Given: No massive particle can travel at or faster than c
I'd prefer "particle with non-zero real mass" - there may be no experimental evidence for imaginary-mass tachyons, but they're still a cool concept and I believe GR allows them.
How many slashdotters are in the US? A lot of us aren't directly affected by US law, and while it can be argued that we have an interest in ensuring that it stays relatively sane, we've got a bigger interest in our own countries' laws.
Trust me, no one in Mexico or Canada would have any trouble finding the US on a map
I wasn't talking about people in Mexico or Canada. I was talking about people in the US who can't find the US on a map. But it turns out I misremembered: it was only 11% of people in the US who couldn't find it.
To get a permanent seat on the UN Security Council seems to require nuclear weapons as a minimum - and that wasn't good enough for Israel (okay, they still deny having them), Pakistan and India to get seats.
The cynical is often right, but not invariably. Although they're rare, there are places which host your content for free without auto-inserting ads into it.
I presume you're speaking from a U.S. context here. Was the ruling that all EULAs are invalid or that shrink-wrap EULAs are invalid? I thought the latter.
Without wishing to flame: are you aware of the meaning of the word "plural"? If so, do you consider the subject line to be irrelevant in providing context for a comment?

so maybe we are talking about Anaquiz which seems to help you memorize the dictionary (is this why he doesn't know words' meanings but knows which are legal?)
Most tournament-level Scrabble players know lots of words without knowing their meanings.

I've played Boggle where you were allowed words from any language except English. But official Scrabble rules say that your word must be in a certain dictionary - I think it's Chamber's.
Rugby football, American football, Australian Rules Football, Association football? And for the latter, at least, the pitch size has tolerances which mean the area can vary by something like 50%...

What's the difference?
Incidentally, why that particular value? Do you often e-mail ISO images?

I had no idea that it means "woman" in Spain. "Mujer" is the only word for "woman" I was taught.
I'd guess Take the Money and Run. Played on rockandroll.fm quite a bit.

It's not filtering *ads*, but ^(.*\.)?ads\..* - and that's quite reasonable. How many valid URIs are there matching that pattern?

Shouldn't that be "Anyone on /. who ever RTFA and doesn't agree with this is a hypocrite"? Or is DDoS okay when it isn't malicious?
Since when does a shell constitute "weapons"?

Sorry, should have made it clear that the context was the comment about the police being able to ask you for ID if you're walking.
Another example is Korea - there's one Korean team at the Olympics representing both North and South Korea.
But you're not required to carry ID are you?
Absolutely awful. My compliments.
You mean you're too well co-ordinated to do that on Earth?
