Genial Generalist writes "Superflu is being brewed in the lab, an article by Michael Le Page, describes some of the ongoing efforts to genetically modify the different strains of flu, specifically CDC modification of bird flu for the purpose of developing new vaccines."
yay
I just heard some sad news on talk radio--Master Distiller Booker T. Noe was found dead in his Bardstown, KY home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to the Art of Distilling Bourbon. Truly an American icon.
It's the Illuminati's plan to decrease the population of the world to make it more controllable, just like adding to the drinking water to make people more controllable.
You don't know me.
I am irreparably flawed. Physically, I am hypoglaucemic, with a metabolism far faster than it should be, requiring constant sustenance. I also have a bilateral cleft palate. Mentally, I am a monopolar depressive, which means I get all the benefits of massive depression without the happiness of occasional mania.
I am also a very critical person. My ability to see patterns and potential makes me very bitter, because I see what could be as a backdrop for what is. I give everything of myself, and demand the same; when I do something, you can rest assured you're getting the best I could do at the time, with commitment. I expect the same from others. I have rarely been satisfied; a few musicians, a published author or four (Hofstadter, Potok, Gibson, Lee), and even a software product has gotten it bloody well right every now and then, but most of the time... all I see is what could be, and it hurts.
I am a Jew. I am a Jew who studies the momentum his Jewishness gives his personality and mores, and is unapologetic about it. I will never forget what I am, or what brought me here, the fires of Europe and the blades of Russia, the whips of Egypt and the chains of Babylon.
I am broken. Is that not enough? Being broken, I strive for completion, and I don't even know what completion will manifest itself as. Quoting Rush's "The Fountain of Lamneth," I'm forever at the start... and still, I am.
You don't know me.
Ok, now nerds are finally acting on that desperation for chicks.
God spoke to me
mmmmm, raptors.
My AVRiL will make you my biatch. =P
But seriously now, I haven't had as much fun playing a game online since the original Tribes came out. I can't wait for UT2004 to be released. I can't wait to try out all the new levels (especially the onslaught levels) and it looks like EPIC finally got it right and incorporated level and mod downloading right into the game. It's nice to see them put assault levels back in too. I'll be curious to see if they have any assault levels with vehicles involved.

Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like HOWARD DEAN
gone out and read Oryx and Crake after reading the Slashdot review
I'm much funnier now that I'm a subscriber.
Why don't you STFU and go hunt down some toilet paper? I can't believe a nation of millions upon millions still wipes their asses with their hands!
We are having a "polish potluck" on Sunday.
I am making stuffed cabbage.
Well, that's where we have confliction. You're indeed correct on the name. But, considering that I'm 6'3", I'm also a big I.
I wouldn't want people to get confused with little i, because that sounds like little guy, and my policy has always been "fuck the little guy, I'm the big guy." So, I had to go with big I.
If you want, you can pretend that there is a big I instead of a little i.
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
