At one time, appreciation of science fiction was a significant component of nerdliness. There's certainly enough Star Wars in-jokery here to illustrate that on a daily basis. Anyway, Philip K. Dick is widely considered to have been one of the greatest science fiction authors of all time, although since he died in 1982, many Slashdot readers may be too young to know that.
That's funny, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has them the same (Choose 'Unemployment Rate - Seasonally Adjusted'; the astute reader might also want to compare Clinton's second term with Bush's first).
Note also that there are an increasing number of nonworkers not captured in these stats (NYT Archive reprint).
Ironically, everything you just said about Pixar used to be said about Disney, circa 1940s and 1950s. So it would seem that they have not learned from even their own experiences.
...such as those who believe in 'curses', think the useless stats slipped into ESPN/Fox Sports commentator banter actually mean something, think pro wrestling is real, etc.
Then again, yesterday on the radio, Daniel Schorr said the electorate is looking for something, anything on which to base a final decision. This is why stories that would normally not be gaining a lot of attention any other time (flu shots, 'Azzam the American') are getting so much play.
An American soldiers life is worth untold millions in defense spending.
Would that Americans thought so highly of Iraqi lives. Thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians have died since 'Mission Accomplished' largely because we can't pacify the country, and nobody in the USA, certainly not the mainstream media, seems to give a d*mn.

You just proved his point by descending to his level.
Heh, you were only drinking Mountain Dew. I was eating a salad. (Ow.)

Ever been to a meat-packing plant?
Instant vegetarian...
Not only will we being seeing these cans for years on Ebay, the contents will still be 'edible'.

Heh, or maybe 'Azzam' has mod points. But he should blame Schorr, not me. ;-)
You sure about that? Snopes says the Redskins won 31-16.
Flamebait?! Why on earth?? Do we have moderators who think pro wrestling is real?

It says in the article that they can't sell more than 10% of it in any single day.
Got an error on the first posting and thought it had bombed out.
Perhaps this is a reference to the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal.
