why computer stores are very eager to sell LCDs instead: less wasted storage space per unit. I remember when I worked in a computer stock house; half the space was used for monitors alone. Think about how much extra space that amounts to; you can have twice as many monitors in the same space (better bulk rates) or use half the space for something else (more product diversity).
Sad thing is, the only thing that kept me from getting spaghetti arms back then was that I was working my arse of with those buggers. Now I have nothing...
Again, I was reacting to the summary. I agree that the toxic fuel is regrettable. I have in the past flamed the US for polluting, and it is still my viewpoint that pollutance should be kept to a scraped minimum. Each year I have family from Greenland to visit Denmark because of pollution-induced cancer, and of course this has affected my view.
The site was slashdotted when I saw the summary, so RTFA was pretty hard. On the giant scale of things, however, a few dead cows isn't bad. An industry built on the blood of cows, however, is. (Yes, I am a vegetarian)
It's all very democratic, ie. the people choose whose bullshit to believe. In recent years, americanese politician campaign tactics have begun being used here. Very filthy habit, that - and it has muddled the pond of politics even further.
In Denmark, we have a little over half a dozen political parties in Parliament. Even though it is true that most people hold that 'their wing' is better than the other, all but the most populist parties (ie. the three largest) try to differentiate themselves as much as possible from the rest.
in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, there's a radio programme wherein the commercial block includes commercials for the local Republican, and the incumbent democrat is accused of killing along these lines: "Last year Democratic Senator bought a SUV, and since then there has been two unsolved vehicular homicides involving Sports Utility Vehicles. Is he responsible? Do you want to take that risk?" Actually, most of the radio commercials in that game are hilarious... And great gameplay.
I totally agreed with your post until you started flaming socialist. What the bloody hell are you on about? It's almost as daft as saying "socialists are all terrorists".
Slashdot Mirror
Cars today *need* the extra safety because of the extra speed.
That's just a temporary fix, for as long as the trees exist - which is not necessarily that long.
(Say it like "Bad dog")
Man bites dog=worrisome news. That sort upsets people, so don't print it! People want to know what they already know.
Sometimes it's impossible to follow links on /. summaries, hence the so-called "Slashdot Effect"
Developers, developers, developers, developers!"
I'm still dumbfounded by this guy.
"I'll tell you where the bakery is... IF YOU RESCUE MY DAUGHTER FROM DROWNING!" ^_^
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!
Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
Anyone can metamod, mod points are much more rare
Actually, Duke Nukem Forever has been slated to ship with Longhorn.
Good news everyone, you'll be playing DNF by this time next year!

Here's how moderation works:
1. Get mod points
2. Use mod points
3. If "2" was executed in an acceptable manner, "1" will occur more often
I wish I just hadn't wasted my last mod point for this week, I know what I'd do with it.

In the same way is this classical example:
My mother cannot fly
A rock cannot fly
Therefore my mother is a rock.

While we're at it, we could do a Search, replace on Socialist as well...

Think, man.
and only 4 posts. Whee.
At least the summary could have been better.
I just crawled outta bed. Still haven't brushed my teeth.
You killed them. It's probably the nipple thing.
with shit about China. SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Glad you got them all out of the way. Hope you didn't miss any.
Beautiful response. I was at a loss, myself...
