Uhhh you DO know that/. is an American site yes? it even says so in their TOS! So basically what you do doing is no different than me going to a Japanese site and saying "Speak fucking English!"
Look, there is a story about a specific GLOBAL company that is being read by a GLOBAL audience yet the editor think that being specific about what who it apples to doesn't matter because the site is American?
Your analogy is garbage - I referring to the content, not the language used. - I'm saying, provide the context that is required to make the story useful to those who may not be American.. I know, bizarre concept.....
Do something notable, and maybe/. will have a story about you. "Dickwad in Greater Southeastern Bostwanistan consumes 5 keyboards rectally". Then you can feel all warm and fuzzy because your exploits got your country mentioned on Slashdot. Until then, chill the fuck out.
Huh? Where did you get that from? You just sound like a jerk.
Somehow you have interpreted my post to be "Oh I want this to be about me" - when it was "Oh I wish they'd make it clear what the hell they're talking about" - you seem to have comprehension issues - or was that just some other assumption you made...
How hard is it to specify the location to which something applies? It is information that is useful to the reader.
Hell why state any specifics at all, let's just leave everything to assumption.
If it were about a nation other than the US, it would say so in the summary
Why is this? I've already suggested as to why this is...
Don't the Slashdot editors know that Slashdot is read globally? I'm so sick of reading Slashdot articles where the author assumes that the all readers live across the street from them!
Common, how hard is it to provide some geographical context to your articles..
FYI: Virgin Mobile exists in more that one country (Australia, Canada, France, India, Qatar, South Africa, UK and US) - I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to all operations.
Wake up! There are lots of countries that have access to the Internet, pull you heads out of your a**es and recognise the rest of the world exists.
I think Android is becoming a threat to Apple iP?d products. Apple don't have anything new to offer at the moment, they need to give their users something..
There is no such thing as continuous probabilities. Once all probabilities are determined you enter the realm of all knowledge. Having all knowledge clearly enables one to know what "is" and what "is not".
And I expect there was a rather large switch from incandescent to compact fluorescent globes around the same time - which may have given greater savings than losses from those plasmas....
But what on earth kind of argument is that? Electric cars wont be a problem coz plasma TVs weren't.... How absurd.

Good points, and I agree.
My issue still persists in that you still need to be subjective in determining the objective criteria - I'm not claiming there is a better way though.
The parent to which I replied did not seem to be referring to the same objective measures you raise.
The people who die in car crashes probably have a better average quality of life.
Wow, that's a very subjective point of view.
What you find important for *your* quality of life may differ greatly for other individuals.
And to discount another's worth based on your perception of their life quality may not be appropriate.

Now there's a challenge.
I think Android is becoming a threat to Apple iP?d products. Apple don't have anything new to offer at the moment, they need to give their users something..
aaaaaaaa, I jest. Obviously my sarcasm was missed :)

Ah, thanks... Moving my deposits asap!
Please tell me who gives you this rate? I'm wanting to move my deposits as my bank has just dropped my rate to 4.6% pffft!
Pride.
I just did a completed listing search on eBay (Australia) and a used G5 will fetch you between $200 - $600...
Agreed...
My post didn't express my point well..
My point was just that the current purchasers are most likely not in the highest risk group.
I'm going to speculate that the hybrid's target market is not representative of the overall road users.
Are your V8, Super/Turbo Charged street race car driving types buying these hybrids?
Who poses the greater risk to pedestrians?
Yeah, just like it... Except I didn't say that.
Oh well...
Yes but plasma TVs replaced CRT TVs.
And I expect there was a rather large switch from incandescent to compact fluorescent globes around the same time - which may have given greater savings than losses from those plasmas....
But what on earth kind of argument is that? Electric cars wont be a problem coz plasma TVs weren't.... How absurd.
What if they were productive CPU cycles?
I have yet to see *one* single site that requires Firefox, I have lost count of the sites that require Flash.
Same here..
But that's because we all use Firefox, right?
I haven't read the article or patent but that summary sounds pretty close to a patent on 'things'....
Please tell me we're not there.
Thanks, that is exactly what I been wanting - Awesome!
So user impact being considered when assessing a bug's criticality is uncommon?
Huh? lack of wiring is not the only benefit of wireless.. How about being untethered to your network? That sounds like a pretty large benefit to me..
Shhh don't tell 'em.
Admittedly I did not RTFA, but I'd assume that you can't just write, scribble, etc on these...
The majority of short life printouts that I use at work end up with notes, amendments and changes scribbled on them. It's a good system.
Unless I can do this on this new medium, I can't see it being useful in our offices.
