That's one of them urban myths. The earliest record of the joke is from 1866, albeit with a dog instead of a cat, cats having been invented by Jesus in 1892.
I hate it when people say that. By refusing something they're implying that it has been offered to them, which reveals that they think that someone, somewhere, thinks they deserve it.
I just think [speaking out] was the responsible thing.
No, not deliberately lying about having and being cured of cancer was the responsible thing to do.
But she said people needed to "draw a line in the sand where they still treat someone with some level of respect or humility".
Sorry, but you've lost the right to dictate how much respect is due to you.
Above anything, I would like people to say, 'Okay, she's human.
I'd insist on a genetic test before believing even that, from her.
She's obviously had a big life.
Jesus... she's obviously got an ego inflated to bursting point.
She's respectfully come to the table
No, there's nothing respectful about any of this.
I'd never wish cancer on anyone, but in her case, I'll just wish the symptoms (apart from death) on her, temporarily.
If you want useful apps that work well, you WANT developers to be the first to get watches
Apple just wants people to buy their watch, and "useful apps that work well" is way down an Apple fan's list of reasons to buy something by Apple, the main one being "ooh Apple gimmegimmegimme hipster shiny Starbucks."
it emits electrons that vibrate at a baseline frequency
Do electrons actually vibrate? Or is this one of those cases where a scientist has dumbed it slightly and a journalist had taken very third word and jiggled them about until they make a vaguely coherent sentence?
While the decision is undoubtedly a big win for users today, it could also set a precedent for future lawsuits against Adblock Plus and any other tool that offers similar functions.
Accellerating at 1G you could probably make the NYC-LAX trip in 30-60 minutes.
More like 15.
Of course, you might have a bit of a bumpy landing as you leapt for the platform from the speeding train, which would at that point be closing on 9km/s. So, yeah, 30 minutes if you wanted to walk off at the other end.
The vents would be shutters that could be opened and closed rapidly, so you're always pulling air from the front of the train and introducing it behind the train.
The speedometer in the video seems to climb steadily to 603 then immediately stop, rather than flattening out as I'd expect. At a very rough guess it was undergoing acceleration of about 0.5m/s^2, which then dropped seemingly instantaneously to 0. Would that be a noticeable jolt?
Is there a reason they targetted 603km/h? Maybe they were going for 600km/h and someone was slow to ease off the magnets...
Slashdot Mirror
...and it's all thanks to Google Fi.
Unless it isn't, in which case, damn you Google Fi.
So what you're saying is... *sunglassses* they get a buzz out of it?
Yeeeaaaa- no.
Secondly, who wants to watch people play video games over the Internet, even if it is "for charity"?
Other people who are not you. Take a look around you some time - there are a lot of them in the world.
I can think of better things to do than watch a bunch of neckbeards slowly sit themselves to death in front of a flickering screen.
But you can't think of something better to do than complain about what other people like to do?
Einstein's explaination
That's one of them urban myths. The earliest record of the joke is from 1866, albeit with a dog instead of a cat, cats having been invented by Jesus in 1892.
the adage "don't fix what isn't broken" is clearly one 15.04 plays to.
Uh huh...
systemd [...] replaces the inhouse UpStart init system.
Hmm.
which, thankfully, did not kill us all in 2004, or in 2008
2005-2007: no data
Stupid title is stupid.
It's also hyperbole, ironically.
and they've just upped it to 4 demerit points
They should just fine you 50 quatloos and be done with it.
I don't want forgiveness.
Good! You're not going to get any from me.

E, you're embeddable
I, you're injectable
M, you're a meatbag full of tech
Yes, think about the horrendous outcomes of Gattaca: High IQ's, no genetic illnesses, long lives...
And Jude Law. Arrgh!
They need a study to say that a 3d video + sound experience is usually better than a plastic card?
Yes. That's how science works. You can't get away with just saying "Oh, well, it's probably true," and use that as the basis for your paper.
Thanks for taking the time to post your response. May I draw your attention to this AC, who claims that
Electrons _always_ vibrate. We couldn't exist, and neither could the Universe, if they didn't.
as I get the impression you might know more about it than he does?
and clingy relationships with protons.
But usually the protons are shacked up with neutrons, so the electrons are forced to keep their distance.
Perhaps the wording was bad:
it could also set a precedent for future lawsuits against Adblock Plus
"For" could be read as "in favour of," but perhaps what was meant was "in relation to."

How's that? Surely it does the exact opposite.
Please start living in the 21st century.
Yes, but you don't have to repeat it five times in a single paragraph.
Yes, you do, if you're the Department of Justice.
I would think that whoever is in charge of press releases for the DOJ would be at least be competent at writing.
They are competent, but they also have to be acutely aware of not stating as fact something which they have yet to prove in court.
Also FITS may have ASCII headers, but it can also contain binary data.
Yes, because it would be 2009.
