There is a lot of water on Titan. The planet is actually made of the stuff.
Did you really just call Titan a planet? Either you did, or your post is written in an especially confusing way. Now, which of us needs our morning coffee before posting on Slashdot again?
Of course that's crazy. The more reasonable solution, obviously, is to happily give your attorney your money in order to sue the guy for defamation. However, this only works if what the guy says is demonstrably false, so if you really are a moron* and what the guy says about your wife and your sex life really is true, you're SOL.
Disclaimer: IANAL.
* Wait, if he thinks you're a moron, you may still be SOL, no matter how non-moron you are. He can believe whatever he wants. It's if he starts spreading these lies as facts that you should start giving your attorney your money.
I'd like to find out. I'd also like to try posting a comment in Chromium 6 on Debian Testing.
One problem I'd like to point out is that the list of subjects on the sidebar on the left obscure other site content when I'm logged in. I have this problem in Chromium 6.0.472.63 (59945) and Iceweasel 3.5.16.
Stupid Question: If Slashdot's code is so buggy that it's literally impossible to read the site's content, has anything of value been lost?
Not bad, but I was thinking about it from the other direction: I thought that the answer to pirates was more DRM, not lasers. I expected a story about some sort of new laser for reading optical media that would ensure copyright protection. I thought the eye-patch thing was some kind of metaphor or something comparing software pirates to actual pirates.
The Doctor has tried marrying his companion before. I get the feeling that this can only end as well as the marriage between Tom Baker and Lalla Ward.
This particular story is almost as bad as that time when the Doctor and his granddaughter were clearly checking each other out (Peter Davison, Carole Ann Ford, "The Five Doctors").
Also, the "better 5 than nothing" argument is heavily flawed. They definitely lost full-price sales to people who only paid a fraction of that.
I know I'm probably falling for a troll here, but can you prove that those who paid less for a game through a pay-what-you-wish thing are guaranteed to have paid full price if the cheaper option wasn't available?
If you can prove this, I recommend you apply for a job on the RIAA's legal team. From what I read here on/., they could probably really use proof of this idea.
And just to disprove your statement with one (admittedly, anecdotal) counterexample already: I know I've come across games before on Steam that were $20, for which I would have been willing to pay $10, or that were $10 and for which I would have paid $5. Therefore, I am not guaranteed to pay full price if the cheaper option isn't available. Therefore, your statement is false, and you cannot know how many full-price sales you lose to events like Humble Bundles.
Linking is the equivalent to pointing and shouting "Oh look, a deer!" in the real world.
I think it's more like "Hey, I think you should read this book. It's called <title>, and you can buy it at <store>." According to the "linking == publishing" philosophy, recommending a book to someone like this means that I have stolen the author's work and called it my own.
I'm waiting with some terror for the day when using library resources and reading books in the bookstore without purchase is considered equal to copyright infringement.
No, this sonic screwdriver will not help you pick up chicks. For that, you need an impractically long scarf and a big, goofy hat. At least, those items seem to help me.
Where do they serve this type thing? Is this inside or outside the US?
It's served at Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food restaurants in the United States, as well as in some of the KFC restaurants in other countries around the world. Although it has gone nationwide in the United States, the Wikipedia page on the sandwich suggests that it is still an experimental product in the other countries.
They offer downloads for PC and Mac. What, no Linux version? You mean I have to play the version on the website to play in Linux?
If they won't give me Linux Tofu Boy, then I have absolutely no incentive to cease my consumption of meat. Clearly, they don't care about me, so I will continue to not care about them.
I should go have a double down or something later....
I realize I'm responding to an AC who is probably just trolling, but I'd like to point out here that by definition, a crime is only a violation of criminal law. In the United States, copyright is covered under civil law, which is entirely different from criminal law. Therefore, copyright infringement is not a crime. Okay, that's only usually true, as there are very specific circumstances which constitute felony copyright infringement, but in the majority of cases, the police cannot just come and bust down your door and take you away because you pulled down a few songs.
Now, my stupid question is this: Is this also the case in Sweden? Or is copyright part of Swedish criminal law?

Wait, wait, wait - so what happens if I fire a speeding bullet from the car while the car is in motion?
It's like a oblique troll that something is Useless Until Proven Useful.
Not unlike the user(s) posting the troll post(s), I daresay.

Sometimes integration is a bitch.
Integration is always a bitch. I find derivatives far easier to calculate.

Pictures of a stealth fighter.
If I can get pictures of it, is it really all that stealthy?
According to her page on the TARDIS Wiki, Tom Baker is her "favorite monster" on Doctor Who.

Keep this book away from me! This guy's gonna spoil the next few episodes of Pioneer One for me if I'm not careful. D:
True. And what a pity. They'll have to find the answer to that one before they can etch the Periodic Table onto your dick.
True. And what a pity, too. They'll have to find the solution to that one before they can etch the Periodic Table onto your dick.
I also read it as Epileptic Labs. I was also amused by the thought of the gestures being little more than rapid, random shaking due to seizures.
Don't worry. You are not alone. :-)

The Republicans want me, an ignorant, uninformed American, to decide what to cut from the US Government budget?
I vote we cut the Republican Party.
Who's with me?
What, you mean the one you crashed into my police box last we-
. . .
Oh dear. Terribly sorry. You'll find out in your near future, I guess.
No, this sonic screwdriver will not help you pick up chicks. For that, you need an impractically long scarf and a big, goofy hat. At least, those items seem to help me.
You could, y'know, just...do that....

It is delicious.

A great (or at least, silly) man once said that if he were to replace the colored threat level system, he would do it with only two levels:
And now, people know what to do when the threat level is elevated.
Also, they call him "Tater Salad."
