I'm sorry, but I just have to disagree with that. They cater to a marketplace filled with lazy parents that have no idea - or frankly just don't care - about the long-term health risks this particular kind of food can have on their children. It's the same with drugs (in my opinion). If there was no demand for drugs, we would have no drug dealers. I think the only thing there is no demand for which we have in abundance is... taxes.
Gut an old mouse and glue the components to the bottom of your keyboard. Make a little hole in the top of the keyboard for the scroll wheel. Put little non-sticky pads on each corner of the keyboard, and voila!! All the buttons you could possibly want on your brand new SUPER MOUSE OF DOOM!
The only kids that will get fat from happy meals are the ones which are taken to McD by their parents. How does taking away the toy help? "No sweety, they don't have the meal with the toys anymore, but you can have the big McTasty instead"...
Educate the parents, for f***s sake. McD only delivers because there is a demand. Get rid of the demand, problem solved.
I'm very disappointed with this story. I was just about to go out and buy a Wii and dust off the magical-moonshine-machine in the basement.... but this has NOTHING to do with brewing alcoholic beverages in the comfort of your home:(
On this particular machine I don't really have an option. The only "upgrade" option for XP available to me is to remove it from the system and go over to 100% Linux. My hardware doesn't deal well with Vista/Win7, and Microsoft doesn't want to give me an usable alternative. So XP/Linux dualboot will be staying intact for at least a couple more years.
How in hell can the average be 51? How many of these people suffer from depression and stomach ulcers? Let it go. You can't save or care about everyone.
Yes, online porn is clearly the biggest problem in South Africa. I hear it kills a lot of people down there and steals their cars at unwatched intersections...
That's one movie I'm not going to see. It must be absolutely, mind-blowingly horrible, since it apparently has gotten so little money in - in theaters and DVD sales - that the company has to sue 5000 filesharers, just in order to pay the cast and other people involved in the movie. I mean... wow... that movie has to blow, big time. Can anyone confirm that this movie is that bad? Come on, some of you have to have downloaded it, right?

Ouch Germany! This is because of those Nazi jokes I told, isn't it? They were all said in a friendly, ice-breaking manner. I didn't mean to offend. You don't have to get all pissy about it...:(
Well, if I ever go to Australia, I'll have to remember downloading 1000+ pictures from icanhascheezburger.com, answer "yes" on the pornography question and claim to have a huge furry fetish. I would probably get fined, but it would totally be worth it:D
I get it a lot that the bright light stresses my eyes so much that I have no problem sinking into a deep and comfy sleep. However, I don't have many lamps in the apartment, so I dim the screen several times before bedtime, while my eyes adjust to the darkness, so that could have something to do with it.
Well, I was running a half functioning beta. I don't really see much point in beta-testing a distro its future is uncertain. Thanks for your concern though.
Ok, lets talk gaming industry here. 10% less piracy does not equal 10% more revenue. 10% less piracy equals 10% less players of the games.
I think the software companies are making more than enough money. More money for them will not provide more jobs, it will only provide more money for the deep pockets at the top. And that is what this is really about. It's all about more $$$ for the few.

Does this count as the record for "longest continuous fail"? Or was that the Bush administration?

If I were to drink this, I would look like Casper the friendly ghost... how about a tanning v

I read "Slashdot doesn't support UNICORN" the first time. I was outraged and almost blocked Slashdot!
Shouldn't they be blocking Google as well? I mean... 1.990.000 results on Google Images. Isn't that like mass blasphemy or something?

I guess I should go shop for a new distro then... just to be on the safe side.
