Alpha Centauri itself is really two stars. We're stuck with names from the time before we could resolve individual stars in multiple star systems and it leads to misunderstanding.
Systems like ours, with just one star, are a minority in the Universe.
This is garbage science, just as credible as the studies 100 years ago, done by white "scientists", that proved whites were the superior race. The parallels to Intelligent Design and Global Warming denial are obvious.
Plug wires you could just pull free haven't really been seen since distributor-less ignition became common in the mid-90s.
The average age of vehicles owned by Americans has been going up steadily (about 10 years old is the figure now!) and the comments here seem to reflect that, vastly underestimating how computerized and "black-boxed" cars have become nowadays.
I doubt there would be any easy access to the fuses from inside the cockpit. These are more often placed under the hood, and if you looked under the hood of a brand new vehicle, you see that there is a a solid wall of plastic with almost nothing user accessible. I'm fairly sure a least one recent car model doesn't even have an oil cap visible under the hood.
Initial setup for the game and building a deck are somewhat time intensive, but once you are familiar with the game you can start it up and play a game or two and then shut it down.
We're all nerds here, and this game has enough complexity to satisfy. You can also help with coding if you like by hacking on the game files, since the official game that Wagic is based on is always moving forward!
So what's the problem with blocking all the garbage with the many tools we have and also having a DNT flag on top as a clear statement that the fact my browser didn't load any of the tracking crap was entirely intentional?
While we love to rag on the editors here, they are still part of the/. community like the rest of us.
So I'm guessing the use of "Slashdot Staff" in the byline is their small act of protest against this sort of advertising being posted as a story.
Pre-Dice I recall we had one Ask Slashdot story that was sponsored by Sourceforge. We complained and it never happened again. I'd like to think complaints will still have an effect today, but I'm not as hopeful this time...
Would you do the same hand-waving if you were getting short changed via misleading advertising when pumping gas into your car or withdrawing money from your bank account?
We have standards for measures in other forms of business, I see no reason why computers should be different.

Opera is not available on iOS. Opera Mini is available, but it is not a browser strictly speaking.
Once Opera converts from Presto to Webkit it may have an iOS version.
Silly AC... silicone doesn't produce milk.
We're showing off our liver spots.
Looks like I'll be in the "old half" of /. users soon enough... :)

Japan and South Korea don't have nuclear weapons, but they could start making some with a 60 day lead time if needed.. Germany is the same.
It's not mandatory in Arch, I run with plain 'ol ALSA.
Where I do encounter PulseAudio (*buntu computers), I honestly haven't had any problem with it in years.
Part #1 came out in July 2010 and the other two parts are yet to arrive... how much longer is it going to take?
Between St. Anger and the Napster battle, those were very bad times for Metallica. Their reputation has never recovered since.
ME was released after 2000.
It could have been worse... they could have dropped support for 80386 processors.
Look more closely, Chicago has its own state.
Kubuntu 10.04 was the buggiest Linux distro I have ever run. KDE4 has come a long way since then.
I'd recommend running the KDE version of the latest Linux Mint instead of that old crap.

The old Elan or the newer one... or was it a Kia? :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Elan
It means you can't repair it unless you leave the holodeck first. Freakin' DRM, I tell ya...
Best Buy will sell you a "Product Replacement Plan" for a price.
When the BB cashier offers a warranty plan, I like to respond by saying I don't think the company will still exist in 2 years... :)

LOL... Monsanto's legal extortion certainly smells like a bunch of shit to me.
Hmm its 6 o'clock, I wonder what Natalie Portman would like to watch?
Something involving statues and hot grits, I would guess...
