Don't worry, it'll pass. I'd probably catch a cold too, if I spent all that time under Antarctic ice.

The comments on that article are pretty interesting, most of them supporting the professor are along the lines of "These students absolutely are unprofessional! Who expects to keep their job after calling their boss a fucking moron?!"

They seem to miss the point that as a management class, these students expect to BE the boss, and they expect that there will be no repercussions when they tell their employee that they're a fucking moron.

Furthermore, now that these people will pass and become managers, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these people texts an employee telling them he is firing her because she wouldn't sleep with him, then when he loses his lawsuit and his money he'll go around telling everyone how an ugly bitch ruined his life.

I can shoot around corners now?! Sweet. Hello Cool World, here I come.

You can also be shot around corners. Welcome to "you don't stand a chance, Bub" world.

As much as a lot of /.ers like to whinge and complain about IP rights, Skyrim IS Bethesda's IP. So marketing a mod for sale on the Steam store does put Bethesda in the right to take a cut.

Maybe not *45* percent. HOly shit who's idea was that?

There is objectively less innovation, literature, and even art from the Islamic world in the current day. You can measure scholarship per capita and it is not even close. They are squandering their human capitol on petty bickering and tribalism.

I just bought the USB-Serial adapter. Native serial ports on laptops are gone and they're not coming back. I know most of those adapters are total crap (so many fail when transferring block data at even just 57600), but chipset manufacturers don't even include serial port lines on the southbridge anymore.

3 ports means I can plug in a Keyboard, Mouse, and have one port for a USB Thumb Drive, Serial Adapter, Ethernet Adapter, DRM Dongle for whatever I'm actually doing with the laptop. If USB keyboards reliably came with USB hubs built in I could reduce that count, but you can never be sure what the site will have when you get there. Most USB keyboards aren't well equipped. In a pinch you can obviously use the keyboard on the laptop itself, but it's not as comfortable and most places have random USB keyboards sitting around.

It's not rocket science ... oh, wait ...

This was Windows 7.

As a bonus, the guy who loaned the printer to me told me (afterwards) that there's a driver that works perfectly fine already in Windows if I navigate through the manufacturer listing and select it by hand.

If 'xylitol' is hard for English speakers, it should be doubly so in Finland. We did extensive clinical research on its use against dental caries in the 1970s, and now everyone and, well, not their dog, has been using it in forms like chewing gum for a couple of decades.

However, we are notoriously bad at pronouncing foreign words. For instance, initial 'str' in words like 'strategy' ('strategia' in Finnish) is often reduced to just 'r', at least when spoken by older people with less foreign exposure. This just reflects the lack of such combinations in our native language.

That's about as likely as slashdot posters starting to read the articles that are posted.

I've always been amused at the depth and quantity of nested DIVs on a Google Play store page. This is something that's going to be loaded on crappy cell phones and the code for the page is just monstrously large.

...from Diet Coke?

the AI which hacked hawking's system and is using him as a puppet has developed a sense of humor.

we're doomed, and it will be hilarious.

AWKWARD!

EXT4 encryption seems like a pretty good bullet point, especially with the TrueCrypt situation. I hope it's not fatally flawed in some way. Caveat: I have not looked at it yet.
