Videogames definitely help. My roommate and I played one of the burnouts for x-box for a few hours one night. Early the next morning while driving to work, I lost control of my jeep during a rainstorm while driving on an overpass. Thanks to my sweet drifting burnout skills, my instant response was to tap the brake, swing the rear end of my jeep into the wall to bounce off and straighten out. It worked like a charm. Had I not played for hours the night before, I think I would've wrecked, having never faced a loss of control on rain-slick pavement at 80 mph in real life.
So, is it wrong to assume that this variant also makes a person inept at a variety of tasks? Working, shopping, cleaning, cooking--pretty much anything that presents more than a minuscule challenge to the brain?
You know, based on all of these cock-eyed predictions, I think the most important thing to take out of this posting is that there's only a half-million people in Wyoming. Seriously, any slashdotters from Wyoming out there??
You know, I found I derived more enjoyment and satisfaction from the flash tutorial talking about the new bill than I'll ever enjoy from fondling the real money. *sigh*

I think in some cases eye for an eye isn't appropriate--for example, murdering a killer is going too easy on them--locked in a cell for a long-ass time is much crueler and more deserving. However, I agree with the previous poster: SPAM THE FUCK OUT OF THE SPAMMERS
I'm referred to by my friends as the resident computer nerd. We call the labs at school the "nerdery". I refer to my major--cs--as nerd studies. I think this is the best description for a layman because it's simple and funny. And yes, it will get you laid:).
4 years ago, I saw the same thing that has been described before--a green meteorite looking thing with a greenish-blue tail. A few friends and I were on the way home (we live in a rural town near Springfield, IL (Petersburg)). We thought it was fireworks, but the object, from the very first moment we saw it, had a tail trailing up. It disappeared beneath the tree line, but we couldn't tell how far away it was. Needless to say, we figured it was just some meteorite, but it was kind of freaky nonetheless.

*obligatory* And I, for one, welcome our new robotic man-eating furniture overlords.

Would be the first to go. Obviously this is all a nefarious plot for China to set up troop-transport systems and invade Europe.
I hope you're a fan of women bringing you sammiches on Facebook. If not, you should be.

18% of people in America were found to be utterly stupid.
The most important question--were you fired?
Not to be arrogant, but we're the greatest nation on earth. Build it here. :)

The club for spammers hates spam???
Any hot tips/systematic methods to share with the slashdot crowd?

I've got to say it, I thought jokes were supposed to be funny?
