According to QI, most women will go straight to the face, whereas men tend to sneak a look at the crotchal region - and it doesn't matter if they're looking at a woman, a man, or even a dog.
I just found out it's big enough to require the invention of it's own pseudo-currency:
ITER Construction will be managed within an agreed capped ceiling of 4,700 kIUA (ITER Unit of Account in thousands). This construction cap is based on the ITER Baseline adopted in July 2010 by the ITER Council and cannot be exceeded.
AIUI, the unidentified (in the summary) Oliver was an ex-hacker working for NDS - the summary, such as it is, would lead to believe he was still an active hacker being pursued by this Rissler guy. Rissler didn't know he was NDS, and no-one at NDS seemed to want to tell him, hence the shenanigans.
The researchers cannot say exactly what created the tsunami (nothing suggests it was an earthquake), but they propose that the falling rock caused an accumulated heap of sediment in the Rhône delta to collapse.
Calm down. It's pretty obvious that the GP misconstrued what was being said, failing to make the GGP's distinction between "sharing" and "legally sharing."
Microsoft CEO Ballmer thinks Microsoft's tablet is better than Apple's.
'You can go through the products from all those guys and none of them has a product that you can really use. Not Apple. Not Google. Not Amazon. Nobody has a product that lets you work and play that can be your tablet and your PC. Not at any price point,' he says."
Psst, Steve - this is where you're supposed to qualify your statement with "except Microsoft!"
Eddie Izzard did a bit on that. He got caught jumping a fare on the London Underground and ended up being pinned to the ground by four policemen. One pulls his left arm and tells him to stop struggling... the next one pulls him back by the right arm and tells him to stop struggling. Then he gets arrested for assaulting a police offer. Surely (he concludes) it was Stretching a Pedestrian?
I think it's fair to want people to resolve differences like reasonable adults.
Differences like a mall security wanting some kid to delete his photos, and the kid refusing/being unable to do so? That should have been resolved in a reasonable manner, but it wasn't.
But when it comes down to the decision to sue or not to sue, it should be based on what's in your best interests
I'd say reminding the authorities of their responsibilities to the public is in everyone's personal interest. It's sad that dragging them to court seems to be the best way of doing that these days, but there we are.

And to do that, they confiscate all your devices. You may get them back in a year or two.
And possibly the same for your kids.
Apparently it's the former: here
And it keeps tigers away.
Story says hacker knew he was hacked after 10 minutes. How does that explain two pictures different angles one shirt less.
It's a well-known and interesting fact that hackers can move their laptops and put on a shirt in less than five minutes.
Indeed. Magnets reproduce by binary fission.

The world's largest scientific project
In what sense is that? Number of people directly working on it? Number of countries collaborating?

Someone needs to ask Randall to draw an XKCD about the "obligatory XKCD" meme.
Nonstop coverage of something that doesn't affect me? Yes, because I couldn't watch real news.
How much of that "real news" actually does affect you?
Or maybe she had access to their shipping database and did routine checks for her boyfriend.
This isn't new. And it's also not as interesting as this.

Right there in the summary.
Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

within days they were playing alphabet songs and withing a few months how to hack the user interface to enable blocked camera functionality.
And within a year they had a better grasp of English spelling and grammar than the editors at Slashdot.
...out of Lego.
An Anonymous Coward send word
I are very happy to hear it.
under the watch of police in full riot gear with automatic weapons
This had nothing to do with the lost phone. Some punk got shot and people went nuts.

Hopefully, he has a 3rd year law student friend
I misread that as "3rd grade." Excuse me while I write a sitcom pilot!

What truly pathetic depths Slashdot has sank to.
They let you in for a start.

Too late for that one...
