unconcerting, noun: The disconcerting tendency of musicians to abandon a live performance based livelihood towards the practice of recording an album every other year and expecting it to feed their agents for a hundred years. See also: Frivolous, Middle-man
You know, it would be equally trivial to just (selectively, perhaps) block the and tags like you block now.
Add an interactive whitelist (click to show) á la noscript and you're still safe from christmas-tree induced epileptic seizures.
Web standards, on the other hand, will have progressed and become better.
Presently, the majority of the students I am watching as I write this have elected not to open their book and participate. Instead they have chosen to engage themselves in useless, and frankly, inane and nonsensical conversation.
Yes, they ought to follow your example and read slashdot during class!
At least in this thread you can be certain that every poster has done some proof-reading of their post, lest the grammar nazis catch a whiff of they're (see what I did there?) errors...
You know, that's a bizarre occurance. Slashdot takes down sites so much the name has become a verb. Yet, nobody reads the article before posting. How do so many geeks manage that? I mean, I post my knee-jerk reactions to a site, but at least I have the courtesy to not cost them bandwidth.
There's your answer. Those who make comments don't read the articles. Those who read the articles don't comment.
I didn't RTFA.
You could perform this exact hack for your purposes by coupling your usual remote with a cheap cellphone and then leaving the bundle in the garage. Call the cell phone, it "pushes" your garage door opener's button and opens the door.
It can also be done with/to a computer, TV, bath tub, golf ball washer, etc.
I can't remember things when I'm standing. I think its because I keep all my thoughts in my lap and when I stand up, they fall on the floor and roll under the desk.
I always wondered what the rounded corners on my lapt^Wnotebook were for!
There are please-do-not-X flags in PDF for all kinds of funny things, like "do not save form data" or "do not copy text" and so on. I could totally see the TSA requesting a please-do-not-print-on-black-media flag and having Adobe honor it in Acrobat...
This study shows Scandinavians don't get any increased tumors. Don't try to pass that off as evidence that Mericans won't. Haven't you heard all the complaints -- do you think people are crazy?
As a scandinavian watching the U.S. from a safe distance, let me be the first to say: "Yes."
Too much math (proof reading, hehe) and and not enough proof-reading. That should be:
What you as my employer think about my personal hobbies has no bearing as long as it does not adversely affect my performance.
If I am software engineer, it should be as illegal for my boss to fire me based on a sex video s/he found on Internet as it would be to make me have sex with him/her as a condition of my employment.
(Emphasis mine)
Grandparent was stating his/her opinion, not necessarily actual fact. I agree with this opinion.
If I happen to enjoy smearing whipped cream on my head in my free time it is none of my employer's concern. Even if I willfully record a video of myself smearing said cream and publish it online, it still should not be grounds for termination of my employment.
What you as my employer think about my personal hobbies has no bearing as long as it does not conversely affect my performance.
How do you ask for a deal like this with a straight face, while not offering quid pro quo?
No really, I'd love to know how.
You promise the EU governments to share the information you find on their citizens - information which said EU governments want but aren't allowed to dig up themselves.
This was named publicly as an important reason in the FRA debacle where Swedish international communication was to be tapped, the FRA declared that they wanted to show up at "Intelligence trades" with something to show in order to play with the big boys. On the one hand, they probably get a lot of juicy russian traffic to share with the world, on the other they can probably trade some information with states like Finland which aren't allowed to spy on their own citizens.
On the one hand, I appreciate the parallel and see the coolness potential, on the other, have people really banged rocks throughout history?
My Linear Systems professor had an interesting expression to explain the Impulse Response: "Just kick the system and see what it does".
Isn't that usually how we start figuring out how stuff works?
If one really wants this on a single-user system (where one is the administrator, of course), one could just allow that special user account passwordless rights to execute the package manager as root. Granted, it's not with signed-packages-only, but it's otherwise the same thing.
/etc/sudoers:
jane cube.janesworld.net = (root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/awesome-packager
If an admin thinks this is a good idea, the user is probably using a pointy-clicky type user interface and adding "sudo" before the command in a shortcut is easy and transparent.
But then you need a fat binary for your little installation program.
Or just have it use some already cross-platform scripting engine which can run the same script on all supported architectures. Python comes to mind, although the GUI portion would still require some care to be widely available.

Wait, I'm confused. I thought that was the American way(tm)!
(1 billion dollars)
Muahahahahahahaaaaaaa!
... block the <canvas> and <video> tags like you block now...
There, fixed that for myself.

Also, You should consider who you trust more with your money/transactions. Paypal or Pirates? I know who I prefer
If anyone is going to implement a decent DVB-T decoder with ASCII rendering, you just know it'll be running under emacs...
Sad but true.

if the ladies did their best to look over the separators between urinals.
Well, if she's standing at a urinal peering over the separator, that's a pretty lame disguise for some good-old-fashioned peeping...
... they have this unique shape so that they are distinguishable from all other signs even when covered in snow.
It's also a good thing that they can be recognized when facing away from the driver, i.e. you can see when roads crossing yours have a stop sign.
So it would become a misgnomer to call it "GNOME" if this passes?
You wear clothes in public, don't you?
Yes, but only because last time I tried not to, they put my face in their database.

They already DID produce it. Well, most of it, with a few exceptions.
