I have asked the people who run Slashdot these days to handle videos differently, and I am refusing to have my name anywhere near the more blatantly promotional ones.

I'm not quite as low of an ID, but I'm right there with you. I'm out.
Goodbye, everyone. Last one out of here, shut off the lights.

Well, on Linux you can use the Amazon Cloud Reader to read Kindle books right in the browser. For whatever reason, the Nook's browser isn't supported by Cloud Reader right now.
Srsly, it's the NY Post
Those are some f-ing huge monitors you're talking about. In comparison, my monitors look like they're in danger of being trod upon by a dwarf.
Well, Steve Jobs spent at least a few years pitching macs while running NextStep on his personal ThinkPad (1998 to around the time of OS X release in 2001). Not quite the same, since NextStep in a way represented the future of the product. But still, there's no better to way to reinforce the perception that the current direction of the company is a dead end than for the CEO to not use the company's products.
The image you link to is fake.
I don't believe a constitutional amendment has ever been amended. But I am seriously considering going to law school to find out.
You don't need to go to law school, only high school. Crack open a history book (they still teach history in schools, right?), and read about Prohibition and its repeal (specifically the 18th and 21st amendments).
So, do you spell your name Sairam or Sariam (it's spelled both ways on your story's page). Doesn't matter, I guess. It'll be gone soon enough.
Um, no it doesn't. I can't speak to the 2010, because that's a total redesign, but on the 2004-2009 tapping the power button at speed does absolutely nothing.
I can't begin to tell what the GP post was trying to say. I will say this, however: Cars don't have emergency brakes these days. They have "parking brakes". Sure, you can try to use it in an emergency, but it's not for nothing that all references in the manuals and other documentation call it a "parking brake".
In the case of the 2004-2009 Prius, the pedal for the parking brake is hooked directly to a cable that goes straight to the rear drum brakes. That means it will work fine in an emergency, but remember, these are only the rears, and they're drums (except the touring edition). It still might work in many emergency situations, but I don't know if that's enough to stop a car that thinks you're flooring it.
