Because they can have their Greblitzer assembled in China at 1/8th the price of anywhere else in the Galaxy
The idea of slave labor is primitive... I'm sure they would be advanced enough to have factories/AI developed enough for the task of physical production laid out in a straightforward pattern (make board 2mmx2mm, doesn't sound complex that bio-life needs to do it).
After counting out that an alien life wouldn't need labor, on to a point previously posted about resources. I'm pretty sure there's an abundance of resources elsewhere. To us we feel helium/diamonds are "rare" etc., but we know of (uninhabitated) planets that have an abundance of this.
Lets put this paradox on the other end. If WE find alien life on (ie:) Mars, almost as intelligent as us. We (as a group) would more than likely want to make friends with it. Sure, our history has proven we tend to destroy what we don't understand, but I think that has taught us by now, we have more to lose when we make others extinct. But, there will always be the rare few who would attempt the opposite, so this question could go both ways in regards to final results.
The expressions on the faces of our kids as they played were priceless; both the ups and the downs. I wanted to capture this on video and share it.
Notice the emphasis... Am I the only one who's disgusted by the parents who think their kids are cute and insist on showing you photos of them, but in reality have some really ugly looking kids? I didn't even want to bother RTFA for fear I may see a video of another parent touting the looks of their child as "cute".
Simple, attach the click to a blowhorn... then I will be taking pics for the hell of it... movie theater, restaurant, sports game (oh wait I don't go outdoors...)
Considering the fact it can be illegal to carry a lobster smaller than a certain size is illegal. Anything is considered illegal. So why did you post this as anonymous coward? What are YOU afraid of?
What will happen first under President Obama?

FUUUCK, your friend is gonna be sooo rich. We already found ice on Mars!
Exactly, they dropped it because of nade spam. Not too long ago I played COD4 (where you had to train your guns...) which had tons of nade spam, people would spam all the spawns. It was so pointless and luck based about your death. Maybe it was just a bunch of small maps, but still someone from both teams died regardless. Hell I went to servers where people complained about nades and threatened to ban people for it, that's how out of control"nades for all" became in games.
Sure there's SLOW moving rockets in TF2, and pipebombs/stickies. Which admittedly was way overpowered but now you can destroy stickies, and only 1 class/person can keep shooting them (not all 12 players throwing nades everywhere).
More like an edible (transportable) lie detector? Isn't that what current lie detectors do, check heart rate changes? Even though they can be false, doesn't mean they will always be false.
Yep... I suppose that's the problem with most current technology (software). No forwards compatibility.
I'm just happy to hear that most hardware is both backwards and forwards compatible (PCI-E 1.1>2, USB 1>3, VGA>DVI, PS2>USB)
I believe this is something that needs to be looked at more and more for developers. Some things like mp3 TAGs are forwards compatible. It's just xml though really, drop the lines it doesn't know, but the data should have that format, some line information, drop (buffer/cache) whatever lines you can't handle. I still find it funny how in the year 2007 (after what... 10 years?), they haven't got this right yet. I still see 4+ old formats listed. Maybe they got it right this time, and we wont see a Word 2k10 format.
Although, it does help them to keep selling the new versions. Company X sent us format Y2K8 which we can't open, so we have to buy the new software now to keep supporting them as a client. I was just fine with wordpad though...
It's the first day jitters, and everyone wants to believe there will be changes. Although I can see that most people feel they may be betrayed anyways (like they have been in the past presidencies).
If anything, it's excitement, not praise for Obama (yet?).
Plain and simple: marriage is a religious belief. Last I checked Seperation of church and state should still be held. So tell the government to quit recognizing ALL marriages.
The idea of tieing yourself to another human being legally is a gut wrenching thought (and from hearing those who are/have been married, I am safe on these assumptions anyways). Especially from a male perspective where if he (OR HER) fucks it up, HE will lose 50% of his stuff, and be forced to pay child support for the next few decades, and HE will lose custody of ALL their children.
Call me old fashioned, but I'm for equal rights... which strangely seems to piss a few women off.
All this says is "When you show up to work once while intoxicated, it alone and in itself is not enough to let the employer fire you for just that reason".
Or just take a sick day, and quit drinking so much me matey!
You tried the link in TFA but you didn't read TFS? She googled for it (meaning by logical interpretation) getting a scam site and not the official site.
thought she found the website
I think the next/. article should have a goatse link randomly thrown in there, for those not so close readers.
Listen people! There is a very good reason this is on the/. main page, since this is a tech website, it is meant to spark conversation and be meaningful in a technology kind of way. Don't you see the reference to cold fusion?! That's why the 10 word story is such a short story, the picture alone has left us with many insights into the ability to create infinite energy.
I have thought about that too... but essentially don't you start to lose energy if you leave the bottles in there, because now the fridge has to cool those thawed bottles as well now?
Part of me is hungry, while another part is horny... while yet another part is somehow creeped out and disgusted... only you could make me feel this way.
I actually had a friend who worked in meat packing (where they slaughtered them) and was told about how half the people there became vegetarians (of course YMMV).
He also told me of stories about how the pigs lining up to be slaughtered would sometimes pass out because they could smell their own kind being slaughtered and knew they too were to die soon. Put me off pork for a few weeks.
I've never hunted in my life, but I always wonder how people can hunt (or even fish) and process that meat and eat it.
Regardless, it is a weird feeling knowing that I would rather not see how my food is made. Sure, we need the proteins and amino acids (maybe even tastes) that only animals can provide... but still... Might solve one portion of the "obesity" problems in America though.
Slashdot Mirror
An Australian company has launched a personalized, environmentally friendly coffin business, to help people express themselves to the very end.
And this is where their business model will (should?) fail.
Sorry, I never realized that inside temperature directly related to outside temperature.

The state's rake is typically 50% rather than the 20%-40% of the numbers game.
Can't imagine why it's illegal...

304 kelvin = 87.53 degrees Fahrenheit
304 kelvin = 30.85 degrees Celsius
That's "intense heatwave"?

Someone should be fired!
I thought such attacks were a thing of the past. I am disappointed. But on a serious note,
Notice emphasis. Detect the sarcasm. Calm thyself!
Yea, and leaving my house "could lead to" a girlfriend, but who wants to take that chance?

3 cents?
My only question is, why is only the right half of the sign lit up when its a tech store?

Please mod my comment down.
No way are we modding you down, that's just what you would expect, especially with a name like troll... I say we mod him +5 underrated.
