All joking aside, how much do you want to bet this is the first time the slashdot effect/really/ causes a computer to catch fire due to excessive processor heat?
It wasn't a babershop quartet. It was an a cappella group. Their name was Rockapella, the group is still around, although I don't believe many of the members from the show are still there./A cappella Fan
Could it be that your client is right? I mean, if your pages have a beautiful back end, but a front end that looks like processed yak's droppings, isn't there a good chance that a prospective customer will go for the more 'professional' website?
You might have an amazing database engine, but if it is not visually appealing, there is still a major issue.
To sum up: Customers like shiny things. Make it pretty.
I think Jane's estimates China's strategic rocket forces at somewhere in the range of about 50 (Intercontinental) missles capabable of reaching the United States (Under 100 Long-to-Medium missles total). Most of those are only capable of West Coast attacks (Sorry Los Angeles!), they are also light years behind current ICBM design. They could really mes us up, but we could vaporize a good chunk of their population if we set out to do so.
PLA has a metric arseload of people and munitons, but hardly any infrastructure. I mean, they can't even pull an amphibous assault on Taiwan.
It's supposed to be a meal. A lot beers from England/Ireland are Porters which are hearty beers that were orignally used to keep you warm since the weather sucked.
Had UFO and IPA, and been on the Harpoon tour. (Boston Native):)
Offtopic: I've been thinking about doing something similar as an experiment. I have a few questions, but can't find your e-mail. What exactly do you use? Is it an integrated system? What are the specs. Do you have pictures?:)
I guess the point of my post wasnt clear. One can try to use your weblog for useful things. I opted that my journal-weblog isn't indexed by google, but I keep work-weblog (well, wiki to be exact) to be. Why? I keep useful info in the work one, and I keep useless stuff in my personal one.
What we are seeing in just evoloution. People are still figuring it out. I mean, look at the web mid 1996. Everyone had a web page full of useless stuff, a boat load of javascript and way too many blink tags. What little content there was, was "arcissistic rantings, with no regard to what purpose they serve". Give it a bit, people will get bored and move onto the next 'big thing'.
I try to post semi-useful thing in mine, like "I got this error at work today, here is what I did, It drove me nuts", in hope that google will index it so other people don't have to go through the wild goose chase that I had to go through. But mostly, mine is journal-type stuff.

There are lots of ways to look at breaking the law, you can break laws as an act of civil disobedience, although I can almost guarentee this is not the case for this story.
Seconded. I started working out at the begining of this year and absolutely fell in love with my gym's elliptical (Precor 544efx). Easy to work on, works up a nice sweat, and burns calories like there's no tommorow. It's fantastic and I would love to get one for home.
Slashdot Mirror
Please note, I am not a 'furriner', but I think it would be cool to have coverage of other elections.
I have no issue with the flag being the logo, I just felt that is sort of provided an answer to my question before asking.
I just wanted confirmation of my suspicions.
I'm guessing from the logo of the section that this will be a 'No', but will there be coverage of Non-US elections as well?
I believe it was $1500 in Gift Certs for the three of them. $500 for 3 catagories (Longest unamped, Longest homebrew antenna, Longest overall)
The also got oodles of wireless goodies.
Wow, how offtopic.
Since we are showing anecdotal eveidence. I was also raised in a house with similar rules. No Bow either.
I now play paintball, enjoy guns and play violent video games.
*shrug*
Feel free to keep congratulating yourself though.

No, 'moonbats' are people who support Isalmic Supremacists. We call people like you the Looney Liberal Left (or L^3).
/. since 1998! (Please note, 'right wing' and not 'religous right')

Like I could develop a learning disability from chemicals leaking from my... uh... thingamjig...
Crap....

How the Irish Saved Civilization
Well, duh. Guinness.
I mean, what's the point of living in a "Civilization" (If you can call it that) without Guinness?
Actaully, the first thing that popped into my head when I read your comment was, "Wow, I should look for one of those"
*strolls off to eBay*
I can't deny it anymore.
I just read an article on metric pages and found it incredibly intresting.
At one point I said "Wow, Cool"
I think I've gone beyond 'geek'.
I feel dirty.

Of course, who is going to implement the IMPS system?

Isn't the show made in Canada? And isn't Sorbo Canadian?
Wow, it must write in REALLLLY tiny letters.
Please note, I fully agree with you. But the OP was looking at things rather black and white.
