Which are overall reasonable plans on capacity and speed, terrible on price, but well, that's the price we pay for living in a large country slightly larger than the US but with the population of california.
California has about 5 million more people than Canada; it's so large that it would count as a medium-sized European country (with a very strong economy too).
And it's government is just as broke as a lot of medium sized European countries too.
Why pre-announce something that is far from being ready to ship? All that would do is steal sales and thunder away from your existing product. The only reason to announce a new console early is if a competitor is getting ready to release something significant enough to affect your market share. Seems like this is just an excuse for a fluff article.
Glancing at a screen from time to time, while listening to the audio directions is really not much of a distraction. I am stuck delivering pizza at the moment...

He is talking about Pascal's Wager as applied to climatology. Someone more versed in philosophy than I could tell us if Pascal was being facetious (Well, the classical philosophers were mostly insane, so maybe Pascal was serious about this as well.) However I think the GP actually is serious on this.
The problem with this argument (as well as Pascal's), is that there are more than 2 options. It is not "God exists" or "God doesn't exist". it is "Which of the dozens of major religions is correct." In which case the wager fails, and you might as well believe what you feel is true rather than cower before one of the invisible men in the sky.
The same is true for climate change. Which mechanism is causing the change? Before we try to fix things on a grand scale and run the risk of choosing wrongly, lets figure out what is actually going on with the climate first.
Using neutrinos is positively slow compared to quantum entanglement communication. This would eliminate latency completely and allow the masters of the universe to do their trades even faster than OPERA thought their neutrinos were going..
Yeah, but it has the advantage of actually being possible.

I think you can pretty much extend that to "a ____ lawyer has lobbied for more complicated ____ laws to increase the number of people hiring ____ lawyers" and still have a factual statement.

The truth of the matter is that he started writing 9 minutes after the post that he is complaining about, and had to wait 2 minutes submit.
In the moderators defense, I have often read through a thread, and got the posts ready for moderating, before clicking on submit. The idea is that I want to upmod a whole bunch at the same time, instead of clicking a whole bunch and waiting for Slashdot to load pages.
Although with the javascripty version of the site the moderations take affect right away with no need to click a submit button.
James comes to us most recently from Microsoft. He has spent his career focusing on testing, building high quality products, and designing tools and process at the industrial scale.
Was he in charge of testing Vista?
So, why do we care what the QA Manager thinks about this? You don't often see a lot of innovation coming out of QA, but you see a lot of vague bitching about it with no offer of a solution.
Well if you are low on gravity, no problem, just add more honey. If you are high... well you can add steralized water before you pitch. At least to an extent depending on how big your equipment is. (I primary 5 gallon batches in 6.5/7 gallon carbouys. Mostly for the anti-spillover features, however.) Personally I would be considering being too high on gravity a good thing.:)
I do a lot of mead and the occasional cider, but I have found cider to be much more difficult to get consistency. I created a cyzer by adding a bunch of honey to a finished cider that was too dry and too sour to drink, then re-pitching yeast. It turned out wonderful, however it also turned out hard to replicate.
The GP, however, appears to like fermenting a bit on the wild side and letting some of those natural yeasts and bacteria compete with the yeast he's throwing into the must... different strokes for different folks.
Really it creates new caramelized flavors and colors. (Some may consider this damage.) Which some brewers like myself desire. The amount depends on the batch I am doing, some get more caramel than others. I would suggest not bringing a mead must to a full boil, that will start to break down the sugars. (I am not sure what the affects of this are. I have wanted to do a test batch with lightly heated vs boiled the crap out of it; to see the difference.)
However I agree with the wild aspect to uncooked. Also some people desire the very light color of uncooked meads.
Funny thing is, I wouldn't have found GP's post if you don't bump. (When writing this he has score 0 and you have 5.) Thanks God for inline comments and bump.
I was going for irony on the bump comment. Though, I would like to think I am breaking new ground bump posts being rated higher than their parents.
Many don’t have threaded replies, a simple feature that makes any comment section _way_ more useful in my opinion. You can’t really have much of a discussion if replies can’t easily be tied to each.
Do you have any idea how bitterly the threaded comment war was fought? There are people who insist, violently, on the chronological ordering of posts.
They are probably the same people who hold repetitive flamewars amongst themselves over top-posting versus bottom-posting or inline responses.

This encourages people to post pointless posts like "bump" to try and keep their thread on top.

Same problem in SE Alaska (which looks suspiciously like Norway).
Obviously both were done by Slartibartfast.
Everybody looks down on someone. I try to be egalitarian and look down on all of you equally.
I only look down on people that look down on others.
(Note: I look down on myself as well due to this rule.)

_Only_ a terabyte of storage?
Since when is that a little amount of storage?
When you ask $2500 for the computer. For that price you should get a computer with 1TB of SSD.
... if the government (or a private firm working for the government) does it.
Please remember this the next time a cop kicks you in the face.

Ok, take tepples away... there is no hope for him.
Unfortunately most of slashdot is still 16.
And therefore immortal.

Well if this is the case, you should be more worried about X-Ray backscatter scanning your balls.

Heating honey damages its flavor

That's a regular expression (regexp) denoting a one to four character long string ending in a period. I'm in favour of regexps.
No it isnt.
