This is just half a rack... I'm more of a full rack guy.

I pasted the wrong link. Change to allow some ads by default was in 2011: http://slashdot.org/story/11/1...

False with regards to Adblock Plus. http://tech.slashdot.org/story...

I'll always leave adblock enable on those sites that make (empty) threats. Everything on the 'Net has an alternative source, and users smart enough to use adblock are smart enough to find alternative sources.

If they ask nicely to show ads, like DuckDuckGo does, then I may allow them through.

VLC and Mplayer can both play Blu-rays in both ISO and file folder format on Linux as long as they are decrypted.

If you want everything on the disc, make the Blu-ray into an ISO just as you would with DVD.

It's a bigger file, sure, but disk space has been getting cheaper.

$30/month is enough to get me not only a uncapped 100/100mb line, but a dedicated server/seedbox running at high utilization 24/7 too.

"The last mile is expensive", yadda yadda, sure, but there has to be more than a bit of price gouging here.

No, the article itself mentions the impact difference between the two sides should be less than 1%.

Drawing comparisons to WWII is ironic, because the F-35 program is exactly the kind of program that the US did not invest in during the war. A program that consumed lots of resources on the promise of radical advances without delivering anything actually useful onto the battlefield now.

Germany in contrast, spent lots of time on such projects even into the final desperate days.

Yes, let's kept paying the crony capitalists lest we be left defenseless. So many people have been nonchalant about the economic damage this system has caused to our country, so I can only hope the security damage is more successful in grabbing their attention.

Even if this project met its goals, it would still be extremely underwhelming... especially on cost-benefit analysis. Starting over is the right choice.

Any Borderlands 2 players?

I suddenly realize that Dubai may have been the inspiration for the not-yet-built city of Opportunity.

There is also a difference between rhetoric and propaganda.

Conflation of copyright infringement with theft is a case of the latter.

Listen to the words of the serpent I shall not!

For in my visions I have seen The Answer... and it is spelt thus:

Gravity bends space, although always in the same basic way. (I think)

So lets imagine there may be some other way of bending space...
