All nostalgia seems like this. Either we look fondly back on our past we would never willingly revisit, or we do revisit the past and it's not at all the way we remembered it. It's kind of like the Heisenberg uncertainty principle of the human memory.
The plaintiff's lawyer should have done more than watch "Matlock" on the strip club's TV the night before. He thought he had the gist of it, even though the sound wasn't on.
Speaking for myself, a previously read email is trash. If there's something I want to save, I save it somewhere else, usually in a couple of places.
But I know people who use email accounts as a repository for their online lives. Gmail is encouraging this attitude, of course. Now I think Google is probably a little more responsible, but it does give one pause.
Now, for that unread email, that just sucks eggs for those poor people...
I don't know about Delaware, but where I live in Kentucky there is a real danger of your neighbor's house catching on fire or blowing up because they're cooking up a batch. The restrictions on pseudoephedrine and ephedrine do seem to work, and they are a minor inconvenience at best.
I do admit that meth is the "flavor of the month" in drug war, but that doesn't make it any less nasty.
It seems to me that George W. Bush's two terms have inspired more free speech in America than the previous 200 years combined. You guys really should be thankful!
...the definition of off-limits Web sites is so broad the bill would probably sweep in thousands of commercial Web sites...The list could include Slashdot...
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Congress can do some crazy things sometimes, but most things like this get a scant margin of victory. This vote was 410 to 15, an overwhelming show of support!
I think you're right, they seem to be missing the point of the "long tail." (By they, I mean I've read something like this recently at Slate.com.) The long tail seems to be taken to task for not being "big" - but it's not supposed to be big, it's the left-overs for the niche merchants and individual artists.
Lisa was discontinued in 1985. In September 1989, Apple buried about 2700
Lisa computers in the Logan landfill in Utah. The value of the computers had depreciated
so much that the tax break received from scrapping the computers resulted
in more money for Apple than could be obtained by selling them.
You can call anything illegal if it runs contrary to your interpretation of the Constitution. Saying it's illegal, over and over again, does not make it so.
... to think this is intentionally racist, you have to imagine a company full of white-sheeted executives, and I'm just not seeing it. There may have been a point when the people putting the ad together should have said "Now... will certain people think this is over the top? Should we maybe think again?" Whether that happened or not, I'm kind of glad we're reaching a point where people are thinking less about it. My first take is that those who say this might be racist are just pot-stirrers.

Um... well, I guess we'll have to take their word for it! :)
I'm sure most /.ers are well aware of the page, but Google also lists other "famous firsts."

The eighth one down looks like some kind of hi-tech OB/GYN instrument.

Strip clubs have to look out for their reputations, and not be conflated with morally questionable products and/or activities.
I know, it looks like the effect that some first-person games show when your character has died. I don't remember pinball being so bloody, though.

There was no law made here, it was a judicial ruling.
More true than you know, considering that 80% to 90% of reporters are Democrat.
Hey! Direct meteor hits have served you (and me) quite well up to this point! Of course, we don't want too much of a good thing...
In 1997, they "retro-fitted" a new name to it: PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, and thus it now sits (linguistically) with GNU, et al.

Rocket Science?! Oh, the ironing is delicious...
Anybody feel like digging? :)
You think that's bad? The other day I bought some skin moisturizer. I scanned it, and the machine said "Now it puts the lotion in the basket."
ILoveJackDaniels.com has some in PDF format, although they are geared to ward LAMP stuff.

Ah yes, material for years.
lol no it's not a virus!
Not to mention that a standing worker takes up less square footage than a sitting worker. Now we can get those cubicles down to 3 x 3 feet or so!
