There also seems to be a bit of a concept burned into peoples brains where numbers are of some sizes are ignored. People will say 10 to 12 but not 11 or 13 for some reason. 14 seems to be skipped in favor of 15.
Maybe that's because people who design and build rooms tend to stick to rounder numbers like 10, 12 & 15. It's instinct.
Well Greedo being a bounty hunter, if he did in fact shoot first and missed, thus allowing Han to shoot and kill him, he wasn't very good at his job and probably would have wound up dead far earlier in his career.
But in Demolition Man, there's a presidential library or something named after him with the explanation that due to popular demand the repealed that part of the constitution.
The "3rd party vote is a wasted vote" meme probably originates from the campaign planning sessions of the two major political parties. That way, even if left completely to random fluke, they still have a 50/50 chance, and they only have to worry about slinging mud at one target.
Besides, the average American doesn't want to do the research necessary to formulate an opinion about more than two candidates. (Most just accept the opinions spoon fed to them by the Media, whichever way you think it's biased)
Just because the politics section's first story is American-centric doesn't mean it won't have any non-American articles. Sure, it'll probably be dominated by American articles, but they (the slashdot people) are American, it's their site. I'd also wager that a high percentage of readers are also American.
No one (that I know of) is forcing anyone to read articles or comments from any of the sections, except maybe 'IT', because of its color scheme.
Was populous the game wherein you are a diety and can raise and lower land, and have your followers attack other people, and cause floods, and whatnot?
If it is, is it available currently in any format? As I remeber having played something like that some time ago, and the name sounds familiar.
the information that was posted is publicly available
I don't think the Secret Service is interested in the fact that information was made easily available, but rather, the intent of the people for which the information ws made easily available.
If it's public knowledge that the sole intent was to harrass and intimidate those who's information was posted, then the secret service (or whomever) should try to track those rabblerousers down.

If you analyze the trend more closely, you'll see there's only six options left (unless you pronounce the last one "zed"). B, C, P, T, V and Z
If you include numbers you get an additional 1 option. 3
Those are the only letters or umbers, when pronounced in American English, that rhyme with E. Thus rhyming with email.
Personally, I want to start mcsquaredmail. It's equal to email, but for the physices community.
The ol' Greeks (no, not Geeks) thought their youth were morons, and civilization would fall.
Wasn't there a period of time in that 3000 years where it could be considered that civilization did fall, or at least stumble? (at least in Europe)

What about semaphore flags and Slashdot?
Does this mean we can finally play "ET the Extra-Terrestrial" again?
I mean that the government know that you're a citizen already
Yeah, but the government doesn't want to pay to send ballots to people who aren't even motivated enough to register to vote.

Why? 'yro.slashdot.org' isn't 'yrousa.slashdot.org'.

Didn't the babel fish need the brain waves of the speaker? If so, would it work on written material?
production levels across the nation dipped visibly when Adventure first came out
Kind of like Slashdot?
Why doesn't somebody make a game based off of a fictional game?
Like "Maze of the Minotaur" (or whatever it was called) that was made by the Riddler on Batman: the Animated Series.
And it's not even *all* of the nothing. What a gyp.

Isn't the parent just a rehashed rant from one of the movies in which Jay and Silent Bob appeared?
If so, wouldn't funny be a better mod than flamebait.
Vulgar (Name of the movie)
The movie itself is, well, vulgar. It's up there in the top five brain alteringly disturbing movies.
Maybe he lost the sleep because after reading it he realized how vulnerable his network was.
I'm able to be sarcastic, just not detect it.
Here's a political assassination.
Ehud, a left-handed man of god slays Eglon, a very fat king.
Judges 3:15-22
What did you mean by "single sentence" exactly?
Psalms 137:9 - Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Yeah, but this is slashdot. Noebudy hear needz spelchek.
