Simply put, Earth won't last forever, and the sooner we start preparing to GTFO and enhance our species' chance for survival, the better.
This calls for an Electric Wizard quote!
Construct the pods / we must evacuate
To the stars again / is this to be our fate? ...
Will we ever reach our journey's end
To find a world and start again?
Completely relevant.

Well, really it just means that in a few days or so, the 6 yr anniversary of it being detected will have come...I think. Good ol' future perfect imperative?
...Zonk WANTS to pour more gasoline on the Halo 3 fire.
I mean, I don't see what he thought reviewing Halo 3 would do. By now, he's got to realize people are going to read the first 3 lines of the summary, misquote him and proceed to flame people who don't agree with them... posting this review will change the opinions of like zero people.
Anyway, carry on with the flame war, guys.... trust me when I say I REALLY care about how you've played every FPS in existence and Halo 3 is the worst/best one ever. Seriously.
...out from the woodwork comes the trolls who have clearly seen and played (extensively, might I add!) the version of Halo 3 that went gold!
Enlighten us, messiahs, with your ever-precious judgements!
Clearly, you know more than the staff of EGM who has actually played the game. Gah.
Seriously though, a couple things:
1)Article about Halo 3 isn't newsworthy, but that seems to be the trend here anyway.
2)Halo 1/2 may not have been God incarnated into video games, but they were still worth my 50 bucks. I don't think we need the over-the-top bashing of anything even remotely Microsoft related here...
3)I'm going to get rated troll for not calling Halo 3 a complete pile of poop.

The video mentioned in TFA is old - I remember seeing it at least two months ago.
Well, we can't blame Slashdot for this one - or, can we?
No. But we can blame New Scientist.
I believe you misunderstand the meaning of "not necessarily". Or perhaps you just took it out of my post, to make it "...but not someone more intelligent"?
Either way, thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Because all Iranians agree with their government and UAVs, despite lacking weaponry of any sort, are dangerous weapons that Iran doesn't already have the technology to build, right?
Whoever modded you insightful is even stupider than you, and that's a feat.
Pretty sure its a common slang phrase -- the situation is just 'begging' for a question to be asked - in this case "Since when did demos need copy protection?".
By "Evolution," I was referring to the theory that humans evolved from lower lifeforms. Genetic mutation and evolution is undeniable; it can be witnessed in colonies of bacteria, etc. The disputed part of evolution is whether or not humans originated as a result of it. If we were to find a human with the exact bone structure as a modern human but dated back, say, 100,000 years, then we would need to significantly change our theory of evolution. Thus, because evidence (although I doubt such evidence exists) can change the theory of evolution, it is falsifiable.
ID, on the other hand, will simply pass off any evidence as "part of God's plan" and not change its "theory" to accommodate -- making it unfalsifiable.
...those 1 million people who pre-ordered didn't think Halo 2 was overrated.
I trust Bungie to provide a game that will be worth $50-60 dollars. I don't think it will be the world's best game, but it will certainly be worth the money, for multiplayer anyway. People seem to think that it's all-or-nothing for the Halo series these days, and that's just not true. Get down from your thrones made out of Valve games, people. I'm pretty sure it's legal to buy a shooter for a console that isn't the worlds best game and NOT get struck down by lighting (or an AWP).
Slashdot Mirror
You might live in Flatland, but here in 3-D we call it a "box" :P
Now we have a clear counter to hippies built right in to GH3!
The composers whose music was listed here, or the Universal Edition's business model?
Let's not kid ourselves -there's only one joke possible from the combination of that phone, planes, and Samuel Jackson impersonations.
Wising up? Learning?
...Are we talking about the same record labels here?
(You know, the ones that think copying music for your own use is stealing. Yeah, those guys)

Strange music? Yeah.
Tekeli-li, tekeli-li
It's those damn blasphemous flutes again!
No, but there's like 30 stores about OOXML, which isn't a game but still gets tons of dumb articles.
We also have quite a bit on Manhunt 2, no?

They did it for the lulz.
... Which would explain this story, if this were 4chan. Since it's Slashdot, though, one can only wonder.

Stereotypes? Just what I'd expect from a Wii-tard. (Don't feel rushed to reply. Let the irony wash over you, like a wave in the ocean.)
I believe you misunderstand the meaning of "not necessarily". Or perhaps you just took it out of my post, to make it "...but not someone more intelligent"? Either way, thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Sorry, what? I don't think I was describing an attitude there, much less a portable one.
Somebody more powerful, yes, but not necessarily someone more intelligent.

If you're going to try and correct people, get your own terminology correct before doing so.
