I'm a bartender part time- I'm to work tonight and it has been snowing heavily the past two days, and as result I highly doubt I'll make as much money as i usually do on Tuesday night due to the poor road conditions.... who do I speak to about remuneration, mother nature? i wish i were a multinational corporation that dialogs with governments on the intellectual level of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum ....

will you please explain to me why using your phone exactly the way it was marketed to you amounts to a DDOS attack? AT&T has been making money by the boatload by having the monopoly on the iphone, constantly advertise how totally awesome their network is, and is willing to aggressively sue if someone is bold enough to back-sass them about the quality of their network. Yet if you buy an iphone you find that not only does the network kind of suck despite the inordinately expensive plan you've been forced into in order to have unlimited data but also that AT&T, the company that promised you all these great things on their totally awesome network, will eventually begin to tell you that its your fault that your phone doesn't work well and that not only are you ruining it for yourself but your slowing it down for everyone else too....you need to use less data, but do keep paying for that unlimited (unlimited, of course, meaning 5GB/Mo) plan, otherwise we wont have money to hire more Wilson brothers to trick new marks..... Seriously though it seems like this guy is asking people to use Pandora, not to maliciously inject packets- also they are not trying to deny service to legitimate users- these ARE legitimate users locked into contracts on a network that does not preform anywhere near the way they were led to believe it would. They will use their phones legitimately- ostensibly to run apps that they also paid for simply to prove, at least in the way that I understand it, that AT&T network does not work as advertised, and that its not the fault of some über heavy iphone data users, but that it simply is insufficient to cover the existing customer base. AT&T is treating its best customers the worst, and if their network is unable to be scaled to handle the traffic in a profitable manner why not drop the iphone and other such smart devices and let some poor other wireless provider deal with the impossible task...

you must be new here, people on a site with a heavy slant slant towards open source issues' are pretty well aware of the very basics of the top three linux distros

this story reminded me of this http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/08/video-wiimote-controlling-a-15-ton-grapple/ ... its amazing how many uses there are for what is marketed as a toy for children and the elderly....

you must be a blast at parties...

you must be old and rich because if you were still young and poor you would realize badmouthing little caesars, where $5 buys you a large pep pizza, along with white castle is sacrilege...

so wait, you're telling me that Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson grinding all over each other singing about the hardcore raunchy sex they wish they were having during the break of an American institution sponsored by beer companies where grown men hit each other in the most violent manner possible is perfectly acceptable viewing for your kids, but a few seconds of barely visible nipple (which we all have two of on our very own bodies) crosses every line of good taste and acceptability and requires government to act. This logic is a joke to me, your kid is watching my adult event, the super bowl was never meant to be a family event, its not goddamn Disney, its a bunch of corporate ticket holders and rich guys taking a few days off work to get all juiced up and watch other rich guys beat the living hell out of each other for a trophy, some rings, and more money... broadcast around the world thanks to Budwiser. Drink Budwiser... and yes, you're right, if ABC were to start showing clips of pornography during their Saturday morning cartoons that would merit some action, but that example isn't valid here, because this happened during a flipping JANET JACKSON PERFORMANCE! what, exactly, led you to think a sexually charged duet between her and goddamn Justin Timberlake would be suitable viewing for your kids? I mean the clothes that she did have on was a skintight full body leather gimp suit for the most part, correct? Oh, and MTV was producing. You had every clue in the world from the first few seconds of it it might be time to change the channel for a few minutes if you were that concerned about sheltering your children from the outside world, yet despite all of this you still insist on using the FCC as an extension of your stupidity to go on a crusade over a joke two over-privileged out of touch jackasses played on live TV... That being said I've noticed over the past more or less year there have been a lot more news stories about the FCC pursuing something interesting and good and a hell of a lot less about them trying to legislate morality on public airwaves, which makes me happy.

why on slashdot is someone who has owned 7 laptops, of which only one (1) still works modded +5, seriously? who doesn't keep their old lappies alive for weekend project fun? build a new LAMP server, yes please, add a usb hub for a NAS, why not! home media server, sure! unnecessarily challenging hackintosh? why not .... i know this is off topic, but still, one needs to, i dunno, be green... and if David Foster Wallace wrote Infinite Jest on a computer i would pay a hell of alot for it, just my 2 cents....

as an avid user of craigslist i think you are being pretty bitchy, all you have to do is click on your state/neighboring states and look in the categories of things you interested in available in the areas you're willing to drive, really its not all that hard, I do it all the time, takes like maybe a minute longer than a dedicated search and holds much truer to the original intent of craigslist

normally i hate when people say this but as an avid user of craigslist to buy/sell things without fees I couldn't agree with you, and the overall ethos of craigslist, more and wish I had mod points....
