    I agree that it's not a science movie, but for different reasons: the moral I got from the film is that you can't sum up the whole of a human being by his genes, but that his will plays a part too.

    Hence (IMO) it's an anti-science film, since it tries to show the shortcomings of science and the problems of over-reliance on it.

    You obviously don't have that tendancy, either

    This isn't redundant - he's the first guy to get a working print link. The others redirect to the actual article. Mod him up!

    Probably to prevent the fristage postages you ACs like doling out liberally.

  12. Re:Outlaw Penguins on RuneScape Passes 1 Million Subscribers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    All I could think of when reading this was "1M Subscribers... and 10M bots/grinders".

    Seriously, the number of Chinese people either using bots to grind or doing it manually, then selling the gold they make for real world money, is ridiculous. At times my brother (who's about the right age to play the game) has seen swarms of level 3 players chopping down wood for money. You start at level 3, so basically these people have accounts simply to chop wood, not to train up.

    The problem has got to the point where Jagex are banning 8000 people a day.

    Here's a release from Jagex, the company behind Runescape, about it: http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=785

  13. Re:10 years ago, that would have been true on Does the Windows Logo Mean Anything? · · Score: 0

    I think most such keymaps are not produced by the companies themselves, but by the OS community.

    So the companies would not be able to guarantee Linux compatibility.

    Is this to do with that popular version of the Fatima prayer? That's kind of obscure, don't you think?

    Agreed. KDE actually has a proper program menu - why does he feel the need to make his desktop just like my Windows one?

    Heh, unluckily this has been posted Christmas night, so only the loneliest of /.ers will see it.

    The owner of SpamGourmet was in the red with the service last time I checked the forums. This makes the service precarious, although I still use it.

    Laying still in a bed for a third of the day saves a lot of energy that would otherwise have to be sought out.

    The spleen functions in the destruction of old red blood cells, but what exactly does the appendix do? I am only a (English) sixth former, so I don't learn things like that, and the Wikipedia article says little. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spleen

  22. Re:High Tech Urinal? on The World's Most-High Tech Urinal · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually, scratch that. Some enterprising university goers will either find a way to spoof the remote control they use to control its ascent and descent (hilarity ensues), or will remove one from the hole as a souvenir for their dorm.
