  1. Re:UK readers banned from slashdot? on UK to Ban Possession of Certain 'Violent' Pornography · · Score: 1

    At leat in the UK they're not torturing people or holding them without trial, as we do in Guantanimo. But I guess given enough time, they will. That's only because the US are so anxious to do it they just let them take them all. It's not like UK intelligence agents haven't been over to guantanamo to help with the 'interogations'.

    Lol, I love the way you say Slashdot-worthy, like slashdot is some great and highbrow institution. Hello, Lego cases are slashdot worthy. Saying 'Slashdot-worthy' is like saying Karaoke-worthy, or gutter-worthy, or rubbish bin-worthy.

    For someone working with SI units, there are many elegant formulas, now if you dust of an old book from the 50s and look at some formulas in imperial units they are horrible, as all the units are non matching, and need a whole load of constants and secondary unit conversion calculations added to make everything come out right.

    Sure E=MC^2 is very nice looking, but if it wasn't, it would not be famous, take a look at some of the other equations involved in relativity, they are not so pretty.

    It's too late, Nintendo is pissing on their lawn.

    The Wii has an elegant design, it's designed as a lifestyle machine, it has a catchy name and there's a little prefix on all it's accessories. It's compact and elegant, unlike it's bulky and ugly competitors. It's glossy white, and so is the DS, which is a slick, glossy white square, with an innovative and easy to use interface. The Wii and the DS market themselves to a hipster crowd and cast themselves apart from their competitors as the classy and elegant option.

    Basicly, all of Apples hallmarks have been snagged by Nintendo, the Wii is exactly the kind of machine apple would have made, except Apple would have made it with high end hardware and priced it higher than a PS3.

    Apple has missed the boat, they could have penetrated the market against the Gamecube and the XboX, but not now, it's all stitched up, and they have no card to play, they don't have more money than Sony and Microsoft, and they aren't as smart as Nintendo, they aren't going to spend thier 18 billlion (and they would need to spend a lot of it) on such a high risk effort, they would get stepped on, and loose all thier money.

    Adding gaming capabilities to the Ipod touch and Iphone, yea, that's a bit more likely.

    Hmmm, wow you have solved it, no one ever realised that could be the case, you are so smart with your giant brain well done. oh wait just one small point, the verse specifically says that it was not measured that way, it was measured from the lip to the lip, and it also states it is perfectly round, not oval. So no prize for you.


    A much more retardedly obvious reason is that the author was just writing an aproximate description of some goodies, and didn't thing some squirrel brained monkeytards 1000s of years later would be following every single word like dribbling retards he probably thought people would be more interested in the miracles and teachings and shit like that and not obsessing over the scientific accuracy of a story.

    Last time I checked, articles of faith for Christians were the existance of God and that Jesus was the messiah, not that pi is 3, the world is flat and we used to live with grass eating tyrannosaurs.

    Creationists all need to get a life. I'd say there reason they obsess about it, is they lack faith, thier faith is weak and pathetic and need to try and prove to themselves that they believe, but the more they get wrapped up in thier rationalising, self deception and deranged logicc, the further they are from true faith so they just get more and more desperate. No wonder they are so fucked up.

    Like all comedy, timing is everything. If you stick it as a reply to anything, epic fail, you have to wait untill that perfect moment, when a really ripe one comes along, then bang. You need someone to set you up just right for it, and to get a really perfect one, you need to wait for a long long time.
