I sure as hell... I mean, ordinary users, not I of course, but normal users certainly DO fsck up my seldom-used passwords... I mean their seldom... DAMMIT!
I'm constantly surprised when i check CSM and find neutral, factual stories rather than the partisan propeganda i read in most places. Not what i'd expect-but i still prefer/. and it's user-submitted aggregation of troll-fodder!
Funny moderations don't give karma so many of the better jokes get modded informative. What are you new here?(checks uid 2300094) yes. Yes you are new here.
About seven or ten years ago,/. changed moderation to preclude funny from giving karma. Mods get around this by modding informative or insightful. --THIS is the part that makes me laugh most of all!
How many of these people still have their tonsils? I recall reading in one of the journals, probably on arxxiv and phys.org too, that there is some supporting data showing essentially a second immune system just for the mouth.
"How would any of you like it if someone found a bug in your stuff and instead of notifying you, went to your managers and bad mouthed you?"
This is exactly what happens in most industries from food service, retail, transport(like my driving? Call...), and manufacturing. I'm sure there are more examples too but these are just some of the fields in which I have been a direct employee or as a manager where I was able to participate in the complaint process as a third-party observer more than a few times as coworkers had complaints placed against them.
Why should IT or large scale industry be any different?
More equations would certainly be a good thing but the general populous simply doesn't understand them. There's a quote from Hawking concerning 'A Brief History of Time': "Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. I therefore resolved not to have any equations at all. In the end, however, I did put in one equation, Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2. I hope that this will not scare off half of my potential readers."
My suggestion for online publication is to include Starship Troopers style "would you like to know more" links as sidebars seldom work on phone-level hardware. In a print article you could include an 'in depth' url.
If I were to start the download on my home connection which tops out at about 100kb/s(fastest in my area) it won't be finished before I receive the 4 year degree I start in the fall. Then there's the keyfile to think about. I think I'll skip this one.
Round the living population up to 8 Billion. At one bit per person, not including lookup tables and such, it seems to me that it would amount to about one billion bytes or about one GB. Just a bit more than a few floppies...
A Beowulf cluster of old times? No I can't imagine how that would work.. I might soon be able to simulate a beowulf cluster of BARDIAC on phone-level hardware though.
Slashdot Mirror
They may work in the US but try in my country and you don't get to even see that they exist.
You didn't put the laser cufflinks on a cufflink-wearing shark for starters.
When thermodynamics is wrong, you've missed something.

Look up Newtons Theorem and try again.

No link 'cause my google-fu is coffee fueled.
I used to be like you; in need of a mammoth tusk. Then I took an arrow to the knee!
Depends what editor pushes out a story. Your UID is low enough to know this already. Where have you been?
Remember roland p.? BSD? Phil plaitt? Nortel? The year of the linux desktop? The Taco days?
Astroturfers and FUD?
I shouldn't have a lawn yet...

For now adblock and noscript work well enough. What about after the other side develops NoBlock and AdScript?
What do you mean?
Anti-matter rules.
FTFY
I'll just leave this here.
It might just be gouda for you...
I swear to God I will pistol-whip the next person that says 'shenanigans'.
Correct- It is indeed only 100kb/s peak download where I live.

I use an eight-pound sledge myself. YMMV.
