The Arabic writing looks very similar to cursive, which means your brush (or can, or pen) doesn't have to slow down as much -- therefore perhaps one might have less buildup of ink from slowdowns (like we see in English letters)? I'm not sure, I might be reading into it too much. I don't have a lot of experience with writing anything with spray paint. (:
Thanks, if I had points I'd mod you informative. I appreciate your insight into ways of using Craigslist safely, as not everyone is savvy about using it.
Exactly. How many users use Craigslist in that time? How does that compare to a regular city? Craigslist could be compared to a community of similar size.
This. Please take the time to both moderate and meta-moderate.
Positive moderation on Slashdot is intended to reflect posts that are informative, interesting, insightful, etc -- NOT as an "I agree with this" marker or "I like this" marker. Similarly, negative moderation is NOT intended to be used to reduce the visibility of things you disagree with, but rather to disagree with things that are trolling or off-topic. It DOES get abused by some, but by and large I've frequently seen opposing viewpoints both get moderated positively. I personally have moderated posts which argue in disagreement with my personal feelings in a positive way, due to the fact that they bring up a point I hadn't thought of, or argue well for the position in a way which elicits good discussion. I also tend to spend most of my moderation time looking for posts to upmod, rather than downmod, which Rob's asked us to do in the moderation guidelines.
Again, some people abuse moderation, and will mark as troll or flamebait something that they disagree with. Meta-moderation helps identify this. While I've never seen such abuse while meta-moderating, I've seen it at times in threads. Sometimes I have mod points that I can use to mark something as Interesting or Informative when I feel it's been mistakenly marked as a Troll, but usually I don't.
No, they're evil because they advertised it as being linux-capable, and then rescinded it over a year later. They're evil because they're trying to actively prevent people from using their hardware which was originally purchased for computation, not piracy.
Linux (and other free software) is Free by the choice of the authors: it's free both actually (as cracked software also is) and ethically (which separates it from cracked software).
Many people would rather live in squalor than be well fed in prison. Gitmo has a reputation for being a human black hole -- only rarely does someone actually ever leave it, and at least one has died before getting to court.
Especially when the government has taken steps to argue that it does NOT need to be bound by the treaties prohibiting things like that, that the places where it happens do not need to follow US law, and that it's not torture anyways. The world gets nervous when we say things like that.
The last time that the Federal Government executed someone for espionage was the Rosenbergs, in 1953. And the reason it happened was because everyone thought that they gave the Soviets the A-Bomb. Before that, it was not exactly common to execute anyone for treason or espionage related acts either.
The key bit I think you're missing is that Congress is trying to classify Assage's actions as espionage. If they can successfully do that, they'll have the leverage they'd need to execute him, should he ever get extradited to the US.
edit:... or, they would, if we didn't prohibit ex post facto laws. Somehow I totally forgot about that. However, the intent seems to be to find a way to destroy him, and I would be very surprised if an extradidtion to the US (if it happens) doesn't eventually result in his execution... or in being locked up in a very small box forever, like Manning has been.
No, he's saying that the laws as originally legislated would have prevented a lot of the recent banking problems. It wasn't until people disobeyed them, legislated additional loopholes, or decided not to enforce it that things started to really spiral out of control.
One can speak to a computer at roughly the same rate as one speaks to a human, unless you have some new souped-up bionic vocal cords that I've never heard of.
I remember my card PINs through their differences between successive digits (up 2, down 1, up 6, etc.)
Wow, that was remarkably revealing (and, I trust, utterly fake): +2,-1,+6 = +7. This means that the sequence is either 1328 or 2439... unless you let it count multi-digit numbers.
Clearly, calling someone "fagbot" is a mature and professional response when someone criticizes your source code. I suppose if they actually found it funny, maybe it's OK, but I can't imagine deciding to call someone this.
Better yet, set the wallpaper to "LOCK YOUR WORKSTATION" , rather than somethign NSFW. The former is not something you'd get in trouble for having/creating, whereas bringing NSFW stuff into work is, by definition, not safe.
If your goal is to be able to exercise jury nullification, advertising the fact that you believe in it is a nearly surefire way never to do so. If your goal is simply to shirk your civic duty, then JN is (apparently) a useful excuse.

On the bright side, very few of the divorces were of gay couples! :)
There's a "Mickey's Playhouse" cartoon on their kids' TV channels. He's definitely used as a character.
You know, stuff from Studo Ghibli is often animated beautifully, as are just about everything from Pixar.

You must be thinking of Raistlin Majere. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raistlin_Majere )
I believe steganography is what you're thinking of.
Alternatively, someone may have painted the graffiti on the wall after the bullet holes had been made.

If there are no charges, why does he need to be extradited?

How is editing a bad thing when you also release the whole footage? What was "selective" about it? How did it change the message?

All that effort, and they left out Wesley? Must not be a native Slashdotter. ;)

Still, a clever way to remember it!
They're required by law to allow you to use a unique identifier of your choosing instead.
