Sounds like you're in a good position to negotiate some new benefits. If your current employer won't pay you any more, how about a few more weeks of holiday? How about a 60% work-from-home policy? Think creatively, if you want to stay. A few tips:
1. Be prepared to walk.
2. Keep things civil.
3. Don't mention any specifics - say "I have an offer from another company that will pay me significantly more than I make here. What can you offer me to stay?" and work from there. If your current boss asks how much the pay raise would be if you left, say "enough to make me seriously consider their offer".
4. Ask for more than you really want.
5. Let the other guy talk himself up to your level, never talk yourself down to his.
#hashtag search, at your service. You're welcome. Now we've successfully shown hashtags can be and indeed ARE used on slashdot, by your logic, slashdot IS now twitter.
Thanks for the clarification. One thing stands out, though - nuclear fuel is mined also, right? One would expect similar (or perhaps higher) death rates to coal. Unless there's something fundamentally less safe about mining coal vs. uranium.
The great thing with that line of thinking is that there exists only a single "copy" - since all the copied copies are identical, there is no way to prove which is the original. So yes, in essence the sharers *are* sharing a single copy (even though there may exist multiple instances of that copy!)
Nice numbers, but you're only providing part of the information. What is the time scale of those figures? E.g. if 160 people died per TWH of coal in the early days of coal-as-fuel, simply because the technology was poorly understood and safety of minor importance, that will affect the deaths-by-coal rate adversely. Similarly, nuclear, wind, and hydro power have been around only much more recently, at a time when safety concerns were of higher priority (and safety technology at a correspondingly higher level).
IOW, safety standards on coal-derived energy production have been tightened up greatly over the lifetime of said production, but coal is still paying off that early debt. Nuclear has no such early debt, but that does not necessarily make it a safer technology.
Note this is in no way intended to undermine your point, but I think you do need to provide some clarification.
Capitalism is not evil, free reign capitalism is. The late Pope John Paul II understood this very well and tried for many years to bring to the attention of the masses this truth.
To repeat a tired old meme: citation *definitely* needed.
So deadly "inflicts lethal wounds" but is not lethal. I see. To be honest though I'm not sure the victim would appreciate such a subtle and finely-crafted hair-splitting distinction.
Then you are misunderstanding. The original concept was that an _infinite_ number of monkeys, given _infinite_ time, WILL eventually produce the entire works of WS.
That said, what this guy did is not unreasonably cool, even while missing the mark.
Magic Carpet was fantastic! Thanks for that jolt of nostalgia! Now toying with the idea of a tablet version of MC, using the accelerometer to control the player..
And you're right about C&C too - a modern port of any of the first 3 in the series would have my attention. Oh, and all the ol' Peter Molyneux games..

so that the rich don't have to do a damned thing.
What are they doing now? For the past 200 years?

Bandwagon, perhaps, but shark? /. jumped that several years ago.

Happy?
You seem like a smart guy. Imagine the satisfaction that will come from figuring out the answer on your own!
Doing X in a place where it is not used is in fact using X. Ipso facto, hashtags ARE now used in slashdot. Adapt or die.

By using slashdot you are supporting it.
Show the class where the OP claimed that "the number of Jews killed was exaggerated" was made by the Jews, or that the OP denies the holocaust.

+1 million internets for the Red Dwarf reference!
Sure, but that was a replicant snake, not a "natural" one.

This.
What's the difference between lethal and deadly?

Because USA!! USA!! USA!! That's why.

Why should you think your purchasing criteria apply to anyone else?

telnet router.home.net 80 # No http needed (bonus points for using netcat)
for a slightly more friendly experience:
lynx router.home.net
links router.home.net
or one of the other fine command-line HTTP clients.
Or pkill -9 bluefish
Option 3: All current TMO customer purchase enough shares (collectively) to block any such buy-out.
