Let's return to that America where colored people -- you have to call them "African American" now -- knew their place, and it wasn't in the front of the bus, the country club, college, or private schools. Now we've got a "Tiger" and a "Seal", and they're marrying beautiful white women. In the 50's, we'd have lynched them just for whistling at a white woman, and there were laws against misgenation. And no one said word one of complaint about Apartheid.
Let's return to that America where we overthrew governments, even democratic ones, because the Dole Fruit company didn't like their policy or because they were nationalizing the oil we'd stolen fair and square. Now we get grief even for overthrowing tyrants if we kill a few tens of thousands and create near-civil war in the process, and it's hardly worth Bechtel and Halliburton's effort to do any war profiteering. Whatever happened to "to the victor belong the spoils?"
Let's return to that America where decent folk could whack a gay person with a tire iron. Now those queeros even want to get married, for God's sake!
It's a good thing we have decent folk like you who want to help us return to those days.
My wife ended up buying a diamond recently to replace one she'd lost from her wedding ring. She would have gone with a cheaper stone if it would have matched the other two, so she would have gone with a cultured stone if it was cheaper.
On the other hand, she's not the type to be bought, and doesn't generally care for or ask for bling-bling anyway.
As a parent, I think this standby mode should be required by law in these portable game systems. If I have to wait for my kid to finish another freakin' Pokemon battle...
An hour before this article was posted, my mother e-mailed me recommending that I not take my 10 and 7 year old to it, from her reading the referenced article.
Having seen at least one AC curious about this, I'll mention techbargains.com as the site I've seen this and other darned good deals. There are other similar sites but the names escape me.
I have no relationship with techbargains.com except as a very satisfied reader.
The concern is "gaps" in the line. The Mac Mini is a nice little machine, but if I want a little more power (a G5 or video card), I have to spend a lot more money for an all-in-one machine or even an absolutely stripped PowerMac.
Not to mention work in this country is almost always on an "at will" basis, where they can fire you at any time. Make all those changes, spend all that money, show up, and -- oops! We don't need you after all.
Then that's not eager enough in my book. Meanwhile, there are some people who are eager enough for a job to go to the other side of the world to get it.
There are a hell of a lot of two-earner couples in this country. It's not just the moving, it's also often that the spouse is already employed, so you would have to find two jobs there.
One thing to think about here is the long-term view. This progress may just give a choice between insulin maintenance and surgery plus anti-rejection drugs. However, the ultimate goal (at least until we have bionic bodies) is to restore the islet cells and normal bodily function. Restoring the cells is thus a step in that direction.

God yes.

I know that the rift is only between the governments, but maybe the people can build a bridge of friendship and in some way help improve things.
'Cause then we can drive tanks over that bridge and invade!
Randall who?
It's a quote from "Time Bandits."
I hope the Linux community never have a leader.
Randall: Look, do you want to be leader of this gang?
Strutter: No, we agreed: No leader!
Randall: Right. So shut up and do as I say.

That said, I am going to use this guide to disable Greasemonkey.
Step 1. Slashdot my own site.
(and please, please, don't suck.)
The funny thing is, most of the time my begging is for exactly the opposite...
Seems like there might be a small specialty market, making automotive or airplane gauges with a USB interface.
Yeah I would definitely throw into the "kitty" for a feature.
RICK: There's plenty of money in the kitty!
NEIL: Yeah, but he's constipated, isn't he?

Shouldn't that be "Same dren, different arn," at least if you mean the same structure as the original?
Dating yourself, eh?
This is slashdot. It's not like anyone else will date us.
and gaming
And for many, gaming is also the web. Freecell.com, Yahoo games, Neopets.com, etc.
Actually, this will probably only hurt the sales.

This law specifically limits it to abusers of under-12 year olds, which at least prevents the example you mention.
No, this is a community project. We all need to swim a lap. (Which, face it, is more exercise than most slashdotters get...)
Yeah, what do you think this is, an Italian soccer game?

Way dark.

But then African giant snails are non-migratory.
Enron were all predominantly Democrat friends
Uh, no.
Never, in fact.
Global Crossing and Worldcom tilted marginally Republican, but close enough to call it even.
