As much as I despise office suites in general (seriously, I have a perl script that processes plain text into LaTeX and compiles it automatically for me just so I never have to muck with an office suite), most of those sound like PEBKACs. Or you're describing them poorly.
It buzzes when the sensor faces magnetic north. If the sensor faces magnetic north when you are facing true north (because you turned it around your leg), then BAM.
The real problem is the angular resolution of the sensor--at a 45 degree resolution, the MN/TN distinction is lost in the data noise anyway.
No, don't get me wrong- that is good advice (and not just for the flu). What I should have clarified was that many posters have a very... Glib? Flippant? attitude about the situation. Slashdot's primary demographic- while not high-risk victims themselves- should consider the ramifications of a fast-spreading, sometimes lethal, but most importantly *new* strain of flu wrt their families.
Not that I entirely approve of the giant FUD wave spreading over the nation, but there *is* a spark of truth to it and a reason to be at least mildly concerned.

And what does that concern do for you? Raise your blood pressure and your cortisol levels, therefore shortening your lifespan while doing nothing to protect you, or anyone you might be concerned about from H1N1.
Wash your hands, stay home if you're sick, etc. There isn't anything else you can do (practically--you could lock yourself in your basement with enough SPAM and bottled water to last a year). Worrying will just make you die sooner from other things.
Depends on where you're talking about, the border is just shy of 2000 miles (3000 km), and there are an estimated half million illegal entries into the US every year (I'm pulling all my statistics here from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico_%E2%80%93_United_States_border for lack of a better source on hand).
Most of the border is unfenced, and barely patrolled. Portions near San Diego and El Paso are the most heavily patrolled, and some areas have sophisticated sensors to alert Border Patrol agents (motion sensors, etc.) During part of the 1990s there were military units deployed with infrared camera systems (those could be called brutally effective, but they never operated on more than a 100 mile stretch at a time).
For most of the border the only things stopping you from crossing are 1) Rugged, desolate terrain that can kill you if you aren't prepared, or 2) the unlikely chance a lone Border Patrol agent will stumble into you (they usually patrol solo in those areas because there are so few of them--one got killed, executed by drug runners a few months back).
Border security is anything but effective or efficient though, except for a few isolated cases/areas.
No, you missed him entirely (though that's not really your fault, since few non-Americans would catch it).
His implication was that you travel to Mexico and then just walk north across the border. If it's good enough for 12 million people, it's good enough for you.
Is that from personal experience? And if so--why in the hell did you go to Detroit? Buffalo has a far lower risk of death, while still being a shithole.

None of them worth the price of the software.
Yeah, just TRY replacing a cam shaft without LISP.
Gonna have to say Emacs.
No, just mod the parent down.
Too lazy to click the links to the data right there in TFA?
Sure, those SHOULD have been in the summary, but if you expected they would you must be new here.
No, it's the people who are riding the elephants at the time that suffer most.

Protip: If you have to explain the joke in parentheses, it wasn't funny.
Science tells me you are full of shit.
Rural adults are more likely to be obese, and are less physically active than urban adults: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15085629
Rural children are more obese than urban children, IN SPITE of being slightly more physically active:

By that logic, so did WoW. But copying to the test server, etc. was a chore. Still is.
I only use one kind of hammer: sledge.
Of course, I never build anything either. I just like breaking stuff.
Slashcode is an excellent example of this. [sigh]
Preach it Brother!
How do you punish a monopoly like eBay?
Sell/Buy on craigslist.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!!!
WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CAN NEVER BE UNSEEN!
YOU BASTARD!
Filter error: Of course I'm yelling Mr. Filter, did you even READ the post I'm replying to. Jeethuth Chritht!
Ubuntu doesn't cost anything to update between versions. That's the difference.
Constitutes, even.
Actually given that the US has the highest rates of teen obesity and teen pregnancy in the Western World...

I see that heroine is still a hell of a drug.
No, an Amp is NOT an energy value. It is Coulombs per second. No Joules.

Get a non-xenophobic country,
But I'd have to reroll for that, and I've got too much rep grinding invested into this toon.
