I'd link you guys to the Wikipedia article so you can read up on the subject but it looks like the site's down for some reason. I guess they didn't meet their fundraising goals or something. Quite a shame really.
I wonder what they'll do for say, home schooled kids, or kids who happen to have parents of relatives who are teachers? I know that most kids aren't super thrilled about having to friend their parents, but will they make it actually illegal in those cases?
Well Anonymous Coward, I apologize for not seeing your comment before answering a nearly identical one below yours, so let me just copy paste my response to theirs since it merits the same exact response:
I was going for just a general search of "TF2 wiki", my bad for implying the search was for the official one. Look up that one and see what I mean. Look, I'll even give you the url for that very search: http://www.google.com/search?q=tf2+wiki
As for the windows phone remarks, I say with confidence that I don't like either the iOS or Android interfaces, and the Metro interface is a very attractive design alternative to me. The UI is intuitive, and the keyboard works great with my enormous, manly hands. It does exactly what I want it to, with no extra crap and clutter. I waited until the full NoDo update to pick it up, so I didn't even have to "suffer" through the travesty of not having copy+paste. To me, a smartphone is a smartphone, they all do the same basic functions at this point. The only distinctions are the trappings, and my history with the two main schools of thought leave a bad taste in my mouth. Why should I care the masses want me to buy one phone over the other when I know exactly what I want?

As far as I'm concerned, Bing works just fine on my WP7, is actually just slightly better at getting me relevant results that I've happened to want while I was on the road away from my desktop, and looks marvelous either way. I'm happy with it.
Incidentally, a search for the Team Fortress 2 official wiki on Bing brings you just that as its first result, whereas on Google you get an old, defunct fake version of the real thing, which I suspect stays at the #1 spot due to SEO abuse. Just throwing that out there.
I'm sorry, but that's just not how it works. The Bible isn't just a single body of work, it's a collection of history and laws spread out across thousands of years, detailing God's word, etc. Things change over time. Prophecies are fulfilled, promises are met.
Look at it this way: when the God of the Universe himself comes down and says "Hey, all that stuff I told you before has been taken care of. now all I want you to do is to love Me and each other, and to spread the word." that tends to change one's outlook. The Old Testament, as it stands, is now a history book that we can learn from, not a body of law that we are to strictly follow. It still reflects the Word of God, and is thus still applicable for teaching and insight, but it's not like Christians are being told not to eat pork, or not leave their houses on the Sabbath, or go to war with the Canadians because that land was promised as an inheritance at some point in the past.
Love God, love everyone else too. That's what it boils down to.
Now let's go back to being mutually happy that we're allowed to play and buy video games where we shoot up aliens, okay?;)
Reply: of course we should trust Amazon. Why would we organic lifeforms have reason to doubt the perfect logic of such an infallible organization such as Amazon dot com?
Sort of. It was pretty bulletproof, but only for lower calibers. When they literally brought out the big guns they made holes left and right. I'll always remember that episode if only for the awkward looks they were all giving each other as they were looking at their hole-ridden safety shields!
To be honest, I'm not really sure what any of this article said, because I was too busy being mesmerized by the blinky lights on the Firefox download stats page.

Ron Paul.
People get on his case for a lot of things, but hypocrisy sure isn't one of them.
Wait, this is news? We used to send two cleverbots against each other when we were bored in class.
"It's the CIRRRRCLE of strife!"
Why is it that I have the feeling I'm not picturing this right when I imagine UAVs just flying overhead, shooting loaded syringes at priority targets?
Shotgun! I called it! Mwahahaha!
Watch out for monkeys throwing pins, those guys will RUIN your day.

In short, I love my phone, so deal with it.
Yeah the mobile side I think is strangely better than the desktop version. It's hard to put my finger on it, but it just seems to work better.

Or, you can just bury all your media in an old shoebox in your backyard for free!
After reading report, Taco Bell officials claim to be "unimpressed" with this discovery.
Oh, so roughly the same size as a Minecraft world then.
I was hoping that Google Takeout would let me easily eat Chinese food for lunch today =\

I misread the article title as "Human Atrocities Developed From Stem Cells".

I am glad that we have gotten that straightened out, fellow human slashdot users!

So, is it going to be made out of 18 layers of pizza, or 6 layers of phone books?
Lets just use facebook connect and call it a day!
Really, yours required an OS reboot? I installed on four different computers yesterday and didn't require a single reboot on any of them...
