Whoa... It's pretty gutsy to call slashdot (and almost all webistes) "just stupid". You aren't able to control the "settings" of the colors a website uses. While I agree that black on white isn't optimal, it is easier to focus on for the vast majority of users. Back when I was a young 'un I had a hard time getting used to the "backwards" nature of having a dark background with lighter text. It comes more naturally the more you have practiced. For most of us on/. the practice has come and gone years ago, but for newer users, it just feels too funky.
Yeah, but 1234567890 comes just short of Feb 14th in a year (Fri, 13 Feb 2009 23:31:30 UTC). It just goes to show that true geeks will only ever almost get close enough to women for romanitc encounters.
I don't know how close we may be, but a cyborg implant that can download data, and then be accessed by the brain seems like it could lend itself to helping our children learn at a rapid pace without ever letting them go to school. Might be overkill, but hey... it does what you want, doesn't it?
The statement, which supports a single high-definition disc format, also offers advice on dimensions, packaging, features and even how marketing materials should be designed.
Seams to me that they have already decided which one they want, and are trying to push it on Hollywood (probably for their own profit as well).

Wow, that was below the belt!

I'm sorry, but a bug to the helmet sounds a lot better than a bug to the sac!

'I' is a word, but 'i' isn't. And most spell checkers will catch that error.
The walkthrough on Electronic Frontier Foundation says that to legally do this, you have to do it before July 30, 2005.
It seems that "biting the bullet" in this case could mean putting your lips around the barrel and try to catch it as it comes out?

If you divide that between the entire human race ... each person could make a piece of toast? Maybe over a 20 minute period of time?
Costello: "We could call it planet Y."
Abbot: "Y?"
Costello: "Because"
Abbot: "Because why?"
Costello: "I don't know"
Abbot: "Third Base!"
Don't you mean "Twisted and Evil"?
A favorite sci-fi book from my youth had (something similar to) this to say ...
... but it seems to vanish before I can grasp why .....
"As the scientist dug deeper into the structure of the atom, he found out that underneath the quarks, etc. there was nothing - just emptiness."
Seems to me that this applies in some way

No, they don't, that is why they had to clarify it by stating the obvious
This is not Demolition Man, but Final Cut.
I just jammed my cell phone in my eye - it hurts! IT HURTS!!
