FTFA: "...Today, desktops routinely ship with 300GB or 400GB hard drives..."
I know HD's are getting bigger and what not, but most computer systems I see advertised are shipped with 40gb drives, but I don't recall any on the market with that much capacity, so is this a typo?
Very valid point. It's true that anything that prevents reproduction is selected against, whether it be involuntary castration (let alone voluntary) or abstinence.
1) I originally posted in defense of those that tend to have suicidal thoughts, as I misinterpreted the grandparent regarding whether such individuals deserved to die.
2) It was an attempt at humor. Wordplay and all that.
Meh...
No, my point was that if someone "suicides", they'd be dead. Last I checked, necrophilia isn't the best form of procreation. You seem to be thinking of those with suicidal thoughts. Slight difference.
Only because one who "suicides" (is that really a verb?) is DEAD and is INCAPABLE of prolonging the species... There are a lot of living people with the social skills that make them capable of continuing the species, but I'd rather they be escorted out of the gene pool before the water becomes suddenly warm.
Exactly my point. With history being the endless waltz it's shown itself to be, one day, Mormons et al will be doing this kind of stuff. Hell, one day, I'm sure Watchtower will be forcefully delivered through one's door via a bazooka.
I think some people from the First Church of Last-Thursdayism would like to give you some reading material. Why not simply say reality itself is a hoax? Or that even the hoax is a hoax?

With the exception of bad news, which obeys it's own laws. If this were true, being caught by the police would be bad news (for the suspect), and thus, they'd be apprehended before the chase was even started.
1 in 33 trillion is still only a finite improbability, and now that I know the figures, I just need a cup of really hot tea and I'll have myself a goldmine of counterfeit footballs...

You say "poh-tay-toh", I say "ghoughpteighbteau".
Well, technically, Kirk didn't. Kahn detonated the Genesis device on board the Reliant while it was dead in the water (so to speak). :P
I'd mod you up, but there isn't a "beating me to the joke" option.
Then they go on to prove that black is white, and get killed at the next zebra crossing.

Let's Sing It is what I tend to use... Let's see, no results for "Suicide is silent" as lyrics, but several for "suicide is painless" as lyrics, including the one I was thinking of.

Unless I'm thinking of another song, I thought the lyrics were "Suicide is painless...".
And you think so 3-dimensional. I'll take a hypercube...
And a poorly executed reference at that.
That was just the sound of the deadline...
You mean like this?

"...they genuinely beleive the entire world should be forcibly conquered by their religion..."
And Christianity lacks this particular trait how?

I think I remember a /. article over a year ago on the subject...
"...Nothing travels faster than the speed of light..."
With the exception of bad news, which obeys it's own laws. If this were true, being caught by the police would be bad news (for the suspect), and thus, they'd be apprehended before the chase was even started.
"...Imagine what would happen if a Grammar Nazi or a Troll worked their way into the system..."
Worse yet, imagine a GNAA judge.
I know this, I just mentioned it because I thought it was appropriate for the article.
Incidentally, today is Romero's birthday...

He did say the patch, not the worm, would be released on the 14th...
The SG2000 was also absent from the list...
