Does having a society full of horny men who will never ever score sound like a good idea?
The widespread infanticide of female infants in China due to the one-child policy and a preference for male children is setting China up for just such a destabilizing situation in the future.
There are not drivers for everything though, and even if you use exactly the same components as are in a kosher Mac, I still doubt ol' Steve would be too happy with you.
Umm... who the hell cares what Steve Jobs would think? If he's even a little bit of a true geek, he ought to appreciate the ingenuity involved.
Last.fm's definition of "hottest" is what people actually listen to. It's not a handful of artist names handed down from MusicMegaCorpCoLLC to be digested by the uninformed masses;)
The masses' musical tastes are still mostly decided by "MusicMegaCorpCoLLC", even if not directly through Last.fm.
The same general pool of artists is popular on Last.fm as is popular on radio.
It's worth pointing out that the basic laws governing both Germany and Japan were created during the period when both of these countries were under US occupation after the second World War.
Some of the laws they have come directly from a Allied desire to limit their ability to return to the sort of military power and political setup they had during WWII.
The most obvious example is in the heavy limitations on the Japanese military, and the fact that Japan cannot declare war except in self-defense. I feel the rules against Nazi symbols in Germany were also heavily influenced by the occupation forces' desires.
Banks have received government bailout money (coming ultimately from taxpayers) and have engaged in a huge program of bumping rates and fees recently to squeeze money from cardholders. It's a total farce.
I've fallen behind on my credit card payments since I've lost my job, and I plan to go through bankruptcy since I have few assets and my credit is already ruined. I originally thought I could pay the debt back, but now I'm filled with a desire to punish the banks. How else can I hurt them except by defaulting on my debt?
It would be in the long term interest of all involved parties for U.S. to slowly pay off its debt by gradually re-balancing its economy to manufacture more and to buy less chinese junk.
Do you honestly think that will happen? I certainly don't. US politicians have no interest in increasing taxes and decreasing spending because that doesn't get them votes. US citizens have no interest in buying less Chinese junk because their self-identity comes from being consumers, and because the vast majority of them have lived most of their lives in personal debt and they have less and less ability to get out of debt.
The resolution to this situation is going to have to be painful, because no interested party is going to willingly sacrifice to correct the problem. Everyone will eventually be forced to sacrifice.
You may also want to have a look at SRWare Iron, a Chromium build with the Google tracking crap removed. It also includes things such as adblocking (not finished in the Linux version, nor is Flash support)
Linux version is in alpha, but works very well for me.

Easily the biggest WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH I have ever seen on /.
I believe your definition of reality differs significantly from my definition of reality.
FTFY

These days it's trendy to claim a $1 a year salary while you have millions given to you as stock options, paid expenses, etc.

If you use Firefox, have a look at this addon.

Have you heard of bsnes? It's claimed to have 100% perfect emulation of all but 3 games.
I highly recommend it.
That would make a nice sample image for the "Gallery of Wrong" in this article.
Now it's been fixed on the frontpage, too.
Good to see the editors actually do something... :)
The study uses the assumption that LEDs last 2.5 times as long as CFLs, and 25 times longer than incandescents.
The summary wording is incorrect on the frontpage of /., but correct on this page... scroll up and look.
Weird.
I could understand if I tried to then sell my stool to others
I won't be buying your poop, nor that of anyone else!
cool story, bro.

Sarkozy is the most pro-copyright and most bigoted leader to appear in Old Europe in the last 50 years.
FTFY. The only pirates Sarkozy is tough on on those of the filesharing type.

I googled it and it looks legit... here is a more specific attribution:

Very insightful quote... thanks to OP for bringing it up.
He hasn't yet understood that money doesn't grow in trees and this is how our economy works.
The statement that "money doesn't grow on trees" meant something when the US dollar was not a fiat currency, but it's not so applicable nowadays.
Money may not grow on trees, but it certainly can be and is "grown" (as in, "created from nothing") on a printing press.

If you are a citizen of the US, then you have a share of the national debt hanging over your head.
The political propaganda used to obscure this fact does not change it.
Americans cannot continue to live this way forever.

This is will almost certainly be the /.ers choice for a Chromium-based browser in the long run.
I would agree with that based on the summary, but TFA and TFS don't seem to be talking about the same thing.

This is a bullshit attempt to Karma whore on Slashdot IMHO.
Karma whore? Anonymous Cowards can't karma whore.
You're doing it wrong.
You watched Zeitgeist, I take it? :)
