2 seconds for ABS or non-ABS? They said 4 when I learned. And that's assuming you're actually 100% paying attention at the time. With the cell phones and all, what are the odds?
People habitually sitting less than 2 car-lengths off your back bumper at 60mph is just retarded. And when they have to keep tapping their brakes, you'd think they'd be reminded of how dangerous a situation they're putting themselves in, banking on the fact that the guy in front of them doesn't slow down by more than 5 mph.
Completely agreed. Whoever had the bright idea that the audio is the first thing to go when there's the least bit of interference needs a good hard cockpunch.
You might note that I commented on the format of his response, not on the content. He already referenced Google before I came along. Ergo, while I do not comment on the validity of your statement, it would be more on-topic if posted as a reply to the grandparent's post.
Saying "light can't escape" leaves the (remote, maybe) possibility that it is possible to get an object going faster than light, but it would still not escape the black hole.
Non-scientific, I know, but it's a funny scene to imagine:
"We're being pulled in! There's no escape!"
"You're forgetting about the FTL drive." *flips switch*
Did you miss the part where he was paying in Euros, i.e., likely not in the United States? Normally I hate it when people point this out, but dude...
And also, another pet peeve of mine is when people say "America." I bet any of those South American countries ruled by pseudoelected presidents would beg to differ about that whole freedom thing.
How can you be running a browser without something like NoScript these days? It's almost as bad as running a Windows machine without anti-virus software.
1. Many sites rely on scripts for major functionality. Have you ever tried doing *anything* in Dillo? But then again, I've never used NoScript so maybe I have no idea.
2. I do not feel the need to parnoically maintain a whitelist and waste all my time figuring out what is safe.
3. As long as you are not a fucking idiot online, you're not likely to get infected with anything to begin with. I can count the number of times that AVG* has told me of a threat that I was actually surprised at, over the last 3 years, on the fingers of one hand. Ergo, "running a Windows machine without anti-virus software" is actually possible.
But on the other hand, I just have this habit of refusing to get into things that everybody is crazy about. This is why I neither use NoScript, or Chrome, or own any Apple products, or use iTunes, or listen to the shitty hip-hop music these days. So get off my lawn!:)
*Yeah yeah, tell me to use a different antivirus. Which kind of addresses my point anyway.
While I agree with your point, is it even possible to legally purchase a copy of Windows XP by now? I thought they stopped doing that outside of netbooks months ago, and now that Windows 7 is out they were going to put that on netbooks.
It's a trap! Are we actually supposed to believe that even if they *do* find foul play, the ISP's are actually going to get punished with any efficacy?

Why Dawkins Is Right and His Critics ARRRR!!
Do *you* remember the winners, or even the teams, in the last couple dozen world cups? Sure, you could look them up, but...
hippocracy
A form of government involving rule by hippopotami?
Because a stadium full of people making noise at 107 dB is so much better than the same stadium at 127 dB?

Yes.

Not even a LMGTFY link? Your sarcasm is wholly inadequate :-)

Anything that's sensitive
Because all U.S. citizens have highly sensitive information. And hardly any of them actually know or care about configuring the security.

Farmville is free! Those communist bastards, BURN THEM ALL! America!
Lol yeah, cf. that law about people with small chests being legally considered under 18. Or was that Germany or something?
And I believe that eating oranges is dangerously close to owning a car that is purple.

Wait, are you saying that Slashdotters are attractive to homosexuals?

Hey, don't blame me; it's not my analogy.
And you might have noticed he didn't say anything about racial lynching. Race != Religion/Morality.
Damn! Beat to the Voltaire paraphrase by an Anonymous Coward.
See, now you're insulting the United States AND Denmark. That's just not cool, man.
If it runs all the legacy stuff, why do you think it won't run the million viruses?
I think his point was kind of about in Islamic countries...
