That's just how they ship your ashes if something goes wrong.
On that note, I wonder what impact it would have on space tourism if one of the commercial vehicles goes up like a space shuttle and kills everyone on board.
Would it spell the end of tourism flights in the same way that the Concord crash doomed that method of transportation as well?
Wow, in order to have saving from working at McDonalds you'd have to live in squalor for a couple of years. Or at least share a place with half a dozen roommates.
Were they living in really small towns where the rent was cheap, or larger urban centers and putting up with slum living?
Guess you haven't played any competitive FPS games then.
Try playing Q3 Rocket Arena at 30 FPS against someone of equal skill running at 90. You'd be surprised to see how it slants toward the guys running with higher framerates.
I ran HL2 on a 2.4 P4 with a Radeon 9700 at 800x600 and it still had some hitching and frame rate stuttering. With a fully defragged drive and a gig of RAM to boot.
If they're running it at 1600x1200 on a 9600, I'd be curious to know the other specs and performance as well. Some people accept 10 fps as playable. For others no less than 60 will do.
Look dumbass, if you read my comment I said why I didn't. I followed the link after and it provided absolutely nothing new.
In fact it left things out. Like the reason why the coffee is 20 degrees hotter. It's because the flavor percolation supposedly works better. They put a lot of research into temps and cook times there.
Yet people still scream over "the coffee is hot! oh my god!".
If you juggle knives and get stabbed do you sue the knife company?
Actually people like me don't sue for our own actions.
I had elective surgery a few years ago. There were complications that may have been caused by a mistake the doctor made during the process. I was conscious and aware at the time. Since then I've had recurring pain, and had to go through corrective surgery and may have to again. But I didn't sue. It was my choice to go through with the original surgery.
I tore tissue in my right leg when I slipped on ice carrying a 50 cal out of the armories while in the military. No lawsuit there.
And injured my back stopping a shelving unit from crushing a co-workers head in a retail store. Still no lawsuit.
People should take responsibility for their own actions. If I look down the barrel of a gun while cleaning it and shoot myself in the head because it was still loaded, should my family sue Smith & Wesson?
I didn't follow the parent link to the McDonald's case because there have been several overviews of the case in question posted here before. It doesn't matter if she was the passenger or the driver or riding a friggin pogo stick. They wanted coffee in the car, and they got it.
The McDonald's suit comes down to someone wanting a beverage known to be quite hot delivered to them in a car.
Regular coffee or super heated coffee, it was the consumers choice to buy it and use it in that environment. Tough luck if it spilled. Cars aren't mounted on gyroscopes and expected to be perfectly stable platforms.
If they buy coffee, go walking down the sidewalk and trip over a tuft of grass is it the city's fault?
What was that number in the news a while back? North American corporate officers receive something like 400 times the salaries of their European counterparts? It's ridiculous.
Easily as stupid as paying an athlete 90 million dollars to wear sneakers.

I wouldn't characterize them as editors, more like filters that simply allow or deny submissions.
That goatse.cx pic was imbedded in the selfbooting x86 Tiger easily enough.
Yuk.
Even better if some of it survives reentry.

Don't worry Ned, you can still pimp out Rod and Todd for profit. :)
This parents comment gets better every time it's reposted when there's any sort of RIAA story.
It's definitely not the first time this cut/paste job has found its way on to Slashdot.
If you look really closely you can see the itsy bitsy trailer hitch.

Oh, and don't forget the vomit factor. Some people can't handle 30 or 60 FPS without getting ill.
Get the framerate above that and they're shiny, happy, fraggers.

How exactly was this poster a troll?
It's a valid point.

Don't be silly. Those were actually messages to sleeper agents left over from the cold war.
Now excuse me, my ring tone just told me to kill Pat Sajak.
Really? I'm buying stock in Verbatim!

I'll take A), you seem to have B) all to yourself.
We've finally perfected the time travelling slashdot effect.
The next goal is to travel back to the year 2000, take out Yahoo, Dell, Amazon, and CNN, and blame it on some kid in #haxors.
I have two accounts, one I use to post from work and one from home.
My home account has excellent karma. I still had to enter the code to post.
If only they had done this in the US.
They'd already be counting their settlement money from George Lucas.
After the rapture I'm going looking for Kirk Cameron , and I'm bringing a heavy stick.
Coffin? We buried him in a...
Someone's at the door, be right back.
It won't, but you'll see lots of people getting on North American TV and saying it's wrong in the eyes of God.
If God didn't want us messing with DNA, why don't chemistry sets have a disproportionately high fatality rate?
"Look Daddy! I made my experiment go fizzy! AAAAAH IT BURNS!!"
If God has a problem with it, he can contact us directly instead of using his earthly PR firms :)

Well, if anyone knows "incompotence" it's someone who fucks up 3 out of 9 words :P
