Well finally, Microsoft creates an OS that lives up to it's name.
You are moderating this comment -1 "Retarded", Allow or Deny? Welcome to last year's joke. It's nice to have you all caught up.
ALLOW.
it's better to pass it flaws and all because while you can always restore liberties that might be temporarily infringed upon, terrorists cause permanent damage.
I'd argue that opposite is true: that rights, once they're taken away, are almost certain to remain gone (barring judicial action or revolution). In contrast, physical wounds caused by violence (loss of life and property) will always heal. The harm we have to be concerned about is fear mutating our political landscape and attitudes.
It's got to be a bad sign that I read the headline and first line of the summary, and found myself thinking, "what's this 'Golf' people are talking about?" I thought I was out of the loop and had missed some age-old online conferencing system popular with corporate types.
I've got to spend more time with my toes in the grass.

You can't make this stuff up. From the comments:
My players enjoyed their encounter with my seductive Bard (a conventional archetype, if there ever was one!), whom I could have created with standard D20 rules and careful role-playing, but who was that much better with a smattering of feats and spells from this book.
Correction: If people need to look at the screen to determine what side of the road they're on, then an accurate GPS system is suddenly the greatest of their worries.
Careful what you put on that stick, or you'll be at risk of transmitting more than one kind of virus. I know a friend who tried a USB marital aid, and his girlfriend ended up trying to swap floppies with his buddies.

Female form? Are there images? *drools and goes to "read" the article*
The shuffling you hear in the background is millions of disappointed excited Slashdotters going off to find some actual pr0n after the Big Letdown of aught five.
"This is not the signal you're looking for..."
Hope the signals they're looking for don't come accompanied with Jedis. Or maybe all the chaos is because of Jedi obfuscation of real signals?
Vitamin deficiences and plain malnutrition are rareities.
Parent and siblings seem to be thinking Americocentrically, for the most part. Starvation is not a rarity in the world, though perhaps in the United States it is uncommon. It's irresponsible to make statements about general health while ignoring most of the world who doesn't live in well-developed countries.
I read about the RFID passports. Seems like an unecessary use of technology. "Computers and electronics will make us safer!" Paper passports work fine; why not have a barcode and scanner if you want to scan it quickly?
"bottlenecks... are one of the reasons the clock speeds on your desktop computer have not really been going up much in recent years."
Funny, I could have sworn the reason my clock speeds haven't been going up is that I've been broke! That and I haven't done any overclocking. If their laser tech developments will make my computer faster, I'm all for it!
The reason is that people care about Apple. When something happens to HP, Dell, Gateway, Compaq, or another generic PC maker, it could be happening to any computer company as far as people care. When it happens to Apple, there's a greater emotional level in most people. They either love Apple or hate it.

Architecture and layout of sensitive sites is legitimate information to want to keep secret. If India wants to keep it under wraps, fair enough.

Trust me, I work for the government.
An appropriate signature.
I don't want my private things to be opened up like a 40 year old hooker with vaginal discharge.
We all have things we want to hide... a middle-aged hooker with STDs would be high on my list of things to hide, too.

You're off by an order of magnitude. It's closer to 2100 747's.
Since when can the first post be modded 20% redundant?
More likely that it would be a total headache to replace.
That's only if they're fitted with Genuine People Personalities (R). Being lawyer robots, the manufacturers probably won't bother.

And you thought Duke Nukem Forever was vaporware. When will Slashdot stop announcing news before anything real has come of it?

"lol no its not its a marital aid."

Just tell all your buddies on AIM: lol no this is not an exploit
