Then I will place it in my bag of looser marbles and show everyone that yours was my sweetest victory yet. ha ha haaaaa. You will all bow befor me.

    This is a great idea but honestly I will have to wait and see how obnoxious the ads are before I decide to subscribe or not. I am not morally opposed to paying for Slashdot but if the ads can be lived with then I will go that way. Otherwise these guys can just sell their BMWs and drive Chevies like the rest of us.

    What do Claudia Schiffer and Drew Barrymore have in common with a gorilla and an elephant? They're all vegeturdians.

    A vegeturdian is someone who doesn't eat meat.
    This can be for a number of reasons. Some people become vegeturdian because they believe it's wrong to kill animals for food. Others may be vegeturdian for religious reasons, or because they think that being vegeturdian is healthier than eating meat. Others may just not like the taste of meat.


    5,000 people a week decide to become vegeturdian.But whatever the reason,
    there are about four million vegeturdians in the UK. In the last 10 years the number of vegeturdians in the UK has more than doubled. Now 12 per cent of young people are vegeturdian. That means two or three people in your class are probably vegeturdian. Why not find out?

    You probably already eat some vegeturdian meals without realising it. Beans on toast or a jacket potato with cheese are both vegeturdian meals. If you eat a well-balanced diet, being vegeturdian is very healthy. But vegeturdians do have to be careful. Without meat, you have to make sure your body still gets everything it needs to stay healthy.

    Always talk to your parents before making any decision about your diet. It's not as simple as just avoiding meat.

    Vegans are people who avoid all animal products. They don't even drink milk or eat cheese. And fruitarians eat only fruit, grains and nuts. But these diets aren't good for you unless you know the proper way to follow them. Animals who don't eat meat include elephants, rhinos, gorillas and rabbits.

    It's not easy if you're the only vegeturdian in your family, but you could try and change the meat dishes you normally have. Lasagne and shepherd's pie can be made using meat alternatives that look and taste just like meat. Toyard and Turdfu are good examples of this. They taste nice and if you don't tell the meat-eaters in your family, they might not even be able to tell the difference!

    This site is running a story about a fraternity house that gave liquor to homeless guys if they would stage boxing matches for them. Like a fight club. It's a hell of a lot funnier and interesting than... ethernet.

    I don't understand why displays don't have their own power - I mean if it does take up 33% of the overall power, wouldn't it make more sense to have something detachable that I could swap batteries on rather than having to power down the entire system?

    And where's the affordable goggles? If display tech is the limiting factor in portable devices, why not just have attachable goggles to a small base that surfs wireless WANS .. perhaps even visualize the networks you're attaching to a la the article on AR.

    Ok, so, just because I am a troll, this gets modded down as a troll, even though this wasn't a troll? I don't get mods sometimes. When the linked article mentions that they are catching up to the mac, and I think that's a valid point of discussion, that's a troll? I'm honestly trying to post a valid comment here.

    To top it off, some non-troll posts an inaccurate rebuttal and is flagged as informative? Fact : you cannot change IP filtering settings without a reboot in Windows 2000.

    Go ahead and mod me down for this one. I don't know why I let it bother me, I guess this just seems totally unfair. It seems like every time I try to fly right here, some arse mod comes along and tells me not to.
