We have a chemical that is release at, or soon after, orgasm which causes us to be sleepy.
Men do have a biological instinct to have sex with as many women as possible, however, there are several reasons for this not to be an immediate occurrence, including disease control, and making sure the first woman is pregnant before going to the next (we're talking biological instinct). Sleep make it difficult to hop out of bed with one woman, and into bed with another in a very short timespan.
Women, with limited reproductive capability, have an instinct to protect themselves from unfit fathers.
Men sleep after sex to counteract the ability to reproduce with another female almost immediately after copulation, hence keeping the couple intact longer.
Of course society has come in and screwed us all up. Women now get pissed at us for sleeping, despite being a chemical reaction. Alcohol and Hollywood screw up what people consider healthy.... and now back to your regularly scheduled topic.
You call yourself a Slashdotter, and have not heard of Diebold selling "coding errors" to the highest-bidding political party. Those "government contracts" go for much more than $1 million.
You're right. 1984 has nothing to do with increased government surveillance. Nor does it have anything to do with keeping the people in a state of terror allows the government to steal our liberties. Nor does 1984 have anything to do with the government rewriting history. Finally, 1984 has nothing to do with the world being in a constant state of war to assist in keeping the population in fear.
The problem with this is that the general American public will never hear of the evils of the DMCA, as the media (whether it be liberal or "fair and balanced" conservative) has an interest stake in not providing the truth. Furthermore, most people do not understand, nor care to learn about, how the DMCA strips individuals of their rights.
At my county political convention, I attempted to insert a plank into the platform denouncing the DMCA (and the Mickey Mouse copyright laws). It got struck down because people do not understand what copyright is about, and how indefinite copyrights are bad for us.
I heard a story on NPR about this last night. They said that.5% of the world population is descended from Gehngis Kahn. They will have 10 people tested, 5 at each restaurant. They also said the royal family is already known to be descendants of Khan.
Of course floppies were allowed. With the failure rate of a floppy, you _thought_ you were escaping with the vital cookie recipe, but you really escaping with yet another piece of shit floppy.
It was the perfect corporate policy... Allow the user to think that they are getting away with something, so they don't actually try to circumvent the system.
Let's replace your paragraph with a mad lib, using the most reasonable answer to your multiple choice question...
Let's get this straight people - Puppies are not the devil. They are a technology with the potential to be VERY useful. Do we really have to see EVERY story about EVERY use of puppies in the world? Why don't you guys hold off until someone, somewhere actually does something Orwellian with the technology before you spurt the hackneyed, luddite, anti-puppy propaganda?
Oh and just because you disagree doesn't mean I'm trolling. Fuck, that concept is tired too. Where's my coffee?
-- I'm not sure if I have a point in that little exercise, but wasn't it fun anyway? Nice puppies!
Apple could have put in several high speed, inefficient fans. Probably for considerably less than developing a liquid cooling system. However, these fans would have been incredibly noisier, and they know that we, the buying public, expect our Apple computers to be as damn near silent as possible.
Dude, your complaint to this is because you would rather have the computer company make a noisy computer, which you can spend extra in time and money to make quiet.
Apple is not putting this stuff in because the _have_ to. They could pump as much air as it takes through that case.
They do this because they know that this will result in a quieter case.
I would suspect that this is an artist's simplification. My guess is that the actual pipes either are independent of each other, or merge into one exhaust pipe, but the intakes are separate. Of course, not having one to disassemble makes this a complete speculation.
Look at the other artist renditions? Do you really think that the bus architecture looks exactly like that?
Just to let you know, you can upgrade this in the build to order options.
Think of it this way, the target market (A graphics professional- Photoshop, Quark, Illustrator, InDesign) has no need for 3D acceleration. The NVidea card in the G5s have plenty enough power for Quartz Extreme, so they put them in.
Now, if you are someone who would use a higher end graphics card, by all means- switch it out in the BTO.
I do wish they would include the bluetooth module in all machines.
The problem with that is that I doubt that TV without the FCC would change much. Networks have a finger on the pulse of what people want to see. There was going to be a breast shown on ER soon after the SuperBowl(TM) (a bare breast in an emergency room, the horror!), but it was pulled by the network as inappropriate. While I don't particularly like the fact that the network censored that incident, it does provide a good example of the market regulating their own content.
Actually, I remember a NPR interview with one of the people responsible for putting words in the OED. If I recall, he said that the OED should be considered a catalog of english words in the particular slice of time that the book was published.
He then went on to talk about how words are added all the time. If I recall, a word has to be used somewhere between three and seven times in published works, with a consistent definition, to be added to the OED. And he defined published works very loosely.
I fully expect an entry for negritude ultramarine in the next OED.
If you are serious, you don't understand the intent of our system of government. Of course, neither do any of the politicians in office today.
I am not voting for you so that you can take a poll and see what the majority want and vote accordingly. If that were the case, we should go to a full democracy and get rid of the bureaucracy in the middle.
I am voting for you because I feel you are the best candidate to make the best decisions for your constituents, despite their feelings. If politicians did their job better, instead of listening to polls and lobbyists, we would be in much better shape than we are today.
I remember when 200Mhz seemed like enough. As a consumer, I didn't think I would ever need more. And then I got into video editing.
The moral of the story is: you never know how you are going to use the power. You don't know how facial recognition that shuts down the computer when you are "too angry to be productive", a networked AI that files your porn with your wife's resume, and your antivirus software that updates itself every tenth of a second will eat at your CPU cycles.

In fact, they already have the marketing for the QS...
(Picture of the QS with the faces of four television stars, one on each screen)

Q stands for quad, dumbass.
Write in "No Vote" when you vote.

They'll probably go with a year versioning system, much like their other products.

It sounds more advanced than PS3.

Cooling efficiency results in noise reduction.
Noise = inefficiency.

Neon lights, and cutting out the Apple and putting a window in.
Yeah, neon lights make your computer go 20% faster.

But that still does not block Janet Jackson's breast from corrupting our thoughts as it passes through our brains in the form of radio waves.
why not go one step further, get rid of the caps lock key completely and lock the caps if both shifts are pressed.
Sorry. I shall flog myself with a beowulf cluster of Natalie Portmans.
