Once Dice.com instituted an "always on" Internet connection policy to read Slashdot, it became nearly impossible for me to read. It's become particularly hard since I lost my job and can no longer browse and troll Twitter from work.
The reason automatics rule in the US is because no one has time to use a manual. We are all busy texting, talking on the phone, eating, watching movies and sleeping. Sometimes, a few of those things at the same time... We only have two hands a knee to drive with!
Now that I've done enough eating in my car, I can also use my tummy to steer!
The tradition was started when a Pope named Mecurious (Mercury) was elected. He thought that a Christian Pope with a pagan name wasn't kosher (so to speak), so he took the name "John" (I think it was John).

How can a comment be "Overrated" when it has not yet been rated?

I'm pretty sure this is not the "first" robotics competition, I don't care how loudly you shout it.
I never used them, but now they're the most important thing in the world! ;)

The official statement from Mr Kim's regime kept up the barrage of inflammatory rhetoric, telling "all foreign institutions and enterprises and foreigners including tourists" in South Korea to "take measures for shelter and evacuation". It added: "The situation on the Korean Peninsula is inching close to a thermonuclear war due to the evermore undisguised hostile actions of the United States and the South Korean puppet warmongers."
I have no idea if these are accurately translated.

Deal with it.
And who are they going to troll? Good luck trying to enforce invalid patents in a nation with sane patent laws.
That's the next guy's problem.
How exactly does this CMS help me DRY my cloud?
Are you kidding? It fluffs your cloud!
Again. A pity the first amendment doesn't apply to corporations.

He's right, Science-dammit!
In short: Randi is a fraud. He does a disservice to the skeptical community.

I hear you talking, but all I can think is "People called Romanes, they go, the house?!"
...probably got caught looking up the term "democracy" on the internet and all his family and friends sent off to gulag...

I love lamp.

"Twenty percent comes from the energy generated by the white-hot hatred of Slashdot users!"
It doesn't look a day over 13.5 billion years old.
And now they've hacked Slashdot!
