    I'm pretty sure you can still do all the experiments in that kit legally. It's not like you can't buy uranium 238.

    You know how to check for peroxide contamination every few months?

    I think I can dip a piece of paper in the ether every few months. I go through a much more complex process testing my pool.

    Leaving cans of ether sitting open on a benchtop and smoking a cigarette five feet away

    Then I suppose we shouldn't let people work on their cars, either. I've seen the same with gasoline and piles of oily rags. I even have a buddy that reloads his ammo while smoking.

    How does the corporation get the software to it's end users without distributing it?

    You think that's bad? Have you tried finding a non-Jewish moile or kosher butcher?

    My office super glued all the USB ports shut, so that's not really a consideration.

    It can be yours for two payments of $19.95! When did Slashdot turn into an infomercial?

    I only paid $1200 US for my 37" LCD. That's not much more than $400 CAD.

    I don't see PC manufacturers having any trouble selling PCs, though. People are buying new computers still, they're just requesting XP.

    Yes, so would Blue Gene.

    So driving someplace and paying for software is a better than downloading free software?

    The disc cost is irrelevant when you need to buy a $1000+ TV to view it.

    But with Vista, upgrading is no trouble at all. It comes with your PC pre-installed, which is how most people got XP. Despite this, though, they still don't like Vista.

    Blu-Ray is an improvement. Vista is not.

    So going from 480i to 480p had merit but going from 480p to 1080p does not?

    Surely this woman's actions come under the same heading as yelling "Fire" in a theatre.

    The natural response to hearing the building you are in is on fire is to run. The natural response to someone being a dick online is not suicide.
