It's good for not making Skype, p2p programs, online games, FTP and IM file transfers break

Making those break sounds like a decent raison d'etre for a corporate network in the first place.

I never did figure out how to get off of the first level. Of course, I was playing with a keyboard and mouse which didn't make the game too enthralling in the first place. Haven't bothered much with FPSs since, to be honest.

Any sign of a Firefox OS phone for a USA carrier yet?

I just Googled IntelliJ IDEA (didn't use quotes), and two of the links that were neatly arranged for me were "Community Edition" (which seems like a Big Flag to me) and the Download page, which as noted above includes both the full-featured and open-source variants side-by-side. It's also worth noting that Google has adapted IDEA into the "official" Android IDE.

Counting its radio incarnation (of which the TV show was a continuation, not a reboot), Guiding Light was around for 70 freaking years! Now CBS has a lame talk show (or a lame Let's Make a Deal copy) in its place. Daytime honchos nowadays can't even come up with new game shows!

Not to mention, they have a reasonable need to know which exploits (whether the NSA knew about them or not, and regardless of who created them) are being made public.

TFA links to a PDF showing the command center itself (posted by the architects). That server, in turn, has hit "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded." First time in ages I've seen something Slashdotted. Also, ISTR the Navy examining the bridge design from ST:TOS for ideas for the bridges of their own ships. So in amongst the pillorying of this particular commander and the US Government in general, we should be saluting Matt Jefferies for coming up with so robust a design for a command center. Comments are my own.

M*A*S*H had a great line on precisely this subject, when Colonel Potter drank a toast to his buddies from WWI (paraphrase):

To Smith, who died in the Big One, the War to End All Wars, and to Jones, who died in the war after that.

We also have a plaque:

Here men from the planet Earth
first set foot upon the Moon
July 1969, A.D.
We came in peace for all mankind

The more broken something is on Slashdot, the greater the probability that it's exercising code that was actually written by CmdrTaco.

I've actually gotten ON the Turnpike there. Yeehaw is there for (ISTM) two reasons: to serve FL-60, which is the cross-state road running east from Tampa (and which extends to Vero Beach as GP mentioned), and to break up what would otherwise be a 90-mile stretch with no exits between Fort Pierce and Kissimmee. Other than that, there's one store there that looks like something the Clampetts grew up with.

He ruled the Star Fleet Technical Manual.

He definitely threw at least twice. I have a friend who remembers Luke missing twice, then landing it on the third try, but I don't clearly remember that one way or the other. (I didn't see it on release day, but I did first see it during the summer of 1977.)

What about detecting domains that have just expired, but haven't been removed yet?

Oh, you mean like the domain squatters do?

Since almost all movies ship as hard drives now rather than film prints, I don't think that opening weekend means as much for picture quality as it once did. Unless, of course, you think the studios are using such cheap hard drives that they start losing sectors after 2 weeks.

Myself, I've got a pretty decent HD/5.1 setup at home, and this is still one I'm planning to go see at the IMAX.
