Wait, what?! Were we watching the same dark, rain-drenched, crime-ridden, slum-filled movie? The one where gibberish-speaking midgets jack people's cars and creepy men in fur coats construct eyeballs?
Well, considering that unwound, the average length of a DNA molecule in a human chromosome is about 5 centimeters long, I'd say it's pretty good compression...
I guess mathematics is the hardest science, since hard sciences are required to be mathematically rigorous. However, most people also require hard sciences to be, um, sciences...
Riiiight...the rural upstaters are pulling in the big money to pay the bills for New York City, a place whose gross metropolitan product was 488 billion in 2003 (just 2 years after 9/11).
telephone calls placed using analog cell phones and many cordless phones are very easily intercepted with simple radio receivers (even though it is illegal to sell those receivers in the US)
I used to pick up my parent's cordless phone conversations on my 50 dollar stereo, simply by tuning it to the 91 FM band. Illegal paraphenalia? I mostly used it to listen to CDs.
I'm afraid you're a thousand years behind the curve, my friend. You don't think that religious thinkers of all three have considered the possibility and grappled with it already?
Here, here. Get on a bus in Manhattan and you'll have a relatively quiet ride. Do the same in Staten Island (aka New Jersey Jr.) and you'll have pseudo-thugs bragging and talking loudly or insulting other passengers, picking fights, and trying to scam rides with their school-issued passes.
Even without Dear College giving me a laptop, I've managed to avoid wasting money on textbooks by using online resources. Finding the literature from your typical English course is trivial, and (this being the Internet) there are hundreds of science and math sites aimed at students. However, I've also done plenty of printing. Paper is simply easier to manipulate and doesn't hurt my eyes as much.
I sometimes listen to WFMU's archives or streaming broadcast online, because their signal is so weak. The sad thing is, they're only a few miles away, in the next state over.

It's propaganda. It doesn't have to make rational sense. It's all about the emotional appeals.

Finally? C'mon, Zonk's been here a while.
Martin Luther, is that you?

Would we still think squirrels are cute if we called them "tree rats"?
What a coincidence! The "Vast Wasteland" speech was made in 1961!

Holy crap, one different gene?! They must be a different species! Why are you trusting what your crackpot history teacher has to say about genetics?
Who cares if the guy is right or if he's a quack, let's plaster it all over the front page to sell papers!

The irony is that Timothy is implying that this kid is ignorant and superficial...based purely on what he is wearing.
...except most Slashdotters have never been inside a box to begin with.

I'd much rather know about the US government microwaving people than the latest on Grand Theft Auto, myself. It seems...more important.
The posts are very entertaining. They're written by the collective lovechild of AOL and GameFAQs users.

I wonder if it can hover.
"Phillip C. Dick" was his porn name.
So there's this rumor that nobody has heard of until Gamespot reported it. And it's not true. Thanks, Slashdot, I really feel informed!
