How can you really trust any random information from the internet?
There is plenty of information on the internet that may be "wrong", and most people take this information, accept it, and learn from it.
How can you teach a computer to know if something IS true without manually educating it using knowledgeable persons (professors, doctors) in the particular area?
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of letting it spider and index on it's own?
Actually, if i'm not mistaken, didn't the rotation of the moon slow down to this point because of how long it's been revolving around the earth, that it just 'equaled out'?
Exactly. I recently installed and ran complete, deep scans on each of my hard drives, something I have not done since my last reformat, about a year ago. Ignoring the few... uh, "tools" it happened to pick up, there was nothing found. Even my HijackThis logs are clean as a bell.
Don't you think if, after all the trouble they've gone through trying to make this game, let alone fix everything that went wrong in trying to release it, they would have made steam a little more secure than adding the game to the user's "My Games" list and allowing them to download updates for it before it was even verified serverside? While I agree that the 20,000 people who pirated this are in the wrong, I think they should be a little more secure with their client programs. The download "trick" didn't even require any kind of crack or form of code manipulation, using a cd-key linked with HL2 automatically allowed them Steam access to it, and _then_ checked to see if it was okay. There are always going to be people pirating games. Steam's faulty design just made it easier.
Why do they always say "mysterious" disease? If they don't know anything else about it, why isn't it just referred to as an "unknown" disease? "Mysterious disease" just sounds like a cover up for some guy who ran into the dolphin with a boat, or something.
When you're in Zero-G you need to exercise ALOT to keep your muscles from turning to mush. On earth where there is gravity, you are always using your muscles to walk around and carry your own weight, but without gravity most of them are never used, so you need to exercise just to keep those muscles in the condition that they are in on earth.
No wonder why so many people thought the US reaching the moon was a hoax.
Just this afternoon I pondered if Linux supported C++ like this. With Slashdot I don't have to go out of my way and do things like being social to get things answered anymore. Thanks, Slashdot, for ensuring my nerdyness!
It's been a while since i've been to any science class, but I was still under the assumption that we couldn't even see atoms themselves, how are they able to know it even exists? Can someone please fill me in on what i've missed while i've been living under my rock the past few years?

Actually, that technically isn't being serious, it's probably better described as a funny joke.

Actually, it IS color coded.

How strangely... ironic?
Slashdot slashdotted.
It's funny, because I had to use Wikipedia just to figure out what the heck an epistemologist is.

Every city i've ever lived in uses the same thing, I figured every city uses these?

For a second there I wondered if he got stuck.

And now it's going to be slashdotted. :rolleyes:
