Typical in this goddamned backward country. We should be thanking our lucky stars we have cell phone companies like Bell and Rogers to protect us from those evil American companies and their low prices.
I will explain what this sentence means to you now. Basically, it means the sentence you quoted is perfectly understandable. However, since you're a pedantic asshole, if everything isn't written to your supposed perfect standards you go into a blind rage and mash at your keyboard, hooting and hollering and generally doing what pedantic assholes do.
Seeing as how Canada's already taken Facebook to task for their disregard for our privacy laws it'll be interesting how this plays out up here. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that a click box doesn't constitute a legal model release form in this country.
"a quick mention that this number is on the Federal Do Not Call list sends them into a near panic state, scrambling to hang up"
Really? I've telemarketed before in my dark past. When people told me they were on the do not call list I would say 'I don't care' and would go into the pitch. Then they'd hang up on me. It was just fun when people thought they could thwart me by being smarmy or clever. I hated my job and all those who I had to deal with on the phone. So anybody who tried stuff like the 'do not call list' automatically wound up back in the caller registry. Your best bet is to just hang up the phone.
"The report also explains that US Army researchers developed a protein that attacks the bacteria that causes plaque, which can lead to gum disease. This protein can easily be incorporated into the gum, making it a serious alternative to toothbrush and toothpaste, the researchers claim. "
"It is unlikely that any 911 service can be provided, however a best effort will be made to connect any emergency calls to a suitable local destination."
Well let's hope your best effort doesn't result in someone's death. That generally doesn't bode well for tech demos.
Wow Kdawson did you choose that red colour all by yourself? This surely is big important news. Seeing as time travel is possibly the most pressing scientific issue of the day. Plus the inclusion of non specific aspects of quantum mechanics really lends a sense credibility to the theory.
I used quantum mechanics to type this message out.
Good job not actually telling the name of the offending plugin in the article blurb there.
'A new severe bug in mozilla is allowing hooligans to steal your passwords. But we won't tell you which one until after the break!'
The wagon wheel people were at least smart enough to adapt to the changing industry. They tried to leapfrog automobiles all together and developed rocket engines. Sadly it marked a messy end to the leisurely carriage ride. However, it did kick start the space race.
I take it the previous billing Bell Canada did based on downloading was actually illegal. And, now it's not? What am I missing here?
I remember quite clearly getting hit with extra 'usage' charges on my internet bill every month. That was well over a year and a half ago.
No. Strangely it's only hot dogs. If you look back through history nobody has ever choked to death on anything until hot dogs were invented. Some say it was a plot by the government to eliminate the game of baseball.
It just occurred to me that my five string banjo was made in China! Cripes almighty. They've probably already stolen my patented method of playing 'Baltimore Fire' with a slide at the beginning.
It's just like reading newspaper comics to other people. None of the effect and none of the humor.
"Y'see in this next panel Garfield is asleep, it's funny because Garfield is lazy and it's typical of his behavior. Now in the next panel he opens one eye and he says 'Mondays'. Which as you recall from last week when I read this comic to you, Garfield expressed his disdain for that particular day of the week. Interesting side note, the name 'Monday' actually comes from 'Moon Day'. Perhaps Garfield used to have some involvement in the space program. SO anyway..."
People are just thinking about this now? I've been without tv for months. It's beautiful. Now it'll take a bit to get adjusted I grant you. The complete Simpsons is a big file. But once you get that on your system it's smooth sailing from there.
Plus there are other forms of entertainment that're better than tv. Like books. I know you've seen them around. But seriously they're like big DVD box sets. You just sit there and read them, and it's entertaining. You're like 'I wonder what Elric of Melnibone's gonna get up to today? Life's not easy for Elric of Melnibone that's for sure'.
Then when people talk about tv, you say 'Hey have you heard of Elric of Melnibone?' and the people you talk to will think you're cool because they'll think you're talking about some new TV show that you can only get on fancy extended cable. But you'll never tell;)
Pssh. 7 meters? Come on outer space, for all your terrifying voidsomeness you sure aren't flinging much in the way of horror our way. What's this I heard apparently Apophis now isn't even a threat. And the Tunguska incident? Hate to break it to your outer space, but nobody was living int he area you hit. Yeah and you'll probably point out the dinosaurs. Sure sure. Let's see you land a decent hit a little more often then every few million years. What's wrong outer space? Having trouble hitting a mote of dust floating in a sunbeam?
So you're telling me this multi-billion dollar piece of machinery just has parts of it exposed to the open air that birds can get into, or at least drop stuff into, and that's all it takes to make it shut down?
Did they run out of plywood while cobbling this thing together? Or did the bucket of rocks holding the tarp in place over the component get knocked over by some pesky raccoon?
That's nothing! NOTHING! Have you even seen what's in pig, chicken, cow, and sheep manure? And they actually use that stuff to grow food. I mean it's the feces of animals, and they're dumping it on our food to make it grow. But somehow the food is okay and safe to eat. Maybe there's something about plants that allows them to thrive on things that are poisonous to us, but allows them to produce fruits and vegetables that are also edible to us.

You forget the Czar of all Legoland gets his own castle, and a legion of lego servants.. and lego harem.

Read the article idiot.
"The report also explains that US Army researchers developed a protein that attacks the bacteria that causes plaque, which can lead to gum disease. This protein can easily be incorporated into the gum, making it a serious alternative to toothbrush and toothpaste, the researchers claim. "
Trouble is cemeteries are green space in cities that developers can't get their hands on.
Gotta take what you can get these days.
Let us cross over the river and rest under the shade of the trees.... also my facebook password is tellaphilltogoforward.
Maybe that explains why I keep getting ads for green paint and nipple rings.
From the blog post...

Christ you're stupid.
Sort of off topic. But, do politicians ever refer to people as citizens anymore? Seems we're only ever called consumers or voters anymore.
Good job not actually telling the name of the offending plugin in the article blurb there. 'A new severe bug in mozilla is allowing hooligans to steal your passwords. But we won't tell you which one until after the break!'
You know full well they just posted a story about Frank Zappa!
Give it a rest! Slashdot's clearly focusing on proper science and technology stories.
Lord almighty.

"even if they stopped it today i wont trust seafood anymore ever"
I don't trust it already. The whole industry is regulated by old one eyed fishermen in Salwesters who just spit on the floor all the time.
