We're on the edge of human space exploration as a PRIVATE enterprise. That's a big fucking deal.
You mean billionaire's toys. There is no short-term profit to be had in space. The private 'Space Industry' will be deader than Nasa in under 10 years.
No. The word 'Ghey' was invented by mouth-breathing morons who felt bad about getting ostracized for their use of the word 'Gay' but didn't really want to stop using it either.
And like all good compromises, everybody hates the resultant state of affairs.
Tru dat. He just finished rescuing his wife from prison, and his current adventure has him dealing with a snotty young geek who spouts Hackers-like techno-gibberish. Good times!
Yes, the fact that I actually know this should fill me with great shame and sadness. I'm way ahead of you on that.
Every repulsive anti-hero made me less interested in the genre.
And it's all basically Frank Miller's fault. Unlike Moore, who was honestly interested in bringing some sort of realism and emotional honesty to the genre, Frankie just kept refining his particular right-wing obsessions until he got them as pure as he could in the Sin City books.
Everybody might have been inspired to reach for Moore's heights, but most of them couldn't get further than Miller's mediocrity, if that.
And then McFarlane and Liefeld showed up, at the worst possible time...

Holy crap, McFarlane's drawing again? That's actually a bigger scoop than this DC non-story (seriously, this is at least the third "reboot" in as many decades).
Sweet Jesus this man is getting a tongue bath from the press right now. Even McCain's jealous.
Mind you, he's a liferaft for the press. They get to cling to him in the stormy tea party waters right up until election day, after which, they'll just let him float away to go watch Obama's 4 year victory lap.
If I was a RIM shareholder, I wold have dropped them long ago when Apple and Google started eating their lunch and they decided not to do much about it.
Let's see... a bunch of molten salt seeps out on the desert floor, and its cooling is accelerated by the tsunami. Meanwhile, the Pacific and the Mojave, nether strangers to lots of salt, shrug it off.
you could have just said INB4 not real scientists.
Yeah, he could have. But, this being slashdot, there's a few of us who enjoy complete sentences, good grammar, and all that other old-timey stuff. The Xbox generation still has a few years before they take over everything.
And don't forget opera. The Firefox UI is quite a copy paste of Opera's UI
I've been hearing a lot of this in the last few days, and, having never used Opera, I don't understand. Are we talking about FF4, or FF in general? Because once I moved my tabs back down and set my menu bar customizations (all of 5 seconds work), FF looks like it has for several versions now.

So even if nothing replaces it (unlikely)
You have a hell of a lot of catching up to do.

They also like a fat return on their investment, and 'space tourism' just won't cut it in the long run.
We're done in space.
Might as well be.
Oh sure, they'll send satellites up, and we've all been promised Russian/Chinese/Japanese flights/space stations/moonbases.
And oh yeah, tons of private firms too!
But I'm not holding my breath. We, the human race, are pretty much done playing outside the gravity well.
If you remain one of these people who doesn't think today is depressing as fuck, I'd like some of what you're having.
That's called Ghey.
No. The word 'Ghey' was invented by mouth-breathing morons who felt bad about getting ostracized for their use of the word 'Gay' but didn't really want to stop using it either.

Don't single out a guy who's just following orders
Subtle Godwin.
We're working on the 503 problems. Sorry it's been such a pain.
With what? Good intentions and bad language? Whatever you're using hasn't worked in a long time...

Too true. I remember being a little surprised that the F-14, whose cultural heyday was the mid-80s, had been in service since the early 70s.
The pigeon was best man at his wedding, IIRC.
Agreed, but it's pretty much their only useful selling point. If they did away with the limit, Twitter would die a swift death.

Sounds good to me.
Or listening to too much Bill Hicks.

//get off my lawn
Yeah, he could have. But, this being slashdot, there's a few of us who enjoy complete sentences, good grammar, and all that other old-timey stuff. The Xbox generation still has a few years before they take over everything.
I say fuck em... It is not a pay wall. It is a wall to protect me from them.
ciderbrew wins the thread.

Yeah, no. As someone who runs FF everywhere, the recent speed increase and extra snappiness is real useful on my lower end machines.
I initially hated the awesome bar, though I've rather grown to like it. I use it as a search function for my bookmarks.
Agreed. It's faster for me to hit CTRL+L, then type 'mess' --> Enter, than to go click my slashdot messages link.
Plus it's great for those articles you read but never bookmark. A couple of keywords later, and you've found it again.
Haven't you heard? Slashdot doesn't believe in editing OF ANY KIND.
That's a feature, not a bug. Quit yer bitching.
And he doubles down on his mediocrity!
Your commitment is impressive.
Get yourself a funk and wagner's or webster's dictionary
ROFLMAO! This explains everything, if the only reference you'll ever need is a dictionary.
