then why am I allowed to watch it as many times as I want? It seems like being able to have unlimited free viewings of the movie would infringe on some sort of DRM protections. I'm surprised they are not arguing that I need to pay per viewing as if I kept going back to the theater. After all, those who own a DVD of a movie will not go back and buy more copies, thus taking business away from movie producers the MPAA studios honest hard-working people.
I thought this was hilarious until I went back to the summary and saw that CmdrTaco actually will be working at the "trendy"-named "WaPo" Labs.
...Now I'm a sad panda....
- a museum that claims dinosaurs and cavemen lived together on the newly created 5 thousand year old Earth.
As a resident Kentuckian, I am very ashamed to share a state with that museum. I sincerely apologize to the rest of the world, for that waste of space and funds.

This. If your e-reader goes bad 10-20 years down the road, you lose all your books. The only way I can see myself losing all my paper books if there is a fire or some such disaster...which I doubt an e-reader would survive anyway. Plus, no worries about stashing a book in your travel bag, going on a long trip, and reading it at any time later. No recharging!
Between Europa at Jupiter (water and therefore oxygen) and this, it looks like we have some great candidates for spacecraft way stations on the way through the solar system, ala Discovery One.
I think that the person with the record of longest time without sleep was a DJ. They used to do these sleep deprivation contests all the time back in the day. There was even an episode of the Dick van Dyke show based on it.
I would think that electronically controlled sewage treatment plants are at risk. Most people don't think about where their poo goes, but once it starts going nowhere, it will pile up very quick for communities.
Wait, what? You had me until the "ewwww" part. It's like when the creature from the black lagoon invades your tent you hear growling, roaring,....then "ewwww!" ? Funny, though.
...finding some of those fleas trapped in amber, harvest the dino DNA therein, clone a zoo of dinos, and start an amusement park off the coast of Costa Rica. What could possibly go wrong?

Okay, I get a fail for that one. Does /. not allow the strike or s tags?

For example, just because I want a new car and a pony doesn't mean I'll get the pony.
What does this mean? I don't even

Well, it's probably the last 4 minutes of sleep. Having to skip those always makes me feel sleep-deprived anyway....

that it will happen in 2012?
And because gas prices suck in your country, they have to suck everywhere. Congrats, you would make an excellent American.
I'm surprised nobody has made the "Irish Spring SOPA" joke yet. Time to clean house!
Flea! Flea for your lives ... ewwww!

While they're down there, they should totally bring back up some better presidential candidates than we have now. Shouldn't be too hard to find one.

Absolutely, or else the sarcasm just keeps flowing over all replies to your comment.
