I don't understand why anyone would want one of those little SMART cars with their horrible gas mileage. They only get around 35 mpg. A 300 horsepower Ford Mustang gets around 30 mpg. That's ridiculous when you think about it.
If you want a truly "green" car that gets good mileage, wait until the Elio starts rolling off the line (next year?). 84 mpg in a $7000 American made two seater.
There are plenty of websites that display no content of substance without javascript. If you've only come across one website that requires javascript, your websurfing habits are extremely limited.
And, no, I'm not going to make you a list of examples, it would be a much shorter list if you gave examples of websites that don't require javascript.
This scenario was played out in a novel called "Lights Out" by David Crawford. It's fiction, but I can see it going down in a manner very similar to that story.
Sorry, but this is a completely absurd comment. I'd like to see your car run without the electronics that have been installed in just about every car for the last thirty years. The only vehicles that will still run after an EMP will be specialty equipment and thirty year old cars.
In it, the whole world spends most of their time in an online world, all that is needed is a VR headset like Oculus Rift, and haptic gloves that input your hand's motion.
I see how Facebook dominates some people's lives exactly how the online world in the book is more important than real life. People like escaping the harsh reality of life.
I've been a member of three different unions throughout my life, and I've never seen the behavior you describe. I've heard it many times from anti-union people, but I've never actually seen it. I don't see why any union would want to make it difficult to fire a crappy employee. That only hurts the union.
Like the person you responded to, I have seen more than a few managers that aren't willing to be the one to document misconduct or poor performance, or are unwilling or afraid to be the one to actually confront an employee and/or pull the trigger on termination.
I'm down for the "developer in denial" status, but without knowing how the dev team works, I don't think it's fair to point at a single person with the blame.
This is the guy in charge of every federal prison in the United States of America, and he makes up a bullshit answer for a Congressman. I'm very disappointed in this Administration.
Proven track record innovating and improving iconic websites (CNET.com, Dice.com, Slashdot.org, Sourceforge.net) while protecting their voice and brand integrity
Not to mention CNET.com has been pretty much ruined. It's nothing but adware loaded crap now. Has SourceForge been messed with yet?
Stack Ranking might not work long-term, but the moderation at Slashdot has worked long term. Let's not give it all up by moving forward with the beta site.
It's obvious that the Slashdot Beta is a complete and utter failure. I don't care why, or who will take the blame, but somebody in charge needs to exercise some leadership and start over before this website is destroyed by someone's pride.
Start over and consider community input before redirecting people to a pile of crap.
While I might not be the customer in their new business model, I am indeed a paying customer. Does an asterisk not appear next to my UID for you?
I think that Dice would be incredibly stupid to move forward with their beta after today's protests. Since this is an almost entirely user-driven site, the users are the only reason people come here. Start driving the users away and what will they have left?
Mapping holes might be a smaller task in urban areas, but I assure you that's not the case in much of America. The two methods could easily be combined (map holes in urban/suburban areas, map coverage in rural areas) to make this an easier task, though.
Slashdot Mirror
How about if he said:
Once to get it, and once to get rid of it.
or
Once to get it, and once to make room for more.
Stick to fuel injectors?
Roommate or house/flatmate?
There's a significant difference in quality of life.
In the United States, those three terms are synonymous.
Well, actually, we don't use "flatmate", but "roommate" and "housemate" mean the same thing.

That's such a scary thought, but probably not far from being reality.
I was immediately reminded of the hardware in "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

How do those two products even compare? I don't see how they compete at all.

Wonder if an editor will reply to a three digit UID?
The solution is simple. Dump the beta and tell everyone that any proposed changes will come from the community (NOT "the audience").

I will be joining in the Slashcott from Feb 10-Feb 17. No on-topic replies today!

with 10 ft ceilings in the cellar, that could be an area 60 ft by 60 ft.
Yes, and I'm willing to pay for it. Isn't that why Steam exists? To sell programs?
