as far as I know, Slashdot does not have popups. They do have skyscraper banner ads and video adds embedded in the site. However, if you are getting annoying pop-up adds, you may want to check your site for ad-ware which is annoyingly known for such popups.
I love you, You love me, We're a happy family, with a great big hug, and a kiss from me to you, Won't you say you love me TOO!
I love you, You love me, We're best friends like friends should be, With a great big hug, And a kiss from me to you, Won't you say you love me too
I guess Barney is one of those Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde kind of guys with a split personality. While he sings sweet happy songs to young children who absolutely adore him, he has a darkside he shows to those who don't like him. When someone doesn't respect the lines "We're best friends like friends should be", and "Won't you say you love me TOO", the big purple dinosaur sends them the not-so cuddly wrath of the purple-D's lawyer team.
I can see it now... The next big legal battle will be Microsoft vs. the world.
And soweth the fabled Microsoft Lawyers marched from their barracks in Redmond, Wa, headlong into the world's courtrooms to wage the biggest legal war of their lives. But, they know they are brave, strong willed, money filled and are large in numbers. They march with patent documents in their briefcases, and they sing their fabled Microsoft Lawyer Battle Cry:
"We are protectors of IP, saviors of the MS pocket books".
Perhaps AMD should start from scratch rather than try to cobble together something based on decades-old technology.
NASA, one of the most technologically advanced space programs in the world, has decided to use a "decades-old technology" for the new 21st century push for Mars rather than build a new, from scratch system. Tried and true methods must be the best, then. If this technique of using "old school" technologies works for NASA, it will work just as well for AMD!
One customer left a banana on top of his hard drive, which then rotted and seeped through into the device. The circuits were ruined and the drive failed to work.
AHhahahahahaha! the perfect corporate sabotage! Disguised as a janitor in a data center, place the banana inside one of the server cases over the holiday weekend, and voila! Muahahahahahahaha......
By then the iron on the platters is already starting to oxidize.
my, oh my. I never thought someone would take the phrase "water-cooling" a computer to the extreme, and actually submerging the whole damn thing in water. I am blown away that your harddrive actually rusted to death, and didn't stop working immediately. Do you have a connection with a HD manufacturer's secret R&D department for waterproof harddrives that you aren't telling us about?
Running Knoppix on a dumb terminal with only a cd-rom drive, network card, motherboard, etc. without a harddrive, and then backing up everything onto a server over a broadband internet connection. Off site data center takes care of data backup, redundancy, etc. No mess!
the article mostly talks about scripting languages. And yes I do know wget come with a lot of Linux distros, but not EVERYONE has it. So there, I DID read TFA.
According to wikipedia: Owning a satellite dish is banned, and the only TV service comes from one of two state-ran monopoly media corporations. Also, pornography of ANY kind is completely banned (playboy, etc.) which would probably disturb some slashdot readers. A police permit is required in order to hold a public assembly (even when groups are small). Eating or drinking of anything on public transit carries a 5000$ fine. They heavily filter the internet for anything that "may be a threat to public security, national defense, racial and religious harmony and public morality", and in 2005 imprisoned 2 for posting racial slur on the internet; Reporters without Boarders ranks them as 140th out of 168 countries listed (i.e. BAD);
3b - incongruity between a situation developed in a drama and the accompanying words or actions that is understood by the audience but not by the characters in the play
On the stage that is consumer electronics, with the observer that is the consumer, and the actor that is the manufacturer - when the manufacturer creates a market paradox in which its service and product are incompatible... Awww hell,
What in the name of Sam Hill was Microsoft thinking!?!?!?!
Yes. I definitely agree e-voting hasn't come far enough to be implemented in voting booths. As you say, paper ballets have been around for centuries and work just fine. Maybe eventually when e-voting is 99.99999995% error proof, has paper trails and works as it should, then maybe it could be implemented. However until then, I agree paper ballots are much better.
Given the disasters we have seen in other places, I would rather have a slow system than one that can go wrong in so many ways (at this point in time).
I definitely agree. I find it highly ironic that even with all the things that do work on computers, something as seemingly simple as voting has some many damn errors in it. I agree that there must be a flawless, well dispersed implementation of E-voting, proven to work correctly AND with paper trails before it even touches a voting booth. None of this ship it out and debug it after the election crap.
It is sad to see electronic voting being thrown out with the bathwater. In my opinion it can work, however current attempts to make such a mythical machine. Many of the most-published and widely used e-voting machines are flawed, have no paper trail or the like. It is sad to see something as e-voting can't work properly in the age of computers.
Screenshot of window here. You'll see it simply generates "soothing sounds" to wash over office chatter. Basically, the only way to get rid of chatter with this is by cranking up the speakers and letting rip the sound of waterfall.

However, it is interesting to note that it was running Linux about a month ago.

for those of us who don't have them, here are the basics:
Wget: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/.
Curl http://curl.haxx.se/
where they charge admission to see it (certain online casino name left blank). Next it will be McDee's crop circle postcards at 3$ a pop.
(massive govn't project + taxpayer money)^(at least cubed for govn't bloat) + corporate contract = One VERY happy corp.
Equation is defined in the domain {All big govn't}

For drug addicts, life in Singapore is hell. First off: drug trafficking of ANY kind usually results in a hanging (according to this, 70% of all executions are drug related). Not to say punishments shouldn't be tough, but these are insane. Here's also a list on what is punishable by Capital Punishment in Singapore.

[DP] FCC Chair Stumps For Media Diversity This will allow the email to get correctly forwarded.
daddypants@slashdot.org is the email for Slashdot editors. Send them a note to correct the title and article from FCC Chairman to an FCC Commissioner.
