Okay, where is the most effective place to send hate mail or equivalent to Facebook? As many of you know, FB is almost impossible to contact directly or actually speak with a live person despite them employing thousands of them. Even their telephone number only leads you to a number of different messages and voice mail boxes that appears to mostly be dead-end bit buckets.

And I can give you one reason yes to buy Netgear. My new Wireless N-150 WNR1000 cost me $9.95 through my cable company.
Make that 2 reasons - It has run rock solid for ~3 years now on its standard firmware.
Point: Always look at the overall ROI.

Hey, wouldn't Linux itself constitute prior art to patents that threaten it?

You have to eat more than one to have the problem. A single one passes through without attracting itself to anything else.

And if you commonly let your kid near or play with dangerous items you are a totally ignorant crappy parent who ought take some personal responsibility for all of your failings instead of blaming other people for them.

My Name, so that if my neighbors are having a problem with it they know who to contact in order to resolve it.
Why would you want anything else?

How about the taxpayer's bottom line who are being forced to fund a Liberal agenda for 100mbps Internet, which while it's nice and good for bragging rights, still exceeds the capacity requirements by far of most home users?

I find nothing wrong with scantily clad women and think better of them then of the wussified males made afraid to admit enjoying what a million years of evolution has created them to enjoy.
And I'm left to wonder if the women of today are really all that happy with those results either, given their actionable preferences for Bad Boys.

The answer is that the CFO is incompetent for having not already figured this out for himself.
They both need to go.

More Big Scare tactics. These articles belong in the Science Fiction category so far. We don't know what's going to happen, we've never been there before, but we're assured that it's going to be bad and only by taking and transferring hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to someone else who is more Progressive than ourselves can we save us all.
HA! (because Slashdot won't let me type: bullshit)
Back in 1975 we were supposed to be freezing by now. Anyone remember that?
Take this with with an equal grain of properly salted password hashes.

I'd want everyone to have a reliable lie detector sense. Then we might get honest politicians.

Sounds like Wookie problem resolution practices.

The publisher's problem is that this isn't some nut-job that can just be dismissed out of hand. Dale Askey appears to have the qualifications to know exactly what he's talking about here so they have to try and shut him up. But suing McMaster University over the personal blog of one of their employees personal blog opinions is way beyond reasonable -- although that's probably either were the money is, or that they hope to punish Mr. Askey by getting the university to fire him as him being too much trouble to keep onboard.

Under all circumstances the publisher is wrong here. The proper course of action would have been for them to line up equally (apparently) qualified academicians on their side of the argument and let the book-buying institutions decide for themselves. It would seem that both sides of the argument were already being hashed out on the blog, and now arrives The Streisand Effect in spades!

This is nothing more than outright theft of another person's intellectual property by gay and lesbian activists in the same way they have attempted theft of other terms. (I'll leave making that list of those terms to the reader since this is obvious /. flamebait already.) How long before they also demand to own gaymer.com because they deserve it more? This is nothing more than the slow and indolent attempting to steal from the smart and quick what the former couldn't come up with on their own and needed someone else to point it out to them. I support the person who got there first keeping the trademark that they legally acquired and SHAME ON THE EFF for getting involved in this! No soup for them this quarter.

One wonders if this is Environmentalism run amuck of putting out all fires until instead of number of small natural fires that don't do significant damage, the fuel builds up into inferno range that does great damage?

Or you could just clear the brush around your observatory regularly -- again if the Environmentalists let you. Australia is rather weird in this regard.
 

Good-old Gregorian January 1st
Especially when celebrated in Luna Park under the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
It doesn't get any better than that -- and it's warm there too on Jan 1.
