Sure, Slashdotters might get angry and send off snail mail/email/faxes to whoever they're angry at. But we're a minority.
The MAJORITY are just too complacent with their lives. They're happy within their immediate environment. They may think it's not right, but they'll never take the action against it. It's too much of a hassle.
So instead they just acceot it. Windows crashing is obviously not so much of an inconvenience that they must storm Redmond. It's easier to push the reset button.
Living forever would not be a one time deal. It's not like you would do the treatment and *BAM*, you're set forever.
Like with cars, to keep it running forever would require many fixes and treatments. The same would apply to live forever.
Imagine the cost for each treatment.
As with the same for cars, we can tinker the engine each time but eventually it'll need a complete replacement. Infinite amount of tweakings will not make the car run forever.
The same would apply for living forever.
So I ask again, will living forever be worth it when most of your organs have been replaced or you can no longer afford to get the replacements and simply pay for the tweakings?
What's the point of living forever if your body is fragile and weary. Living forever does not mean you'll be in stasis mode for growing...or shrinking. Just like a car, the body organs do eventually wear out. Will I be a cyborg strapped in a wheelchair by the age of 200? Is that really living?
Michael Powell isn't terribly concerned. "Better data is needed," Powell admits. "But the data we have is still valuable." Who most benefits from the "value" of that data is the billion dollar question.
Has Michael Powell really become this useless?
Top DVD, not Top Movie

Top 50 DVDs

· Score: 1
So looking through these posts, it seems that this list is suppose to be the Top 50 best selling DVDs, which is a really stupid list to post.
Anyways, you want the top rated movies? Here's a much better list:
Okay, this isn't just the top 50 DVDs but the top 50 DVDs of all time? And how is UO qualified for this?
I mean, give me a break:
#39: Hellboy??
#37: Black Hawk Down??
#31: Daredevil??
I'm not saying these are bad movies, but to be considered to be in the top 50 all time best DVDs?
Also, they listed trilogy packs. So does that mean with #2 Alien Quadrilogy that Alien, Aliens, Alien3 and Alien Resurrection are all equally qualified to be the 2nd best DVD of all time?
So what sort of vortex/blackhole/space-time rip will I open up if I use my cell phone to take a picture of my friend who's listening to his iPod while playing the latest Gameboy?
Content aside, the amount of time kids spend playing games, even the good ones, is contributing to the obesity epidemic among American youth. For too many kids, the only parts of their body they are exercising are their thumbs. We are particularly concerned, therefore, about the launch of games this year aimed at children as young as two. We know that the industry wants to expand its customer base and that it is in their economic interest to hook babies on games. This trend, however, raises serious implications for our children's health.
Children going to the movies and eating butter-loaded popcorn gain weight. Blame the movie theaters! Children sitting at home watching too much TV and eating too many snacks gain weight. Blame the TV stations! Children who sit around and play too many video games gain weight. Blame the video game industry!
I have an idea, how about we start blaming the parents and caretakers of these children for allowing them to be so inactive. It's not the video game industries responsibility to make sure children are participating in outdoor exercises. Besides, I do remember a game called Dance Dance Revolution that was such a big hit that you can now play it at home. I'd say that's a damn good indication that the industry can create games that are physically healthy.

Parent post might be a bit misinformed. By the way, what does "aggressively backwards compatible" actually mean??
Anyways, the biggest redesign with PHP5 is its Object-Oriented Model. It now reflects to what a true OO model should be such as Private and Protected Members, Final, Private, Protected and Static Methods, class abstraction, Interfaces and a standardized constructor and destructor syntax.
The backwards compatibility comes from everything else with PHP. Pretty much all the functions remain intake though you may need to consult php.net for further information.
So they're reducing the amount this gene is about to produce this protein. Is there a reason why cats produce this protein and by reducing it cause any health issues with the cat?

The health benefits of beer has been known for the past few years. Some have even mentioned that it's healthier than wine all together as it has a high concentration of the vitamin Bs, something the body doesn't usually get enough of. But that's usually only in the dark beers (porters and stouts). All you Bud, Coors, Miller and Michelob drinkers are losing out on the health benefits.
Slackware has had swaret for quite some time. I've been using it since 9.0 and it's come in handy many times. It checks each package install to see if all libraries are up to date and recommends, downloads and installs whatever you're missing.

Stay tuned for my reviews of Zork, Space Quest and the highly popular Doom! You can use a keyboard and mouse with it!
Plus, the new multiplayer for Doom! It's amazing!

Has there been any thought about adding microphones to these planetary rovers? I would be very interested to know what it sounds like on Mars.

Okay, so they fixed it. I guess we do have decent eyesite.
So does by linking the entire article description mean that most Slashdotters are having poor eyesite problems? It's getting harder and harder to see where the little mouse cursor is located so screw it, just link the whole damn thing and click-click-click away til you get it.

And I want to add, a Guinness has the same amount of calories as a light beer.
PHP version when that question was asked.

So what would CmdrTaco say now for PHP5?
Or, in other words, it needs package management.
