I quite enjoy smoking. Cigarettes, Cigars, (don't smoke bud anymore, but I enjoyed that quite a bit too). Would quitting be better for me? Yes. Nobody's debating that. Should I have the right to choose if i want to sentance myself to a slow, painful, smokey death? Yes.
Odd, I could have sworn the troll was you. Just because you find cigarette smoke disgusting doesn't mean everyone does. Last time I checked, trolls tried to enforce their opinion on others. You know, kinda like the Christians in the Crusades. And boy howdy, THAT went well, didn't it?
normally i'm always totally down for the biological research and stuffs, but something about this just doesn't feel right... i mean, we're creating a lifeform here... iunno. I'm not gonna stop 'em, and certainly not on moral grounds (ain't got none of those left)... but something about this screams "Sci-Fi Horror Movie" to me:/
I'm talking about the pennance instituted by the catholic church. You know, the real law of the dark ages. Notice I said SIN and not CRIME. If you disagree, you can go have a discussion with my Human Sexuality Professor, and the makers of the textbook Crooks & Baur: Our Sexuality, 9th Edition. I'm sure they'd love to know that they're wrong. Besides, just because you can't find it doesn't mean it's wrong. Apparently you simply don't know how to research.
Oh, and no need to be a dick about it either. Dick.
Actually, during the middle ages, pulling out was considered THE biggest sin you could do. The punishment was even worse than the punishment for murder.
The 64-node FPGA machine will also need only as much space as four conventional PCs, while a normal 1 teraflop supercomputer would fill a room
Um, The Playstation 3 is spec'd at 2.2 Teraflops... and it's smaller then a miniATX desktop.
Mallrats was NOT a prequel to Clerks -- Anything that gave you this idea was fueled by Crack Cocaine. If you need that special extra be-certain-proof, check the DVD commentary.
This post goes against all that slashdot stands for.
A) People are gonna overclock whatever they can get their hands on.
B) Many slashdotters DO use more then that much speed. There's gaming and developer sections for a reason
C) It's all about speed. If it weren't, why would intel and amd even be in business? they could still be cranking out pIIs and whatnots and be doing just fine. Oh, but wait, people want to go FASTER.
D) Do a survey and I think you'll find most slashdotters own or have access to at least one machine with more than 1ghz of power. There are allways exceptionis, (like you) and exceptions are stupid.

There isn't a director on the planet who would do star wars more justice then kevin smith -- the ultimate fanboy. he has the knowledge, and the power to make the perfect star wars movie.
it'll never happen, but goddamn it would be awesome if it did.
99% of gun use is against people? I'm definately heavy supporter of gun control, but when you make up statistics, especially unquantifiable statistics, you just make your argument go to all hell. Stop lying like you know something. Have you ever been to a gun range? People shoot their guns more often at a gun range then they will EVER shoot their guns at any other point in time. Don't believe me? Take a look at the floor of a gun range. It's LITTERED with shells. Take a look at the floor of a crime scene. Just a few shells. Take a look at the forest floor. Probably just as many as at the crime scene. Stop being a jackass and use real statistics, or at least reason to prove your point.

This whole thing is really kinda unsettling.
That's exactly what he did. RTFA.

The fool thinks G4 is a reliable source of information. That alone should tell you to simply ignore his stupidity.
Tickets to see The Who and a van.
I not sure either. Well played sir.
Y3K won't be a problem, at least as far as the date problem goes. Y10K, on the other hand, will.
But who cares, we won't be around.
Don't mind me. Just nitpicking.
Talk to Matthew Lesko. I'm sure he'll know how.
You know, the question-mark guy from the infomercials.
Adult swim got good ratings, but it was the DVD sales that turned fox around, or so their official press release said.
"Jocks spend all their time thinking about sports... Nerds spend all their time thinking about sex."
Skyhooks were also in the remake of the cult cyberpunk anime classic, Bubblegum Crisis Megatokyo 2040. Good stuff.
it's now "our" computer. er, komputer.
in soviet russia...

YOU LOSE
I hardly found the original appealing. It was waay too campy. The new one is MUCH better. (Ratings alone should prove my point.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is an example of a Star Wars analogy gone too far.

It's news to me... and my trust AdBlock. :D
