefox-Google threesome any day.
But how will you know how it ends??
You may notice the article has no details.
There's an article?
What kind of crappy lawyer lets their client get punished for telling the truth about dangerous products?
Hutz: Thank you, Dr. Hibbert. I rest my case.
Judge: You rest your case?
Hutz: What? Oh no, I thought that was just a figure of speech. CASE CLOSED.
