Let's see how many dumb-ass questions we can ask of slashdot, and divide them by the number of Karma-Whoring assholes that can come up with a 'nifty" answer. When we get the answer, that's how many "good" scanners there are out there for your sister, buddy.
But they will have to accept the fact the the world is getting smarter, and is not needing the whole windows user-friendly environment any more. Bottom line, the world needs something that accually works, and is open-source.
Ranks right up there with what happened to me once. The police raided my house looking for drugs, and upon finding a computer they searched it for evidence of drug dealing! They stated that since I had my PC's hard drive partitioned into 4 drives, and had a dual boot (one for Win 98 and one for Win NT), and that they couldn't open files out of the temporary internet files dir, they felt that was reason enough to look for child pornography.
They ended up finding a lot of pr0n, no child porn.
The drugs you ask? I put them in the fish-tank cabnet behind the sofa. They never even looked there, which proves the original point?
Has anyone noticed how freggin HOT it's getting outside these days?
Another question is, what about the magnetic field around the earth? Why is it changing? Is it because of hair-spray? Or is it due to a natural occurance of Mother Earth?
I have to wonder about the usefulness of this. I know a lot of folks that fly small radio controled planes. These planes are very much able to fly in between buildings, swoop down under over-passes, and all the things mentioned in TFA.
The Air Force and NASA have so far provided about $3 million for the UF research, a substantial portion of which is aimed at addressing that issue by making the planes easier to fly.
I wonder why they would need to spend that much money on this "new" idea".
The bird-like prototypes are strikingly maneuverable, capable, for example, of completing three, 360-degree rolls in one second. (An F-16 fighter jet can manage at least one roll per second, but three rolls would produce excessive gravity force, killing the pilot). Flying in videotaped demonstrations, they are so agile they appear out of control at times, and indeed the planes require considerable talent by the remote control pilot.
As a new linux user (and I mean new), I have to say that the linux community has been very helpful in every reguard.
I don't know what will become of it in the future if a lot of money gets involved. But then again, I think that Linux will always be for the geeks, and learners.
Now to prove this...
I've got a server that I'm trying to mount to. How do I find the device name in order to put it in my smb.conf file? I'm running Slackware.

Now RTFM, and see what they scored. Honestly, I feel that any "good" businessman will tell you that without all of these traits, you cannot succeed in this world we call America. I'm not saying that I agree with the attitude, but really look at it, it seems obvious that a lot of bosses have this attitude. It's almost a "must".
Little Johnny, you still haven't cleaned your room, or taken out the garbage! What's the deal??
Sorry mom, I'm doing my homework.
But you've been doing it for 6 hours now, it's almost time for bed.
Yeah yeah yeah ma, I gotta study for this test tomorrow. If I can't successfully beat the 4th level in 10 minutes, I have to repeat the 5th grade. You dodn't want THAT do ya?
Do you remember when you got that card for your local grocery store? You know the one, it gives you a better price for almost everything, and on your reciept, it tells you how much money you seved. When you first applied for this thing, you had to (in most cases at least) include your social security number even. Don't think that they don't keep track of that. Hell, in this case, they're keeping track of your cookies, and how often you eat them!
This seems like more of an issue than cookies on your computer that can be deleted.
This "daylight saving" time was invented for farmers to be able to farm and still relate to the rest of the world. Seeing as how this stupid method of keeping "time" is now useless (since there are far fewer farmers in this country these days) it seems like a good idea to conserve energy. I think those who still do farm, can get up when the sun rises still all the same. Besides, we have so many more advanced means to keep up with the world today. Farmers aren't missing anything.
So really, we could just go with one long continual time string. Don't change it at all. Let's just do away with changing the time all together. I have to disagree with TMM. Some folks would have to work in the dark, on things that would require daylight, like most construction.
#1 - Baby, I went outt-air in the big city, an bowt ya a slap brand new "eenk-jet printer". Baby tha boy there says that this here printer is tha latest, an greatest. This thang'll print pictures, an all.
#2 - Oh Billy, what'll ya think uv next! It's like that time ya bowt me that right nice "television" that would "pruject" tha picture on thu wall.
#1 - Yeah baby, that boy in the city told me that we could print whutever wuz on the "screen"! We're livin in tha lap of luxary baby.
You missed my point bro. In this game, you do things that are illegal, right? You kill, you steal...so many things. The big stink that is, er well, has been made is that the sex is there. I can understand this to a certain extent.
But if you view it from the eyes of a "child under 18" then you have to take into account that they are trying to protect that child's little mind, right? Isn't it for the good of the children? But these kids have been able to go pick up a prostitue, have sex, and then get out of the vehicle and kill the woman, AND get their money back.
The image in the mind is not dependant on what the TV is displaying, it is happening in the mind, and the mind knows WTF it's dealing with. This is a pointless objection to the gaming industry, and is purely stupid.
Purely stupid, just like what the programmers did in the game.

They're. There!
Slashdot posted this "article" to both make money, and give us something to laugh at, and talk about. Good job Slashdot.
It looks like they compressed the wrong words.
They didn't clear it up very much for you did they? Here, go stand by the stairs, so that I may protect you.....

Oh, oh oh, I see.
Ahhhhh the free-flowing of information.
Ahhhhh Linux.
But what are the effects on humans?
I mean, while people have lots of photo's and video of their loved ones already, it would only serve as a tear-jerker at the damn gravesite, right?
"The dynamics of the floppy drive"
"Monitoring your monitor"
"Desktop speakers, the truth"
If you are, are you guys hireing?

would be to put the man's "Bot" character in a virtual prison, wouldn't it?

I think their way goes something like this...
"When you are high now, you get the pot in the ....future?"
Go home and get high, then they'll send you some over the new "high" speed connection that has been established.
