I once got a virus that managed to download several hundred CP images to my machine...I have since stopped using IE.
Aha! A third definition of "Free Software". There's Free as in Speech, Free as in Beer, and Free as in not-rotting-in-prison-because-your-software-did-so mething-illegal.
CPU temps and fan speeds... could provide... surface meteorological data
Well folks, it's either 180 degrees Farenheit in Boston, or one of our ABC(TM) Action-News(TM) WeatherSpotters(TM) is crunching a lot of data on his laptop right now.
Hihi, does the moderator know just how very informative this post actually is?
We need an 'Ironic' mod for when Anonymous Cowards question moderation. But I can't tell if it should be '+1 Ironic' or '-1 Ironic'. Maybe they should both be options.
How long until doctors just text-message the family: "The surgery seemed to be going well, but he didn't pull through. Sorry." Then the hospital can add a $2 charge for the text-message (yes that's ridiculously high for a text-message, but have you seen what they charge for an aspirin?)
organic also means that expensive chemicals are not used
And why is it that farmers use those expensive chemicals? Maybe they're idiots? Maybe they own so much stock in Monsanto that they think they can boost their dividends by buying more chemicals? No, it turns out that the chemicals give the farmers more beef per dollar spent (fewer dollars spent per unit of beef, if you prefer). That's why they buy the expensive chemicals. Organic beef does cost more to produce (maybe not double, maybe not more than 110%, but 'more').
The public school was threatening to kick my child out.
That's funny; in your post you said that the school was going to send your child to the 'alternative school'. In other words, they were going to send him to a different school within the school system. That is a fantastic program. Get the disruptive students away from the students who are trying to learn, and still meet their legal burden of providing 'an education' to the disruptive students. This probably won't do great things for the disruptive students, but the majority of the student can finally get a good education.
Ever heard of Occam's Razor? It's the part of the scientific method which says you must discard any untestable part of a hypothesis.
No it doesn't. The requirement of Falsifiability (which is really a subset of Testability, but since practically nothing can be proven universally true, Falsifiability is what's left) helps determine what can be deemed a scientific hypothesis. If it isn't testable/falsifiable, then it isn't a hypothesis.
Occam's Razor is just a nifty rule of thumb people use to keep themselves from running off on wild, improbable, tangents.

I suggest the DVD, "The Corporation". Definitely a non-balanced polemic, but no lies that I could detect.
What about Duke Nuke'em Forever? The term "ALL TIMES" includes future times (and even far-distant future times).
I was under the impression that you could not use bankruptcy to clear court-ordered fines and settlements (at least in America). Is this not correct?

Then why didn't you score some free karma, by ending your post that way?
Of course, this suggestion is going to trash my karma.
I think I would rather die in a Tsunami than live in any of those places.

But the penalty phase was even funnier: "Go to Jail. Go directly to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not Collect $200."

I'm tired of all of the anti-Americanism on /. If you want to exclude Americans from your site, go ahead; but don't rub our noses in it.

You pop into a chat room and announce, "I'm a cute, lonely 13 year old girl." The friends practically make themselves.
Imported pork has that extra... je ne sais quois. It's kind of like being up to your ass in cows, but shelling out the dough for Kobe beef.
Because Alaska doesn't have a billion acres of developable land that dont require $223M bridges to reach.

Can you hear me now? Good. You're fired! Can you hear me now? Good. You're fired!
And for many of them it will.
-1: Off-topic :)
Maybe not. They've had enough trouble with click-fraud, that they might not want to open the 'inappropriate touching' can of worms.
You'd better have good security if you want to avoid the "Kick Me" worm of 2008.
Or a joke about the differences between 'to', 'two', and 'too'.

Which wouldn't be half so bad, but you also suffer from NSOH.
