Psht, why does alien life have to have the same chirality as Earthly life? NASA or any other space agency could just redo the old Viking experiment. This was covered recently on Slashdot. A little more can be found here.
Completely the opposite story in Colorado Springs. A video rental / record store called Toons watched as a small Blockbuster video was opened a block away from them. A few years later, the Blockbuster went out of business and now it's a credit union. Why? People patronized a locally owned store with decent prices and available selection instead of Blockbuster. Vote with your wallets.
Software from different suppliers brings up to some peculiar bugs, such as a heater turning itself on during a hot summer day.
Never say the heater turned itself on. Say a heater activated itself and created a situation requiring a reboot of the car's system.

I hope you know that's just rubbish. Douglas Adams posted to USENET:
"The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, an ordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations, base thirteen, Tibetan monks are all complete nonsense. I sat at my desk, stared into the garden and thought '42 will do' I typed it out. End of story."
Of course there isn't any money. How else is NASA going to develop the James Webb Telescope? The Hubble's expected to last until 2009 and there would only be a two year gap between its failure, de-orbiting or return to earth on a shuttle. I'm sure Astronomy Picture of the Day will do fine in those intervening years.
It appears that every single article submitted to Slashdot by Roland Piquepaille is accepted, and he submits multiple articles each month. As of today, it is clear that ten articles were accepted in October, six in November, and four in December (so far). See http://slashdot.org/~rpiquepa for yourself. Some generate lots of discussion; others very little. What is clear is that, on a whole, this generates a lot of traffic for Roland Piquepaille.
You must be new here. Since when do Slashdotters read the articles???
An image of chicken little crying about how the sky is fallilng to get eyes on their osdn ads. Seriously, articles about how there might be an astroid with our number or that a piece of the Canary Islands might fall into the ocean creating a tsunami mere days after the disaster in southeast Asia is not journalism. Since I'm not new here, I know that Slashdot is about journalism. It's about end-of-the-world histrionics with the much-abused torino scale, how Microsoft will 0wn us all without the savior of teh Lunix, articles which are really product placement and sometimes a rare submission which really is "stuff that matters". Next on Slashdot: reports a company is selling blueprints to build a dirty bomb! Cheap!
How could biodiesel be a renewable, sustainable source of energy? Ethanol is not sustainable, what would make biodiesel stand out? "Ethanol does not provide energy security for the future. It is not a renewable energy source, is costly in terms of production and subsidies, and its production causes serious environmental degradation." According to one study, To fuel one car with ethanol for one year means that nearly 7-times more cropland would be required to fuel one car than is needed to feed one American (USDA, 1996)" At best these are stop-gap measures meant to be used in the niches of transportation.
According to this article LEDs are being used for their buggies. The allure seems to be the relative safety compared to hot halogens and being energy efficient.

There's a great way to enforce a cease-and-desist order. Slashdot the site.

Pish posh, The O.C. wasn't on TV until 2003!

Solve the problem of bone rot and muscular atrophy then work on creating vehicles to move people to LaGrange points or beyond.

You know it'd help if you used the correct spelling for grammar.
It's hard to take anything this site says about MS seriously.
Deep breath.

There's a word for your reprehensible behavior.

You got that right because nobody reads TFM in the first place. People need someone to read it for them.
I thought it was all CDs nowadays, not records.

As others have said, hydrogen is not an energy source, it was never intended to be.
Tell that to the rest of the universe! Stupid, wasteful fusion-powered stars.

Just wait for first contact with an alien race. It'll be funny to see them question if we have souls as much as we question if they have souls.
And you can blame Slashdot for being as bad as other journalists mentioned in this story for troll comments in the blurb like "Oh come on, what is there to worry about? " I'm sure other, respectable media outlets will jump on the chicken little bandwagon and maintain the status quo.
If you think Halo's boring with poor controls, perhaps Lego Halo is more your speed.

Well since the ad in the NYT is only going to cost 50k, they should use the surplus to get an ad in the WSJ and USA Today.
NASA not Nasa. It's an acronym which stands for "National Aeronautics and Space Administration".
