Maybe Slashdot should have someone look submissions over and correct errors - "edit" them, if you will. We could call them "editors." Hey, you could even pay them money so they don't do a half-arsed job of it!

If that's the only reason, why fly in formation at all?

Mmm, pi^e.
Just get a pair of these and you're set.
Good old reliable rock. Nothing beats rock.
Again, though, so much worse if you're male. You chicks have everything so easy.
Maybe I should post this anonymously...
Ah, very helpful. Use a computer. I bet he never thought of that.
you just try to find a ladies size 5 in triple E width!
You just try asking to try a pair on in the store when you're a dude. The looks I- someone'd probably get. Hypothetically.
Ask Slashdot: How Can I Improve My Memory For Study?
Have you donated your brain to science after you die, and this is the equivalent of putting on clean underpants in case you get run over?
If any story deserves a dup in a couple of days time, it's this one.
CES 2014: 3-D Scanners are a Logical Next Step After 3-D Printers
Yes, I'm sure they would be, if they hadn't been invented years before the 3D printer.
As a great police chief once said, "I'd rather let ten guilty men go free than... chase after them."

Aurora, Colorado. If there had been one armed ex cop in the theater, probably less than 12 people would have died.
There'd probably be exactly 12 less dead people if there'd been one less crazy person with a legally acquired collection of assault weapons.
And if everyone entering the US was subjected to a mandatory mind probe 9/11 wouldn't have happened.
And...
In that he states he did not see who through the popcorn.
That's a lotta popcorn.

I have no idea about any of those, but I don't have any trouble remembering what they are the units of.
What's so confusing about re-using a scientist's name? Would you prefer "time unit" or "mass unit"?

I knew a girl at school called Pandora. Never got to see her box, though.

Have you ever noticed how everyone else in the world is not you? You might find it enlightening to think about that.

increase in helmet use does not reduce severe brain injuries
4) You're more likely to die than be brain damaged if you don't wear a helmet.
Actually, 4.
Nope, just one where everyone wears cowboy hats.
