Oh, what sad times are these when even a shrubbery can't stop a 4x4. Back in the days we had high quality shrubbery, a master could design and build one that could stop a tank in its tracks.
None at all, but all that was in the summary was some marketing and a link to the site in question. Not exactly a decent setup for discussions. Even a minor review would have added at least some interest in what it was about (I'm not going to download something because someone random mentions it).
There are only two Star Wars films, Star Wars and the sequel The Empire Strikes Back.
The rest is poorly created trash flicks made by a crazed man known as George Lucas to steal candy from children, which he sadly made a great profit and career out of.
It doesn't follow that fitting ~300k 6502 cores onto the Sandy Bridge equals the same in processing power, only that they could fit onto it.
Additionally you should also consider the clock cycles of instructions as there have been significant improvements (as well as "special" sets like SSE) which also increase the computing power.
All MMOs are grinds, but some still manage to be different from WoW (like Tabula Rasa and Ryzom) and be great games on their own. They often do this by having a great (roleplay) community and/or focus on story development, the clones rarely get that they need more than just a copy of the mechanics.
Pro tip to Slashdot users: Stuff one of the SJ figurines down the front of your pants* and even you can obtain a girl- or boyfriend.
* Please note that prolonged exposure can result in: Expensive cloth and hardware habits, occasional cravings for grilled shoes with squid dressing, becoming a sex symbol and/or growing a beard.

There already is an opt-in when you buy the service. You bought the service, not your children, it is your responsibility how you let then use it. If you want to limit what your children do with it, either educate them on it, or if that is too much for you get some software that do a default blacklist and add you own whitelist of sites that are okay for them to visit. Parenting is not something you can magically get others to do for you.

That scares me, emperor penguins must be the most dangerous creature on Earth if they can only be counted from space.

Hehe, yeah I think that hid in the scotoma of my eyes. xD
"I'll keep an eye out for /. so I'll get some reviews of the games included"
Something like that should have been in either the summary or with a link, without it it is just an advertisement.

Did I miss something, or don't they even try to disguise advertisement on /. anymore? o_O
It would appear that you are referring to "janteloven", it is a rather outdated, from 1933, view of (forced) equality.
...the sites were back up but that is largely because they didn't have anymore Raspberry Pis to sell.
People sure do buy some freaky stuff on the net. o_O
I can finally play GTA on my Apple computer? Awesome. :p
Looks like Obama is wearing a tiny black wizard hat ... OMFG, he is the Bloodninja. :O
Nah, it is part of car analogies often used on /. :D
So he just became a normal user as seen on Facebook, Twitter e.t.c.
CmdrTaco's tears can cure memory loss, unfortunately he never cries.
Oh man, at least add a spoiler alert when talking about the Space Invader film. ;p
For 736c:6173:6864:6f74:2e6f:7267:: or similar to become available? :)

Uhm, you probably shouldn't use devices with electronics or ferromagnetic materials in them there, just a heads up. ;P

1600 papers you say, then it is a kilo leak. ;P
Reporting works so much better without hyperbole.
Must be some really nice stuff the editors are smoking for this to pass as front page material.

Let me be the first to congratulate the person who manage to make a 911 video call where Rick Astley is present. :)
Ah, that would explain the main purpose of the 'rally to restore sanity' on the 30th of October. ;)
