This just goes to validate the notion that self destructive habits cause merely temporary discomfort. Bring on the booze, I'll clone a new liver when this one fails. Bring on the smokes, I can clone some new lungs. I think I'll eat some McLard tonight, I can clone a new heart when that one fails. Bring on the new age of gluttony! Disposable organs for all!
Calm down. Who ever said that those people gave factual information when they signed up for discount cards? I get a discount on my groceries, and the grocery store chain collects information about a person who doesn't exist.
This does help them push certain products more than others with their special discount club savings, but there's nothing wrong with that. They been doing the same thing with coupons for a long time.
Now for the gas planets that are orbiting the stars in the "green zone" there may be more possibilites for habitable moons than their may be for habitable planets.
Isn't this "green zone" based on just one data point, Earth (actually, just the surface of Earth)? We shouldn't rule out other planets as habitable just because they don't resemble the surface of Earth. After all, we have iron-breathing bacteria one mile deep inside the Earth's crust. No need for oxygen; no need for liquid water.
Actually, overclockers are more like people who modify their cars from factory specs; such as boring out their engines, or putting different size tires on. It's illegal in some countries, but not in the United States.
Echelon was that fantastic space flight simulator for the Commodore 64. It even came with a microphone headset so you could talk to fire your weapons. How could anyone forget that game?
How is getting faster access to some sites, and the same access to the other sites considered "getting the shaft?" It sounds like a great deal for the users.
You know, people always complain "Yeah, but it's just another FPS, it's not innovative", but when was the last time someone said football should start using new ideas?
I want Tommy the Talking Shotgun from "Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Evil Mutant Hellbound Flesh-Eating Zombies Part II."
Stop complaining; your hard-earned dolars aren't going to SETI. Congress terminated funding for SETI 1992. They're conducting science for the sake of science, and it isn't costing you anything.
This same situation exists in the plants that assemble the computers (Gateway, HP, Dell, etc.) A lot of Slashdot readers probably build their own computers from scratch, but most people just buy a pre-built system. The computer you use at work was almost certainly built in a factory. Just think, the person who was handling your hard drive is a disgruntled wage slave making less than $7 an hour in a non-union sweatshop.

Ah, rods... a favorite topic among Art Bell listeners.
I thought Cecil Adams covered this topic well.

Actually, the Linksys router does provide 100MBps Ethernet. There's a four port autosensing switch on that bad boy. http://www.linksys.com/scr ipts/features.asp?part=BEFSR41

You have to be level 9 or above to declare hostility, so newbies under level 9 can not be attacked by other players.

I would rather watch the cosmonauts scream in terror as their space station falls apart around them.
They could market it as a new "survivor" tv show.

They're not for kids, but the Urotsukidoji series is just as much as classic as Akira.
Wiked City (also not for kids) is pretty good too.
