My guess is that its both of your ability to understand exactly what 4th Century means. TFA mentions nothing about it being BCE. The second link in the submission says it was made 1600 years ago, which jives with what the AP article says. I'm guessing the submitter made the mistake, being as editors don't edit.
I, for one, would greatly like to see a bible written 400 BCE. Somehow, I don't think that's going to happen.
Anecdote sure, but I'm happy with my Dreamspark Server 2003 installation. I mostly use it for games, but some server goofin' around goes on as well. I had to monkey with some settings, but other than the internet settings, it wasn't difficult to get going.
Piracy. You can boot linux on the PS3, but the kernel will not get full hardware access. Allowing users to fall back to old firmware/OSes would probably lead to some people running legit to play online, then having a fallback disk image or whatever to play cracked ROMs. Not that linux relates to that ability; I really don't know.
If old people were in fact the biggest demographic, there would likely be at least one station that plays nothing but Matlock and Walker, Texas Ranger. AARPTV or something.
Bullshit. Dems deserve blame because they have squandered congressional majorities, and went along with the bullshit (PATRIOT Act for one) the Reps brought to the table. Crying 'Poor us!' then passing totalitarian legislation anyway isn't an excuse from blame, its just being a group of pussies.
Nice, long post. I kinda went TL;DR for a while, but a thought occurred. Maybe he just doesn't know that many people?
Insert/. basement stereotype for illustration as needed.
I'll even back you up with my own anecdotal evidence. I have lived in the northwest and the southeast, and Tennessee (may be defined as southeast, but isn't really when you compare to Florida). I've known racist people everywhere I've lived.
Well sure, if you buy it in a corner shop. Its no wonder there's an abundance of mini-marts and such in metropolitan areas. The prices are ridiculous, and people will pay it. Its just like at an amusement park or stadium; $7 beers, $4 soda, $3 water. That's supply and demand for ya.
I've overpaid for water a few times, but my lifetime average price for water is no more than $0.60/Liter. Also, my experience with residential tap water is limited. Seattle/Tacoma - Pretty good. Tampa/St. Pete - pretty much terrible. I currently live north of Knoxville, and have stayed away from the tap.
a flat (24 count case) of.5 liter bottles is $5. I currently live in an area with fluoridated tap water, and there's no way I'll drink that when $0.20 gets me at least reverse osmosis filtration.
Jon Stewart's insistence that TDS is a 'fake news show' has the exact same effect as someone saying on Slashdot, "I know I'm going to get modded down for this, but..."
I don't have ratings numbers, but I'd bet that TDS ratings go up a point every time he mutters that phrase. It is just like the consistent, tried and true +3 insightful that gets thrown onto comments here.
"On hold" is nice, but will there be an investigation or backlash regarding how it was passed in the first place? Or has the process of buying a standard just become a cost of doing business?
Don't get me wrong, I can out-old-Mac you (450 mhz G3![overclocked]), but you can't expect anyone to support a dead desktop processor architecture. With a PPC Mac, you're just as stuck not being able to play windows games as you ever were. Luckily, there have been great games for the Mac, (Escape Velocity and Marathon, to name a few). I'm going to guess you already know this.
Live for Speed and Jager Bombs. Been there, done that.
Racetrack driving is easy to manage when intoxicated. Its the reality of traffic in the real world that presents the problem. People in real life drive like shit.
That's nice and all, but aren't we lucky to have had the landers last longer than their original expectations to begin with? Now that we can't come up with pocket change (in comparison to Iraq, for example), we're expecting them to work when we 'get around' to reactivating them?
Slashdot Mirror
It is likely that your sibling poster is correct (#24501309), over 9000.
Slurm's slogan is: "It's highly addictive!" Or at least it is in print ads.
Spluh.

Hopefully, yes.

I want to know how you didn't call out the OP for going to CANADA for INDEPENDENCE DAY. It's so awesome, I might have to try it.
Decorative.
Like ericrost says. The quickest way to an upmodded comment on slashdot is to include that exact line in the first paragraph.
You can call it the karma-aimbot.
Ate your post? You mean you don't write all of your posts in a word processor before copypasta to the internet? You must not use windows or IE.
Hey at least you guys could fill out an Air Waybill :P From the cargo agent side, I'd have guessed that DHL Danzas had the retarded management scheme.
Once upon a time, I handled Cargolux out of SeaTac.

Yes, they still make silly string. I'm sure just browsing that story will give plenty of google ads for buying cases upon cases of it online.
:P
MassHoles notwithstanding, Silly String is harmless

O,Slashdot, ye cruel mistress!
:P
I just got mod points this evening
mod parent up! I usually end up getting mod points on Sunday, otherwise I'd have!
Thanks for the time you put into each of your posts regarding this, and for being helpful in general...
It was in the department line, sorry to burst your bubble.
