Ah, the summary was so close to getting the words 'perl' and 'readable' in the same sentence (possibly for the first time), but just couldn't quite pull it off.
Um, I'm sure I won't be the only one to ask this. But how in the hell does this prove that you are not the FBI, Secret Service, Police or whoever? Even if he was on campus at the time, I'm sure any authority that you'd want to fear could get to wherever they needed to be to take that picture in the same day that he asks for it.
Both squirrels and pigeons have a genetic fear of authority and an inate ability to spot federal agents. Hence by examining the expressions on their faces, someone experienced in such covert arts can instantly tell if the photo was take by law enforcement.
You also can often see the refections of badges in the critter's eyes if you blow up the photo. The same technique works with drug dealers, but they sometimes express displeasure at being photographed.
I have been studying these techniques as part of my CSI scriptwriting course.
I can't help thinking that the best thing Google could do on this is provide the server needs for utube.com to function whilst being hammered by the people incorrectly hitting the site. I don't think they would have much to complain about after that...
Hey this is Slashdot! Take your sensible, logical and fair proposal and shove it! We don't assume people have resonable motives for suing around here!
The fonts in emacs look a little strange (after dapper -> edgy upgrade), searched the forums and ound some people whos fonts were totally borked, but not quite my problem. Figured I'd wait a few days and see if someone fixes it.
Really though, if people want rock solid, either stick with dapper, or at least wait until the release has been out a few weeks/months before upgrading.
Can someone explain the "memory leak"? I'm using FF2 on Ubuntu (and before it 1.5 and 1., 0. etc) on an old P3 thinkpad with 256M ram - and FF using too much memory never causes me any problems, And I surf all day! And visit myspace! I do shutdown each night (saves electricity), but I have 8x less memory than so people I see complaining.
Do the "memory leaks" only appear if you have more memory?
In the future expect toll booths on the tracks. Granted, slowing down to hand change to the attendant once a lap might affect the realism a bit, but Sony's got to pay for those battery recalls somehow.
Personally, I think myspace is already 'uncooling' as you put it. It doesn't look like it if you browse around the site using the two most obvious ways - people's friends and comments - but this is because the sample is skewed by the fact that the 'cool' people are the ones with a zillion friends and who post millions of stupid flashing banner comments. If you take a more random sample you'll find loads of regular people there just hoping to find new friends, new music etc.
I know this because I've been searching around looking for people who might like my music*, and I've been pleasantly suprised at the people I've found. I'm not sure what the stats actually are, I don't think I've come across anyone over 50 (probably because of how I'm looking), but there are loads of people in all other age groups.
[ * at first this felt a bit like spamming, but since about 80% of the people I find accept the friend request I send, it doesn't feel like it any more ]
I associate soapboxes with "having something to say", not something that most of the youtube content is about. Then again the fact that Powerpoint is mostly used pointlessly hasn't harmed them.
The potassium hydroxide, a corrosive that can cause serious burns and can be harmful if inhaled, was cleaned up with towels and wrapped up in two rubber bags, Suffredini said.
Well, apart from the fragments that are travelling in the direction of the plane door and have a velocity high enough to make it through a member of cabin staff.
I don't agree. Sure, there will be ways round any protection, but then again all this stuff is out there on p2p anyway for anyone who can be bothered. For everyone else though... putting up a download is saying "you don't have to buy this, just have it", they're not likely to go buy stuff if you do that are they?
Slashdot Mirror
Heh, I was going for funny (I use perl every day), but I'll take interesting too.

Is sub-orbital space the not-so-final frontier? Is he boldly almost going?
Finally, a way for the slashdot crowd to display their love, that isn't banned by their restraining orders.

Yes, please replace the words "if not" with "and intentionally" when you comment on the dupe.

Ah, that's better.
Do you agree that Firefox really doesn't really have a memory usage problem?
If so what can you do to convince people of this so I don't have to hear so many people whining about it?
(This message comes to you from FF2.0 running on a T20 Thinkpad with 256M of ram, the user of which is now donning a flameproof suit)
I would like to know this too.
Yeah, then all we'd need to develop would be transparent cars.
I'm joking!

Yeah and seeing as it's slashdot they positively require that it's appeared somewhere else before and is old news.
He couldn't have planned it better if he had tried...

IMO real extreme programming should involve at least 3 of the following:
In space, no one can hear you clean.

Yeah, in related news the owners of RateYourPsyco.com were found hacked to death with their entrails arranged in the words "rate this!".
RateYourPsyco.com's registrar was not available for comment.
I don't think so... they didn't even bother to vandalize the guy's wikipedia page!
Then when you fast forwarded through, they'd be at the correct speed. True they'd last 6 minutes each which would eat into programme time...
but you could get round that by showing all the programmes 12x slower too... um, I think my head is about to explode...
..as long as you get them to do good stuff. Worked out great for the CIA and Osama afterall.
