New Hampshire is first in the nation primary, Its not a caucus.

Fantastic Idea, important fields become mandatory , could have an auto full screen snapshot so devs can see error and anything that was running when it happened, and you can combine it with something along the lines of a Spiceworks (or similar) to grab relevent OS and driver information.

Right now any company can make an account and answer questions, how will the new change be different besides the financial support to slashdot. Will they be allowed moderation points? Say in which comments float to the top? Actually get to pose the questions (how awesome is adobe reader on a scale from 9-10) I would love to have specifics on this agreement as Slashdot has become a wonderful place for me to come and see unbiased information from the technical community and I would hate to see bias creep into the discussion because of this.

I think the unrealistic expectation is expecting any project to go well when you are paying 14 dollars and hour for a highly skilled position. No programmer worth their salt will willingly accept that pay, and if they do, you probably don't want them.

Maybe the passengers need swimmies? or life jackets so they can be tossed overboard! either way, +1 to explanation being clear, concise, informative, and funny.

I know this is /. but perhaps a less gadgety would be better. Offer minor savings as incentive for people to read their own meter, and have the meter read by the company every 6 months or a year. A fee + the difference in meter reads could be charged if you falsify as they would know your usage anyway from the company reading. It could even go so far as to have a unique identifier on the meter and require you to e-mail a picture of your meter on x day of every month.

Where do I find a wife with a NIC, or was that an upgrade?

Great, now they have to worry about suicidal robots.

SSD's outperform disc in applications where they perform better. Story at 11.

While a good idea, I dont think the word guessing is for me. I always ignore it because it takes longer for me to click/point at the word it guesses than it does for me to finish typing the word.

I wish you luck on the next stage in your life. Your creation has wasted more of my time than anything else, and I am infinitely grateful.

No Cabletron (AKA Enterasys) option? Budget friendlyish, great hardware, good support.

In situations like hotels and hospitals, coverage is not that big of an issue. Client density becomes more of a concern with a 2 person room possibly having 6 devices (tablet, phone, laptop) 4 rooms can have 24 devices connected which leaves handy homeowner routers in the dust. An Aruba, Enterasys, or Meru have worked well for me in the past (with these companies doing a cloud based controller these days so you don't have to purchase the $10,000 device up front)

" The implication that you could own the right to all individual words within a trademark is also a bit scary." I believe Apple owns every individual word in the trademark of their name.
