1) Yes, we all know about correlation and causation
2) This is statistically interesting. It is interesting enough to warrant further study, which is probably why the silly report was written in the first place.
Side Note: I'm a sysAdmin, my Ex was a teacher, we had 1 boy and two girls (Boy first, followed by two girls). I guess teachers/nurses are better at picking their offspring than sysAdmins!
What I did was to separate it into three smaller boxes, and then drove down to the goodwill dropoff late at night and skillfully slid each box into the night drop-off slot.
There, I GAVE it away.
It's not my problem if they throw it out because they don't know what to do with a SCSI-1 to SCSI-1 cable, or boxes of 5-1/4 disks.
Since you can't get to groklaw to find out (PJ's server is being slammed right now)
Mo'G recently wrote and published a highly vitriolic attack on PJ, including things like personal phone numbers, addresses, and the address of her mother's home.
Please turn in your/. membership card on the way out the door please. It's obvious that not only are you not a virgin, but that you've managed to do "it" twice.
Unless, of course, you've managed to adopt two kids and made room for them in your mother's basement, in which case you can keep your/. membership!
is enormous potential for the NYT to cut costs by switching (not entirely, of course) to a web/subscription content delivery model
You, my friend, obviously do not work in the northeastern part of the country...
If you did, you would know that a VAST number of people ride the train/subway to work every morning, and depend upon the paper editions of the NYT/WSJ to have something to do on that hour ride into work in the morning.
If it's dead, it is DEAD. No plugging it into a box to write zeros and ones.
Your BEST bet is to eat the cost of the drives, and then degauss and then melt/feed to industrial grinder the remains.
Maybe you can cut some kind of deal with the bendor to just return the PCB top part, or maybe part of the drive case, but most likely they will laugh at you for trying to waste their time.
E.B. could easily download all of Wiki-land, dump it onto their own servers, and then merge their own content with Wikipedia, and then sell advertising on their site to make $$$.
This isn't necessarily a bad idea. E.B. carries clout in the real world, and can have their own editors "Approve" modifications to articles before letting the rest of the world view them.
Well, MAYBE, if YOU'D come out of YOUR mother's basement (Or have you moved into the attic now to be closer to your HAM radio equipment), you'd recognize EVEN subtler sarcasm....
But maybe your mother doesn't approve of that either...
Also, If JMS said he was going to make a web-series using free labor from the USC and UCLA film schools, but only if people coughed up $30 each for the first season, then I have my credit card out in a second!
A) If they started making hour long shows, I'd go to $20.00. Without any changes, I might go to $15.00.
B) No, I wouldn't pay more just because one actor is starring in it. Besides, they had Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies in the latest episode. I might be willing to pay more if they interesting actors doing reasonable walk-ons. Keanu Reeves as Blue command, Dustin Hoffman as the voice of the computer, etc. (Sorta-like The Simpsons)
C) For RvB, I'd prefer the Coke commercial before the episode. For other shows, I'd gladly take an in-episode reference. (Somehow having Caboose grab a Coke from the refrigerator just doesn't work for me, or the series).

Somebody wake me when Halo-3 ships... That's when I'll think about getting one.
I just hope they have enough spam filters to stop all the freaking Martian Buddy spam!
Two things
1) Yes, we all know about correlation and causation
2) This is statistically interesting. It is interesting enough to warrant further study, which is probably why the silly report was written in the first place.

Way off-base, and totally wrong thing to do.
My kids (age 13 and 17)
Kids? You have KIDS?

It's funny, laugh!

I wish I had mod points! You'd get "insightful" for sure!

Oh geez, you just don't ever learn do you?
OTOH, I'm glad to see your ISP didn't kick you off since your last adventure here on /. with the
Crawlspace TankCam.
Why Not?

I thought only in Old People in North Korea cloned T-Rex?
Me? I'm waiting for singles.google.com too go live.
Oh, just freaking great....
They survived the eruption, but get burned to a crisp from their servers melting down from /.

Well, maybe if you'd come out of your mother's basement once in a while, you'd see that not all Catholics are child molestors....

Incoherent? You mean like regular plain old light?
As opposed to:
Coherent. Like what laser light is.

As a side note, I allready pay $10 per season to download new and never before seen episodes of my favorite program.
I wonder if they'll ever sell out to Coke and/or Pepsi though...
You forgot...
No married people or Players please.
Well, it's bad enough that Google continues to foster the lie that Shakespeare was an English playwright, instead of a true Klingon Warrior.
Next thing you know, Google will be telling everyone that Brie cheese is from America!
