Um, how is Pixar's stuff the same movie again? What exactly do Monster's Inc. and The Incredibles have in common? Or are you saying that all family friendly CGI cartoons where the good guys win are the same movie?
Some software bugs manifest in rare cases, and can only be found by code inspection or luck. Unless you work with languages that allow 100% guaranteed mathematical proofs of correctness.
Why is it that back in Biblical times, people like Abraham & Moses used to live several hundred years? Did they all have cancer? (Assuming that cancer is an anti-aging program)
It's really quite simple. The early people had nearly perfect genes (you know, made in God's image and all that), but since God only really created two (and the second one was basically a clone of the first one but with the Y chromosome taken out and the X duplicated again) there was a LOT of inbreeding going on. Which isn't all that bad, with nearly perfect genes, but it adds up. And then, just as there were plenty of people around again, God drowns nearly everyone and it's back to inbreeding....
Pffft, nobody can guess my password, 'hunter2'. I know you only see '*******' there, but I actually typed in my real password. This is one feature I'm really glad Slashdot stole from IRC.
It matters very much. If the project is cancelled, few will remember it in 10 years. It is so much cooler to have a game permanently in development behind closed doors.
Um, who the hell is marking this flamebait? AT&T employees? The phishers? I'm really at a loss here. And yes, I realize I'll probably be modded down as "flamebait" or "troll" or something.
Still a moving target. What was wrong with the single close button on the right?
Because that means you can only quickly close the tab that's currently open?
Personally, I'm happy with the tab-clicking extension that allows me to double-click a tab to close it. Though I have a sneaky suspicion that this may be at least one of the extensions contributing to massive memory usage. Not sure how, but it's a feeling I get.
I can see it now - people arrested for having porn of themselves acting as the victim. (Kinda like that 15 year old girl charged with child abuse for creating/distributing porn of herself).
The human eye has a "design" error..... snip.... All this is one more argument for evolution and against the "intelligent design" theory.
So if you were the lead designer of an MMORPG, would you create a class that's the best at everything? The Architect obviously didn't want us to be too munchkinish.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll keep on trying SQL Injection attacks on this Universe app.
Actually in Diablo 1 there was no Amazon character, only a Rogue:)
Still, the thing about Diablo was that stats for different classes had different effects. A Rogue with the same exact stats as a Warrior would have more mana, less health, do more damage with a bow, and less damage with melee weapons. So, for example, you had to pump more points into vitality to raise the Rogue's hit points compared to the Warrior's. And they still topped-out a lot faster.
Hey, I remember playing that game with classmates on the computer in our 7th (might have been 8th) grade homeroom! We also played the shareware of a somewhat disturbing breakout-style game called something like "Bouncing Bob" where the "ball" was a guy from a mental hospital and the "paddle" was a stretcher moved around by two hospital workers desperate to keep Bob from winding up a red puddle. Then later in science class we played Doom and One Must Fall 2097.

Come on, man, Cowboy Bebop is so 20th century..... Get with the program and watch some Samurai Champloo already.

I read it as "Bedroom Spying Debacle at HS." And I wasn't too suprised.

Um, what train? And what's so impressive about a train going 37 mph?
Well personally, I was considering growing a completely new brain from scratch and replacing the old one with it, none of this neuron-by-neuron mess ;)
Note where GP said "1) Regrow organs that have worn out." The human brain is an organ, no?
GP is not contradicting his own argument. You are lacking reading comprehension.

What the hell are you talking about? Did you even read the summary? This bill is a Good thing. The corrupt hack is the guy who's delaying it.
Remember, pretty much the only economic engines in Alaska are Oil and Government.
Oil seems to be rather profitable lately. Why do they need federal funds for anything?

You slightly messed up the link HTML. The comment is here.
And add "any hacker who gets can break into the systems of such an organization."
I know it's rather selfish, but I'd rather reduce the risk of spilled mercury in my home than reduce mercury emmissions in the environment.

Kind of reminds me of the original Diablo....
Wait, are we talking about Piers Anthony now?
V?
