We've looked for decades for other planets similar to ours without finding them.
That really has more to do with the fact that our technology is not capable of finding small planets yet. Even huge gas giants only affect distant stars in such a small way that they are at the limits of our detection threshold.
was that Jobs underwent a brain enhancement procedure which enables him to sufficiently focus his mental RDF energy for use as a telepathic weapon.
Apple will house the new weapon, tentatively codenamed iDontThinkSo in an underground bunker beneath their Cupertino campus.
Because of Mr Jobs' prolific temper, executives were initially concerned about the potential for misuse the weapon presented and the possibility of its use against enemies who were not truly dire. For this reason, a killswitch was installed to be controlled remotely via Phil Schiller's iPhone.
Analysts predict the new weapon will bolster the company's share price by at least 20% and should by them enough time to complete the fully cybernetic Jobs 2.0.
Problem is you have to be at speeds greater than mach 5-6 to ignite a scramjet engine. And the current prototypes have achieved that speed with, you guessed it, rockets.
So you aren't really saving that much rocket fuel unless we build some kind of super powerful regular jet capable of getting to that speed. At that point though you have a vehicle with a very complex jet, scramjet, and rocket which would probably be so elaborate to design and construct that it would be prohibitively expensive.
Bainwol: Lying? Baseless. We merely "made available" to Congress our statement that we would stop. You have no proof that we actually had intention to do so.
It was actually revealed that their real motivation behind the Apple team's efforts is to build an uber sophisticated intelligent computer system capable of downloading Steve Jobs' brain in case he becomes too ill to continue his role as RDF overlor...er...CEO.
certificates should be purchasable for whole domains
They are. You don't have to buy a new cert for every subdomain. If you have a lot of subdomains to secure the best solution is to get a wildcard certificate.
I'm not so sure. Yes, that has been true of most other social networking sites. However I think Facebook is more of a unique case. They are the first site I think that could finally get it right. They have consistently thought about how to keep people on board by adding things that enhance the value of social networking to their users rather than just being fancy looking useless features. Facebook has the broadest appeal currently. MySpace was never that popular with older folks (probably because of the mind numbing psychedelic layouts), but they have come to use Facebook.
Something better might still come along, but its going to have to be pretty good, and I don't see it completely replacing Facebook in a year.
Even if this dude is appointed, he can't unilaterally make law that will censor anything. And even if he pushes for that, the SCOTUS has been heavily against any censorship of the internet for many years, so I would hope they would strike down any such efforts.
So the question remains, do aggressive children just naturally want to play more aggressive games, or does playing games actually cause aggression, or is there another factor that causes both?
I agree, I've always thought there should be a distinction between mere piracy (taking something for free) and illegally profiting from infringement. There's been a push in the US to equate the two, which I think is a mistake. In the majority of cases involving piracy, the person obtaining the work is not going to pay for it anyway (they just want it for free), so even though it is against the law the original creator is not losing any money. When people are paying someone else for the work that does not own it, that is a direct illegal transfer of money that should be going to the copyright holder.
Slashdot Mirror
IANA has in place an agreement that as soon as one of the RIRs is assigned one of the five final /8s
You DO NOT talk about the final five. That is against your programming.
How did they get fuel for the fricking jet skis?
AFB Media Exec: Hey IT guy, can our server handle the load if I post a 26 gigapixel image to slashdot?
IT Guy: Of course it can, we run BSD, which as you know, is not....
Dude get a sense of humor. I'm not a creationist.
Are you sure that flood didn't happen 5 thousand years ago?
You make the same mistake as those who equate Glenn Beck's or Sean Hannity's views with the views of Fox.
You really think Roger Ailes disagrees with the tripe Hannity and Beck spew? Somehow I don't.
Not really, because with porn it's more about the equipment you have than your skill level in using it.
I wonder how many Mac people will get the dogcow reference in 2009.
In that case, just don't bring motherfucking pot on a motherfucking plane. :)

Will Republic credits be accepted for passage aboard space vessels in such a deserted region as Mohave?
then maybe I could actually read the article. ;)

500 per year? We get our wildcard certs from rapidssl for 200 a year.
Ah, ok. wasn't aware of that.

There's huge value in any website with millions of daily visitors.
If you had said "proven, long-term, sustainable value", then I might agree.

Yet another case proving that as soon as children enter the decision making process, rationality goes out the window.
Even if this dude is appointed, he can't unilaterally make law that will censor anything. And even if he pushes for that, the SCOTUS has been heavily against any censorship of the internet for many years, so I would hope they would strike down any such efforts.
But correlation does not imply causality.
