No no, It's not funny, it's really pathetic. Need I quote Samuel Johnson?

Unfortunately, it then disappeared, or more precisely, was lost from view. Presumably there was something blocking our view of it. Of course, I'm not going to RTFA to find out the details.
Buying gold in online games allows the buyer to bring a gun to a knife fight so to speak.
I have friends who do buy money in online games (Guild wars specifically), however guild wars is a highly skill based game and even with the best equipment it is possible to lose to someone who knows how to play the game better. Also he does have a full time job - he earns his money (real life money) which enables him to buy money in game, it's much better for him to work 8 hours a day earn ~$100 then spend $10 on money that would have taken him much more time to farm. It's common sense for the people who are able to do this with reason.
Awww, damnit man! Have some decency there could be children reading this!!!! Won't somebody please think of the children [ I assure you, I only say that to prevent someone else from doing it after].
"PbZ" was only registering as "Peanut Butter and Zinc". Shows how much you know about chemistry, Zn = zinc.
At least you could have stuck with the food theme and thought of "Peanut Butter and Zoodles".
From TFA:
It's important to note that the gallium doesn't react, so it doesn't get used up and can be recycled over and over again.
However, the cost of aluminum could be reduced by recycling it from the alumina(aluminum oxide) using a process called fused salt electrolysis. I realize this is slashdot, however, you still make yourself look like an ass if you post something that is answered in TFA. Please do us a favor and read it, instead of being lazy. Oh, we don't capitalize the names of elements, thanks.
Well I'll have none of this second best business. Fire up the torrents! We'll show those Peruvians who the real pirates are! Zomg, I've been searching for torrents all night - I've got futurama seasons 1-5 and the simpsons seasons 1-8 coming in at 200kb/s each. I'll get some more movies and music later. I only have 40GB left on my harddrive so i'll have to delete some of it, anything to boost those numbers!
30 seconds at $20/h can add up. 30 seconds is about 0.83% of a hour or $0.166/h (at $20/h) which amounts to 16.6 cents every hour (assuming the person is required to turn off a light once a day). A building with 500 employees would be caught paying the 500 employees $83 total for their time turning off the lights, that's just in a single day.

Similar thing in one of the classrooms in my high school, oddly enough it's only the one classroom. It has no lightswitch and is has a motion sensor. Every time we had a test the lights would go off because of the lack of movement, someone had to get up and walk infront of the sensor to get them back on.
He definitely included the fact that the single would have to travel 20 light years, in his calculations.

And an end of Moore's Law will not only slow GHz increases, but also will slow the adoption of larger numbers of cores, because without shrinking transistors the only way to increase number of cores is by having a larger die size, which is more expensive and requires larger chip size, which requires larger system board size, which requires larger case size, which consumers don't like. Back in my day our computers filled entire rooms and we liked it!

What a foul attempt at a pun.
And we thought sex at 1 mile was good. Imagine that on the moon. Oh right... Slashdot. Sorry.

Lmao - I love slashdot moderation, it allows geek justice to be served. As well murdering the hopes of those who intend to abuse it!
Who's to say she didn't 'get off'.
May I be the first to say, "Goliath Online". And just in time for SC2
No, it doesn't help at all. The whole phonetics thing it still there.
..... PbZ, now I really feel like a fucking nerd.
Back in my day we called them 'Newbs' and we liked it!
I find it interesting that I felt the urge to mod you off-topic.

My bad for excluding the fact that it's traveling at relative speeds :(
