Maybe for the same reason that Slashdot uses a 3Dified version of the IE5 logo as an icon for Internet Explorer?... and this on a website where people bitch endlessly about IE6, let alone something even more ancient...
China has fallen under foreign control several times, most notably with the Manchus and Mongols. You could also argue they were a colony of sorts for Western imperial powers from the 1700s up until the early part of the 20th century.
They certainly have a resilient culture, but their government has gone down in flames many times.
The Ferrari Testarossa isn't a recent car nor a particular valuable Ferrari. The original model had 380 bhp and isn't terribly quick (acceleration-wise) by current standards, especially not compared to the pictured 599 GTB Fiorano.
Ferraris have long gearing, so it would have been easier for this guy to hit 85 in town with a current Mustang GT than this old Ferrari.
It's reasonable to argue that the fact that professors mostly communicate to students and not vice versa is one of the biggest problems with our education system.
If these kids think one way communication is boring, can you blame them? How interesting is one way communication in other situations, like a relationship or at work?
I did a reinstall on a friend's HP Vista laptop, and I was shocked and appalled by the amount of junk on there. The long interactive Flash video that plays when the computer is first booted would also be extremely misleading to a novice, as it appears to be offering software choices, but it's really just a bunch of advertising. This was far worse than any Dell or Sony I have worked on in the past.
The reinstall was needed after I attempted to work on her computer and noticed she didn't even have SP1 for Vista yet. I ran all the MS updates, and ended up with a corrupted NTOSKRNL.EXE and an unbootable Vista at the end of the process. Wiped all that junk and installed a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate.:)
Having the explosives on other people or in their luggage seriously increases the difficulty of detonating them. You would also have to account for their different positions on the plane.
Since the average temperate of the Universe would have been much greater back then, all that heat could have sped up the process quite a bit compared to the current day.

They did it for the lulz.
Why not invert the colors in your browser window while reading, then?
If you meta-moderated yourself, you'd know that it no longer has anything to do with moderation of the moderators.
while I go back to my parents basement to play WoW.
We all know you never left that basement in the first place. :)

Where the heck do I find the Opt-Out?
The Pirate Bay
Wrong story, bro.
64-bit Flash works just fine for me in Linux on all three of my browsers (Firefox, Chromium, Opera).
I have downloaded the ICC complier, but I am unable to figure out what flag to use so I can compile FF with it instead of GCC on Linux.
Would you happen to know?

I look forward to the day when humans can be transported through these tubes as in Futurama.
You must be new here.
GP is just a copypasta troll with the beginning modified to fit this article.
Nothing interesting.

"will they be able to support Chrome browsing at full speed on the most JavaScript- and Flash-intensive websites".
They can test the JS performance by visiting Slashdot. It has way more JS than any other site I visit.
You'd rather run Win 3.11 than a modern Linux distro streamlined for a phone? You're either a huge MS fanboy or a troll.
In any case, MS has already killed and buried all the OSes you mention, so the choice is already made for you.
Maybe he was trying to head off any "citation needed" comments with "RTFS".
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I'll believe you.

I use 64-bit Linux, and my Unix time doesn't roll over until Sunday, December 4, 292,277,026,596, you insensitive clod!
If you try to buy something with an empty wallet, then you'll be charged that exact amount without any leftover.
The main functionality of the wallet is for parents to put X amount of cash in there and let their kids decide what to buy later.

Go back to Digg, where you can wait 45 s for each page load, due to the mountains of shitty JavaScript they throw at your browser.
Posting that on Slashdot is delicious irony.
There is no support for real content blocking in Chrome, apparently. :(
