For an interesting perspective, check out the Skeptic's Annotated Bible, of course it's biased, but it breaks down the absurdities, contradictions, and logical fallacies pretty thoroughly on a verse-by-verse basis. For added fun, check out the Quran and the Book of Mormon.
Actually, he would just bend the crap out of the spoon beforehand, until the middle pivot point was flimsy enough to bend easily. I love this clip from the Tonight Show where Johnny Carson provides him with unaltered props and Uri refuses to perform a psychic phenomenon. Oh, it's introduced by Randi... Link
I'm with you folks calling for Diablo 3. I was retarded hooked on Diablo 2 for waay too long. The only thing that would completely prevent me from investing in D3 would be a monthly subscription. It's what kept me away from WoW and Lineage and a handful of others with real promise. I'm sorry, but $50-60 + $180/year is just idiotic for a video game.
Yeah, this is hardly anything out of the ordinary. Watch a football game some time. At the end it has a whole long disclaimer about how it's solely the property of X channel, must have written permission blah blah blah. This article is just trying to rouse some shit up.
The issue, however, is the potential for abuse. My immediate reaction was also that this could be an awfully efficient way to filter content, but it reeks too much like the first step to being able to ban porn in geographic locations (being based in Utah), or the "morally superior" ISP's could use this to prevent access to their entire subscriber base.
This article is pretty lacking on facts. It's called 802.22, or WRAN (Wireless Regional Area Network). The AP's use GPS linked to an FCC database to determine which frequencies (between 54 and 862 MHz) are available. It sounds pretty promising, supposedly 25,000 simultaneous users over a 10 mile radius at 1.55 Mb. (another link)
No way, everyone knows the earth was populated when Lord Xenu flew a bunch of souls down in a DC-8 and stuck them in a volcano and blew up the volcano. Duh.
I make up slightly less than the difference with a generous tip. It's win-win. I paid less than the amount of food I ate, the waiter(ess) gets their tip, the restaurant probably isn't too hurt by it.

Ewww, you mean I'm drinking dinosaur piss?
Yeah, but this model comes with Duke Nukem Forever.
DC-8's, actually.

Ummm, yeah. She still got caught though, right?
Thanks a lot for the link. Now my eyes are burning from that godawful choice of colors.

Or maybe they'll just start a civilization on Bender. All hail the Great Metal Lord.

I hope they catch as much crap for this as Yahoo and Google have for their apparent misconduct on their Chinese counterparts.

Breakfast of Champions got me hooked. But Slaughterhouse 5 is the best known.
That's exactly what I thought. I was half expecting it to be followed up with "Oh by the way, they said your mom is fat."
I would at least expect it to come with a $1500 keyboard.
Yeah, and output it to two of these
Nuff said. Next question.
Reminds me of this assclown. Michael Crook, to be specific.

Perhaps the miniscule chance that all the /. traffic might result in a few ad-clicks?
Wouldn't SP2 be fixing the second round of bugs?
