No matter whether I'm dealing with polarization (some lenses in glasses in same batches are reversed or rotated), or LCD shutters, I've never seen a "3D" setup where the some of the glasses don't require a little tweaking; there is rarely automatic success.
If you are going to feel embarrassed when someone exposes things that you have done, the solution is quite simple: don't do bad things.
As I pointed out to someone else here, the response to "We have teh scret murder video that government doesn't want you to see!" is the same whether the government is evil or not. If they do wrong things, then they investigate you to see how you found out. If they don't do wrong things, they investigate you to see if you know something they don't (like a rogue government official that needs to be arrested). Now, if Wikileaks had announced, and then wikileaks suddenly had a Hellfire missile hit the server room, then I might be more inclined to agree with you.
Also it provokes a reaction from the government, and thereby shows to what lengths they will go to suppress it.
Or investigate it. The government isn't "The Monolithic Government". If FBI hears about some DoD murder coverup, don't you think that they'll want to investigate it? If CIA investigates something, are they going to be so obvious that some putz from wikileaks knows he's being watched 24/7? Some scenarios:
Wikileaks says it has something, DoD did bad.
DoD is investigating the leak
FBI is investigating DoD misbehavior
CIA is investigating DoD misbehavior (overseas murder is their department, not military's)
Wikileaks says it has something, DoD didn't do bad.
DoD MPs are investigating the allegation
FBI is investigating the allegation
CIA is investigating the allegation
Wikileaks says it has something, DoD did or didn't do bad, and the government doesn't care what the DoD does while on duty
No one investigates anything
Scenario one is what you suspect, but notice how scenario two looks exactly the same, and is less paranoid? Scenario three is bad, because it means the Govt doesn't care, but since someone is obviously investigating, at least scenario one or two is more likely than three.
Whether you agree with healthcare or not. You have to know that the way in which the US federal government is coming by these powers is utter bullshit.
And after using the BS methods to obtain powers people want it to have, the Fed can use the same BS methods to gain powers no one wants it to have.
You can't even sit around that thing. When we game, we don't even need a table unless we're going crazy with a big fight scene or a war. Biggest advancement for gaming that I might invest in? A $400 projector to show maps/media, and maybe I might make it a "surface" table by frosting some plexiglass. Tada, digital and china-marker with minis. At least the "cheaper" table looks like you can sit around it (but not with those drawers pulled out).
What major deficiency is there in the Safari browser?
Try viewing large animated gifs like the weather radar on http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/index_loop.php
I can grab the image on a server, split it into parts, and have javascript show me each image, but somehow, an animated gif larger than 2MB is blocked by safari.
You don't have a right to be anonymous to your employer.
Actually, you do. Your employer also has the right not to hire you if you're anonymous or to fire you if he finds out you're not who you say you are. But no one is going to arrest you because you worked for someone who didn't know your real name.
Now taxes, on the other hand will be a pain if you're not up front with your employer. As long as you don't mind being audited annually, it's no different than working for yourself as a contractor to your employer, except your employer is withholding taxes for your alias.
Does this mean that CIA, DoD, et al will be dropping Sun requirements since this is now a foreign company that likes to change the rules (although I'm sure they all have support contracts, so technically nothing changes for them)? I was told by a CIA headhunter once that Sun was the only *nix they used due to some Congressional mandate of some sort (although that was almost a decade ago).
Back in the day, FF installers for windows didn't require admin rights; anywhere a user could install was fair game. I don't know if that's still true.
It isn't. You have to be admin now. This gets annoying when I get update notices on a regular account and don't want to shut down and switch over to admin to update.
But did you install into c:\Program Files\ or into your own user dir? I haven't installed it as a non-admin for a long time.
The way I see it, no browser should be designed to require admin rights. All that it needs is a sandboxed environment for temporary files. When this mantra gets in the developers' heads, such exploits will no longer be possible. Of course, by that time, other type of exploits will be invented, but we'll cross that bridge when we reach it.
The way I see it, no browser updates should be designed to require admin rights. Back in the day, FF installers for windows didn't require admin rights; anywhere a user could install was fair game. I don't know if that's still true. But, what if the core executables were owned by root, but updates could be owned by various users? i.e. on opening, browser checks web for updates, if it finds some, it downloads the updated exe or dll to local user dir, and then restarts itself using the new version. If no updates are found on the web, it checks local user dir to see if there were updates previously downloaded, and restarts using the latest downloaded update. Then every user can update their browser.
Even better: Make the command line browser updater work _only_ on the command line so that sysadmins can update hundreds of machines at a time. Why do command line browser updaters need to open a GUI for a progress bar?

How does publication of submission exactly work? I had posted the same article nearly 3 hours before this one and yet it was not picked.
A lot of times, we don't use a particular story on a particular day, but at some later point, someone else submits it, and it ends up getting used. We have 4 to 6 guys working together to post things on Slashdot. What one of us finds stupid, the others might find interesting. Or it just might be the rest of the stuff that's going on that day. There are a variety of factors: the personality of the post, the quality of the submission, or even the quantity of stories already posted when your submission entered the queue.

Non-violent felons may be able to vote in most states not sure. A non-violent felony would be computer crimes.
Computer crimes like vote machine tampering?
Ha! I'm glad I wasn't drinking or you'd owe me a new laptop!
Why not force users to copy/paste a URL if they really want to see the webpage their "friend" sent them?
Whatever happened to the Great American Melting Pot?
It called the kettle the N word. But it's okay, because the Pot is black too.

I don't have anything to worry about right?
Depends. Are you communist, libertarian, atheist, gun-clinging fundamentalist Christian, or Irish?
Tracking Pedophiles by Phrenology sounds kind of creepy. There's also a public health issue with lice and other parasites.
Luckily, Alien Alloys require no Elerium-115 to create.

You're talking about a straightrail table, or carambole table. I'd rather roll dice on a pocketless table, but to each his own. ;)

Finding someone who isn't part native American in the USA is a lot easier.
Not in Mexico.
Ubuntu enters beta every six months. It's news for those of us who like beta-testing Ubuntu.
And it's more important than that for those of us that like to stick with a LTS version of Ubuntu; this is the first Beta in a while.
Lucky Llama sounds so much better than Lucid Lynx and is happier, more funny.
No, really. Some pages render entirely differently under lynx than under (e)links.
