Desensitized? You mean in the same way that the song Rock-a-bye Baby desensitized children to the violence of life? You mean the same way that the song Ring Around the Rosie desensitized children to the horrors of disease and death? Maybe a bit of desensitization is not necessarily a bad thing _if it prepares children for the horror of REAL LIFE_!
... to ADULT Stem Cell Research (ASCR?) so all these collective panties won't get bunched up every time a new research report or story comes out? That'd be nice. Thanks.
Oh, great. Now some culture in the far future is going to think that teotwawki is going to happen when this clock finally winds down. This is as bad as the Aztec calendar! Can someone fix that problem and include somewhere on there directions for building the next one so our descendants don't have to hear paranoid religious zealots and superstitious nutballs going on and on about Armageddon (or whatever they'll be calling it up then)?
... the learned had to be able to read and write in Latin. Historically, this ended quite recently. Or maybe it didn't since a lot of scientific and medical terms are still based on Latin.
I just wait for the whole season to come out on DVD so I can NetFlix'em. *shrugs* I'm not in a hurry. And I can spend a day watching several episodes or just watch half of one while doing something else. I think I just finished Season 4 of CSI, and I haven't even started watching Battlestar Galactica yet. I'll get to it when I get to it... and if I don't, well darn. I guess I just don't understand the need to see something right away. Unless it's a Star Wars movie, it'll be the same shit whether you watch it at air time or two years later!
I was just thinkin' this! It's about gorram time, too. If we're not careful we'll have to cooperate with'em to build the Core Planets, and then all of our children's children will be cursing in Chinese!
Does anyone else wonder if kdawson is its own "anonymous reader"? The only 'upset people' are the Slashdot readers that constantly have to see this crap clog up the page.
kdawson, go away. Please. Seriously. Go back to digg or fark or where ever you came from. Just go.
Except that the guy you catch was probably paid cash (or a crack rock) by "some other guy" to put those on cars. I know that if _I_ were doing that, I wouldn't be the one with the paper in hand on the street... Just sayin'.

Congratulations! You have earned the Pretentious Bastard Award!

nobody would ever produce music, art, or literature. Which is also why works need to be protected for a century or longer.
This is, of course, why no one ever produced any music, art, or literature before copyright protection was in place. *ahem*

Does buying a PS3 give you a free PS2?
Yes?
Only if you buy a specific model of the PS3. Some of the older ones... yes. The newest models... not so much.

--Especially now that copyrights last for 6 billion years or so.
Um... the sun will explode in 5 billion years.
And no one will be able to make another one like it... because it was copyrighted!!
One would think that preservation of material in a museum would be beyond copyright law, but I doubt it. So long as there is money to be made...
