It is a consequence of neutrinos going faster than light- all the laws of the universe are now backwards. And yes, Pie is now 14.3... or as an estimation 7 divided by 22.
Whether or not this is justified probably depends on what he was doing.
One small company I used to work for had one annoying prat. who used to constantly send e-mails to the entire company promoting creationism... it was one mass-forward after another from some religious site he belong to. Stating how if you're a real Xian you wouldn't associate with non-Xians because they may make you doubt your faith... etc... How evolution is the devils idea, etc.
You know the usual "We Xians are better than everyone else" dribble.
That, to me was obnoxious. It didn't offend me- but it peeved me. Ironically, it was my religious co-workers who were the ones offended by what he kept sending out.
Eventually, HR blocked the ability to send mass-emails to the whole company to shut him up. Anywhere other than South Carolina he would probably have got in trouble for sending out his hate-propoganda.
Talk about CNN. CNN is the WORST comment section there is. Full of blatant racist, xenophobic and hatefull comments. Slashdot has anonymous cowards but I find the comments to be mixed bag.
Typically the smaller the number of commentors on a site the more quality the dialogue. The more people you add the worse it gets.
Slashdot for it's size does phenomenally well to maintain law and order. Sure, it's not as good as some smaller sites for conversation- but to be as big as it is and to have some decent quality discussion is impressive. I find lots of +1 worthy stuff on slashdot.

Sabu's life isn't ruined. Looks like he will just about "get-away" with his involvement because he gave leads to catch the others.
Most likely once the others have been to trial the FBI, at tax-payer expense will give him a new name- in a new city, a large pay-cheque- and have him do work for them.
Far from being ruined. Sabu's life has probably been made.
Or rather- not that is is a placebo of asprin- but they're testing a cure using asprin. LOL
And only if you have to tell them anything. If they didn't know the other half were getting LSD- they wouldn't know they had a placebo or what the "mystery" cure was.
Interesting concept... could never happen for legal reasons... but I'd be intrigued if people could "cut n' paste" scenes from OTHER films into a meaningfull order to make it look like another star wars film.
For example- Take Ford from the Tom Clancy Films- and Indiana Jones; cut and paste them together- with a few special affects and make it look like episode 7.
C3P0 could be in episode 7- just rip scenes of Rex from "Yo Gabba Gabba". Mark Hamil has been in so many block buster films since Star Wars- should be easy to get footage of him to use.
You wouldn't TELL the people receiving the placebo that the other half were receiving LSD. They wouldn't know they were receiving a placebo because they wouldn't know what the drug "curing" them was supposed to be.
Not many... they tend not to make tyres big enough for carriages- they get stuck at four-way stops for eternity.
Yeah, I think all cars being driverless will be a big improvement. Maybe I will see it in my lifetime.
It may be a while before ALLLLL cars are computer driven, but even before then- certain down-town areas of cities could be zoned "Driverless only" makes more sense in a city to have driverless cars so you can pack more in- have them navigate more efficiently. Have them talk to each other. I'm sure traffic could be made a lot more efficient in congested areas if it were controlled by computer.
If there is a zero percent chance of war, the clock hand is at 20 minutes to midnight
We're basically rigging the system to LOOK like war is inevitable no matter what we do. This sounds like a PR event to get people READY for war more than give a realistic assessment.
People will see "20-minutes to midnight" and think OMFG!@!@!@!@!11111@@@@@ (internet has changed how people thing)
If you're used to seeing we're only 20 minutes from war- when war comes it is just because it is a foregone conclusion. No reason to complain to the government... we've been this close all along!
Using the same scale we're currently at 20 minutes to midnight before Obama personally castrates all men in West Virginia using a switch blade knife... only 20 minutes from midnight folks... it's inevitable- don't fight it.
Sometimes road rage is necessary. There is no other way to proceed at a busy four-way stop in South Carolina.
See, in South Carolina- four way stops arn't what they are in the rest of the US.
Rules here are. Stop. If there are any other cars nearby- the most aggressive driver proceeds next. Doesn't matter who stopped first- it's the most aggressive driver- (or the driver with biggest silly-wheels on their pick-up) that gets to go first.
There are exceptions... sometimes a pick-up truck with just moderately big silly-wheels will trump a pick-up with 6ft wheels... but only if it is a police pick-up.
If the driverless car had no road-rage he'd be stuck at the four-way stop for eternity.

I'm trying to imagine Pi Carols...
Oh Pie Tree, Oh Pie Tree,
How lovely is your crust baked...
Rudolf the red cherry piedeer
We three fillings, of orient are,
figs, plums, kiwis stored in a jar
Timer Bells, Timer Bells
Time to open the oven
What, pi is 14.3? When did that happen?

I heard Anonymous Coward is both male and female at the same time.
The internet is too complex to be made by man alone.
For an ordinary man perhaps... but nothing is too complex for Dan Quayle.

Wearing one of those shirts has to be a real chick-magnet.

Do you take bitcoins?
Comments mentioning Fire-breathing Chicken of doom usually don't get any kind of moderation.
I am atheist. Neither Microsoft, Apple or Google (or the Penguin) are to be worshipped.
Turn to your inner self for guidance- not one of the illuminati's corporate tools for global domination. (and not the fun kind of domination either)

When are you dead?
- easy, the moment you take your first IT job.
Is it bad of me that I didn't know the country HAD a CTO? Do we have a CEO, COO, and chairman of the board too?
I think we should work on a hostile take-over of Iraq... no wait, maybe we already did that.
Yes... but I can't tell you because if I do they'll be aware it hasn't been added yet and they'll add it.
Or rather- not that is is a placebo of asprin- but they're testing a cure using asprin. LOL

Don't tell them it's a placebo of LSD. Tell them it is a placebo of asprin.
Sure you can... ... although admittedly Episode 4 would be a little strange without the Luke character appearing in it at all.

You wouldn't have to.

On a scale where 10 inches means 0 inches and 100 inches means 12 inches- I have a 12inch long um. banana.
This was my first thought too!
