The 1st amendment already covers this. There is no need to further clutter up our founding documents with some "right"... Brevity is your friend when you are drafting a Constitution. For much the same reason I think the equal rights amendment is a waste of time and ink. The 14th amendment's equal protection clause already covers it.
Yeah, those pesky "new" rights. All they ever did was extend voting rights to all adults and races and sexes, regardless of property ownership. Stupid clutter. This is 'Mer-ka! Land of the free white male property owner invaders!/sarcasm
You do know that the 14th Amendment wasn't a founding document, right?
Perhaps. The article says "looking at real code" is better. Again perhaps. For example the problem there is: did they really write the code, if so how long did it take? Did someone else suggest fixes etc? You don't know. I mean 300 lines of beautiful C is all fine and dandy but if it took you 3 months to write it and half of it is cut and pasted from the web how good is it really?
They recognized the beautiful code is a sea of crap that is the Internet, added to it, and made it beautiful. Would I hire someone who could spot that useful code, even if they didn't write it, and could add to it and still make it beautiful? You mean, would I hire Steve Jobs?
Yeah, you can do that on a computer with a REAL screen, not those little iToys that all the cool kids have to carry around with them these days.
Can't wait for this fad to die down a bit so we can quit hearing all these retarded stories about "The Desktop Computer is DOOOOOOMMMEEEDD!" all the time.
Sure, it's eventually doomed, but not for a long time still. There are so many things that I do on a triple headed desktop that I would never want to attempt on a mobile or pad. (Coding, taxes, etc.) And some things are more convenient on a mobile device. (Driving directions, reading the news over lunch, etc.)
CricKet MessageMate II WTF!;)
Yeah, I'll be happy when the desktop computer fad dies down and we can quit hearing all these stories about "The terminal is DOOOOOOMMMEEEDD!" all the time.
Sure, it's gone for now, but it'll be back. There are so many things I can do on a virtualized server farm that I would never want to attempt on a desktop (Coding, taxes for an entire state, etc.) And some things are more convenient on a desktop. (Gaming, gaming, etc.)
As an EE I fully agree with you about the 555, except I'd implement blinking lights using a bistable multivibrator.
I bought a bistable multivibrator for Christmas one year. Big mistake. I don't think getting the blinking lights model would go over with her family any better, either.
It's "Dear Leader," not "Glorious Leader." (His daddy was "Great Leader." And so far, Junior is "Great Successor," which reveals a lot about how the state apparatus views the new kid.)
Except that at least they are competitive. Unless you are consistent, you don't pull the big salaries. You must dedicate your entire life. Explain to me the millions Johnny Depp makes for playing make believe. He can go off an do crappy low budget art movies. The only time you see a pitcher do anything like that, it's a charity golf tournament.
And unless you're Jackie Chan, there's not much danger of a permanent or life threatening injury.
Honestly, what crap software out there requires a full software update to change tax tables?
Quicken 0.1a Private Garage Alpha "Cain" Edition running on 386 SX with DOS 5 known best for its 9/9/9 Sim City tax tables, no floating point operations, and inability to distinguish between charitable and political contributions.
In the Dear Sophie ad, the account holder was the father, not the child. The account would be turned over when the child was old enough. In this case, "old enough" means 13.
Honestly, I don't really care about a 12 year old's "fight" for online services. Compared to problems other kids face, this is an eye-rolling non-issue.
He lasted about a week before we replaced him with a guy who realized his job was to make OUR jobs easier. He's quite good at it, too - he actually does make our jobs easier, which makes everyone more productive. If he was going to tell us, "Sorry, you can't use X or Y", he'd be out of here in a week too.
Sounds like you are the dictator, and worse as a Slashdot reader, obviously one who "thinks" they know IT. If you knew IT, you'd be IT. You're a luser, you'll always BE a luser. You're big man (or think you are) at your job. Pray you never have to change jobs where an established IT doesn't put up with that mess.
My job is NOT to make YOUR job easier. If you want "easier" call your boss, your boyfriend, or your therapist.
My job is security, compliance, and uptime. And if you deliberately fuck with any of that, and you will be the one shit canned around here, son.
They plan Ice Cream Sandwich via CM9 for almost any CM7 (current version of CM) compatible phone they already support, except for really old models like the G1.
Tor is horrible for any type of file sharing, and likely to just fail for lack of connections. Most outbound nodes have defaults to only support a few protocols on. HTTP(S) is the most popular supported. File sharing and email being the least supported of all, for obvious reasons.

Then the windshield wipers should work really well.
Woosh!
Not as creepy as them writing, hosting, and live comment streaming his "main" obituary. http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/
That's why, imho, Microsoft should instead make the Reset ROM.
I stayed up all night with my dad typing in a program called Moon Lander from a magazine.
Load "MOONLANDER",8,1
Joy!
I'll go you a step further. He may have done this via a company computer, thus violating the company's AUP.
I think it's stupid, too, but that's the devil's advocate position.

There you go, FTFY, now you can move to Chrome.

"They made me do it." Oldest excuse in the book.
Though I'm sure /. will come up with an older one.
Sports is civilized war. Adding gadgets at least let's it more resemble 21st century war, rather than 16th century.
Slashdot just posted this other Galen Gruman story based on how to get your user devices into your business behind IT's backs: http://it.slashdot.org/story/11/12/18/2154224/how-to-thwart-the-high-priests-in-it
Now another story about user devices getting into business behind IT's backs, also by Galen Gruman.
Enough already!

Why doesn't British Telecom file suit in their own country? Serious patent holders would, at least in my guess, have a home turf advantage.
Bill Gates certainly never thought anything Microsoft did was evil.

From the summary: "GPS spoofing was used to get the RQ-170 Sentinel Drone to land in Iraq."
Iraq? Did it land on the border and where? Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't crossing a border to steal a military item be an act of war?
Or is it just a typo?
