These are the ones I'm getting too. They wouldn't be easy to do OCR on, and if filters tried to block graphically similar images, half my mom's e-cards that she sends me would get blocked.
If it was a corn farmer, or really any sort of vegetable farmer really, they would have dozens, hundreds of times more seeds at harvest time than they would at planting time. You do know where seeds come from, don't you?
Dodgeball allows you to keep specific other people from receiving your location updates, even if they're in your "friends" circle. They refer to it as the "ex-girlfriend" bug.
You should try allofmp3.com - you can choose the bitrate and format. Even ogg! Not to mention that it's about 1/10 the price of iTunes store. (and questionably legal)
Their download manager (not required) sits in the windows tray and downloads your requested songs onto your drive as soon as they're done being custom ripped for you, too. I have the download manager sitting on my home machine, and while I'm at work I can buy tracks from the store, and they're available for me to stream from Zina the second they're done. It's ideal.
If there's such a simple procedure for manually doing it, why isn't there an automated import? It's just silly that Thunderbird doesn't have a "import my Mozilla mail" option or even a "use my Mozilla mail directory" option.
If x is the number of active accounts, then if we delete y inactive accounts, then there would be (x-y) accounts. If we add more people, then the accounts would be better packed within the computer's memory. The simplicity gained by such a maneuver would be represented by the greek letter rho, which I can't make on this keyboard. Since the operations necessary to process the essential tasks would be simpler, then Q.E.D. it would be more better.
Of course the halls are hollowed! How else are you supposed to walk through them?
Ooooh, you mean "hallowed"? That's a differrent story. The halls of the Javits Center are certainly not fucking "hallowed". If you're going to use a word:
a) know which word you're using, and spell it right b) know what it means
My main gripe about Tivo right now is that I can't record one program and watch another at the same time. UltimateTV and even DirecTivo have this capability, or alternately the ability to record two shows at the same time.
The specs for the new Tivo make no mention of this.
While I'm not into the tactile thing, and I'm in the process of ripping my ~1000-CD collection to hard drive, I agree the artifact is important.
You can tell as much about a person by their music collection (vinyl too!) as you can by their book collection. It says everything about their past experience, their interests, their education, their taste.
After I rip the CDs to hard drive, am I going to sell them or put them in a closet? Hell no! I've been exposed to too much new music by people who've seen what's already there and said, "hey, have you heard this band?"
And to respond to the guy who thinks it's an ego thing and that logic says I'll never listen to most of it - how many of those books in your collection are you going to read again? How often? While it would take me a few years of 3 records a day to get through my whole collection, I can guarantee that I have indeed listened to every single item I own, and can tell you what it's like, what the best parts are, and if it's not really what I'm into anymore but might be again someday. You're not entirely wrong about it being an ego thing, but you missed with your reasoning.
I haven't seen any info on what they're looking for in contestants, what the procedure is for auditions, etc. The show may be part of an already dying genre, but I'll be damned if I don't want to at least TRY to get up in space.
There was no URL to a news source in this story - just a "I heard this story". How do we know this even happened? Does anyone have more direct info on the case?
offtopic - I must be blind, but I couldn't find a way to post at the top level of the thread....
Of course, this would also mean that if no substance remotely similar to DNA were evident in the skulls, they're more likely to be alien (if they're not complete fakes) - eh?
"Unfortunaty when the mothership does land, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins will be the only ones aboard."
In my opinion, that would be way cool! Maybe Sun-Ra would be there, too - as navigator.
As to the issue of why only UFO nuts seem to find UFO artifacts, another explanation may be that they're the only ones looking. Consider the old conspiracy standby, the number 23. Once you start looking, you'll see 23 everywhere. Does this mean the 23's weren't there before you were looking, or does it mean that the act of looking causes more 23's to appear?
If I'm actively keeping an eye out for UFOs and UFO artifacts, you can be darn sure I'm going to find more of them than someone who thinks UFO phenomena are a load of crap. Whether the phenomena I spot are "genuine" or not is a different story. But if you ask me to bet on who'll discover actual evidence first, the UFO nut or the skeptic, I'm going to bet on the UFO nut.

I think that would rule!

I think that's a grand idea.
Let me prove mathematically how it would work:
If x is the number of active accounts, then if we delete y inactive accounts, then there would be (x-y) accounts. If we add more people, then the accounts would be better packed within the computer's memory. The simplicity gained by such a maneuver would be represented by the greek letter rho, which I can't make on this keyboard. Since the operations necessary to process the essential tasks would be simpler, then Q.E.D. it would be more better.
Yeah, because that strategy has been working so well already.
How old are you exactly?

Man or Astroman? Had some great dot-matrix songs on their last album. Really pretty songs, actually.
It seems like actually being able to buy the product you can't find anywhere else is pretty valuable. Would you pay 3% for that?
And that's one reason I go to slashdot.
Like the states are going to be able to go through the code, understand it, and determine if MS is lying within 10 years.

Actually, yes that would be funny. It'd be a huge "fuck you" to all the complainers. I hate JJ too, but I'd have to give Lucas props if he did that.

Clearly you're an ignorant clod.

Duh...
Guranteed way to spot what you're looking for - ask where it is. I found it.

offtopic - I must be blind, but I couldn't find a way to post at the top level of the thread....
No, I don't think it's adequate. There aren't enough negative points to give this guy. I wasn't born with enough middle fingers....
