If I find a murdered body while jogging, I am probably going to be one of the initial suspects. I will be questioned by officers, and possibly even called back to the precinct if they have further questions. This would absolutely inconvenience me, but I would be a real jackass if I put up a stink about it. Someone was just murdered, which would be a much bigger problem than me losing a couple afternoons.
And it is of the outmost importance that you keep the freedom to make that choice.
If it's, for example, cyanide in your coffee, it wouldn't.
On the other hand, if it's a large barrel of cyanide catapulted in your general direction, it's assault. (It you fail your dodge roll, it's also battery)
If it's just for bragging about the capacity for dead weight, they could have chosen other forms for it. Like, a large pig with a funny hat. Or 150Kg worth of penguins.
"the three basic components of life" is misleading, more like "three of the basic components of life"
The chief component is cytosine... cytosine and guanine....Our two chief components are cytosine and guanine...and adenine.... Our three components are cytosine, adenine and cuanine...and thymine.... Our four...no... amongst our components.... amongst our components...are such elements as cytosine, guanine.... I'll come in again.
And we shouldn't make plans for tomorrow, because how can we even know there will be a tomorrow? After all, today and all days prior are not at all "tomorrow-like".
The fact that one side moves forward doesn't, by itself, give that side an advantage
It certainly does when one side holds the power of coercive authority. You can't actually win against coercive authority. You can try to circumvent it, but you can never defeat it, because the advantage of coercion is absolute.
Which, as we all know, is the reason to be living in an Absolute Monarchy.
Name + extension is not enough. Files should have a name, a type, and a subtype.
The types shouldn't be optional, but restricted to a list common to all OSs. The subtype could be the "write whatever you want, and put as many exes as possible because exes are like painting things red so they go faster" crap that extensions are right now.
Right now, we can't even repair spinal cord injuries where head and body belong to the same person. Once that becomes a routine medical procedure, we might think about head transplants and how to solve the problems associated with them.

However, there are way less people with spinal cord injuries and a lot of money than people with a working head, a failing body and a lot of money.
Actually, the less modest question was "how long does it take to recover excellent karma by the simple system of receiving karma points on my often witty, insightful and thought provoking posts."
If I keep digging deeper, probably by the time I reach the reptilian brain the question is: "How long will these above average monkeys need to recognize me as the beacon of intelligence I am."
As an additional perk, maybe I'll get to respond a question I've had for a decade: "How long would it take me to return to Excellent karma with a new account?".
My theory is that space expanded differently inside the black hole and that the difference influences our calculations, significantly reducing the needed ingested mass.
Yes, I will mention Slashdot when they give me the Nobel price for that.
Except black matter is required to explain how stars move within our own galaxy. One would think all those black holes would be spotted effecting light from stars in our galaxy if the cause of the effect was visible. Black matter is a placeholder to make the gravity equations work properly and no one has figured out yet what fills in that placeholder, or (probably less likely) if the equations are just wrong.

Clearly the entire community of Gigaom upvoted the news piece.
Apparently, on slow news days you can bypass the firehose with about 15 votes.
It depends on the delivery method.

Why carry pilots instead of an AI?

Welcome to Jazzdot's gaps. It's the news you don't read that matter.
What about guanine and adenine?
"the three basic components of life" is misleading, more like "three of the basic components of life"
The chief component is cytosine... cytosine and guanine. ...Our two chief components are cytosine and guanine...and adenine.... Our three components are cytosine, adenine and cuanine...and thymine.... Our four...no... amongst our components.... amongst our components...are such elements as cytosine, guanine....

And with God you mean Ananke, right. I mean... It's pretty clear this one's hers. The entire result conforms to her modus operandi.
This happened thousands of years before the Genesis. You need to read the bible more carefully.

Neither should you let them know your middle name.
Unless it's "Danger".
If it's "Danger" let them know it, as it instill fear in their hearts.
Or "Wolf". Let them know it's "Wolf" too.
Or a color. Any color instills fear too.
Except "Pink". Don't let them know your middle name is "Pink" or you'll die on your first day in prison.
Or rather, but large collections of random people's dna, in spray form, and spray every crime site.
Some people keep forgetting that arms races are races. The fact that one side moves forward doesn't, by itself, give that side an advantage.

We cannot play by the rules and expect to win against an enemy that has no rules.
Yes, we can. It's just a matter of changing the rules, just as we do on a daily basis.
Surely this was tested before it was rolled out, right?
If only that was the first time I heard that question today.
If only Slashdot's answer wasn't the same as mine: "...Hmm... nnn.. Yes?... I mean... Yes! Of course!"
Sorry, the coffee making me jittery (and the ADHD).
The coffee making the ADHD jittery?
The coffee making you the ADHD?
The coffee making both you and the jittery, ADHD?

Unlimited money does wonders on time compression.

Shit layout...
Oh, and of course I shall spend mod points exclusively on promoting anti new layout posts.
And here I was, thinking this was going to be a boring day.
You shouldn't post just to say this layout is shit.
Which it is.
But you shouldn't.
And yet here we are.
Shit Shit Shit.
That will be all.
This layout is shit.
Let's see how long I can keep enough karma to be read while wasting it with "this layout is shit" messages.
I'll have to be alternatingly insightful and annoying.

Don't let it happen again.
That laissez faire attitude is the source of most parenthetical unnesting in the first place.
Execution is the only solution.

Yea, but it cannot do it for it's whole life without stopping to rest...
Yes it can. As long as it steps on a landmine before getting tired.
