I license my blood under GPL3 so the DRM isn't a problem, my blood can be stripped and used by basically anyone, although there may be problems getting it into the kernel...
Is a shame that jokes are being wasted on slashdot, when there are 3 billion other people in the world who aren't laughing. We're suffering as serious sense of humour shortage here, maybe ethanol is the answer?

These are new... I hardly think you can say they're responsible for killing the entire world with pollution.
And btw, you're using far more energy reading and posting on slashdot. Look to your own habits before complaining about others.
Unlike muscles which don't have any limits, and won't pull or tear or anything???
Knowing to keep your revs low isn't really understanding of the internal combustion engine, knowing why you should is. You don't need to know the reasons why to be able to drive, just the what.
"You need to understand quite a bit about internal combustion just to drive a stick shift on a highway without blowing the engine or the clutch. You just can't go 65mph in first gear in a Civic and expect to get to work"
"World of Warcraft isn't illegal, but it ruins plenty of lives as well"
Yes, that's basically the same as the last argument, "alcohol is legal but ruines peoples lives"... just because a legal thing can ruin peoples lives, doesn't mean that something being illegal cannot become a major contributing factor to the damage that it can inflict.
"the point still stands that addiction is a bad thing"
Yes we're back to repeating things here, I already agreed, saying "any dependancies that high in life are best avoided".
"you seem to have a drug legalization agenda"
I think they should be reevaluated, look at where damage is greater from the drug itself, or the fact that it's illegal, and whether legalising and moving all the money that otherwise gets into the hands of violent criminals, and instead to the state.. of... erm... oh wait, nevermind.
"On another note, I also want to know if "its ability to reconfigure itself to optimize processing on the fly" means "I can overclock this bitch on air cooling"
No, it basically has a lump of human brain tissue from a "willing volunteer" slapped on the side of it. It can reconfigure itself on the fly, but it has to want to.
Firstly, I said mostly - there are of cause going to be other reasons, depending on the person. But also, alcohol causes all sorts of other physical damage (eg, to the liver) which ruins lives, not to mention judgement impairment, and blocking memory creation, So many illegal drugs cause nowhere near the same amount damage that alcohol causes... alcohol is one of the worst recreational drugs that people use. But still, the primary cause of damage caused by people taking many illegal drugs, is caused by the fact that they are illegal. People just can't get hold of clean drugs, and have to pay "risk" fees, which make them very profitable for sellers, putting huge amount of money into the hands of people who will kill for more of it.
Heroine I think is a bit of a bad example however, as its addictiveness is incredibly high, coming off it is very difficult, and any dependancies that high in life are best avoided. However, many recreational drugs are used by people who manage to maintain otherwise normal, healthy, and successful lives, with proper careers and everything. It mostly comes down to the reason people take the drugs. Escapism, addiction, peer pressure etc, will tend to have more more negative results than other reasons like "because it's fun", informed curiosity etc.
"When someone gets up on a pile of PCP and goes on a sociopathic rampage, has his "morality" been "unfixed"?"
Actually, kinda yeah... from what I know of PCP, it's a dissociative, works by disconnecting higher brain functions (consciousness) from the body (so you can't feel what's happening to your body, during operations etc). Recreationally, this leaves the consciousness free to roam without knowledge and constraints of the body... but also means the body can be free to roam without knowledge and constraints of consciousness and conscience, so in effect, it does kinda disconnect "morality" from the body... but other than that:-)
"Why will a cat or dog or pig or any number of other animals accept another species to nurse at its teats, even when, as in many of these cases, said species is considered natural prey or predator?"
Cuz they kinky as hell! My wife likes crocodile clips... Crocodile clips I tell ya! And they can't even suckle...
"Hundreds of installs? You mean in an IT environment with mainly smiler hardware doing a standard install? If you don't then you must be the worlds richest home user to own that many machines"
Or somebody who gets contracted out to many different businesses who don't have in-house IT staff, and also installs on request for friends/family, in which case has a lot of experience installing the OS on many different hardware combinations? Come on, that's a fairly common scenario.

"just about shout that the universe doesn't fit the nice box most people believe in right now"
Who's "most people"?? From what I can gather, "most people" believe in some kind of god based creation, of CAUSE we're gonna keep finding things that don't fit that belief. As for people in the science community - they DON'T believe in some nice model they have fitting the way the universe works, that's why they're looking for things like this that go against the current models.
And that's why you're being modded as 'troll', because you're making assertions about people that simple aren't true.
"For those - ideally few of the slashdot participants - who gripe that it's being spent at all:"
Just remember that pretty much whoever you give money to will spend it, so it's not like the money gets lost outside of the system. Even if the scientists blow all the money on booze, think about how much of that is tax that goes back into the system.
That's the end-user license agreement. That's not to say that there aren't or won't be other available licenses, such as licenses for OEMs to install it on embedded devices, available upon negotiation.

no, it's in the field of itsatrap!!!ology, of cause!

You need to understand about gears is that?

Err... yeah think so, what's left is all pretty autonomous basic animal instinct... so unmoral, rather than immoral.
haha, well I thought it was funny :-)
"One of they're earlier claims was it was so dynamically reconfigurable you should shoot it with a .358 magnum and it'd still function"
:-p
Could?
I can just imaging part of the installation guide that recommends the unloading of a firearm into the computer *lol*

"Why should getting addicted to something like heroin destroy someones life?"
:-/
Mostly, because they're illegal.
Why are they illegal? Because they ruin peoples lives. Why do they ruin peopl... oh yeah, back to there again
