We here at the TSA would like to extend an employment offer for you. This would be a supervisory and decision-making position at our headquarters.

Oh, that's BRILLIANT! Click on the first link, and you'll notice that r becomes 2. Open another browser on your computer and paste the new URL in... r becomes 3. By the time we've seen it on Slashdot, this url was hot-potatoed along four times from the first viewer.

Contracts can be verbal; contracts can be written and unsigned (when's the last time you signed an update from your credit card or cell phone company?). Legal theory often relates to offer, acceptance, and exchange of consideration. A syllabus in a course you pay tuition for fits this. I can't speak to case law, but you can probably get to trial on that.

LFS is rather impractical for almost everything, but when it comes to learning.... nothing better.

You know, back in the pre-Gentoo days I discovered Linux From Scratch. I compiled EVERY bit (literally) of executable code from tarballs. KDE took 24 hours on my 400Mhz box.

No kidding? Running debug mode doesn't speed things up?

I'm so patenting this secret to making Java speedy... then I'll own Oracle!

The article is from the AP. It did make the news.

You don't see the front door open in the video. The front shot of the house where you see movement through the door frame is actually showing the right side of the building snapping off the foundation.

You know, despite doing photography sometimes selling stuff to newspapers or through stock sites... I just didn't expect that.

Dear /., please spend more time editing, less time playing with your new stock photography subscription. At least I learned something new with the allergy transfer.

Where do you find these pictures? Did somebody get paid to go buy a container of peanuts and make that? Idle indeed...

I officially give up on the cracker vs. hacker distinction. Hacker is a word with two meanings related respectively to exploration and compromise of computer systems. Crackers are things that go in your soup.

The local fire department would like to subscribe to your blog and such.

While I haven't been able to Google it, I recall one instance where a homeowner shot two police officers who were in his garage. The court ruled in favor of the homeowner.

That's why we keep Bruce Willis on retainer.

You're so going to get a patent on that!
