I never really considered Godzilla as an argument for nuclear reactors in airplanes.
That's the beauty od Slashdot.
You learn with each post, aquiring a detailed view of the current state of world threatening matters. Like Godzilla or certified evil lying man eating robots.
freedom is being able to have a camera around your neck no matter which country you visit, unless you don't want it there. Also, you get to choose where to point the camera.
Is there a time limit? How long do you have to keep the camera for the country to be free?
Also, is it freedom if you're given a reasonable selection of acceptable targets you can point your camera to?
The third question is related to William Wallace and possible historical inaccuracies, so I'll leave it for later.
I would seriously hate to be the guy that tripped over that power cable.
A sentry gun will be installed in the power cable corridor, to execute you the precise moment you've done your tripping. So you wouldn't have time to hate being yourself.
(redundant, redundant power. I know, I know)
To answer your worried look: yes, there's a redundant sentry gun for the other cable too.
Japan outlawed political candidates from using Twitter 59 years ago, eh?
The original commandment was "Thou shall not tweet".
At that time it was incorrectly interpreted as "Thou shall not kill", thus the eternal incomprehension of divine messages requesting the slaughter of thousands of heretics.
and controlling as Heinrich Himmler was. I think if Mandelson ever got anymore political power, He would create a nightmare country with him at the center of power.
Welcome to Mendelsonia.
Population: *Your security code isn't high enough to access that information*
It's starting to look like the war is over, and the lobbyists won. I doubt they even have to work that hard any more. The perception of the population has been changed.
Copying is stealing.
Pfff, that's a minor victory.
They won't be happy till they reach:
Copying is GENOCIDE!
They're already preparing the scripts for the movies about the rise and fall of the pirate nazis; how killing jews opened the door to more heinous crimes like downloading songs or installing their games in multiple pcs.
P.S.: Yes, I am very proud of my best Goodwin yet.
About 20 years ago my house mates and I all forgot to bring a TV set when we started a semester in college. For the first week, we were bitching about "what to do", by the third week, I had taken up racquetball and spent more time studying. By the end of the semester, I had lost weight, was in better shape, and my GPA went up.
Imagine if you had forgotten to bring everything else. For the first week, you'd be bitching about "what to eat", by the second week you'd be hunting with your bare hands and trying to make a bow with a branch. By the end of the semester you'd be a muscular hunting machine, dressed with furs and eating your preys' hearts, still alive and beating.
Now, instead of posting in slashdot, you'd be howling to the moon.
Or you could've gone back to take what you forgot.
Probably half the people on slashdot have been playing "violent" video games since they were 9, maybe earlier, and those people are well adjusted (at least as well adjusted as you can be, posting on slashdot)
There's another Slashdot completely unrelated to this one?!
Amazing!
And they have at least one half of well adjusted population. I can't even imagine what they must talk about.
Slashdot2: News for well adjusted people, stuff nobody cares about.
Wing Commander: Yes please. The space-combat-sim genre has been sadly dormant for many years now and this is one franchise where a full reboot would be highly desirable. Take it back to the Kilrathi war, spend a fortune on the FMV cutscenes and recreate the sinking "I'm going to need a new PC" series that the old games were known and loved for.
It makes sense to decrease the legislation that is heavily in favour of the company rather than the consumer (things like making it illegal to make personal backups or making fines for infringement hugely out of proportion) but if they get to complete freedom to pirate everything then they've taken it too far the other way and the economy will falter again.
That's why I don't vote the left.
It makes sense to go for a system that takes into account the general population and tries to protect the less favoured, but then they could go for utopic communism, the abolishment to private property and in the next legislature, they may enforce genetic manipulation to make us all identical. And replace names by numbers, so nobody has a better name.
And then, they'd probably forbid the use of the singular in language. We'd have to use plurals for everything.
tl;dr: Don't worry, a couple million votes to the pirate party won't destroy UK's economy.

What a crappy joke. I wish I could find you and kill you.
I mean...
Oh! A bad pun! Should we cross our paths, I'd rather extinguish your life.
My dear sir.
i is the perimeter of your happy place.
In grue feet.

The marines should be making the decisions and dodging the other guys robots.
You mean "dodging the other guys rocks", right?
Just imagine what would've happened if a nuclear reactor crashed into WTC. The bottom of the sea doesn't have this problem.
You clearly haven't seen many disaster movies.
There are many ways a nuclear ship and a NY sky scraper can crash against each other, including:
- Giant wave.
- Godzilla.
- Earthquake
- Giant Octopus.
"Being good enough that everyone prefers your free service to other competing free services is NOT A MONOPOLY".
I usually explain this as: "gmail is as much a monopoly as the democraticly elected president is a dictator".
Yes, not only the obvious part is analogous.

This is an example of /. needing a "-1 Factually incorrect" to cancel "+1 Informative" mods.
Offtopic but, how do you interpret "-1 Overrated" on a "+1 Informative"?

The data would be anonymous, but serious repeat infringers would be tracked down through their computer ID numbers.
This must be some definition of the word 'anonymous' that I was not previously aware of.
It's a typo. They meant the data would be an oni mouse; i.e.: A mouse that travels through an optical network interface.
It's a faunization of the truck analogy.
Unless your name is Jason Bourne I don't think you have to worry about this anytime soon however.
Frak!
What? Jason? No, no. You must have me mistaken with someone else.
I'm... Bond. James Bond.
Frak!
If it isn't written on his birth certificate, I don't believe it :)
It's right there:

*: The D stands for "dumbfatties".
Eating unhealthy foods causes health problems. News at 11. Try the new octo cheese burger while you're waiting.
The news actually are a cleverly disguised "Fat people are dumb".

There's a lolzcatz party? Who knew.
Yes. And the slogans are:
1 - "I can haz your vote."
and
2 - "Yes, we can haz cheezburger."

I wholeheartedly support that request.
If you have a kid, you should NEVER SHARE A COMPUTER with it.
If you have a kid, you should probably not call him "it".
Unless you want him to eventually become a scary clown, of course.
Change will not come to the UK through elections, protests or revolutions. It will come through stagnation and then collapse

I swear, if I hear ANYONE say, "LOOK, A MONKEY!" again and point to an orangutan or gorilla I'm going to kill someone.
I've also heard penguins being called fish, Bats called birds and just about anything small and furry, mice.
Some people don't need any animal classification beyond "fish - meat - not food".
