Bilbo was going to say "Give me a moment, I have to check slashdot to see how my latest comment was moderated", but all he could squeak out was "Slashdot!"
But of-course this kid was not an American standing right in front of the White House and yelling 'Down with Reagan!', I suppose that's the difference here.
Horsehockey, This sort of thing has happened many times before in this country. The problem happens because once it hits the registry the registry cannot legally be altered. So if the buyer acted in good faith it is up to the (accidental) seller to recover the funds from the crook. It doesn't happen often because most people are aware of it.
So the "seller"/victim has to constantly monitor the registry or hire someone to do so? I like the "buyer beware" system much better. At least they know they're buying.
The owner can't protect himself against fraudulent sales because he doesn't know a transaction is taking place. The buyer, on the other hand, knows that a transaction is taking place and that there is a certain risk that it's fraudulent.
In fact, the buyer could hire some Nigerian scammers to sell the house, assuming the buyer really wanted it.
Am I supposed to know what a "blanket software license" is?
If American English is your primary language, yes.
If not, know that here in America, we license our electric blanket software (the programs that tell a blanket when its getting too hot). Sure, some hip nerds install Linux on theirs so they can literally feel the system load, but most people just think of electric blankets as appliances.
Will more of the script kiddie hacking packages have "hardcore" venomous snake related names and graphics(ASCII for the l33t) or "hilarious" anal violation pun derived ones?
Neither. ASP is short for aspie. The hacking packages will have very descriptive names with poor user interfaces. Also, I don't understand what's so funny about violations of "am/are not a lawyer". Pretending to give real legal advice can get you in hot water. In some countries, you could get sent to prison and get "am/are not a lawyer"-ly violated.
Why should it matter who benefits from use of a product after its original sale? If the original customer uses it for the rest of their life, then the company "loses" the potential sales from that same customer. The customer could have bought the software each time! Instead, the customer sells the software, and if they need to use it again ten years later, they will buy another copy; maybe from the company.
I've noticed an increase in people claiming to be old friends on facebook lately. "rofl, u remember me." un uhn. Give me a better "how you know me" answer. Even then, my friends get a fairly empty profile.
Indiana is an at-will state. They could have fired him for nothing, literally. If he's being "framed" then it's likely that it's someone not in HR at the company, and not his superiors either. It's more likely that someone not affiliated with the company just said "I want to run a scam in XYZ industry. Who's the head sysadmin for ABC, the local leaders in XYZ? Ah, got his email, now a few quick internet searches... perfect. Now my website looks totally legit. Cyber-Scam go!" They probably never thought the sysadmin would get in trouble for it.
The moment they make accusations against you is the moment you should stop working for them.
Hell yeah. Instead of "Oh dear, it looks like someone stole your identity! Let our legal dept. help you clean that up." they instead went right to: "You're suspended. Oh, and we'll likely be firing you too, because we're obviously too stupid to do some fact-checking and common sense." My name happens to be ethnically-unique in this area too, but in its country of origin it's as common as "smith" or "jones". A "unique" name is often less unique than people think. I happen to know three of "me" (first and last name) that live in this state alone, and several more out of state. If a non-government-security-paranoid company decides to suspend you because a name matches (whether or not ID theft occurred), then they'll screw you over in other ways because they've proven that they're not employee-focused.
If they're not in phase with the source, it doesn't matter. Would the market accept indoor lighting that doesn't bother some people?
I posit: florescent lighting. I know some people whose migraines are set off by fluorescents (they use incandescents in their personal offices; luckily not cubes), but it's still the dominant light source for large offices.
Now I can see the consequences of the absence of gov regulations on efficiency. The washing machine is a model which is technologically on par with the cheapest model on sale in supermarkets in Morocco.
The "efficient" front-load washers are worthless. Just like low-flow toilets often need more than one flush, I often have to wash clothing twice just to remove deodorant on the armpits (without sweat; just ordinary mechanical deposits). I'd hate to see how poorly they handle a real stain. Give me a top-load agitating inefficient clothes washer any day.
Some people can't see the 60Hz flicker. I can happily raise my monitors to huge resolution @60Hz, and only remember when someone complains my monitor is "jumpy". My eyes must "record" at less than 60Hz.
And, of course, in two or three years once everyone has replaced their old bulbs with CFLs, the government will suddenly discover that CFLs contain mercury and therefore we must all replace them with LEDs instead.
And considering that CFLs are only economically sound if they are used for longer than that (or actually longer than they last), there's only a net increase in $$ spent by consumers.
Slashdot Mirror
is there ANY other country in the world, which is being financed by china ? huh ?
Yes. At the very least, China is.

obviously, otherwise he'd be a czar now.
In American English, prick(slang) just means stuck up snob.

hope "bacon" doesn't come to mean something else
Do you mean regular bacon or Canadian (which is really ham)?
Nearly all of those proprietary apps are themselves clones.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
But three copylefts do.

I foresee people calling t.co "taco"
She realized she didn't have a face for radio?
This sadly convinced some journos to come up with wildfire titles such as "Google damages users' brains, author claims"
Don't blame them for their mistake. Google damaged their brains.
If your mechanic thinks that "The Little Mermaid" was a Shakespearean drama, that really doesn't affect his ability to fix your car. Same with this.
As long as he doesn't have the right to vote.
This would make more sense:
If your mechanic thinks that Keynesian Economics is a sham, that really doesn't affect his ability to fix your car. Same with this.
As long as he doesn't have the right to vote.
I don't see what confusing a really old fairy tale with a really old play has to do with voting. Or general intelligence.

Or they foresaw a slashdotting and planned for 6 9's.

Except people are still allowed to make and sell buggy whips after 2012-2014.
