I've never understood why we got stuck on this 'climate change' issue in the first place.
Smog/soot/crappy air is something everybody can see. Nobody is happy about dirty air, but the things that cause it are largely the same things that are blamed for causing the climate to change.
Frame the issue around the pollution and people will get behind it, because they can see it. It has an obvious and personal effect on them. Frame it around something that happens over decades, and that _may_ affect their grandchildren and you end up with a bunch of deniers and heel-diggers.
Geez, they're just lucky that they're still alive. That very big gun, capable of mowing down, well...just about anything, could have leapt out that box and killed her unborn child!
I mean, unloaded guns, still in packaging, have killed untold numbers of unsuspecting hipsters.
I don't like the requirement of moving my hand off the keyboard and over to the mouse just so I can navigate.
It's i3 for me.
Plus, the start menu paradigm is retarded, and the last time I bothered trying KDE they were just trying their hardest to be a shinier, blingier Windows.
I love how every AGW story is filled with comments like "you're not a climatologist, so you're not qualified to question the results", but this story is filled comments from armchair physicists telling the people at CERN why they're wrong.
Slashdot came up and worked fine for me, so that tells me one of two things:
1) I have tweaked my settings somehow and made it non-default in such a way that it looks good.
But I don't do much customization here, which tells me that the 'broken-ness' of the site is only a tweak or two away (by the developers or the masses).
or
2) Your weirdo, customized-to-the-hilt setup is to blame.
Either way, it's not the end of the world, a personal attack on you, or a result of complete incompetence.
Man, anyone with a Model M that works in an office environment deserves a swift kick in the nuts. It's incredibly inconsiderate to the rest of your coworkers.
Go ahead and make all your 'but teh ergonomics of clicking', 'but my RSI'...at the end of the day you're a loud, distracting jerk that only considers yourself.
Seriously, I knew it was going to slow my web pages down by about a zillion times, and so far it's delivered. So much of the web is rendered unusable in the default browser on my phone because of the flash plugin it's comical. Worse yet, there's no way that I know of to disable flash.
But the beauty of Android is that I can just use a different browser. Which I do. (thank you Opera!)
That company has built up so much ill-will that I don't care how "technically inferior" the alternatives are, I don't want anything from Microsoft anywhere near my phone or computers.
I'm happy to wait that extra fraction of a second or do without the 'ooh shiny.'
What a balanced and unbiased summary. I will be sure to read the linked article and participate in what will certainly be a level-headed and thought-provoking discussion.

I'd be interested, too. I live in Utah and like to support the quality local chocolate. So far I'm only aware of Amano and Millcreek.
There's no private messaging on slashdot, but if you wouldn't mind shooting me an email, zgasma at gmail should work.
Thanks!
Would there be so much "unease" about a fantasy convention?
What's the difference?
The researchers are already working on making the device secure against unauthorized transmissions.
You're going to trust your body chemistry (moods, behaviors, etc) to a company that considers security as an afterthought?
Good luck.

While we're at it, it's "neither water-proof nor water soluble."
I also find it neat that there is something man-made that is 17 light-hours away. That is reeeeally far.
Is that article originally from the Onion?

Probably not the most depressing story ever, but it took me a few days to recover from.

Don't you mean Ethan Hunt?

The beauty of the NNF is that it fills the gaps and voids quickly, but still provides strong resistance for shock from cars driving over.
Except that it's in a bag, which would prevent that, wouldn't it?
As long as he donates it we can ignore how he got it? (illegally)

No further comment necessary.
Were I a nefarious evildoer, I'd just detonate myself while standing in the TSA grope line.
They're packed in like cattle there. More bang for your buck...as it were.

Geez. Go take a walk.
I've never seen the 'Wikipedia is a MUD' comparison before, but it's completely awesome.
There are some good lessons in there.
Yeah, like:
It's even louder than a Model M? Uh...neato?

Like to use a Model M at home? Sweet...rock on.
...except from itself.

And here I thought that no secrets were worth keeping.
I'd say 'predictably bad'.
