Well, this is rare. Even on slashdot. I make a joke about a beef story, and I get a poorly informed reply. I know you will probably never see this, but in case you do, let me take this rare opportunity to "QUOTE THE BIBLE" in my reply. It is my first time, so be gentle.
First off, lets start with what you said: Doing something just because an old book told you to is bad enough. Now you are saying it's okay to do something because an old book didn't say not to?
Sweet. However, the Lord did specifically say we could munch on cows.
Let me quote from the third book of the bible. Leviticus, chapter 11, verse 1-13:
11:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
11:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
11:3 Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
11:4 Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:5 And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:6 And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
11:7 And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
11:8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
11:9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
11:10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11:11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
11:12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
11:13 And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray
I am stunned that I just quoted the bible to make an argument on slashdot. What has the world come to?
"Personally I'd love to see us progress to the point where it was possible to grow just the meat"
Dude. your personal issues do not belong on/.
That would end all the ethical issues with raising an animal for food
There is an ethical issue? Get real you pansy and eat some steaks. Even the bible says we can eat them (as long as they are uncleaven of hoof). If God didn't have a problem with it, I should?
Thank God that it is a law of nature we are questioning to gain more understanding of the universe, because if it was questioning God, we would not be allowed to change our minds as we understood more.
"I worry that kids who grow up without knowing their constitutional rights will not ever learn to exercise them later in their lives."
Bzzzzz. Too late. They gave it all up when their parents signed them up in a "lost child" database, along with a DNA sample. If those kids ever commit a crime, they are already in there, and will just be bagged. No investigation needed. Isn't a police state great?
How is this worse than having shows that start 1 or two minutes early or late? This totally messed up shows I watched on my Tivo for a while. I came up with the solution that if it starts at an off time (to prevent me from watching a show on another network), I won't record it. Netowrk executives: I KNOW YOU WERE DOING THAT TO PISS ME OFF, AND IT WORKED. I DON'T WATCH YOUR STUFF ANYMORE. THANKS.
In the 70s, I had thought the China Syndrome could really happen. Jack Lemmon spouting off that our nuclear power plant would melt through the earth into the Indian Ocean just does not cut it. I want my 4 bucks back. The Indian Ocean Syndrome. Bah.
PS: First person that corrects me by saying he corrected himself by saying it would only melt to the center gets a slap. It was the name of the freaking movie for fsck sake.
"for me [it] was one of the worst operating system experiences that I've ever encountered."
Which means you are a young pup. Coherrent on a 286? How about OS/2 on a Tandy 1000? DSM on an 11/44? Windows 1 (with the coolest font management that only took a week to get stuff working)? You do remember when the line printer would get stuck on the feeder and it would wear a line of text right through the paper, don't you?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I George W. Bush hearby affirm by oath that Slashdot user scorp1us(235526) probably did something bad, and should be searched and examined by all means available.
If it will make money like it is, ship it. If the problems will cost more than they make, delay. If it was promised to the market, ship it (limited release).
Managers make these calls, not geeks, and there is a reason for that.
Blockbuster was stupid. If they had done a land grab, and patented simply renting videos, they could have knocked off NetFlix with a suit. And if "Corner Video" in Framingham had done it, they could have knocked off Blockbuster. And if the TV repair shop in Westboro (the first place I rented a video) had patented it, the entire industry could have been stopped. So, if the MPAA had thought of it, one patent could have prevented home theatre. Ok, I got the way it works now. Patents are cool.
And yes, that TV repair shop in Westboro had both VHS and Betamax. Those were the days!
Since corporations generally lack human emotional response, I can only assume there is good strategety and/or profit motivation. Anyone care to speculate?
Now Sam Palmisano gets to sit in court, stare over at Darl, put his arm out with his fingers forming a pinch while looking at Darl through the arc, and squeeze while saying "I'm CRUSHING YOUR HEAD, I'm CRUSHING YOUR HEAD"!
Ok, I don't get it, so I will finally ask. What is with Google. You get 117 results, but I only get 92. Where are the rest, and why don't I get them? (yes, my prefs are any language, safe search off).
Since Hummer owners want to drive a military-style vehicle, I think we should give them the full experience: every hummer should come with an all-expenses paid 6-month stint as a chauffeur in Baghdad. Nothing shows one's masculinity and patriotism more than Supporting the Troops, right?
Sigh.... Anyone actually like to find the article. I found this which shows it's a year old. PS. Woot. My first dupe whine. http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/07/boil-an-egg-ins tead-of-your-brain-with-your-cellphones/
Umm, sorry Technoextreme, but we call it a dupe when it is on slashdot twice. Otherwise, you could say that you already saw this in the dictionary, and you just rearranged the words. This is not your first dupe when, it is your first whine as a dope.
I remember it clearly. It was the night before the disaster. She said she had something to teach me. She said her name was Christa, and that she was leaving on a secret mission the next day. I went for it, and we had a night of passion that I will always remember. It was not a myth. It was real. Wasn't it?
It is my believe, that most of the succesful people in the world have one thing in common; they dare to take big risks. This personality trade is also shared with most of the "losers" in the world.
And, it is my belief that another personality trait of successful people is good spelling.
Slashdot Mirror
So, between this dupe, the dupe editor, and 5 minutes, could I drive 1000 miles?
Really, do the editors even read Slashdot? You CAN read it at work you know. OSTG won't mind.
1. The check is in the mail
2. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you.
3. I won't cum in your mouth.
4. Linux is ready for the desktop.
#echo [0-100] > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
I hope this is not your example of how Linux is ready for the mainstream.

Actually, a question:
Editors: Do you read Slashdot?
Sure, its flamebait, but this is a joke sometimes.
This thread is old and boring now... I need a new, more interesting topic.
Will you settle for the same story being posted tomorrow?
Thank God that it is a law of nature we are questioning to gain more understanding of the universe, because if it was questioning God, we would not be allowed to change our minds as we understood more.

As a public service, links to three excellent, free, software based HDD wiping utilities. The first is even open source ...
Dude, they took the computer to Best Buy, for service. I think "utilities" might be out of their job classification as "Lusers".
