You do realize that slashdot readers aren't representative of the population as a whole, don't you? There will always be a core group of PC/workstation users, but for the majority of people a tablet or phone is all they need to access email, facebook, and porn.
Force the guy who stockpiled all those explosive to bring them out slowly, one by one. If he stored them safely, it's not a problem. If he didn't... well, he should be the first one to face the consequences of his actions. But really, the government has failed to even consider the possibility that this guy might actually have known what he was doing.
The thing to remember about warez crackers, is they tend to be more skilled than the people who release the games. Trying to outsmart them is a fallacy.
Then why don't they try, I dunno, maybe writing their own games instead of leeching off the work of others!
Genes are currently patentable, and same-sex marriage is currently illegal in several states. Just because something is currently legal doesn't mean it is moral, ethical, or in the best interest of society for it to be so.
My advice is, if you can make money developing for the iPhone, go ahead and do it. Sure, it's akin to prostitution in that you need to bend over and scream "Oh, you're so good!" every time Apple demands it, but hey... it's a living! P.S. Don't forget the lube.
Somehow telling my wife, "Hey, it's in my DNA, I just can't help it!" doesn't make her any less pissed off...
And actually, these are very desirable genes, since they apparently also make you a world class football player, basketball player, soccer star, or golfer!
Wait... explain to me again how it is possible to get a patent on a chemical compound (as opposed to the method and process for producing that compound), especially a naturally occurring substance? If you're making money by ripping off other people's copyrighted material and selling it, you should go to jail. If you're saving lives by providing life-saving medication to people that otherwise could not afford it, the ethics are not as clearly defined.
I use highschool math (geometry and trigonometry) on a daily basis. I haven't done any real calculus since college, but the concepts of integrals and differentials are important to understand. However, if you asked me to calculate the area under a curve, I'd whip out a program in about a half hour to do it by numerical method -- no calculus required.

Then, if you could just extend it with more memory, a hard drive, and a faster CPU, it would be almost as useful as a PC!

Tell that to the 10mil+ subscribers of WoW. With the new expansion getting released, WoW players are going nowhere.
I really tried to tell them, but for some reason I can't get in touch with any of them lately...
Your average PC user doesn't drop his PC on the ground on a regular basis...
Bullshit. My wife tells me that size doesn't matter, and that 4" should be enough for anyone!
Netcraft confirms the PC is dying!
Why didn't he just use this?

Don't forget the cavity searches for the tenant's girlfriend(s)!
The guy is obviously a fan of Mythbusters, and just wanted to try is own hand at blowing shit up... is that a bad thing?
When I told my friend the next morning that my ex-wife was the only other woman I'd ever been with, she was amazed.
Wait... you're a long-time slashdot member, and you've actually been with a woman??? Tell me... what's it like?
Whoosh!
Am I the only person outside of South Africa who wasn't annoyed with the sound of vuvuzelas?
Yes... yes you are!

No, they are more likely to complain that going by this definition, I have a nanopenis...

Put the magazine on a web page instead of a dedicated app!
It's learned behavior. (I'm currently trying to train my daughter to be into it by spanking her on a regular basis.)
almost all sexual activity is genetic in some way - with very few exceptions that are the gifts of sentience, my personal favorite being bdsm
Too. Much. Information!!!
Yes, there is a test. Introduce the douchebag to your sister. If he sleeps with her, he has the gene.

You're shittin' me! This really stinks! What a piece of crap!
