Goodbye WebMD and any other Internet Bran ds website. It's clear they don't care about their workers nor do they care about customers.

Dictionary of numbers says that the Teacher's Union can make up the shortfall out of politician's bribes alone.

There's just something *wrong* about moveable escape hatches.

About two weeks, if I remember correctly. I've had a few long-running debates end just as they were getting interesting. I believe the engine for the main page and the journal entries is the same code, with just a tag in a separate table in the back end database. Anyway, that's the way it worked the last time I looked at the "open source slashdot" code back in, I think, 2001? Might have changed since then.

We already had CTRL and Alt and two shift keys and on some keyboards a Fn key...did we really need the windows and context keys?

In fact, with how often the context key gets used, why not remap the context key?

I don't find it unexpected....it is after all a series of poetical allegories describing what people knew at the time, and much of our current understanding of cosmology is extremely influenced by the faith of the past, starting with the entire idea that the world is intelligible to begin with. After all, if the atheists were right and it was all random, there'd be no patterns to discover, and likely not even enough organization in the universe for life to exist.

Bullshit, there's been plenty of left and right wing and atheist fairy tales posted to slashdot over the past 28 years.

About 10 years ago, a change was made to slashcode that puts all journal entries in the firehose, I've even had a couple voted to the front page.

This isn't one that made it AFAIK, but I haven't been online enough to actually notice.

Well, Fr. Lemaitre was obviously inspired by his Jesuit faith, so kind of. Hawking is just a science promoter, not a science originator.

Yes, because real people are Freudian.

Dr. Eliza predated Clippy by about 20 years.

Pretty sure LLM is already a fork off of Eliza, which has been around longer than I've been alive.

Dr. Sbaitso, please call the office.

Come on, really? People are charging companies money for a chatbot?

"Only by" are the keywords here. A Serial hybrid vehicle that can accept a large range of fuels and charging technologies would be the obvious answer. Something like a snow cat, with deployable wind generator, solar panels, and a reserve diesel/alcohol multifuel generator may make sense in the northern territories.

Just shows he might have more of a science background than he lets on.

The job of Pope is about protecting the Deposit of Faith, and about explaining Truth with Reason. Pope Francis is particularly bad at it, but he's by far not the first to be particularly bad at it. In 2000 years, there have been plenty that are worse.
