Thank God, we were all waiting with baited breath to know.
Seriously though, isn't this basically just some stupid press release from a magazine that very few people subscribe to about something they're about to do that is of no real consequence whatsoever?
The pro-iPod article mentions "Personal Touch" as a plus for the iPod. It's a fine product and all but there is nothing even remotely personal or individual about the ipod. A second-hand t-shirt has more personality.
The response is simple: If you're from Texas, call your state legislator and urge them to vote against it. If you're not from Texas then kindly shut the fuck up.
Orkut is still around?
I mean I guess I still have an account on there, but it's been quite a while since I logged on - mostly becuase the people I knew on orkut were the same I knew from friendster.com who were the same from friendzy.com who were the same from tribe.net...
This is why people hate reading slashdot, because there are some people that try to make everything political. Our response should be a positive one, like how much money can slashdotters raise to help the tsunami victims; not "Why is Bush a prick?","The UN blows", or the like.
Did anyone else think of Gonzo from The Muppet Movie?
Are they skipping a step?

Ok, I RTFA and the brain seems to be able to control a simulated airplane, but does the brain know... ...what bad weather is ...why it should avoid bad weather ...what a horizon is ...even what an airplane is
in other words, does it really know why it's doing what it's doing.
I don't think that TDS is a smart show exactly, rather I think Jon Stewart is trying to educate us (in his own way) what is (or should be) basic political knowledge - his method is just a little different. I think it is definately one of the most effectively educational shows about politics and the American political system, but that is partly due to the fact that many other news sources are so uninformative.
We want to think The Daily Show is a smart show because we want to think of ourselves as smart for watching it. Why do you think think everyone here is jumping in to brag (in so many words) that they watch it and adore it?
What if the cop was a new officer on the beat and just made a dumb mistake? They learned their lesson and he'll move on...isn't this the simplest explanation?
Hey, because of Whitney Houston's drug problems, my mom got to sit second-row at the Academy Awards a couple years ago. Whitney and her hubby don't show up, so they pick my mom and some other guy, who are both there as seat fillers, to fill the empty second-row seats for the whole show. (The Academy doesn't want to show empty seats on TV) See kids, drugs can make neat things happen, albeit for other people.
Rent/Buy/watch Thunderheart with Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard & Graham Greene. Kilmer & Shepard are FBI agents investigating a murder on a Lakota reservation in the Badlands and Greene plays a tribal cop. One of my all-time top-five favorite movies.
I think Moore has fallen prey to that old folly: He takes himself to seriously. Watch his earlier film Roger & Me - to me it combines just the right amount of outrage & irreverence. By presenting the sad facts about poor Flint, Michigan the viewer can come to their own conclusions. Bowling for Columbine comes across to me as more like religious evangelism.

Disco record sales from 1977-1979 were up 400%. If these trends continue...Hey!
Just for the record, I didn't think "episode one" was bad - just boring.

The website says they run on petrol, but we use gas in the US - these will never work!
This website is so suspicious, it should have a CBS logo on it somewhere.

slashdot definition:
Because I don't have [insert product or service here], [said product or service] is dead!
According to the photos page it just has USB 1.1 and only one USB port.
Come on people - It's funny.
"When I'm 64" from Sargent Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band
Psychos in Love circa 1987.
A "horror/suspense" about two psycho killers that fall in love. Delightfully bad and it revels in its own hideousness.
Or replying to posts on slashdot. Wait a minute...
The Norfolk Southern railroad has used a variation of this idea for years in their Triple Crown Service.

This can potentially turn into a mobilization of the masses...
Like the Howard Dean campaign!

But when the Chinese government "cracked down" on Google, that was bad.
So when it's for our convenience, it's OK?

You got a problem with my fetish for killing devices? What are you some kinda' commie?
