Flamebait? It was an honest question. I don't often make comments about how posts are modded, but you can clearly see by my signature that I have an interest in people's opinions on the matter.
In other words, it's now an opensource way of picking out themes in text. So, I guess you can (or the company you work for) have a version of Carnivore
Is there any place where someone can buy a 250GB hard drive that is pre-loaded with movies or Simpsons episodes? If not, then maybe I should start a little black market business...
Sony has made its second studio acquisition in as many months by purchasing Zipper Interactive, developers of the highly popular SOCOM (pictured) series of games.
My adblocker must be acting little overzealously, because I see no picture.

Geez man... the least you could do is teach her the basics yourself! After that, I recommend an old program called battlechess. Sure it's kind of violent (in a fun, cartoony, pixelated way), but I take it from your post that you aren't exactly running for father of the year anyway.
Don't forget digg. 95% of the users only know how to say "lolol this is cool" and "DIGG+++++++++". And don't get me started on their archaic, non-threading comment system.
The trolls of slashdot, the comment system of fark, and the "'my site' is better than yours" mentality of k5. Dig+++
Don't worry, Canada has plenty of retarded protectionist policies, like "Canadian Content" rules, or the "Canadian Wheat Board" monopoly in the west, to make up for it.
On the one hand, they want you to be secure. On the other hand, they don't want you to be so secure that you no longer need their services.
Sounds like drug compaines, car companies, and well, just about any profession. Even engineers make themselves needed by doing everything they're own strange way so that they can't be replaced easily.
As a Canadian, I'm so happy that your leaders enforce ridiculous patents on Canadian businesses. I'm also glad that your leaders violate NAFTA when it comes to softwood lumber. Thanks!
Slashdot Mirror
I invested in this company's stock when (and it still is) in the tank.
That makes more sense, to me, then investing in Google right now.
No kidding. Journalists for the NY Times were probably rich kids that weren't smart enough for law school.
With css power you really do not need to use br, maybe that is the reason for the small stats for the tag's use?
But don't we all use br's when we quote other people on slashdot?

Seth MacFarlane has got to be one of the busiest people in the entertainment business. I'd like to see him guest star on a few live action TV shows.
Their theory of its small size, is a lack of minerals in the habitat (Specifically Calcium I guess), that limits the avalible bone making material.
So did they evolve that way or did God create them perfectly for that niche?
When will IBM opensource UFIA?

And so can China. Woohoo...
Sounds familiar.

You're right, and I should have picked that up. Still, getting through the crust would still be an amazing accomplishment.

I think this is cool, but the more exciting thing that Japanese geologists are doing is planning to drill into the earth's core. link
Japanese scientists dig up million-year-old ice and find a giant moth. Godzilla saves the day.
but IANAL
Good for you, but I don't see how your sexual leanings have anything to do with copyright violations.
First it was altavista then yahoo and google. Lets see who is next :)
Askjeeves. No. Not really.
Why not just underclock the processor? Adding more ram, dimming the screen, and using a virtual cd drive should also help considerbly.

How about the state of Canadian Beef these days? Thanks, Canada, for introducing BSE to US herds.
No need to thank us!
On a side note, you also probably know that the US farm subsidies have forced Canada to do the same sort of thing.
Instructions for breaking the iMac's are presently located at the bottom of the comments.
Uhh, thanks.
Slashdot is getting too intellectual for me, and I'd like to see more pissing, whining, bitching, moaning, and complaining.
There's always fark, somethingawful, plastic and k5. But if you really do like idiot posters, you should try browsing the imdb comments for a while.

Good point! I'll have to remember that argument.
On the one hand, they want you to be secure. On the other hand, they don't want you to be so secure that you no longer need their services.
