Duh. Microwaves are strictly for drying dogs. Everyone knows not to put metal in the microwave.
But make sure you take the collar and tags off before drying the dog!!!!! I forgot to do that before putting Scrapy in the microwave. It did not end well. My poor daughter cried for a week straight after this. I felt horrible. If only I had taken his collar off first, this tragedy could have been averted.
And yet this still makes the front page of Slashdot - with a spin-laden misleading title.
MojoKid - you are an ass, and so is the moderator.
What is misleading about the title? The investigation report stated: "The energy source responsible for generating the heat has been determined as external to the device". Looks to me like the title accurately describes what was reported.
I looked at this and thought "this has SlashBi written all over it". Turns out it's actually part of SlashCloud. I must have missed the memo. When did that show up? And are we we going to get more SlashBuzzwords?
Being faster? That's just cheating. On reading the headline, I thought they had developed an algorithm that predicted your next move, which would have been much more impressive. You DO get a ~40% improved chance of winning with this strategy:
When your opponent loses, his next move will be to beat whatever your move was on that round.
This obviously relies on playing multiple rounds in a row against the same person. I never play RPS, but isn't the point to play it once to make a one off decision about something? If so, your strategy is useless.
I have never once seen an ounce of hostility toward legal immigrants in my life.
I have, many times. And i would be surprised if you actually haven't. A lot of it takes the form of racism. I've heard people told "go back to ________". There are numerous immigrant small business owners who suffer abuse solely because they are (or are perceived to be) not native americans. The stereotype is Korean store owners in non Korean communities, who are purportedly prime targets, especially when things start to go bad.
I love that your entire post is nothing more than a restatement of a fact presented in the 1st line of the summary... and it got modded +5 informative. Nothing against you, I just think some mods have a pretty low standard of what's informative. I wonder if my "You are currently reading slashdot." post will get modded informative.
Somehow I managed to get a virus on my computer. I'd take it to the professionals, but recently they've all inexplicably committed suicide. I'm deeply depressed and all my possessions are broken because I've been throwing them against the wall. It's only a matter of time before I start abusing those around me. Can anyone help me please???
uhh, you do realize that unmanned generally means that it doesn't havel ife support systems. We can get shit to the space station; we demonstrated that with the dragon capsule. However, we still don't have a way to get a man in space.
We could cryogenically freeze the astronauts and send them up as popsicles. Then, once we invent equipment to defreeze them, we can send that up and thaw them out. Problem solved. With enough creativity, nearly anything is possible.
Don't waste your money on online degrees. I'll sell you a legitamate, non-online* degree for the bargain basement price of $39.99. That's less that $40! You won't find a better deal anywhere.
You wanna be a minister too? I'll throw in a Ph. P (preacher of philosophy) for only $9.99 more. What a deal!!!
* allow 6-8 weeks for your degree to arrive in the mail.
Sure you can get IP addresses, trace them back but anyone trolling professionally will do so in such a way that they'll be anonymous still. Internet cafes, 3G broadband, open wifi in the middle of times square.
It's not as if they're going to be able to use the intertubes to locate which Starbucks you're in instantly and send in the black helecopters so you are cut of mid sen
Damn. Those bastards. They got him before he even had a chance to check his post for spelling and grammar.
I haven't read the actual original paper because i'm guessing I don't have the appropriate background to understand it. But based on the summary, I'm curious... If there are changes with age, would these differences be passed on to offspring? I assume that some of these aging effects are similar from person to person, so if they are passed on, I imagine that would mean there are statistically significant differences in certain traits based on the age of the parents?
Is anyone more knowledgeable in the field able to comment?
You're posting links to videos (without including any description of what's in the video) in the comments to a child porn story???
As has been pointed out above, if one of them happens to be kiddie porn, everyone who clicks on it suddenly become a sex offender (at least in the US) through no fault of their own. Maybe that was your point, i don't know.
The Peace Prize is hit or miss. I just about gave up on it after they blew one on the worthless UN, but then they sucked me back in a little by giving it to Muhammad Yunus, someone who's actually praiseworthy. (Unlike Barack Obama, who's launched more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace Prize winners combined, although I realize that even among the committee that made the decision it was a controversial decision.)
Those were Cruise Missiles for Peace. So that's completely different. It's like that old saying goes, "you got to spend money to make money". In this case you've got to kill people to save people.
Hulu could stand to learn from this. In general their ads are just what they are, but they always have that "Is this ad relevant to you?" thing up in the corner. There's some ads that I dislike, so much, I actually take the effort to click no on. Surprisingly I then continue to see those ads over and over again. This generally just annoys me to the point where I would never, ever, purchase whatever product that is, or from whatever company is advertising.
Ironically the advertisers could get a much bigger bank for their buck by not wasting money showing a particular ad to people who have already said that the ad doesn't interest them.
They probably can't stop showing them because they don't want to pay licensing fees to whoever owns the patent for "method to stop showing ads that are irrelevant to the consumer".
Good thing I didn't get selected for a Nobel Prize this year. I think I'll wait til they raise the prize back up before unleashing my brilliance upon the world. I do feel sorry for those suckers winning one now. They're getting screwed over. Just another data point that shows hard work is never the fastest way to riches.
I almost wish you weren't kidding. There really would be a benefit of a general score of how valuable/useless certain people's comments are. Unfortunately to be most effective, this would require tracking people across sites.
I use a pair of scissors (or a utility knife in a pinch). The advantage is i can use them for other things and they don't require batteries. I hate those packages as much as the next person, but they really don't require a custom designed opening tool.
...especially if they solve them in less time than the duration of the audio. (Only half kidding: They solved millions of eight second long captchas in a second and a half each and Recaptcha didn't even blink.)
or maybe it did blink and that's what tipped off Google to change the system?
That's a pretty weak defense against a claim of cruelty. A human analogue: Suppose you need a bunch of healthy teeth for an experiment. Find a child and yank out a few teeth - they'll grow new ones eventually. Shoot them up full of Novocaine first and they won't even feel it. I assume no one thinks that's acceptable?
If you're ok with the process because it's only a cockroach, just admit that. Don't try to use some false justification to convince yourself that you were humane about cutting it's leg off.

Squiggly lines under misspelled words for one.
Was that Microsoft? That was a good idea. Sure, not a 'revolutionize the field' idea, but an intuitive easy to use feature.

I use an alternate strategy, but it relies on my opponent not knowing that we are actually playing rock, paper, scissors, sucker-punch.

I love hater haters because i hate haters.
...and nothing else. She will either adapt or leave you.
Alternatively, there's a small chance she'll impale you with your own replica ba'tleth. Women are rather creative creatures that way.
If she does, you know you've got a keeper.
