    Correct. Mod parent up. The concept of 'Purgatory' was developed later by the Roman Catholic church.

    If I had mod points to give you, I'd mod you up. Nice joke. Parent is a Star Trek II reference.

    Actually, according to Nimoy in "I am Spock", that wasn't a prosthetic, it was all Montalban.

    Indeed. Nimoy has said the same thing in numerous television interview appearances.

    Montalban was a devout catholic not a atheist you twit

    Atheists aren't the only people who don't believe in Hell.

    But, yes, Montalban was a devout Catholic, and thus, believed in Hell.

    The key is not having to wire it up manually like some stereo speakers, but giving it a dedicated, foolproof, power connector that Joe Twelvepack who is slurping down his seventh can of Bud Light can easily and reliably plug and unplug while staggering around in the back of the server room until his shift ends.

    Don't blade servers kind of solve this problem already? The bus box already supplies a DC current to each of the blades, right?

    You make it sound suspiciously like "Windows Update," which doesn't have these problems...oh wait....nevermind.

    So I can watch my government officials with inserted annoying advertisements,

    Well, what business is Google in again? Right. Selling ad space.

    with crappy video that's blocky and looks like an angry fruit salad

    Serving up video is very bandwidth intensive. What were you expecting? A 1080p HD MPEG-4 with a 256 Mb/s Dolby 5.1 surround sound audio track?

    I can't save it to my own computer or give it to my friends because it would violate the TOS

    You can link it to share with your friends and as far as saving it goes, there's always the Video Downloader extension for Firefox, which will now even automatically transcode it for you (at least on Linux).

    Look...what's your alternative? You can already stream Congressional hearings live, and they also have a video library with all the highlights.

    What more do you want? Blu-Ray discs hand-delivered to your door?

    I wish we could just take all the lawyers that flagrantly violate court orders like that and put them in jail for contempt. Alas, our judicial system is such that these violations either go unnoticed or at least barely noticed by the district attorneys. They've got bigger fish to fry. But, man, once just once, one of them should teach these guys a lesson.

    No, no, no. This is Slashdot, not some schlock news site like Digg! You've gotta form your jokes right. This is perfect for a "related news" joke. See? Like this:

    "In related news, outgoing Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has authorized a $50 million bailout for the eight members of the Discount Buyer's and Travel Clubs Trade Association today. Details at 11."

    So if I stick my peen in MORE girls it LESSENS my chances of finding one with AIDS?

    No. Obviously not. The idea is based on a fictional, purely heterosexual world. The point was if there were MORE promiscuous women, your chances of getting AIDS from any one of them is much lower than if there were fewer promiscous women. But the converse is not true. Not matter how many promiscuous women there are, no matter what percentage of promiscuous women have AIDS, your chances of finding one with AIDS will always increase with the number you 'stick your peen into,' young padawhan.

    That's the whole point of Java-based visual model -- it helps to eliminate erroneous perceptions such as yours.

    Right. That's Verizon's 'premium' unlimited plan, which is like $10 extra. They also have an 'unlimited' plan that's $5 extra. That plan is anything but unlimited. As always, you have to read the fine print.

    If I didn't have an unlimited text plan

    Unlimited text plans usually aren't. My stepdaughter's boyfriend has 'unlimited text' through Verizon, and he ended up paying per message one month. Unlimited usually means 1,000 text messages or so a month.
