That's what a restaraunt owner told me last year, but I just looked it up on wikipedia and google and found nothing about it being endangered. So I assume I was lied to, or the restaraunt owner was misinformed.
So THAT'S where the switch to the cloaking device is! Mine's been on since I bought the car used (no manual), damned runners run out in front of my car, joggers walk out in front of my car, people pull out right in front of me so obviously my car's cloaked.
First I thought it was a Romulan cloaking device, but then I remembered you need a black hole for one of them and my car gets way too good a mileage for anything that heavy to be in it, so I thought Klingon, but now I'm pretty sure it's a Bistromathic SEP field. In fact I'm sure it's an SEP field.
here in central Illinois we have two seasons: Freezing cold and blistering humid hot. As the Uncyclopedia says, "There are two seasons: Blizzard, and Tornado". Also synonymous with "Winter and Road Construction" in the North.
It's rare when you're in the car without either the air or heat being on in the car.
One downmodding won't hurt. I get downmodded all the time and my karma's excellent. this comment was modded "troll" for asking an honest question; apparently the mods thought I was knocking my favorite browser.
In fact, I'm modding myself down now by checking the "no karma bonus" box. On the whole, slashdot moderation works pretty well, despite a few bad moderations here and there.
I saw this on Yahoo News this morning, I think it was an AP or UPI story so it could have been the same one, but the article I saw didn't even mention sushi, but different species of fish, and named the species that were misrepresented.
One sample was from an endangered species.
Seems that it should be a government function, say the FOOD and drug administration, to not only make sure that your food won't kill you but that what you pay for is what you get.
Restaraunts here sell walleye, but walleye is in dangered and illegal (at least accorsing to a restaurant owner I talked to) so they sell pollack and call it walleye. IMO it should be illegal to put "ribeye steak" on the menu and serve you dog.
True, I've only known a few wealthy people, but I thought these Nigeria scams were shotgunned out to everyone, not targeted. I'm middle calss and I've gotten tons of them. I don't know anyone who hasn't gotten them.
According to Douglas Adams, the secret to flying is to aim at the ground and miss, but you have to be distracted to miss. I guess they weren't distracted enough.
All these responses to my original post which stands modded at -1 troll, look guys it's NOT a fucking troll; I use and love Firefox. I want to know what's better about the new one! Not ONE of all these responses did a single damned person say why it will help ME to upgrade!
Yours came the closest. "Firefox 3 is a much better web browser than firefox 2"
What's better about it? What improvements does it bring? One guy said it was crap, unless it's better I don't want to upgrade.
"Open" and "free" are two different things. I could write a program and include the source with all distributions and still retain all copy rights if I so chose. Diebold could, too. They could easily have used Linux as these machines' OS, and published the source code while retaining and reserving all rights.
Don't think you can't make money off Linux. Have you seen the "Megatouch" game machines in the bars? They run Linux.
In my county you get a stub from the ballot (well, you used to with the old machines) without your preferences marked, and a small sticker with an American flag that says "I voted".
BTW, the story's title "Diebold Admits Ohio Machines May Lose Votes", uh, this is slashdot, and as such shouldn't it be "Diebold Admits Ohio Machines May Loose Votes"? Actually if some nefarious Diebold person did it on purpose it would even be gramatically correct!
I hate it when commercial software nags you to upgrade, but having firefox nag you is even worse. Not even trying to RTFA because it's surely slashdotted, I wish the summary would have said why they're so hell-bent on getting users to upgrade.
When Sangamon County got the new (non-diebold) nachines, I was pleased that the machine spit out an actual paper ballot with human-readable votes.
Last election (primaries this year) the ballit was not human readable. I wonder why they changed it. Of course, this IS Illinois, where we're so patriotic that even being dead doesn't stop us from voting.
There is no reason or excuse to not have human-readable paper ballots.
By "hunger" I don't necessarily mean food. However, in the US the poor are forced to work to get benefits of any kind, including food stamps. It isn't the poor who are at the government's teat, it's their greedy, stingy employers who won't pay a living wage. Food stamps and the Earned Income Tax Credit are an indirect subsidy to McDonalds and Wal Mart. The way the poor are treated in the US is a stain on society and a moral outrage.
No, Windows' popularity is only a small part of the reason it is the only OS with viruses in the wild. The biggest reason is that it uses the discredited "security through obscurity", but it, too isn't the only reason Windows is insecure.
Mac and Linux are based on UNIX, which was developed for mainframes; mainframes have always needed security. Windows was developed before the wide popularity of the internet for stand alone computers. Stuff like Active-X is fine on a computer until you network it.
There are millions of Macs sold every quarter. If you could write a Mac virus you could have a huge botnet, but so far there has been no evidence that anyone has been able to.
True, tapes you made yourself were usually (not always) better than the factory tapes, but often recording an album wasn't an option. I have a lot of factory tapes (although a lot more home made ones).
You already have pulsating magnetic fields in your house. In the US, AC current is 60 hz, so you have a constant 60 hz magnetic field. That hum you hear is the oscillating magnetic field moving steel back and forth.
Your TV has a tremendous magnetic field, as do subwoofers.
The magnetic field won't hurt you. My dad was an electrical lineman for forty years, often working on the 30,000 volt towers. He couldn't wear a mechanical wristwatch because it would become magnetized. He just turned 77 and he's healthier than a lot of guys my age.
If magnetic fields caused cancer, linemen would die of lukemia right and left.

Govenment's function is to protect you from me. Otherwise there's no need for government at all.
So, since you can't get 100% of your energy locally you just say "fuck it" and keep drilling?

Loose votes sink boats!

Been there, done that, still think it sucks.

Your documents contains LOTS of yummy personal information for people to steal
No they don't. I'm paranoid and don't keep that kind of documents on the computer.

You say that like we know which Springfield. Lisa Simpson, is that you?
No, but Gail Simpson is an alderman here. If she looks a bit cartoonish in that newspaper picture, you should see the mayor and the guy who runs the power plant here.
I realise it's just anecdotal. Also, there isn't much cancer in my family.
Yes, it is, and I dislike her views as well as her arrogance, but she has zero chance of winning; a vote for her is a vote for "none of the above".
I'm most likey voting for Barr, the Republican running under the Libertarian party.
