I can assure you, on a real road, people tend to stay a bit more alert after consuming a few drinks.
Well, I'm certainly glad that we've got the accurate scientific evidence of the assurances of an Anonymous Coward to set us straight!
GMO agriculture by a fascist system (Monsanto and govt) HFCS in one form or another is in almost everything, now this (lab grown meat), i seen enough of this planet and i want off
The upside is that you're still going to be able to have burgers without having to figure out how to herd cattle in space.
Reason I bring this up is, my Arizona driver's license was issued over 10 years ago when I moved back home, and isn't due for renewal for another 8 years. Typically, you get your 'permenant' license at 21 here and it expires when you hit 65. Address changes are printed on a little sticker they put on the back. They reissue them for women who get married and take their husband's name at a prorated cost. 40+ years of wear on a piece of plastic kept in a wallet? Serious fade even after 10 years.
They actually want you to replace your license every 10-15 years, or something like that -- they sent me a letter recently saying that I needed to get my license updated with a more recent picture. Not sure why they don't just call that an "expiration date" -- maybe because you don't have to do anything to prove that you can still drive when getting your picture updated.
How would the Onion look then?
Prescient?
I think there are some very good reasons for pirating, opposing current copyright law, etc. I do not think the fact that the artist who produced something you enjoyed is one of those reasons.
In that case, I suppose it's a good thing that there are a number of Slashdotters who will assure me that none of the money that I would spend on media ever goes to the creators, right?
Good grief... I certainly hope that Coverity's analyzer strips out comments before it starts evaluating code. Even the dimmest pointy-haired manager would see right through that scam.
I'm pretty sure that you're underestimating how dim managers can be.
sure..until they compress it for you or change formats or
This isn't steganography. As long as you create your video such that the artifacts of compression won't make your codes unreadable, it doesn't matter if Youtube does something like that.
It is also fair to introduce some bias...
Are you reading what you're typing?
You're comparing apples and oranges there -- that 27% is the number of subscriptions of home broadband connections, not the number of people who live where broadband is available. The number of households where broadband is available is significantly higher (a little googling says 60-80%, depending on the source -- it's going to depend a lot on what qualifies as "broadband.")
I've been crabbing in the Chesapeake and New Jersey for the past ~5 years once or twice a year using both pots and hand lines and haven't noticed any steady size increase to match the increase in carbon emissions. Not a lot of variance anyway when I hear the "daily biggest crab" winners at the outfit we go through (7.5" to 8.5"). You would think we would start hearing about 9" or 10" crabs if their size is increasing with carbon emissions. Anecdotal, I know but what I've seen first hand doesn't really line up with this.
1-2 data points a year for five years isn't exactly a lot of data when you're talking about CO2 levels.
Free Software Foundation's founder Richard Stallman's description of de Icaza as a 'traitor to the free software community,'
Well, if I wasn't before, I'm firmly on de Icaza's side now.
Gamers have just as much right to whine about a company's pricing policy as the industry insiders have a right to whine about their customers' dislike of their policy. So the industry's getting sick of the complaining? Presumably, they're worried that if there's too much publicity of the issue, customers actually will start voting with their dollars.
He's right, it's a business. A business that ignores its customers doesn't usually last too long.
Well, family should respect the wishes of their deceased.
This is by no means a universally held belief. I tend to think that the wishes of someone who is dead are irrelevant -- because once they're dead, they're not in any position to care about it anyway.
Sure, I'd probably hang on to grandpa's Nobel Prize too -- but I don't think that their family has some moral obligation to do so. Maybe they feel that the knowledge that their ancestor won the prize is of more importance than the physical artifact.
The Android-derived tablet he got is horrible! The battery is the least of its problems.
I think it's pretty obvious that timothy got trolled. The "top-notch security and monitoring" line should have been a giveaway.
What I will often do when I have some downtime is proofread some pages at http://www.pgdp.net/. It's essentially a project to take OCR'd out-of-copyright books and proofread and format them for Project Gutenberg. You only have to do one page at a time, so (depending on the type of book you choose to work on), it can take anywhere from just a minute or two on up, and the result is something useful.
And while I've been doing it, every once in a while something will catch my interest that I would normally have never read.
It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous. -- Robert Benchley
