It's an April Fool's joke you idiot. Weighing molecules, what idiocy. Like you can make a molecule-sized set of scales to weight it on. Not to mention that molecules don't weight straight down like objects, they float about, so wouldn't press down on the scales. The rest of the article is filled with pseudo-science drivel to try to look clever and hide the fact that they're making the whole thing up.
What happened to the days when April fools stories were at least slightly plausable?
I'm afraid that Little Britain is not funny. It's the same jokes recycled every week, which were barely amusing the first time. The fact that people go on and on about how great it is just shows how far British TV has descended into medeocrity.
This new badly written, badly acted Dr Who with awful special effects is merely putting the final nail into the coffin.
Or perhaps slashdotters are upset that he's spurning their favourite programme, so they suggest failings in his acting abilities as an excuse, rather than accept that he doesn't think of Dr Who as highly as them?
Yes, anyone with any map realises it's in the North-East. Although it's good to see a convention over here for a change, America always seems to get the best ones.
No, fraud would be if it were done to obtain money, not to inflate grades. Yes grades could in the future lead to more money, but it's not a direct-enough connection to classify it as fraud. It's hacking because it was unauthorised access to a computer, you might not like the new term, but that's the term people use outside of Slashdot.
The moral of the story is, when you're making a film:
Script FIRST, film LATER.
No matter how small your budget, there's no excuse for a poor script and awful acting. If you can't come up with a decent script, and can't find anyone who can act, then it's perhaps better not to make it.
Is this the standard reaction for posts you disagree with? I thought the moderation system was for promoting interesting posts and discouraging 'first posts' and the like, not as a censorship system for disagreeable views.
Jurassic Park may well have had a science-fiction premise, but the rest of the film was just a generic action film but with dinosaurs. Even had the obligatory dull car chase (note to budding film-makers: car chases are ALWAYS boring, it's been done a million times and will never be entertaining). Although it had some entertaining bits, most notably with the broken cars and the big dinosaur in the dark/rain, and the brontosauruses at the beginning. The film was at its best when it concentrated on the premise, i.e. the novelty of dinosaurs alive today, and worst when it concentrated on fitting the dinosaurs into standard action-film cliches. But you can't expect much better from Spielberg.
Actually I eat plenty, that's the problem: it makes me fat and slow. I don't drink coffee or sugar at all. What the hell is potassium deficiency? My metabolism should be fine with all the work I do.
Not a good idea, unless you like perpetual exhaustion. I for one do some moderate exercise, say 10 miles on the bike a day, mainly uphill. I also work a physical job for 8 hours a day. This might aid in getting to sleep, but it means that all the time when you're awake, you're exhausted and almost falling asleep all day. I'd rather sleep worse and be more awake during the day than sleeping well and always being tired. Means I can't do any weight-lifting or proper exercise which means my body looks like shit.
As for 'eating a good meal', that will just make you fat.
If your child can walk by itself and speak English, yet can't use the toilet, then there seems to be some problem with its development. But not all is lost, in order to improve your child's prospects, I have provided some links you may find useful:
9am isn't early. I for one get up at 5am to go to work, and I'm nowhere near as old as you are. Yes, I'm tired, yes I want to go back to sleep, but I just get up anyway, I don't need no fucking expensive alarm clock. The grandparent poster needs to pull himself together.
Yes, the English kicked the shit out of them for over 130 years, the French even losing battles in which their opponents were vastly out-numbered and fatigued, and in the end the French still didn't have all their territory back. Their main 'hero' was a woman. Who was burnt at the stake. And was really a man with a hormone disorder.
How about Napoleon conquering most of Europe?
And then everyone ganged up and kicked the shit out of him, and he went off to die on an island somewhere.
French history: 500BC: France surrenders to Celts. 100BC: France surrenders to Romans. 327AD: France surrenders to Franks. 870AD: France surrenders to Normans. 1066AD: Normans get sick of France and move somewhere better. 1300-1450AD: France surrenders again and again to England. And after a series of endless surrendering: 1914: France surrenders to the Germans. 1939: France surrenders to the Germans (again). 1954: France surrenders to Vietnamese.
All joking aside, the reason why Americans see France as 'surrendering' is that their knowledge of non-US history stretches back as far as the Second World War, and even then only American involvement. The fact that there were dozens of countries involved and not just America, Japan and Germany seems lost on them. Also the thought that all countries as old as France have a history of both victories and defeats hasn't occured to them.
As for cheese-eating, does this mean Americans don't eat cheese? What do they put on all those cheeseburgers and pizzas and cheesesteaks? Practically every country with milk-giving animals has cheese.
It strikes me as very time-consuming and inefficient to go to a dozen different sites just to get some news. How much of that stuff are you even going to remember? Also if you have any morals you'll take news.google.com out of your menu, that site infringes people's copyright. At least the BBC gets its own news (legally).
Certain destruction? Can't see it myself, you must be one of those Slashbot fanboys who hates anyone who doesn't give in to your favourite company. A bit like those ones who say that record companies trying to stop illegal copyright infringement should change their business model.
Trying to control the flow of news? Or perhaps the illegal flow of copyrighted material which Google have no right to? Just because they're Google doesn't mean they can do what they want. Always seems to be the French who are the only ones who stand up to this Google-bullying.
So why don't they just put a line in their robots.txt file telling googlebot to stay away?
Because the burden is not on AFP to configure their server to stop Google infringing their copyrights, the burden is on Google to not infringe the copyrights in the first place. No-one has any obligation to 'opt out' of having their IP stolen, no more than you have to put a sign on your front door saying 'Burglars not allowed'.
It doesn't matter what AFP should do, or what would be better for them, Google has been breaking their, and a lot of other organisations' copyrights, and rather than be sued (and they'd lose every time), they're surrendering. This whole thing is a very simple matter, there's nothing to argue about. What AFP do is their business, Slashdotters aren't the people to tell them how to run their business. Just because it's Google doesn't mean you have to jump on anyone they have problems with.
News agencies sell their news and images to magazines and get most of their money from there. They employ a horde of reporters around the world to write news to them. Why would they want one publication to copy their news and photos and use them without payment?
But you don't understand, it's GOOGLE, and this is SLASHDOT, the latter is blindly in love with the former, this means Google can do whatever they want and if they have a disagreement with someone, it's always the other's fault.
This freedom-hating cheese-eating news service is obviously stupid not to recognise the GLORY of GOOGLE. ALL MUST SUBMIT.

Get a smaller potty. I'm sure they make them in multiple sizes.
Don't be silly, girls never tire of that.

She mostly gets annoyed because she lays awake staring at the ceiling for an hour
Yeah, she does that with me as well, sometimes two hours if I've had the viagra.

Either that or get your friend to 'take one for the team' and distract her...
Have you ever heard of the hundred years war?

Hmmm, a market-leader using its power to harm other businesses who don't let them have their way. Isn't that what Microsoft were busted for?
"Let us illegally infringe your copyright or we'll take you out of our search engine." Can you say 'extortion'? What about 'anti-trust'?
