Shouldn't the award AT LEAST be limited to the highest conceivable profit those movies could have *possibly* made had they not sold a single one? There is NO WAY they would have made even a fraction of that had this guy COMPLETELY killed their business.
In response the the recent reprimand from the esteemed, and in no way senile, Lord Justice Longmore, Lord Justice Kitchin and Sir Robin Jacob--we at Apple would like to apologize for pointing out the superiority of our products over our lame-ass competitors on our website acknowledgement. In the future, we will attempt to better comply with the court's orders, not matter how stupid they may be. And tempting as it may be to point out how much Samsung products blow compared to ours, we will refrain from taking snarky potshots at our retarded South Korean friends in the future. Thank you, and thanks to all of the non-lameasses out there who appreciate that Apple products rule.
Martian soil is a weathered volcanic type similar to soils found in the Hawaiian Islands
Now all it needs is air pressure, oxygen, water, more sunlight, an ozone layer, a magnetic field, arable soil, flora, and fauna--and we can live there no problem!
So could we kill off all the 'typical' flu viruses allowing the evolution of something more aggressive?
You could make the same argument about ANY vaccine. It's a tradeoff between how many people you will save and the risk of creating something worse. But, so far at least, vaccines have paid off in a HUGE way. It's almost unheard of today for children to die of common diseases that used to routinely kill them in droves.
If anything, the real risk is that we will end up prolonging life so long that we'll end up with overpopulation and demographic problems (we're already seeing some of that now).
Ships are designed to be at sea, not alongside a dock. In severe storms, boats are often able to more easily weather a storm in the open water
Why do you people *keep repeating* that dumb shit? Yes, that's true FOR THE BOAT, NOT FOR THE CREW. The best option for the crew (which is *way* more important than your shitty replica) is to GET THEM OFF THE SHIP UNTIL THE STORM PASSES. You see, ports allow the crew to exit the ship and go onto dry land and shelter. And that's why a port is MUCH BETTER in a storm than being out to sea.
I don't think it takes an experienced master of the seas to reason that traveling through the middle of a hurricane in a 18th-century replica wooden boat (or, really, ANY boat) is probably a bad idea. This inexperienced land-lubber would have opted to put the boat in port and give the crew a few days off instead (you know, so they could get to on-land shelter).
The original HMS Bounty didn't have the benefit of knowing a week in advance when a hurricane was coming. This one did. WTF were they even at sea for? Unless this was a suicide run, that was pretty fucking stupid.
Oh shit, they have a linux client in BETA where a total of 1,000 users can play one old game!!! Well, why didn't you say so?!?? I take it back. Shit, they're all it!! Look out Microsoft, Valve is jumping ship any day now!
When I was in college there was a poster that hung in one of the professor's offices. It was a picture of a stern looking old fart glaring at the camera, with the caption "Programming: You're doing it all wrong." Every time one of these discussions comes up on/. I think about that poster. Everyone chimes in with why you have to use X language, why assembly is the ONLY way to program, why all IDE's are evil and you're a terrible programmer unless you use a text editor/VI/punch cards. Blah, blah, blah.
I am a nerd. But sometimes my fellow nerds REALLY get on my fucking nerves. Thank god I don't have to hang out with you lot at parties.

No need to leave a callback number, we already know who you are.
As for the new tablet?? Well... that's kinda pricy.
Yeah, that's really disappointing. I was really expecting the Nexus 10 to be in the $250-$300 range (considering the Nexus 7 is in $200 range). $400 is well beyond the impulse buy range.

Let's just say there is a group of very clever squirrels who are definitely not going to be hungry this winter.
Squirrels EVOLVING!
extinct
They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it does.

It just wouldn't be a slashdot story if 'intellectual property' didn't pop up somewhere, now would it?
Do you really expect them to spend hundreds of millions of $ to develop them and then just give them away for free?

Humor: You're doing it completely wrong.
in a hurricane a ship is safer at sea than in port
For the hundredth fucking time, you blithering idiots, NO IT'S NOT!
In port, the crew can exit the ship, seek shelter, and NOT FUCKING DROWN TO DEATH.
I hope I never have to hire any of you morons as engineers.

A SHIP IS SAFER AT SEA THAN IN PORT
You know what's even safer than that? A ship in port, and its crew off the ship.
Safer for a ship to be at sea than in port where it will smashed against the dock and washed ashore.
I'm no experienced seaman, but I think I have an idea on that. How about you put the ship in dock--but have the crew get off it? Just a thought.
Apparently it was written by a group of SNL writers in 1981.
Reading the summary, I'm reminded of numerous scenes in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" where someone tries to read Charlie's dyslexic writings.
The original HMS Bounty didn't have the benefit of knowing a week in advance when a hurricane was coming. This one did. WTF were they even at sea for? Unless this was a suicide run, that was pretty fucking stupid.
The part of Fletcher Christian will now be played by Tom Hardy.

"Everyone else but me is doing it wrong" should be the official /. motto.
The point is that any computer language could be a better language.
FTFY

Yeah, Valve TALKS a good game on Linux. But when it comes to actual DELIVERY--well, not so much.
