The biggest flaw with D&D 3.5 is the fact that it still requires people to use obscure polyhedral dice. How many times have you rolled a d12 in a game? I'm surprised that the folks working on D&D didn't take stock of what kind of dice get rolled most frequently and migrate the system to using one kind of die like other gaming systems.
One can already download today's show in mp3 format, with or without commercials, and I don't think that's going to stop after he jumps ship to Sirius radio. Maybe it'll turn Stern into the next Lars Ulrich, perhaps it'll stay below his radar.
If Longhorn is going to be a copy of OSX then won't it be a BSD clone with a pretty interface? The options would be reduced to Linux and a variant of BSD.
The only reason why a balloon goes bang when you pop it with a pin is because the rubber rips and the air is violently released. If you put a piece of scotch tape over an inflated balloon and insert a pin you'll see that the balloon didn't pop but there's a hole. The tape reinforced the balloon and kept the rubber from tearing apart. These inflatable habitats would simply leak air. There wouldn't be any Hollywood gratifying explosions.
If you go to almost any MOO you can find a game of Scrabble along with many people who are up for a game. Plus LambdaMOO has Boggle which is a fine game in its own right. Just @go #6299 for Boggle or create a kid of #42261 for Scrabble.
Dark City has to be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I don't care if Proyas had a vision and I missed out on the subtler aspects of the plot but this movie was horrible. It seemed like someone was trying to mix White Wolf with Philip K. Dick because it seemed cool, not because there was a story to be told. The only nice thing I can say about the movie was the set designs were pretty.
Aliens terraforming the Earth? Whoops, they're too late becaus the Earth is already as earthlike as it is going to get! Perhaps the term you were looking for is xenoformation.
They should use a cryobot to explore those Antarctic lakes. Scientists just need to ensure the cryobot is entirely free of contaminants which could upset the unknown ecosystem.
There's plenty of atmosphere on Mars. Just because it averages about 6mbar compared to 1bar on Earth doesn't mean there isn't enough. What do you think perpetuates those enormous dust storms way over there? Kittens?

It would be better though if it filtered out duplicate articles
So would Slashdot.
Apparently you have never heard of usenet. There are two groups I'm certain will remain active after January 2, 2006.

When you're truly desperate, nobody is ugly.
Don't you mean Green Arrow? So many verdant superheroes nowadays.
But will the download be invite only?
Actually that would be dyscalculia not dyslexia.
Thanks for playing.

No, you should answer it nuq'neH
Larry Niven thought up a concept like this in his book "The Integral Trees".
Bamboo is a grass not a wood.
Cite. Cite. Cite.
Do you mean this guy? Heck, he was even on Slashdot. Twice!.
Most oil comes from ancient vegetable matter, like plankton, not animal matter. Cite.

Now I can get 23 more megabytes of penis enlargement, Paris Hilton and weight loss in 30 days messages and I'll still be over quota!
Haven't you read any Vernor Vinge? Pioneer was simply reaching the edge of the slow zone and will soon achieve sentiency.
But she's a nigger with a capital N.
Fuck her, if she didn't suck of GWB in 1971 she'd be a Mississippi windchime.

Io?
It's highly unlikely that there's any life on Io. It appears to be too extreme for extremophiles. Perhaps you are thinking of Europa. Europa's the icy moon. Io's the volcanic one covered in sulfur.
E.G. Any at all
