This is possible if you live in a big city. However, most Americans live in some sort of suburb. The closest resaurant to my house is a Dairy Queen, a fast food restaurant that specializes in ice cream but also servers burgers and chicken fingers, and it's about 4 miles away with no sidewalks once you leave the neighborhood. The next restaurant is a Bar-B-Que joint about two more miles away and across a busy interstate freeway.
Good point. Compare with mexican suburbs and cities. Every little town has quik-e-marts all around. And drugstores, little-shops-around-the-corner...
Where I live in (Mexico city) there's a fruits store 2 blocks from my house. 2 blocks in the other direction there's a tiny quick-e-mart, and there's a little-shop-around-the corner in my block's corner where i buy chocolates, candies, water, bread and soda.
If that wasn't enough, every friday the flea market (here these are known as 'tianguis', it's an ancestral tradition that comes from the aztecs) comes to an avenue 1 block from my house, where i can buy fresh meat, fish, tropical fruits, etc.
Of course, I can buy general stuff for my house at the bigger store that is one block from my job (no huge walmart, just a one-story building) where i can buy milk, plumbery stuff, etc. Then I take a cab home, only takes 10 minutes.
Oh yeah. 3 blocks away from home there's a Domino's pizza.
This is the difference, i can do all my shopping by walking and i don't lose much time. No 30-minutes drives.
Did you guys remember how Teflon(TM) was non-biodegradable? Well, the Teflon guys modified E.Coli to digest Teflon. Ta-da, problem solved:)
See, this is one of the good parts about genetic engineering, I recall other bacteria being used in water treating plants to process cyanide (was it on Discovery where I saw it?). To prove the non-toxicity of the water they used fish in the outstream. The fish was breathing without problems.
* Switch light bulbs for fluorescent bulbs * Replace bulky monitors for flat screens * Incentivate low-power CPU's * Invest in information campaigns about not using home electronics in stand-by mode * Invest in solar power R&D for home applications * Incentivate usage of bycicles instead of cars, change the infrastructure of cities to provide smaller stores in more places rather than huge walmarts 10 miles from home
Also, I have the feeling it's running PHP, because it says "Welcome, slashdot!". So it's using scripting alright. It's not JUST a simple text page, it's scripted.
OK that ought to be a start:) Now, onto the vulnerabilities search! I wonder if it still has the PHP XML-RPC vulnerability. hmmmm....
What is the use of a blog, period? Does anybody actually read these damn things?
Most blogs are written by people who want to feel contact with the world, it's a search for being understood. Whenever you get a response, you feel like someone understands you.
Or maybe it's just a hobby. But who cares, if you're not harming anyone and it makes you feel better...
Don't purchase survival horror games. Results might be counterproductive. This is SPECIALLY true if the hospital you're in is called "Brookhaven Hospital":P
Well, if the bible can't be taken literally, it is worthless. If it's open for interpretation, I could interpret it to mean something good or terrible.
And THAT is why catholics believe in an authority to give us ONLY ONE correct interpretation of the bible.
Revelations should be removed from the bible. It was proven wrong when Nero died.
This is the problem with literal interpretation of the Bible. Symbols in biblical prophecies can have more than one meaning. It could be Nero AND another antichrist. I recall the book of Daniel when the angel told the prophet that (some symbol) meant various different things.

Do I have to call the firemen or tech support?

Any other ideas?
Does not the deliberate creation of a living creature to have a specific disability of some sort seem in some way cruel or inhumane? Or is it just me?
I assume these mice are for lab tests.
from TFA "Microsoft's goal is to file 3,000 patents per year."
I'd rather have them fix 3,000 bugs per year.
It's 'cos clothes might get torn off, exposing boobies.
Trust me, there's nothing sexual in an angry woman. Not even with her body exposed. It'd look like some kind of monster... *shudder*
It's HTML silly. He put that in there because the site was slashdotted...it's not detecting the referenced URL.

i find this feasible. It's a BSD-style license (wink wink, nudge nudge) so this means it's perfectly applicable for an "embrace and extend" operation.

In related news, hell just called tech support for one of their heaters. Minor issue, however. Will be fixed in a couple of months.
Can you honestly say it's the -only- religion founded in such a way? Jesus loved to get his drink on, and who -knows- what Judas dared him to do.
Yeah, but Jesus didn't write the prophecies of Isaiah about the Christ. And Jesus didn't obtain millionaire gains from selling books and gadgets.
Don't forget to add which sequel if your answer is "Final Fantasy"!
All the subsequent Final Fantasy games are NOT sequels. The only (and infamous) exception is Final Fantasy X-2 which is a sequel of (obviously) FF-X.

Just include adblock by default in Firefox. Then promote it as one of the advantages of using Firefox over IE.
