I really don't understand it. What's it all about?
If I see some interesting article, I read it.
If it seems full of crap or irrelevant to what I consider "stuff that matters", I ignore it.
NONE of my stories (I've posted a few) have made the front page. Do I curl up in the corner of my office, screaming: CONSPIRACY!?
No, I don't. Because, let's face it, Slashdot is an immensely popular blog. But it's still a blog. And until Soviet Russia makes neutral story-rating robots, we're gonna have to settle with a "personal touch".
In addition, I often find myself clicking links in people's signatures. They are not always relevant to anything either. Do I care or cuss? No. Welcome to the web.
"Being a member of the LDS church.."
LDS? Hey, I'm LSD! Nice to meet you!
On a side note, the last paragraphs of the Holy Bible - just before the addendums - clearly say anyone messin' with it will be swallowed by hellfire, have his semen rot and his daughters prostituted (is that a word?) and stuff like that.
That's one helluva EULA. The question you must ask yourself is this; are you game?
Perhaps it will help usher in an age of simplified, safe online shopping. Someday, Congress and the Senate might even use programs such as this to resolve conflicting bills.
So, Usher has been victimized by unsafe online shopping? And now Congress and US Senate will be looking into it?
Man, American stars have it all.
Back to writing movie scripts, baby.
ah... but how will you see an actual "faster than light" ship...
Yup, brings a totally new meaning to wandering around like a lost mental patient on the parking lot.
Can't wait till Google implements it!
It will have the answers before I even thought of the question!
Then your beowolfed nano-pda will tell you where your car is before you lost it!
Of course, it won't work in North Korea. In North Korea, only old people use nano-pdas.
Also, if a large enough magnetic field was created, the craft would slip into a different dimension, where the speed of light is faster, allowing incredible speeds to be reached.
Still sounds like fiction to me.
Dimensions are theoretical concepts, emphasis on theoretical.
Mankind is moving forward, or at least moving, on the basis of luck and accident.
When they're not watching HENTAI porn of girls they'll never have, they're repeating dead yet painful discussions to keep the juices flowing. It's like masturbation with barbed wire. We all KNOW what this debate is all about. My penis IS bigger than yours. And my dad kicks your dad's ass.
Yes, but the images of the burning Hindenburger was well covered in newspapers all over the world. In addition, Hitler was using the Zeppeliners as an icon of Arian progress, which (of course ridiculous still) "forced" people to look at other solutions. You couldn't support Hitler.
A National Geographics documentary on the catastrophe, said that it could've been the paint on the vessel that caused it to catch fire so quickly. I mean, it had already proven to be quite a safe trip (Europe->America etc.)
Think about the Concorde.
It had 1 crash and we abandoned the project. 1 crash!
Why haven't the Boing been thus treated?
The novel aspect of this latest work is that it involved stitching together almost 50 fragments of mtDNA in order to obtain the sequence as a whole.
Bah, anyone could do that!
The questions is: how do we know wether we're actually looking at a mammoth instead of something of an elephant-frog-ostrich-bird?
what is really needed moving forward, is a way to bind all of these pyramids into more complex structures.
You're missing the point.
They have something called glue. What they're in real need of is tubes of glue in really small sizes. The problem is that nano-sized tubes easily get their top glued in.
Then there's the nutcases experimenting on nano duct tape. "Keep them cells together" et al.
Slashdot Mirror
1. Remove the kid(s)
2. Flash issues solved
3. ????
4. Profit!
I'm still amazed people have kids. It's so last century.
Just imagine a beowulf cluster of those! *shudder*
Have you read Accidental Empires by Cringely?
Great book.
The gravity around the "hole" of a black hole is so strong that NOTHING can make its way back out after a critical distance.
I believe you meant "NOTHING, except for Chuck Norris, can make its way back".

Man, I must be new here..
It's about time. I've played with one of these 2 years ago in Tokyo and fell in love with it.
Yup, you belong here. Carry on.
These teens, always so ambitious...
Oh, well. They'll learn some day.
When MacGyver can't do it, it can't be done.
Must be new math...6+6=10 now
They are operating with very low values of 6. This is typical Open Source, and it means that they're intelligent.

the defendant is accused of taking part in a Slashdotting of a high school web server in the United States
Coming from Europe, that makes me a terrorizing communist!
Man, I love the web. Group hug!
.. they are simply weather ballons. Everybody knows this.

Or Enron.

Seriously, I can't see why clunkers like the R-D1 make it to the market when there'd be so much potential for a tiny camera(...).
You're absolutely right. R-D1 was totally obsolete after R2-D2 came, which had built-in holographic support.
Too bad you can't mute it, though.
You guys really have to stop your bitching and contribute to fix what you see as wrong
What? Work?!
You must be new here.
In Soviet Russia Spy cams rebel against you?
"Help. I've fallen and I can't get up!"
Yup. Gives a new meaning to the concept of MAN DOWN!
This means that we can soon have killer robots.
The present versions just tend to kill themselves.
But we've got lovely fjords, though.
Fjords to pine for.
....and just how will this raise grammar skills for the average slashdotter?
.. See?
It's quite obvious that even a normal keyboard is out of their hands.
What we need is a keyboard that shocks you every time you type something worng*bzzzt!* OUCH!
