In fact, you need science for a miracle to occur. A miracle is something that cannot be explained by the laws of nature. Science allows you to know those laws.
Bah... I'm putting on my tinfoil hat again... and I don't even live in the US;-)
Lucky you... you still get to wear your tinfoil hat. In the U.S., the PATRIOT(?) act has defined them as "terrorist antisurveillance equipment", as terrorists can use them to shield their thoughts from our beloved authorities. So posesion of one is punishable by a nice, long vacation in Guantanamo.
The minute you make any kind of mistake they pounce, with grossly exaggerated damage figures that aren't even sane, but somehow actually get awarded--especially by jury trials--with an extremely low burden of proof.
That's right. We should get rid of the RIAA immediatly... Wait... isn't it Thursday? Gotta update my Slashdot Whining Calendar...
The only right good ole Mericans have is the right to pay for the new Metallica.. and if they don't like it then let the fury of RIAA rain upon them!!!
oh sorry was channelling Hilary Rosen for a minute... ewww.. I feel dirty now
Wow... lesbian dominatrix feeling dirty... Is it wrong if I am slightly turned on?
Me, I'm extreme enough to say that there shouldn't be any copyright past 6 months, but thats not going to happen.
Wow. This really tells me all I need to know about your views. So, I write a book. I shop it around for six months, but nobody will publish it. Why? Because past those six months, my book is up for grabs! Total effect: Artists get nothing, publishers (music and books) get even more money. Please, spare any more thought until you, well, think them over.
the point is that he's a pussy who can't laugh at himself
And you've never been a 15 year old geek in high school, right? It's easy to be jaded as an adult. But I remember adolescence. The fact that he hasn't attempted suicide is already notable.
We didn't miss the joke. We're just making fun of the concept of "decapitating a head", as opposed to "decapitating a horse". All in good, clean fun, of course;)
I know that people (especially older adults) will not allow this to occur.
Except, in 20-40 years, older adults will not be like older adults today. They will, in fact, be us, a generation that is already confortable interacting with machines and that in many cases prefer them to user contact.

Are you saying it got whacked because it knew too much?
When did the Futurama thread turned to the Godfather?

As far I can recall, K5 has wanted to have Slashdot's traffic.
Now they do >:)
But he doesn't look anything like Marlon Brando! What is he doing at a NAMBLA meeting?

9/11 changed the rules.
Then the terrorists have won.

How many is "Oh No"?
I'm not sure, but probably too many.
Only if you don't listen to it. THAT can be hazardous.
United we stand, divided we....yada yada yada...
I really can't see how writing "yada yada yada..." was easier than writing "fall".
I'm sure that's a metaphore for something. I just can't think why.
Actually a better comparison would be evaluating a car and saying it doesn't fit on the existing roads
Canyonero!!!!
That's actually my joke in its entirety. Lame as it is, it is a Simpson reference, so gimme my (+5, Funny) now, dammit.
Used your lawnmower without safety goggles?
Yep.
I also removed the cover of my brand new Braille keyboard.
Come to think of it... now infertility CAN be hereditary.
I hate it when technology makes a joke obsolete...
Yeah, sure. And you read Slashdot for the ads...

Boy, would I hate to see the trolls who post links to goatse.cx....
Idiot! You scared them off before they covered her in hot grits!

How do you decapitate a head? Is that like a zen thing, or something?
