Yeah the CS department at my school is phasing out the pretty Sun Workstations and replacing them with crappy Red Hat machines. These crappy Red Hat machines can't do NFS worth squat and because of that everything is 5x faster on the Suns.
You get the perversity prize for generating radically different behavior in different browsers and/or browser versions while only using valid HTML and CSS.
Its really not that hard either.

id wanted to do a remake of the original DooM with new technology, and part of the charm of the original DooM was its completely nonsense storyline: you get teleported to hell, kill kill kill.
One group berates the person for not Googling first. Another points out this has been asked before. A third group goes and argues about a minor detail in the question instead of the real issue. A fourth will make jokes completely irrelevant to the issue The next group will troll the debate by saying Windows already does it. One person will eventually answer the actual question but they will get modded to -1 because their answer isn't nearly as interesting as the rest of the comments.
If NAFTA fit into this in anyway it would be making the trade EASIER, not harder. Unless I'm completely missing some minor detail about the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Since about 75% of the country's electricity is fossil fuels, and heat is usually generated with fossil fuels or electricity using hydrogen doesn't solve anything.
I'm truly ashamed for people who think that hydrogen fuel cells will solve all of the world's fossil fuel problems. Sure, hydrogen fuel cells will make for extremely low exhaust cars, longer laptop battery life, etc, but they won't solve the fossil fuel crisis.
While you are correct that it won't solve the problem, which do you think is more efficient? The engine in your car that has to deal with a range of speeds and constant changes in load, or the one at the power plant that runs 24/7 at a relatively constant speed?
A landmine, like a claymore, that is manually detonated by an operator is not banned by the anti-landmine treaty.
Granted you can rig a claymore to explode by a tripwrire or some similar method that is activated by an unsuspecting enemey (or more commonly civilian)
Any technology can be used for good or evil, especially technology that makes energy. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of TNT, knew this only too well. He created the Nobel prize so people wouldn't remember him as the creator of a weapon.
Corrent except for the fact that Nobel created Dynamite not TNT. He also developed the blasting cap I think.

Wait, Doom had a story???
When I call them DIMMs I rarely say sticks, but they are "sticks of RAM" damnit!
No, no, no thats not how an Ask Slashdot works!

No, this is the real thing (or this for something a tad safer)
Can't forget this classic too
I bet you they won't play this song on the radio
Actually it picked up some nasty that copied itself into ALOT of places on the hard drive. 3,120 places to be exact.
I hit 3000 on a computer in the computer lab at the high school I work at.
True, but "Windows 2000" is just the marketing name, the actual version is NT 5.0. Just like XP is 5.1 and 2003 is 5.2.
See this for the actual version numbers of other releases.
Yet...
So multiplying by 0.62 didn't occur to them?

You mean like this?
The only places I've ever heard of that are when I went to Space Camp in Alabama and Florida. Is it an urban legend or did it happen?
Or even better have it with Will Ferrel.
I mean all you can do with a parfe (sp?) is eat it.
I'm Will Ferrel and I'm a pr0n actor.
I would tilt more towards an old fashioned fairy-tale than a western. Most westerns didn't involve magic (aka the force)

IT seems that was only partially successful. "Litigous bastards" turns up discussions about google bombing sco with that phrase :)
