Yes. With so much money being wasted and lives disrupted, maybe all this nonsense will become so publicly humiliating for the **AA groups that some real change might happen. Ooooor not. It's discouraging that things like this happen, but it's much more important to cover the silliness of this than whether or not Paris H. can handle the hard time she's serving or any other media inanity going on right now.
If a discovery occurs on an empty Martian landscape, and no one's there to see it, is it really a discovery? Whew, this science story is really putting the philosophical back in natural philosophy.
Heh, you think that's funny? How come my 'funny' posts always start off life as 'Interesting?' I mean, sure, I actually have the secret formula for deriving energy from/. flame-wars. Why yes, that is indeed interesting!
"Another Distro Bites the Dust." OK, we've got some bad news Monday stuff going on, what with McCain being even more on my bad list now. On the other hand, now we have fewer viable Linux distros to argue about;)
Slightly off-topic, but this reminds me of a story that a boss I had once told me. She was at a Best Buy with her kid, it was hectic, and there was just a ton going on. The cashier, some 17-year-old as I recall, surreptitiously copied down all her credit card info and then later went on a shopping spree. Included in the items he bought was about $1000 worth of baseball cards, and the total spree was 2-3 thousand dollars or so. He wasn't very smart about it, and was caught within a couple of days, and my boss got all her money back.
But I guess you could say she was significantly overcharged too.
Another Slashdot Star Wars story. Full of regrets, memories, happiness, bitterness, fanboy defenses (in dwindling supply), and unmitigated acrimony. The inevitable TNG and Firefly comments are waiting in the wings. The virgin and lack-of-girls comments are prepared. A flame war is set up and somewhat monitored by our guardians. Aaaaaaaaand... ACTION!
I mean, if I'm playing video games all the time and not exercising and then subsequently die of a heart attack, then it's the video games, not my sloth, that killed me, right?
In other other other news, parents are not to be blamed for anything.
Was it The Beast? I've heard that this shite wins taste tests, but have yet to coroborate anything better than bronze. Still though. What's wrong with "American-Style Lager" beer drinkers?
Can I patent the silver bullet that someone will use to shoot them? Someone should find content newer than 2006 on their website and copyright it (their copyright is listed from 2005-2006).

...that they meant Brent Spiner here:

OMG, now it's 'Insightful' after a brief stint at 'Funny!' This is cracking me up. OK, back to work.

There's so much waste heat here (Star Wars, Linux, browser, KDE/Gnome debates), that we could power a city and rock out at the same time.

That was fantastic. You read Neal Stephenson, don't you? Wait a minute, I guess everyone here does. Great sig too.

Wouldn't it be cool to see an id/Wii project?

If you don't know, default is your own.
Offtopic? C'mon, it was funny. A little levity here please before we go back to trying to think of how this won't be misused in a college setting.

Ha! @pwned_by_the_man
Duh, what do cascading style sheets have to do with DVDs? They must have embedded web content. That must be it.
Stop! I'm kidding. Put the flamethrowers away!

Video games cause obesity and heart failure.

Exactly. Just being silly about the lengths to which people will go to make a buck (or pound).
Email Bankruptcy.... Does this mean that if I can't keep up with my spam, I can file for Chapter 11?
coroborate -> corroborate. Not actually even drinking yet.

Wait! Don't stop, I was copying that down!
I stand corrected... so how's your love life?
