Out of curiosity: which half of the country has more gun murders? This looks like it could be a case of lying statistics, though I honestly don't know.
And I'm a classically-trained piano and clarinet player who very much loves to play Guitar Hero. Five-starring a song is just as rewarding as mastering a very hard piece, and takes much less time.
At that distance, the new measurements show that the galaxy is rotating at a speed of 965,600 km/h, compared to previous estimates of 804,672 km/h, the astronomers report.
Forgive the possibly stupid question, but since km/h is a measure of linear speed, is that saying that we're traveling at that speed or is the edge of the Milky Way moving that fast?
I'm not normally the one to complain about this, but seriously, it's getting ridiculous. I have no problem with Idle being its own separate entity that I can ignore or follow as I choose, but I do have a problem with Idle stories leaking into Main. A story about a refrigerated beach with an Idle-style picture and a stupid joke at the end is not News for Nerds or Stuff that Matters.
I haven't used iTunes, but if it isn't based on simple popularity but has some kind of after-the-purchase rating system, there shouldn't be too many worries. If there isn't, they should implement one. With reviews and ratings like Amazon.
Admittedly true, but you can still listen to stereo, just with one less ear and without the surround-sound effects. Nimey and I can't watch 3D movies at all, just weirdly overlapping pictures.
Same here, and my father. (Actually, truth be told, I do have depth perception, but 3D glasses still don't work. He doesn't have it.) Every time a movie comes out in 3D, we both sigh a little since we know we'll never see it. Hopefully this 3D football stuff doesn't catch on, since we both watch the sport fairly regularly.
Oh, and out of curiosity, do you really get in melee combat so often that not having depth perception is an issue?
I disagree. In high school, one of my best friends hacked into the school network for admittedly less-than-noble purposes (he was trying to get info for a senior prank). He found a file that sounds very similar to the file this student found. Immediately he went straight to the principal and reported the flaw. He was then hit with a lawsuit and had to pay thousands of dollars in legal fees to try to protect himself.
Fast forward six months. While he was still in court, a freshman in the school also hacked into the network. This time the file may have leaked, meaning that about 10,000 social security numbers (mine included) could have been released.
The moral of the story is that if the original hacker reports the hole, he gives an opportunity to fix it and protect all of the people involved. Because our school went with litigation instead of self-protection, they exposed their community.
A student should get a fine for breaking the law, but one that matches the crime done. But students shouldn't get nailed for things like modifying a search engine that indexes songs and getting nailed with $15,000,000 lawsuit in damages. That's the *AAs.
In a capitalist society, destroying one's wealth is essentially mutilation. And that's precisely what the *AAs do (and thus why universities spend >$100k to protect themselves).
I didn't RTFA (the Linux one) on account of being slashdotted, but I'd presume based on the summary that they don't think 3.0 is a big leap forward. I'm not surprised, since they're not on Mac. As a recent Mac convert, I was incredibly disappointed that OO.o, my favorite office suite, was very bad on this OS for version 2.x, on account of running in a very slow and ugly X11 window. The new version runs locally, meaning that I can finally return to using the suite I know and love.

Dude, uncalled-for attacks against religion don't count either.

Combining this with some other studies, I guess there's pretty clearly a link between breastfeeding and violence!

Not trollin', just sayin'.
I'm not sure, should that be "Quis archiviet ipsos archivides?"
I understand the bit with angular momentum, I just missed the bit about "at that distance." Thanks!

There is.
Not to mention the fact that building a space elevator on ice is probably a very bad idea...

It's quite simple, really.
His! Name! Is!
Lancelot!
And in tight pants a lot
He likes to dance a lot
You know you do!
I do?
So just say "Thanks" a lot
And try romance -- it's hot!
Let's find out who's really you!
His name is Lancelot
He visits France a lot
He likes to dance a lot and dream
No one would ever know
That this outrageous pro
Bats for the other team!
Island, eh? Will Rhode Island suffice?
I take it the rest are immortal.
My website will be the best.est website ever!
That's an excellent question, and one we still haven't gotten answers to.

Actually, that's what they want. Make http://slashdot.dot/ or if you prefer to make it harder to read, http:///...
Both of us will be very happy.

So when you're done you'll wish it was your head in the box?
