Anyone suing Nintendo over this is purely doing it to hurt a good company that's making a great system and really bringing a lot of new stuff into the video game world. I hope the identities of the people bringing litigation against them are leaked so that they can really feel shamed about what they've done.
You don't understand how effective that would be at improving the security features of Linux.
Stupid people do stupid things [u]more often than[/u] non-stupid people. This would increase the number of guinea pigs running linux by a significant number. Especially if you tell them that they can call themselves the "Person of the Year" if they use it, and still be completely honest.
With more stupid people running linux, more bugs would be found. When more bugs are found, more bugs are fixed.
When more bugs are fixed, and people realize that Linux fixes its bugs in minutes, hours, or days, and not in months or years, they'll easily see that picking up a copy of Linux and giving feedback is a very very cool thing.
Contrary to what you may think, there are plenty of "nerds" here who are very concerned about their right to carry a gun in self-defense.
There are still others eager to hear their opinions.
Just because you don't associate guns with nerds does not mean that the two are mutually exclusive.
There are probably plenty of people here on Slashdot who actually DO carry guns for self-defense, considering that they probably aren't as confident in their bow-staff skillz as you apparently are.
Keep in mind that Mars is significantly smaller than earth - around 6.4x10^23 kilograms, (easy to remember since it's very close to 1 mol) and as a result the effects of gravity are significantly lessened.
the "still heavy" 50 kg item you're describing could be lifted with a single finger on Mars.
Actually I believe that the term may be useful in virtual applications. by that I mean that it should never be used to build a house, but might yield new insights into the worlds of physics and math if it's adopted, primarily because there are many people right now who simply refuse to touch 0/0 with a ten foot pole because it causes problems.
Maybe someday this will be as useful as L'hopital's rule.
I hate to break it to you but the Movie "industry" is in the process of falling apart right now. What movies there are that are successful are successful in spite of this.
People are still willing to go see a good movie and pay money for it.
But as evidenced by our pocketbooks, crap movies like "Turistas Go Home" aren't the get rich quick schemes they once were. Seriously, you expect average people to get off their average-sized asses to go see a crap movie AND pay ten fucking dollars to do it? I'd rather troll Slashdot! And that is NOT an exaggeration.
I didn't say I was centrist. I said that if you think he was being radical left, YOU are radical "right". There's plenty of room in both the left and the right to crack jokes about either side. If you are the same person who posted that comment, then you seem to be of the small minority in the group on the right who is offended by even the slightest inclination away from your precious extreme.
I'll stay over here, thanks. I enjoy not obsessing over any party, myself.
And just to clarify before anyone labels me anything: I believe that the republicans in power right now are all scumbags and should be tried for treason after undermining the Constitution for their own profit and selfish self-interests. I believe that every single prominent democrat should be shamed out of Washington D.C. as well, because they deliberately allowed these horrible things to happen, knowing that the entire country would eventually be outraged at the republicans enough to ignore the fact that the democrats tolerated this.
Basically I'm just anti-politician and I will bash anyone who attacks people who state their opinions, labeling them as something they're not just to look better in the eyes of their peers.
You attacked someone who expressed a different opinion, and labeled them unfairly as justification for your slight. It would be like me saying "typical republican scumbag trash." in response to what you said, which would have made me look nicer in the eyes of these so called "liberals" you seem to dislike. But I don't like them either.
Okay, I confess. I've called the cops before when I saw a creepy old guy driving around following a 3-year old before, and I've called the cops when I saw a guy parked across the street from the elementary school, who then drove around real slow following kids who were walking home.
I suppose I must be a paranoid freak.
How about you shut the fuck up, asshole? When you see creepy people doing creepy things, you damn well better be able to get your fat lazy ass up and show some fucking concern. You don't have to be misanthropic to be smart.
Wasn't meant to be insulting, just a funny jab at how you were overanalyzing the statement.
0.04 s between cars wouldn't make them going faster than the speed of sound, either, but it'd definitely mean that you could step on both cars at the same time with the same foot. That's a rather blatant tailgater, collision imminent, captain.
In any case I agree the officer was probably using Texan math. I've heard people say "point oh four" when they meant to say "oh point four."
In Texas at least, there are plenty of roads with 55+ speed limits where no lane is designated as a passing lane. Instead, it's just socially accepted that the left lane is always for faster traffic, and is thus, the "fast lane."
But then in Texas there are also plenty of long, long roads where it just wouldn't work to have a lane for passing only.
Those bard doors aren't very aerodynamic, but they can sure carry a tune! They also get to cast spells once they hit level 2, provided they're pretty enough.
Slashdot Mirror
And we all know how informative Slashdot is.
Where would they get their truly important news? From a news source?!?! HA!

Or maybe people who don't get colds are happier.

Screw that. Just make the tits.
Wow, I must be really geeky, because I tried to read that as 1337 before I realized it was just randomly assorted characters.
So what you're saying is that the entire continent of Europe could be cylons, and they might not even know it?
That's certainly a scary thought.
Better go sneeze on a buoy and float it over there.
"...Nintendo has the best "Gift" potential... "
Precisely.

I rather expected a large turnout for the Wii.

which distro?
I was getting really bizarre problems trying to get it to work in wine with Ubuntu.
be sure to let me know when you find World of Warcraft on a console.
Forgot to mention - Earth is about 10 times the mass of Mars. That should make those numbers a bit easier to swallow.
If you wagered that, I'd take you on.

"What professor, after making a huge discovery, proceeds to teach it to children before presenting it at a seminar of his peers?"
