See, whenever there is a book transaction, a few cents go into a bank account. They're shaved off as a remainder. Initech will never know it's missi.. oh wait.
We should have a 1st International Longest Slashdot Post competition. Same rules as the Twitter competition, except you have to deal with Slashdot's draconian input stripping
You *must* farm for Vespene gas. you *must* collect crystals. There is little room for true creativity and adventuring. There is little room for true creativity and adventuring.
I can't tell if I'm being trolled or not.
It's an RTS. Comparing Starcraft to RPGs is apples to oranges. That's like criticizing chess because you *must* move your pawn or *must* move your knight.
The real question in all this is whether Starcraft 2 is hackable or not.
The Economist is actually one of the more thoughtful news periodicals, in my opinion. Moreover, having a non-American perspective is very nice for those of us who get a majority of our news from American sources. The political coverage is especially enlightening, as it manages to transcend the Democrat / Republican talking points in a way that not even the New York Times or Wall Street Journal is able to.

It's easy to attack an economic analysis of health care as cold and calculating, but at some point we need to admit that it's not worth spending half a million dollars to keep an 80 year-old-man alive for an additional month.
Admittedly, it's harder in some situations (like in the article where the person is 67) than in others.
But people shouldn't have to crack public domain works to exercise their rights
Having the right to do something is not the same as having the right to be able to do it. I have the right to pilot a flying Tyrannosaurus while wearing a cowboy hat in my backyard, but that doesn't mean that manufacturers of such dinosaur [1] have to provide me with one.

I love how your first thought after reading about a new scientific breakthrough is "How can we tax this???"
You should run for office in Massachusetts.
Did anyone else read this as comparing Cassandra from King's Quest and Voldemort from Harry Potter?
I'm sorry, why shouldn't we reward people who come up with a novel compression algorithm?
In any event, they only get it for the next 18 years. And in all likelihood, someone will come up with a better algorithm in the mean time.
I've never really understood the anti-intellectual property sentiment on Slashdot..

Yeah, this sucks.
Sorry, Slashdot removed my mathematical symbols.

they will lie cheat and steal to get their way - china has truely embraced western culture.
Except that Western culture has watchdogs like the SEC that will bring massive fraud lawsuits against you when you try to cheat and steal.
Sys admins pretty much live in caves already, right?

Your spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors in no way impact the efficacy of your point.

Your anecdotal evidence it irrefutable.

Ah, the Ubuntu color scheme!
It does, according to the ex-President of a company of which I've never heard!
Insightful observation.
And yeah, I agree. The American system for this is far inferior to the rest of the world. It's almost as bad as not using metric...
Except the police aren't going to be able to get a warrant based on "some anonymous dude told us this guy was like totes harboring child pr0n"
I suppose I am assuming that they need warrants in the UK. They must, right?
Wow, you've managed to fail time-wise, humor-wise, and punctuation-wise! :-)
Whoops, didn't read your signature. I meant "humour."
"Honey, could you come figure out why my wireless isn't connecting?"

Have fun with that.
Should I switch to Dvorak
No. Even if you gain speed on your keyboard, the ability not to suck on other people's laptops is totally worth the 20 WPM decrement or whatever.

Euthanize the depressive!!!
I'm pretty sure he's restricting his proposition to the terminally (or likely terminally) ill.

[1] Please tell me they exist
I'd look into appealing on the basis that Nesson did not provide a proper defense
I don't think a malpractice suit against Nesson is likely to succeed, but it would be AWESOME; thus, I fully support this suggestion!
Or the famous "wreck a nice beach" instead of "recognize speech"
I mean, the post() could be in the constructor of CleverAttempt...
Um, not if there is a lip-reader in the same room, like a hearing-impaired person.
You could just cover your mouth with your hand so that only the phone can see it?
