The problem is, MOST of us don't take our rights pretty damn seriously. When the patriot act was passed, people cheered the gub'ment for protecting them. Our society is complacent, living on the opinions spoonfed to them by a goverment that lies through its teeth to obtain its goals, and a corporate media that manipulates the information they recieve so they either don't realize or don't care that the government is giving more and more power to big business while taking away the rights of the average Joe.
Look at the issues in the elections, its all about gay marriage (taking away someone's rights to make them live the way you want them to) and other meaningless bullshit. No one is going to get elected running on a platform of restoring personal freedom. And that's truly sad.
So instead of reuters or the washington post or, shit, even cnet, we get a nobody gamer site with an article that has no links to anybody credible. Brilliand reporting from slashdot, as usual.
There are a lot more than that... near Intercourse, you have Paradise (naturally), as well as Leacock, Reamstown, East Petersburg, Mountville, Climax, Beaver, and of course the ever-present Blue Ball. You don't know how frustrating it is to drive out to the country, and figure you'll stop for a quick visit to Intercourse, get lost and end up in Blue Ball. and wind up ending your night with Bird in Hand.
Repeat after me... Intelligent... Design... Is.. Not.. A.. Fucking.. Theory.
A theory makes predictions which can be validated or disproved via experiment. A theory is able to be tested. There is no test for ID. You can't climb up a mountain and say "hey God, did you design this thing?" More importantly, unless God starts talking to every person on Earth - there can be no independent confirmation.

You know, I wasn't really planning to replace my dual G5 powermac for quite some time, but this might be enough to motivate me to put it up on ebay and get an intel machine when they come out. Every once in a while I get the "hey you gotta try this awesome game" IM from a friend, and being able to fire up windows and give it a shot would sure be nice. I still have no desire to waste space with a second windows box that would only be booted once in a while, but being able to dual boot would be pretty sweet. Plus, with virtualization coming soon (beta already out), there's suddenly a whole lot more reason to upgrade to intel macs.
To look at the world "like one big xray slide" you'd have to carry around a source of xrays and put them behind the subject, then use your xray sensitive eyes (good luck developing those) to detect the rays coming through the subject. It's not exactly like there are a buncha xrays flying through us all the time, ya know.
This thing walks in a circle and is connected to a boom - it can't walk freely. All the legs have to worry about is front/back balance, and not side to side. Of course, making that obvious in the headline or summary would make the article seem much less interesting, and we couldn't have that, now could we?
I'm fat because my brain can't focus on a single task? Here I thought it was all the taco bell and doritos I ate, combined with the fact that I sit on my big ass 24 hours a day. All along it's been because my brain just likes to multitask. Thank you, TFA, for giving me yet another excuse to skip that pesky personal responsibility thing and blame something else for my lard ass.
The lower couple of rack spaces seem to be used up by a distro box - I've seen similar types of multipin connectors used for both audio snakes and lighting. You can also make out some twist-lock power connectors and what look like BNC connectors (possibly wireless mic antenna).
From what I can tell by googling, "intermitting" means "taking time off from classes" so apparantly these macbooks are such time wasters that people are dropping out of college.
Honestly, why would you need a minidisc for this? If you're trying to record practice sessions, it means you're already lugging your sax with you. You can't find room for a portable DAT deck? Heck, even the much praised sony from this article makes one about the size of an old-school walkman.
Minidisc is a niche format with a cult following - DAT is an industry standard. Use it to record and you will be able to pop into just about any halfway decently equipped studio or theater sound booth and work with your recording.
Cringley is a troll, just like Dvorak and a number of other idiotic "technology writers" whose drivel gets posted to slashdot on a regular basis. News for trolls. Stuff that's useless. But, hell, it drives up the page hits and brings in those advertising dollars. I guess we should be happy Jon Katz doesn't post articles here anymore, at least.
Got a link? The only Japanese neutrino experiment from the late 90s that I can recall is super-K, which was most certainly NOT a particle accelerator. Super K is just a massive cherenkov radiation detector - an empty mine that was meticulously cleaned and filled with very pure water, and contained a whole bunch of PMTs to detect single photons given off by cosmic particle interactions.
This is basically implying all women are stupid. If your teenage sister writes like this post, then slashdot is basically implying that all women have the mentality of a teenage girl.
Shut the fuck up, and get me a beer, bitch.
Seriously, because slashdot changed the color of its website and did some posts in myspace teenage-esque, now they are somehow implying that all women are stupid, or even that all women act like a certain teenage stereotype? For fuck's sake, grow a sense of humor, and maybe a personality too, and stop over-analyzing everything you read. It's people like YOU who help establish the stereotype that women are complete whackos with no ability to think rationally or apply logic to every day situations. If you don't want women to be stereotyped - stop acting like a stereotype!

Heh... that's almost as good a hack as disabling copy protection by holding the shift key.
D is for Diploma!
I don't mean to be facetious, or a troll
So what did you mean to be? A dumbass who can't read?

Wait, so now we have to replace RTFA with RTFC? Jeez, no wonder geeks are all so unhealthy... look at how lazy we are!

If you're going to karma whore with video links, at least fucking coralize them.

Crazy by Gnarls Barkley has been tipped to make music history this week by becoming the UK's first number one single based on download sales alone.
Download SALES. Not downloads. Visiting the website a trillion times wouldn't change the ranking on the charts.
You do realize that Slashdot.org, which regularly links these troll articles, DOES have advertising on it, right?
