As for time dilation of any kind, there are maybe five people (all of them Doctors of some sort) who care in anything other than a merit-badge sort of way.
Posting only because the rest of your text was very good.
It's "piqued," related to "piquant." One uses "piquant" in reference to food mainly, but "piqued" almost exclusively relates to something having stimulated the mind (both negatively and positively, but there are subtle differences again, your interest is piqued (stimulated), but you may simultaneously feel piqued (irritated) by this post.
I highly doubt that strange little piles of stones would have lasted even a few years, considering the number of mountain bikers going off the path in that area:)

Just a quick note - I haven't checked the pdf yet, but the mobi has issues with some of the code. Enjoying the style tremendously though!
The thing is that Slashdot does not have a single "group think" position on any particular topic.
Yes, it does. It has a US-centric view of everything, 'cause most slashdotters are from there. When otherwise intelligent people start arguing for their gun rights, frantically posting links to wikipedia and quoting the U.S. constitution, I am able to step back and realise how the rest of the world views our discussions.

I'd be in for that, but a couple of weeks is a long time to remember... I'll make a note of it. Mailing list might be good?
Isn't this offtopic? I'm not familiar with EvE Online, but your post doesn't seem to be addressing the same issues as the other posts. Probably meant to post to another topic (G-Spot article?) and got mixed up, that happens sometimes.
Normally one would just turn on the lights, as it's less likely to wake the two year old than incessant clicking or snapping of fingers.
I don't know about everyone, but my father absolutely HATES turning on the light in the middle of the night, I think because it wakes him up. It certainly was creepy finding him on the toilet in total darkness... but in those cases other senses would alert me to his presense.
Which country is that? Come on Smitty, don't be afraid to name names. 200km north of Tasmania is about as obscure as you could reasonably get - I'd almost managed to forget about that place for good before I read your post. Damn you!
Are you seriously suggesting that it's better for a user to have to click a button before being presented with essentially same choice?
I think he's suggesting that users are SO scared of doing something wrong, that given a choice between three options, they might just throw [in the towel|their hands in the air|the computer out the window].
Given only one option, they know it's the right one. Yes it is dumb, but there are enough people out there who want to be treated that way.
There are ads on Slashdot? Well, look at that. No, I don't use an adblocker. I just don't give a shit about one small ad at the top of the page. Sometimes I pay attention, if it's funny. The only ads I ever click on are ads on webcomic sites, advertising other webcomics.

Who's all of them!
Oddly enough, some Australians DO want to emigrate to the U.S. And we're OK with letting that type of person go.
We're not going to put nuclear power plants where they aren't needed, and we aren't going to put them underwater. Sorry for nit-picking.

10 minutes of tracking doesn't necessarily mean it was slow. Hands up if you think it was simply the BIGGEST missile ever!

Because Korean animators are GOOD. Even Japan outsources animation to Korea.
45 simultaneous users? Now that's collaboration!
~altar alter = to change
I like newspaper topics from ~100 years ago. Sex education, violence in schools... nothing changes, at least in the papers.

I submit the Aerosonde as the first robot to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Admittedly a slightly easier task when flying.
Or if you watch the new Batman movies? "Are you sure you made it loud enough?"
He may just have had a good sense of humour. If the police found him, and he wanted to confess, why not have a little fun with it?

Inspector Gadget's boss would beg to differ.

There is no sarcastic option.
Go on, mod me sarcastic. I'll wait right here while you do it. Oh, wait... you CAN'T! Well well well.
Sometimes the modding is part of the joke.
That's still useless for the sane people who would like to know how many kilometres per litre their cars get.
