Dear Friend,
I am writing to you in relation to a proposition I hope you can help me for. I am current on holiday in a famous African country of which I am visitor. Recently the president has become angried and left with him a letter declaring that one thousand (1000) foreigners to be executed. I was hoping that you would call our embassy and ask for them to assist me in the next four (4) hours before I am shot. For this I will share with you my holiday spending money of eight hundred (800) dollars. I am happy awaiting your responses.
I couldn't have put it better myself. National secrets are still national secrets and need to be protected regardless of personal feelings to an individual. A party isn't a good excuse for reversing the need for such a policy.
In the case that I ever end up in a public space where it becomes obvious that a nerve gas has been released, (and there is no clear way of getting out ie. subway system, sports venue...) I would take off one of my socks and piss on it.
In between the time of realising and building my 'filter' I would probably already have used up my supply. Ooops...
Tomcat is an excellent product and a gem of the open source community. Just because there are 'only' 25 core developers working on it doesn't make it inferior in any of the other offerings out there. I'm not sure throwing more developers at it would necessarily make it better. See, Mythical Man Month for details...
I wish I was one of those kids. Imagine the awe and wonder at discovering Half-Life 2 after years of wandering in the desert of movie tie-ins and EA Sports iterations. Unfortunately my first exposures were with games like Monkey Island 2, Frontier: Elite 2 and Civilization so I'll never know what that feels like...
You're right of course but everything under the crust and outside of the core is molten. Our planet is very geologically active and that's helped by the moon acting on the liquid mantle. Perhaps if the moon wasn't there the mantle would cool and settle down more quickly. But what do I know, I am not a geologist...
It was a different era, though. During that time, there were less people who aspired to be artists.
This is true. However, I think the reason there are more artists is purely because there is more money. Not because the human race is suddenly more artistic. I'm sure if the money disappeared then so would the 'me-toos' that drown out the good works. The true artists would remain because they've always been there regardless of money.
I'd also like to add that those artists were successful in their own times. Maybe not mega rich, and maybe there were fewer people hanging off them getting rich from their talents. However their lives perhaps demonstrate a successful model for artist in the post copyright era. In the case of Shakespeare by having his work played in the public domain perhaps the future for bands? Also Michaelangelo being commissioned (and paid) for his art. I'm sure their are a few rich fans out there who would love to commission their very own Red Hot Chilli Peppers track for instance.
Oh I'm sorry, I'm forgetting about the poor media execs...
I refuse to believe Shakespeare, Michaelangelo, or da Vinci's works would be any less great despite their copyright status. Don't those works predate copyright? Aren't they just proving the point that great works are most useful when they are free in the public domain?

Great Post. Someone give that man his slashdot hero award.

Thank You.
Of course it's been doctored. The crater was orginally a spiral and some sharp german fellow at interpole has fixed it for us.
I've always worked in open plan. The solution to this problem is that most people listen to music while they work to avoid such distractions.
A low ID troll is still a troll. The guy (QuantumG) has posted four obnoxious items in this thread already today. What a moron.
I'd rather wait a few years when it's cheaper
You might be dead by then. However, don't consider this as a good reason to adopt the iPhone.

Bill Gates, is that you?

I find it really hard to read in bright conditions because the white page reflects too much sunlight...
Duke Nukem used the toilet. Look what happened to him.
Constipation. He's stuck on it 'forever'.
I drank the worm.
Funny things can happen with skin cancer. Does that have a right to live because some of the cells are doing something weird?
There's no way he's going to answer you because it's too difficult to explain with his tiny mind and backwards logic.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good yarn.

You're right of course. You should write a blook. And sell it on Amazon.
