The site itself is obviously meant for a laugh, but not being able to click "view banned sites" and have it disappear is beyond a joke. It works for other sites, but not this one, dammit.
picture this - there are lots of people, working on a project for free. Someone joins in. This person works hard, and constantly. Suddenly you realize that this person is getting PAID to do your hobby work. Personally, if such a situation were to happen to me, I'd lose all incentive to continue working on this project.
they bleeped out "sparkle" like it was a swear word.
Well now, I suppose there isn't any point in the bleeping, if you can tell what the word is... I mean, generally I imagine that they did bleep out a swearword.
This could be the inkblot test for the next generation!
Tape plays: "Hey, *beeeeeep*"
What did you hear behind the beep?
a) "biatch" - You need help.
b) "stop censoring me!" - Your sense of humor is overdeveloped, and you need help.
Your idea for multiplayer Pokemon sounds a LOT like Black & White multiplayer. I remember training my sheep to be a demented, sick, twisted creature, and pitting it against a huge horse, obviously bred for good. I shouldn't have stood a chance, but because my creature was into setting everything on fire, the horse didn't have time to attack - it was constantly casting rain on itself whilst my creature cast non-stop lightning. Nobody wins a war, even between Gods.
Yes, doctors are only interested in keeping us alive and healthy. The website covered with advertisements, including those damn links throughout the article that jump up and obscure the text if you move your mouse over them, It's not interested in money at all.
Well, the difference is, anyone can replicate her feat by reading out loud from a book. It also actually serves no useful purpose in real life. Running keeps you fit, earns you money, and cannot be done by anyone else. If you argue that a book is a tool, and that a car is also a tool, then that's ok. My opinion, though, is that anyone who tries to break a record like that has spare time that could be better spent working out how to make me live longer. I'd pay well for that research, too!
Sorry, I forgot that women are different... the recommended drinking rate for women is one standard drink in the first hour, and one per hour after that.
4 beers in two hours would put most people over 0.05%, if not 0.08%
I think I see the problem here, mate. You can't handle your drink. Or not! Let's see. The TAC has been studying the effects of drinking for quite a few years now, and has a system of standard drinks. I see that a 330ml bottle of Lowenbrau beer, at 5.2%, constitutes approximately 1.3 standard drinks. There is now a standard drink equivalent marked on every bottle containing alcohol.
The recommended drinking rate, in order to stay safely below 0.05, is TWO standard drinks in the first hour, and one standard drink every hour after that. Certainly, it's not a perfect system, but with the labelling on the bottles, it's pretty good. I think, personally, 4 beers in two hours would put you right on the edge.
We don't have the "walk a straight line" tests here. That seems to be slightly biased against the arthritic and cripples, IMHO.
Come on, all Max Payne fans should have had their appetites sated by Payback with Mel Gibson. The voiceover sound and attitude of the whole film is totally Max Payne:)

I had my suspicions... and they're right. Actionable is not the word you're looking for, although it may sound nice to someone, who, say, has been working in the HR department too long. Please, please, don't make slashdot any harder to read than it already is.
If it's being done in Australia, and they're taking pains to conceal the landscape, why not make it a lot easier, and most likely cheaper, and do The Last Continent? Not much scenery required for most of Rincewind's scenes, there. In fact, as I recall, all the places in XXXX are run-down, shabby and have corrugated iron or tin roofs. It could easily be filmed in the heart of Sydney:P
Planet - has an atmosphere, goes around a sun.
Planetoid - a planet all the other planets pick on.
Moon - could be a planet, except it's going around one already.
Asteroid - has no atmosphere, tends to group. A collection of asteroids is named either a "belt" or a "field", where Captains of Starship Enterprises may hide if pursued.
Meteor - an asteroid that hits something else.
Meteorite - an asteroid that tries to hit a planet, but burns up like a wuss.
Comet - an asteroid that tries to hit, and misses like a wuss.
Sun - goes around... er... God.
Just remember, every-bloody-thing's a satellite, whatever you think.
I think it might be a mistake to compare the two, on Slashdot, but I've been living in Korea (south) for a year now, and all those things you've witnessed happen here on a regular basis. Of course, this being an Asian country, people would die if they didn't answer their phones. Some of the more bizarre things I've seen here include: - A motorcycle rider, sans helmet, riding with one hand, mobile phone in the other, with a passanger on the back.
- Triple parking near a market on a daily basis (everybody leaves their mobile phone numbers on the dashboard, so that they can be reached in order to move their cars).
- Taxi drivers with midichlorins in their blood, who drive with Jedi reflexes, I swear to God.
Luckily, so-called "road rage" hasn't caught on here yet, so arguments are generally limited to shouting at each other whilst waiting for the police to arrive. An annoying policy is that in the event of a car accident, the cars are to be left where they hit, be it in the middle of an intersection or not. This makes for some long traffic jams.
In conclusion, in South Korea, it's not just the old people that drive as if they're drunk.
I'm going to go with "pawned," a la trading something in for money. "owned" seems better, but it doesn't get across the spelling of the word as well as "pawned":)
The question in Arthur Dent's mind was a warped version of the correct question. The program didn't have time to complete. Ford mentioned this just before they used the scrabble pieces. I have an idea what the question is, but as I know the answer, I can't claim knowledge:)

Yes. Good lord, it's a conspiracy? I'll never upgrade to the DSLAMs now...
What's with this redirect? http://www.netauthority.org/ looks like a hilarious website, but why ban real stuff as well? I WANNA SEE THE FAT WOMAN!
Are you, like, trying to make a wiki out of slashdot by expanding the parent's post?

"The average score of a Chinese on a calculus/trigonometry test is significantly above average..."
Obviously the parent is not Chinese. Nah, just kidding. You could've said "...above the global average..." to make it clearer, though.
"If Microsoft really want's..." Please, there's no need for this. Do we have to bring up Bob the Angry Flower again?
Now I can't read any paragraph that describes something as "polished" without thinking of a friend named Bielecki. You bastard!
a gigantic phallic pole included in the dance routine... oh, I get it! Yes, more dancing!
Let's ask Bill Gates why people pay for his OS when they could use linux. Ah, yes, ease of use. And oh, how I wish the internet were free.
Perhaps it's payback for the US dubbing "Mad Max." In an alternate universe, where I rule Australia, that move undoubtedly led to war.
