I disagree. I really, really suck at rote memorization. Yet I consistently did better than everybody else in my class in the US education system. Why? Because by starting with the few facts I did know, I could deduce the rest.
Right, like kids can't handle violence. After all, it's not like they are subjected to violence, murder, canabilism, etc. in their nice, clean little fairy tale books, now is it? Lets see: Hansel & Gretel -- child abuse and canibalism. Snow White -- intentional poisoning. The Wizard of Oz -- the "hero" begins her odessy by taking credit for the death of one woman, and ends it by killing that woman's sister. Good think young children aren't being subjected to graphical descriptions of violence, or we'd be getting some pretty messed up kids!
This is going to require re-writting some history textbooks and a lot of old songs! As well as a few protocol specifications. Who is it that's actually offended by this terminology? Does this mean dominatrixes can no longer advertise their services in El Lay county? Yes, I think it IS possible to be TOO politically correct.
I've already ripped 30GB of MP3s off my CD collection; best estimate is that the whole collection will take ~50GB. Good thing I'm putting it on a Creative Nomad Zen Xtra 60GB, instead of one of those wimpy Rios! (The Archos looks like it might be a good alternative to the Rio too, once they add a larger drive.)
You don't find SCO's claims that copyright law supports their claims, but at the same time copyright law does not support the GPL, to be prima facia evidence of a cavalier attitude? Look Darl, you can't have it both ways. That's what the article is trying to point out.
Wanna trade wives? I had to put all my own stuff into ziplock bags and plastic storage boxes. My wife just piles all my stuff up in the corner, with complete disregard for putting heavy items on top of breakable ones. Plus, we had to get a bigger house with an Imelda Marcos approved closet for her shoe collection, and there's still not enough storage...
I take it then, that they had to develop this expensive software solution because they couldn't figure out how to simply add rules to their firewall to block outgoing Kazaa connections?
Why don't they hire detectives to tail the students to the local library? I hear you can check out CDs there and listen to the for FREE! Of course, the collection there leans more to classical than to Britney Spears...
You're in a dorm with hundreds of other students, all with access to CD burners. Blank CDs cost $0.20. Have everybody chip in $0.25 for one copy of each CD you all want, then burn copies for everybody. Hey, if you're going to be treated like criminals, might as well do it right -- in this case it greatly lessens your chances of getting caught!
Forcing US companies to play by US rules won't help. They'll simply contract everything out to less accountable companies and claim "positive deniability". Much like Walmart did here in the United States... "Yes, we were paying the contracting firm much less than we would have had to spend to hire our own janitorial staff, but we had NO reason to suspect they were using illegal immigrant labor!"
More like the classic picture of the mouse flipping off the eagle just before it's snatched up in the eagle's claws to be taken home for dinner... I personally would rather die running away as fast as I can like the wuss I truly am, but to each his own.
From what I've seen of the NEST code, it was an incredible crock of shit that appeared to have been begrudging written in C by assembly language programmers. All variables were global, and almost everything was an array. But that might have been just an early version.
The studies show red sea urchins can have a vast lifespan surpassing that of virtually all terrestrial and most marine animal species, and seem to show almost no signs of senescence... right up until the day that something kills them."
How exactly does one determine whether or not a sea urchin is senile?
I am at this very moment connecting to the internet through my neighbor's wireless router without his knowledge. I hope the RIAA doesn't send him a summons because of it! (I also hope my neighbor doesn't read slashdot, but if he had a clue, he would have turned on WEP in the router.)

Not only that, but do to our increased productivity, we can write poor code twice as fast as our offshore competitors!
Dude, you need to SERIOUSLY consider getting a Tivo!

Personally, I'm hoping most of the "Where are they now?" stories 5 years from now will contain some mention of a Federal Penitentery.

He'd never be convicted by a jury of his peers!
The martians don't like having their picture taken.
This site wouldn't happen to also, uh... keep a copy of the working code?
Yes, but then so do the names of most of the "My Little Pony" characters here.

The hotmail filters refuse to block email from hotmail staff, so good luck...
Please try to keep your priorities straight. Marketers are at best second on the list of people up against the wall when the revolution comes.
And people with two X chromasomes and a Y chromasome are... ?
How exactly does one determine whether or not a sea urchin is senile?
Yes, but "high school spends $2.2m on teachers and books" wouldn't have gotten mentioned on /. (or in any other media source, for that matter.)
