Considering the UN's liberal agenda of stifling free speech, and the US submitting to trampling over its constitution, we are facing another step closer to an Orwellian dystopia. See where the slippery slopes lead?
That word doesn't mean what you think it does. I suspect you use it often.
Google Image Search not so recently started accepting images as search terms. You can either upload one, supply the URL or drag-drop depending on browser. It does a fairly good job of finding similar images.
...and I also think the "crazy libertarians" line is a little weird, especially for somewhere like Slashdot which has generally liberal views on technology and privacy.
More than a little weird when you realise the the UK doesn't have Libertarian parties in the same sense that the US uses the word; the coalition is made of of Conservatives and Liberals.
I try not to rant (too much) about free services but please, timothy, you need to do a better job of editing before you should start editorialising. It's bad enough seeing ill-informed comments without you added to the mix.
Self-service petrol stations are having a renaissance: by filling up a customer's tank for them they are free to go inside and browse the store and potentially buy things more profitable than fuel.
It's a spoof, yes, but one done out of sincere love and admiration for a national treasure. RIP Sir Patrick. At least we can console ourselves with the knowledge that you've just found the perfect vantage point to see the stars you loved so much.
For the sake of argument, is it really that cruel? It doesn't seem as bad to me as docking a puppy's tail; primary feathers grow back, don't they?
Mind you, a friend of mine had a beautiful white parrot when I was younger and he never had much trouble with it breaking his stuff. Perhaps instead of altering a pet to one's home it's better to alter the home to suit the pet.
Most independent forecourts make between two and four pence profit on a litre of fuel – meaning a full tank only earns the petrol station between £1 and £2.
Link is a bit outdated but I can't see how a garage's lot will have improved much in the past year. For the sake of those who live in other countries, a full tank of fuel here costs around the £50-60 mark (€60-75 or $80-100)
Given the slim profits that garages make from petrol sales (in the UK at least) that wouldn't surprise me. I've heard that the average garage makes less than £100 each day from petrol; their main earners are magazines and snacks. Admittedly this is all anecdotal.
Slashdot Mirror
I before E, except after C...
...The amazing thing about the rule is that it works at all...
It doesn't. I think there are probably more exceptions to that rule than words that actually follow it.

Why are people hooked on the "false dillema" falicy?
FTFY. Please, let's try and have at least one science article free of politics and anti-$country rhetoric.

I'm not going to bother linking to Google.
You seem to be conflating "guy" (gayness notwithstanding) with "slut". Some guys are sluts, but please don't tar us all with the same brush.
Glutamate is a quite common flavour enhancer in processed food. Does that mean processed food can make you suicidal?
No, but it does explain why brains are so tasty.
Look! It's that guy whose camper they were whacking off in!
I also got initially excited about vector displays... and frankly, I don't see anything special about video compression with vectors...
Apples and oranges, surely.
As the submitter, I'd like to point out that the final paragraph was added by the editor...
Why am I not surprised?

He also played the xylophone.

oodaloop's Law doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
They must sell a lot of petrol indeed.

Orbital Superstructures? Nah, vacuum welding is bad enough without adding gluons to the mix.
A little humility goes a long way. Not too much, mind you, otherwise it ends up being only marginally better than bragging.
This is a social issue, you moron. Private vs. public schools aren't a factor here.
FYI for our American friends: private here means public and public means private.
You seem to be confusing nerds with lawyers.

Is there any way to know if you're retaliating against the correct target?
Does "hack back into the system from which the attack originated" == "retaliating against" or is it merely investigation into the perpetrators?
That depends. Are you only looking?
Everyone here knows that monkeys come from France!
I for one would rather die.
How lucky you are; if you are laid low as Scott has been you won't have to wait a decade to tell anyone.
Will they ask him if he wants to die?
