IANA Astronomer, but perhaps it may be prudent to start looking at the more obvious candidates in terms of how conducive they are to human habitation and evaluate them in terms of what it'll take to make that possible. If an alternate habitat for humans is a moderately serious concern, why bother looking at worlds whose characteristics are under heavy risk of changing by the time we get there? Have we even found a better candidate that one of Jupiter's moons or Mars?
If my friend leaves the company telling me he just got sick of the management when in fact he was stealing and then asks me for a reference at Company X where I have a friend, I need to know that he was really fired for theft or I risk losing my friend's good will.
TWO FRIENDS?
You must be new here.
I don't see any risk here. You're going to lose your friends soon. Or you could turn in that shiny new geek card. Consider yourself served.
Today they seized a fileserver containing about 65 terabytes of files, corresponding to around 16,000 full-length movies
65 terabytes of files? Storage space of that magnitude is unfathomable! How many full length movies would that be? 16000 you say? That is still too large for me to process. If I wrote down all the files in 1s and 0s, how many football fields would that occupy?
Every slashdot user can divide 65 TB by the size of a DVD. Unfortunately, full-length movies are NOT a standard measure of storage space. Least of all on slashdot in the context of file-sharing.
Cheers!

Ruckus Closes Down
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
I used Ruckus when it came out as my music provider, but moved to streaming music providers like deezer when they popped up. To be blunt, Ruckus had nothing more to offer than these services except the joys of installing a poorly written piece of software on your computer. I, for one, am not likely to miss it.
While I do have sympathy for the girl, I shall certainly not condone treating people differently based on their income levels or their medical conditions (I'll grant that mental conditions are a weird case). Makes me sound like an ass, but that's what I think.
He could sell all the cards and buy friends with the money.
But at what cost?
No, seriously. I doubt you'd get all that much money selling hypothetical cards that magically preclude you from getting laid. Definitely not nearly enough to buy friends with
And that is so terrible? A sharp pair of scissors is quite good for this and reasonably safe for anyone that doesn't have two left hands.
Il facto, even if you have two left hands, there are scissors for people like you!
Left Handed scissors
For the record, left handed scissors beat paper and lose to stone.
Cheers!

Wait a second. So CCF decided that accepting $17000 raised through a gaming convention would damage the integrity of their name and logo by the implied association between the event and CCF. If the money had been raised by a group of elementary school children selling lemonade (or bibles) in the summer heat, would CCF have turned it down? Essentially, they claim that association of their name with gaming and D&D is apparently damaging to their name and logo and then say they do not have an opinion on gtaming and D&D?
CCF, you may be doing good work, but your ignorant convictions redirected money from "children who face hunger, disease, violence, natural disasters and extreme poverty" to an organization that flies military families around the world to their relatives in the army.
Well, I was going to come up with a conspiracy theory just so I could lower Purdue's mediocre reputation , but then I found this and realized I didn't have to go through all that trouble:
I was stating that high school dolts can find jobs at these places. That does not preclude people with UIDs higher than mine from working there:)
Il facto, when I was buying my first router, I was educated in the greatness of the WRT54G routers by a store employee at CompUSA; Cisco bless his soul!
Are any employers anywhere willing to hire high schoolers in any tech jobs in today's economy?
You need to get out more and smell the recycled air at Best Buy, Circuit City, Apple stores etc. Fairly sure those people are high school graduates at best. If those employees are college graduates, I am not sure that a college degree is worth all that much.
Me: Do you carry crossover cables? Employee: What are those? Me: A cable with cross-wired ethernet jacks at the ends. Employee: What are you trying to use it for? Me: To connect my desktop to my laptop Employee: Well, you could use an external hard drive to transfer files over...
Is probably to ignore damages (or settle out of court in a way that the brothers aren't pissed off). They ought to then have Scrabulous disabled and then work with the brothers and EA to migrate Scrabulous users over to the official Scrabble app.
Well, the disappointment is proportional to the expectations. For example, Wanted did not disappoint me the slightest bit. From the trailers involving curving bullets and shooting through the sunroof from a flipping car, I expected nothing but absurdly comic action and some Jolie hotness both of which I got. Batman promised to be an epic movie (better than the first one) and Ledger's clips in the trailer were very very promising. Hence the disappointment:(

The acronym would be NOBHAMA. I somehow doubt hippies will be responsible for starting it :D

Both of those were nowhere to be found amongst all the empty styrofoam bowls with korean lettering and hot pocket sleeve origami.
