When I go see a movie at a theatre with other people, we usually talk (not quietly) about stuff during the commercial and generally ignore whatever's on screen until the trailers.
On top of your assessment, I'd like to add that maybe it wasn't a good idea to use celebrity mugshots...
Because who knows what response those people's celebrity status might trigger in someone's brain upon recognizing the "special status" attributed to them by society?
Science & Vie has an article on a new form of carbon that might replace silicon.
I have the paper edition here... professor Andre Geim scraped a small slice of graphite until he got it down to just one atom thick... it's called "graphene" (in French), for which he discovered interesting properties.
This material was already known, but its properties unknown because previous methods of making it produced unstable graphene.
HARTMAN: Quickly! Get your fat ass over there, Private Pyle! Oh, that's right, Private Pyle... don't make any fucking effort to get to the top of the fucking obstacle! If God wanted you up there He would have miracled your ass up there by now, wouldn't He?
PYLE: Sir, yes, sir!
HARTMAN: Get your fat ass up there, Pyle!
PYLE: Sir, yes, sir!
HARTMAN: What the hell is the matter with you anyway? I'll bet you if there was some pussy up there on top of that obstacle you could get up there! Couldn't you?!
PYLE: Sir, yes, sir!
[PYLE drops heavily to the ground.]
HARTMAN: Your ass looks like about a hundred and fifty pounds of chewed bubble gum, Pyle. Do you know that?
If you are a more serious photographer interested in artistry, you buy an SLR
Not necessarily. Other artistic photography options include: Medium Format, Large Format, and Pinhole.
For the uber-artist with hacker tendencies, Pinhole Photography is the technique of choice, since you can build your own camera to whatever specification your mind fancies, and process your negatives and prints in the discomfort of your own darkroomized closet.

Why don't you prescribe them antivirals then?
You'd have to make sure to tell the patient, antibiotics are for bacteria, and antivirals are for viruses... you have a virus, so you have two options: wait until your flu is over, or get an antiviral prescription.
The first bill from the pharmacy should "cure" the situation pretty fast.
The typical North American diet, with its large share of animal products, requires twice as much water to produce as the less meat-intensive diets common in many Asian and some European countries.
I call BS on this. I just returned from a one month long trip in Asia, and there are way more "meat" restaurants than vegetarian/vegan ones.
At some point, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, my friends and I got so tired of constantly eating meat-rich meals, we had to search long and hard for vegetarian fare.
There are also environmental consequences to being a vegetarian/vegan (though minimized or eliminated if you grow your own without using pesticides and chemical fertilizers).
If everyone was vegan on an overpopulated planet, we'd turn the place into a dustball pretty quick too.
I choose to assume responsibility for what I am. Omnivorous. I eat what's available.
it's not going to stop brute-force dictionnary-based spam.
I find it especially annoying that gmail forwards me spam (albeit in my spam box) based on variants of "day.of.the.tentacle", eg dayofthe[whathaveyou]@gmail.com (yes, even without the dots between each word).
hahaha, won't the alpha centaurians be quite surprised when I announce that I own their whole system and I am their new overlord! hahaha
Ah, yes, but as the legal representative of Alpha Centauri here on Earth, I feel obliged to point out that your so-called ownership of this system would be intermittent, ie a small fraction of the Earth's 24 hour rotation time, if it were not for the fact that Alpha Centauri Prime is wholly owned by the current head of a monarchy, and as such, it owns everything extending infinitely in all direction from their planet.

my coffee mug made a Lucent logo on my desk... Can I take photos, host them on a brittle server and make a /, submission?
is there anything that hasn't been goatsified yet?
sweet mexican jesus!
If you're banned by the court to normally legal X activity, and you are caught doing X activity, then you can be fined and/or sent to jail.

How about a Tablet XBox?

I think Pro-Falun Gong spam would get the PRC government to move more quickly on this issue...

how am I supposed to find cheap labtops?
The alien hand on the War of the Worlds poster has its middle finger on top of Texas.
Not that it necessarily means anything...
how far-future archeologists are going to interpret our culture based on all the stuff we hoard.
Especially if they can recover and read our "digital" artifacts.
yea, that's one astronaut and one cosmonaut
Well, technically, they don't leave low Earth orbit, so I wouldn't call them astronaut/cosmonaut.
I think they should be called LEOnauts.
They do serve coffee on it. Man, when's the last time you saw that movie?

In the Return of the Jedi part, does he play Sebastian Shaw or Hayden Christensen?
it's an indication that slashdot has a LOT of subscribers who saw the article early and pre-slashdotted the site for us.
Most FPS games now have the option to make your character left or right handed when it's using an ae or something, so it's no more a surprise :)
In Unreal 2004, you can choose one of three positions -- left, right, or middle.
However, the game manual does not explain what body part you use to hold the weapon if you choose the "middle" position.
