France really doesn't suck, as far as I know. I was mainly just being mean to that other AC. However, it is a bit of a cliche' in America - that of France sucking. I'm sure that comes from our British heritage.
Now, for all of you who do not believe in a soul, just pretend. When the body of a human goes through this process, when does the soul leave the body? What if it's already gone by the time the body is reanimated? Does it get yanked back from the nether regions, or does it stay - creating a soul-less human?
I'm not trying to start a religious flamewar. I'm just asking a question. Is the soul tied to the flesh, and to what degree? Would this procedure have an effect on the soul?
You've got some good points. This nation is but a shadow of what it once was. There is not real freedom left, only what the government allows one to do. It seems everyone wants everything from the government except freedom.
No. "is that a poor attempt at sarcasm..." Shouldn't there have been a question mark? Or, if you swap the is and the that, it would be a statement. Regardless, it's just the simple truth. Lighten up, lady.
The hole? Isn't that called a "door?" I could be mistaken, thought. Regardless, I would like to see how the government accountants came up with that figure.
Well, I saw earlier, on CNN or Yahoo news or something. That doesn't mean it's not a hoax, but it does mean that the news is more widespread than you think. I'm sure that this foreing paper picked up the news from one of our services.
You need to relax a little; maybe get out and enjoy life more. If you had pulled our head out of your ass, you would have realized that my post was satirical in nature. Yeah, the Chinese birth thingy was borderline; I admit it. But then, I threw in the gravitational pull of good old Luna, just for freaks like you.
Seriously, dude, wake up and start smelling life around you. It doesn't all stink.
The Chinese gender birth calendar thingy also works, apparently. My wife and I are also four for four. However, I don't think the moon phases really have anything to do with it. It's entertaining, though.
I suppose it is possible for the gravitational pull of the moon to alter the path of a given sperm, diverting it and letting the proper one through to deliver the chromosome decidied upon by the moon. Of course, that wouldn't be an issue if Arnold and Howard would hurry up and blow up the moon.
I don't know. I don't really see it your way. It's too positive given MS's softare over the last two decades. It will probably just be a stripped down version of XP, modified to run at lower processor speeds and with less RAM. I don't think there will be any actual improvement, just a bunch of duct tape on the OS. Of course, we won't know until it's released, but I see this scenario as more believable than your scenario.
Automatically deleted from user's computers? That would make me a bit uncomfortable. Why would I want someone poking around MY computer deleting stuff, even if it is authorized? Computers, especially systems running Windows should not be open to others for manipulation (IMAO). Then, there's the issue of Linux. Will there be a special BBC account set up, or should users just hand over their root password?
I don't know. It's just too much control over private property by a governmental/corporate entity. That's trouble. However, the people of Britian are used to being watched constantly anyway. There's cameras everywhere on that island! King Arthur would be disgusted!
Well, that's just my initial reaction. I'm too lazy to read the article right now.

I live in Arkansas, too, so I will make fun of my home as much as I like. Wait, you're an AC...that means you royally suck, just like France.
So, are you sure you know what you're talking about?
How slow do they move over there? It's like they're in Arkansas or something.
That's probably less of a guess than you realize.

You, sir or ma'am, have written the most purely awesome thing I have read on /. in the past couple of months. Bravo.
It's because many on slashdot observe the following equation: faith = lunacy + puritanism + republicans + bush = bad It's quite narrow minded.
Now that is awesome. A truly good book.

The fools.
Don't confuse Porn with Free Speech.
The funny thing is, porn has been treated as a free speech issue by the courts. Remember the Communications Decency Act?
This law has serious problems at the least, and is unconstitutional at the most.
A valid point. Perhaps the theorem needs to be modified to account for a certain level of class, or a maximum amount of make-up. Just a thought.

I'm extraordinarily attractive, and a genius to boot. The great thing is, I'm not the least bit cocky about it. Women love that.

You keep on making silly assumptions. Wait. You're referring to yourself as a noob. I see.

You know, sometimes I have way too much coffee too. It's ok, you'll get over it.
I was just making a point, but yes, quite obvious.

You know, if I was wasting as much time and money as these guys are, my wife would shoot me square in the balls, and I would deserve it.
