I think this is kind of already a given. If I were providing some service to you and you sue me, your shits will be cancelled before you can say "LAWSUIT UP."
I can already refuse service to anyone for any reason. Being sued is certainly a good reason.
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if they fucked with the piratebay version somehow and it's impossible to complete, especially with a game like No Time to Explain.
Um.. plenty of people conduct business in a made up name. Authors, actors, people in marketing rely on having an easy to remember and easy to pronounce name for their business.
In any case my point is in order for nuclear power to progress in this day and age, it might be more productive to minimize death per disaster instead of actual safety.
I think death per energy unit generated is not a good measure of perceived safety.
Since most people are short sighted and forget anything but recent history, death per disaster would be a better safety measurement for the public.
Look at car accidents. They might kill a lot of people over the course of a year. Usually it'd only kill a couple of people per accident so people usually shrug it off. Whereas a plane crash would kill hundreds of people and be considered much scarier and dangerous by the average Joe, even though plane travel kills fewer people in a year.
Why not just add a couple more digits instead of a shit load?
Yeah I know you gonna say that since we need a new stack anyway we might as well add a lot so we don't have to worry about it for a long long time.
But I think geeks are forgetting the human element in this whole upgrade process. We don't deal well with change, which is why the whole ipv6 thing has a lot of problems taking off. If we had just add two more octets and no extra confusing features, adaptation would be faster.
Is that because they're endlessly looking for a parking space?
This brings up a good point though. If your car can drive itself, why not just have it circle around the block forever? Probably cheaper than to put it in a garage.
You know, software patents get churned out everyday since years ago and will continue to be churned out years from now. Frankly I'm pretty sick of slashdotters saying so and so patents are obvious and trivial. They're only obviously because someone else has done it first! If they were actually obviously then why aren't you now patenting the stuff that you will have been declaring obvious 10 years from now? If all these patents were obvious then why are "obvious" patents still being issued everyday? They should've all been thought of by now right?
The only reason you think stuff is obvious is because someone else has thought of it first and they deserve to be paid for their ideas and inventions.
Come up with some original shit of your own and stop copying other people's crap.
Facebook users agree to have their privacy invaded and willingly give up their information. Zuckerberg didn't agree to have his image made into a figurine.
They don't care about denying US citizens who weren't born in US from entering the contest because all they care about is that the winner has to be an US citizen.
City of birth does prove US citizenship because if you were born in the US, you are automatically a citizen. Even if you later became a citizen of a country that doesn't allow dual citizenship, as far as the US government is concerned, you're still a US citizen.
Schmidt: Let's pretend. You're the Department of Transportation, and you discover that our company intentionally did nothing about leather seats cured in third world countries with chemicals we know cause birth defects? Brake linings that fail after a thousand miles. Fuel injectors that burn people alive.
Board: Just who the fuck do you think you are?! Get out! You're fired!
Schmidt: What about this? Keep me on payroll as "chairman." In exchange for my salary, I'll keep my mouth shut. I won't need to come to the office. I can do this job from home.
There is no customer configuration in which a single queue isn't more efficient than multiple queues, in average or worst-case waiting time or throughput.
Really? Your single queue efficiency would be destroyed when I have 5 of my friends to each stand on a different line, thereby increasing our chance that one of us is on the fastest line.

Play backup games, use aim bots, wall hacks, any kind of cheat you can think of.
And where does tectonic movement come from?
And where does THAT come from?
Ask these enough times and you'll arrive at God.
Not so mutually exclusive as you think.
No one gives a shit but you.
You know this patent has actual merit when slashdotters insist that it can't be done.
Beltchy? What a horrible name for a park.
In the manual/help file.
I bet you don't read the manual before you drive your new car either.

Chrome versions of adblock and noscript just block them from displaying/running but don't block them from being downloaded.

Nobel's wife cheated on him with a mathematician.
And we all know computing is just glorified math.

I don't know any game that requires PSN for single player or split screen co-op mode.
Multiplayer modes would need PSN obviously. There's no way that it can be done otherwise...

How would tsunamis affect a city floating in the air?

I'd say the rules are working just fine.

If it works, how can it be bullshit?
The National Geographic Channel has a pretty sweet documentary about it: Big, bigger biggest: Tunnel
