One of the biggest lessons you can't learn in college: sometimes, a job is worth taking for no reason other than how it contributes to future opportunities. Ditto for taking classes post-college.
these, and many other species, will be gone in few years. we need to significantly reduce the worlds population, starting now.
If a high quantity of species is desirable (big if), selection pressure (human competition, for example) would be a Good Thing, as it would drive speciation. BTW, in which era would you place peak biodiversity? Was it really that nice back then?

Yeah, because if an individual has the right combination of nature and nurture to make him suitable to be an astronaut, what are the odds that someone with the exact same nature and a comparable nurture would be as well?
So that's why things ended not so well for RDA Corporation in Avatar. I guess the nurture part wasn't close enough.
From TFS: "BLADE monitors and analyzes everything that is downloaded to a user's hard drive to cross-check whether the user authorized the computer to open, run or store the file on the hard drive. If the answer is no to these questions, BLADE stops the program from installing or running and removes it from the hard drive.
Of course, they must have been talking about capacity instead of speed. Sending more information concurrently using the same pipe. Every bit of information would still travel at pretty much the same speed obviously.
"Capacity" is still a polysemous term. I could be a static magnitude (a "stock") or a a dynamic one (a "flow"),. For example "1 LoC" can be a unit of capacity. Maybe "throughput" is what they mean, whose unit could be "1 LoC per second".

Bruce Willis died deflecting the last one. It'll have to be Ben Affleck next time... finally.
I really am regretting ever creating a Facebook account. If things carry on in this direction, I shall delete the thing soon.
The number one search hint when entering "dele" into the Google toolbar is "delete facebook account". Coincidence?

In the US the official body that does this is called the Working Group on Financial Markets.
They hate it when other people cut in on their action.

Hey, don't knock it until you've experienced a shedload of uhhh... collisions with Caltech girls.
I'm sure they watch /. as well.
Do you think they have an agent provocateur on /. as well? Assuming they do, it might be interesting to hold a Slashdot Poll on who we think it is.
I'd love to see Minard-type illustrated map of product lines, sales of each product, board members and share price for the 1997-2010 period.

Russian mindhacker Yakov Smirnoff injected this meme once using the rootkit. It is still endemic in certain segments of the population.
All I want to know is if my new Sony TV will come with a free root kit pre-installed at the factory?
TV, Sony or not, is already a rootkit to your mind.

Insightful curmudgeons: Given sufficient sensitivity, this could be done with a tetrahedral array--50 years. Now, get off my lawn!
a 4-mic tetrahedral array can do the same thing.

Most Slashdot stories I don't reply to and only read, does that mean that Slashdot is somehow limited or has a large number of dead stories?
No it doesn't, but the fact that you (indeed, we) are replying, doesn't mean the opposite either.

Sounds like Mac OS X.
