"somewhere down the road the company might fold and they'd be left without support for a vital application"
Sorry for the tangent. But you know, that's actually a really good argument against software subscription services where you access the software over the net. For instance, say your company relies on a certain CAD product. If you're using the desktop version and the vendor folds, you can still keep working while you look for a replacement. But if you're on the online version, you're stuck.
This whole thing is ridiculous to begin with. This is what Viacom should have done: Post the clips to YouTube themselves and at the end of each one have something saying "Watch The Daily Show on Comedy Central. Every weekday at 8!" They could have made a deal with YouTube to have their own Comedy Central Channel on YouTube.com
The film will be available for the public to puchase in about three months. It will be around $30. Why not just fine her $100 (the price of three copies) and be done with it.
Normally I'm against the government getting bigger, but service providers have really dropped the ball when it comes to getting broadband to rural areas.
"The reason we kept Linksys' brand because it was better known in the US than even Cisco was for the consumer. As you go globally there's very little advantage in that"
Other than the fact that the US is the largest market for your equipment!
I haven't checked, but I wonder how difficult it is to compile Thunderbird. I looked at what you had to do to compile FF on Windows and you had to jump thru all kinds of hoops.
Slashdot Mirror
My mind has learned to just sort of tune out the ads. They're there, I just don't notice them.
Of course, if movie's were realistic, we'd be seeing headlines like:
Good Movie Physics Hurt Movie Enjoyment

Wouldn't a "DNA vaccine" be something that keeps you from getting DNA? Like the way the Polio vaccine keeps you from getting Polio?
I wonder if the 2.9 GB includes photos. If so, removing them might get it down to below 2GB and fit on a flash card.
The text of some issues of Creative Computing magazine: http://www.atarimagazines.com/creative/index/
Not sure if they have the issue you mention though.
Never saw that one coming.
Reminds me of the dividend check I once got for $0.25
Cost em $0.33 to mail it.
So true. I guess the only good thing we can say is that it's not as bad as digg's political section. Yet.
Only on slashdot would that post get modded +5, Funny.
On a more serious note, well said.
"same fuel that powers the space shuttle and reduces CO2 emissions by 90 percent"
In that case, we should all be driving space shuttles to work.
Those nutcases could certainly do a lot more if they had the proper weapons. That's exactly why we're currently trying to stop them.
I thought that galaxys where all moving away from each other. How did these manage to colide?
"I really wish would shut up"
:-)
Come now. You shouldn't talk about your fellow editors like that.
"that monkeys, like humans, learn faster by being actively involved"
Yeah...and so do dogs. They learn tricks faster when they're involved rather than just watching another dog do it.

Yes, but if you own Works, you quailify for upgrade pricing on Microsoft Office.

"And most people prefer to rent, not own, a set-top"
Most people don't read "new for nerds" either. But that doesn't mean there's not a market for Slashdot.

And when you try to find Thunderbird extensions, they're all mixed in with the firefox ones and you can't tell which is for which.
