A planet with violent eruptions thats filled with methane gas offers hope for life on other planets? Does this mean theres hope of finding WMD's in Iraq?
From what I understand about Facebook's policies, it's probably easier to get kicked off than it is to have them delete your information. Just post pornography in your photo albums.
You're signing up for a service not a military draft. I, for one, think facebook exists to serve my purposes not their own. They obviously forgot that somewhere along the way.
Deactivate doesn't deactivate accounts. I still receive friends requests. Maybe I'm just too popular and facebook can't handle all the friends requests that are sent my way.
Finally, someone semi-credible has done a story about this. It's really about time. I've done just about everything to rid myself of their evil clutchs, but I have to go through thousands of records myself and delete everything. It would take an entire day to totally rid myself of facebook, and truth be told, I know my info would still be stored somewhere. When I wanted out of MySpace, I went in and pushed a button that said "delete account". If Facebook would just give me access to their databases, I'm sure I can get rid of my information in 10 minutes... and probably just about everything else. One word - EVIL.
Reknowned IT publisher Heise is already offering an even better solution "Reknowned" IT software developer Linus Torvald is already offering a better solution. There we go... fixed that for you... well sort of.
They didn't fix Racoon (IPsec IKE key manager). It's still busted. Worked fine in Tiger... Am I the only one who thinks Apple is getting out of control with the animal naming conventions? I'm not sure if you're talking about an operating system or a show on animal planet.
But this shit would never fly over here. He has a point. In the US, our congress concerns itself over more important matters like steroids in baseball. You Brits could take a serious lesson in ineptitude.
While I think "come on" is a fantastic legal argument, your point is somewhat moot. It doesn't matter what the law should be, it only matters what it is. I have to concur with a similar comment that essentially says the studio should "pay it's damn bills".
As an aside, with how much those movies grossed, I really believe the people who have legal rights deserve a hell of a lot more than 67,000. But in their own right, I'm sure they saw an increase in royality fees on book sales.
Some of the Internet's most powerful companies -- including Yahoo, Google, PayPal and AOL -- are brandishing a new weapon in the ongoing battle against e-mail fraud. They invented smarter users?
I was just perusing the source code of the Slashdot homepage, and I noticed that it: starts with an tag, includes dozens of
tags, uses the
/
combination to organize "unordered lists", and combines both the and the tags... just like my site does!
So? a program is a list of declarations followed by looping and decision structures. Just because you use the same constructs in development of an application or a model doesn't mean you can't still have legal rights to that design. Clearly, you don't understand how copyright works when it comes to software, it's protected in much the same way a work of literature (which is both a good and a bad thing) is protected.
I agree... it's always best to expedite the actual design process by totally ripping off someone elses work without letting them know. Good thing you don't work for a big company because it would likely get a lot smaller with a big fat lawsuit. Have fun with that.
!Insightful AT ALL. It is ridiculous to assume that a company would provide extensive functionality in every environment possible. Clearly you didn't choose Linux because of compatibility with Microsoft products, so what's your beef? Use FF 1.0 or something or Konqueror. Apple provides NO support for the iPod under Linux. Why aren't you mounting your soapbox against them? I've had issues with Flash under Linux - I don't see a Slashdot article berating them? I understand it's the trendy thing to make fun of the giant ape in the corner of the room, but it is unreasonable to assume perfect cross functionality. What am I even talking about? I think we should be happy Microsoft got it right in their own environment!
While I understand the argument that they are "entitled" to Internet Distro Royalities, I can't say that I fully agree. I guess I tend to put things into the context of what would the average company do if I came up with something novel on their dime. Maybe, I'd see some of the profit, but probably not, I can't see why we hold these people to higher standards. In other words, if I work for company A and devise a really good process for something. That company can basically use that process or parts of that process in just about anything they want. They own it. Maybe I need to renegotiate my terms with the company I work for because I don't agree with the way they're using their property. In the end, everyone will take the side of the little man over the behemoth, but just remember, the little man is raking in an assload of money as it is.
Like it or not, I don't think the garbage the writers were coming up with in the first place was that original. I think the networks should've sued them.
God, you guys are all insensitive. They HAD a technical guy to let them know what a ridiculously infeasable idea this was, but they fired him when their databases were hacked.
Still works with punch cards left over from Operation Paperclip Based on this comment, I have to assume you have insider knowledge of how our government works. Who are you really gnutoo?
I'm suprised they had the opportunity to FIT this in between steroids in baseball and cheating in the NFL. Wow. I'm still going to try to vote every one of them out, but when I do it, I imagine I might do it with a little less malice.

They could restore a recording that 6 decades old, but I can't seem to play the cd in my backseat.
nah - i quoted what he was saying, but I think the tags he put in the quote fucked it up.

It's a shame it generates electricity while walking. It'd probably be better if it zapped you because you weren't walking enough.
