damn straight PDAs have changed. Back in my day, if a policeman caught you so much as holding hands with your girl in a public place, you'd be shot on sight. These days people can fornicate in the bushes and display affection publicly all willy nilly, and no one does a damn thing about it. Now get off my lawn!
ID can take the complexity of life and the structure of the universe itself and explain it in terms anybody who has ever been to church can understand. Biology can't.
That sounds like a great new ID mantra: "If God had brought about life through evolution, He would have given us the brains to understand it!"
It's like a wet t-shirt contest, allowing you to show off your rack in a controlled environment. Except in this case it's the metaphorical rack nerds develop from years of programming prowess, and not the actual rack they develop from scarfing down doritos and Mountain Dew during the same interval.
wow that's a great idea for a cell phone feature: the ratometer, which functions like the canary in the coal mine. It's a rat stapled to the back of your phone and connected to a tiny internal EKG that auto-disconnects calls when he has a seizure. by judiciously placing a few extra electrodes, the phone could even run for days off the stray french fries underneath the seats of your car.
omg I almost broke my pocket protector in rage when I found out I was reading another joke item! When I come to slashdot I am all about serious news and I have no time for these petty jocularities. Please desist from abusing my vauned intellect, whose cycles should be better used pondering more weighty matters, such as how many joystick ports will come on the PS3!!/poneys etc.
here I was all excited that I could get gold-plated mouse with hand-tooled authentic leopardskin sliders, and then the article's all about curing other people's debilitating diseases
As I said before, this is not interesting because they crippled their product. This is interesting because they appear to have wrongfully defamed AMD by lying about their reason for doing so (assuming the AMD chip does have the capability to run 9+1). Skype no more has the right to do that in order to gain revenue from Intel (if this is actually what happened) than a television company seeking greater ad revenue has the right to imply falsely that a car company's trucks tend to explode (to give a well-known example).
If Skype had proclaimed that they were partnering with Intel to offer users of Intel chips an additional feature, this would be less interesting. In that instance, the benefit to Intel would lie solely in the increase in its product's capabilities relative to its competitor's product (even if this increase was artificially induced by Skype). However, Skype's stating that the limit they imposed is performance related produces a different and potentially far greater benefit to Intel, namely the defamation of its competitor. Insidious motives, idiocy, the potential for just desserts -- seems interesting to me.
if they ever make a "massage wand" and it's like their CD's, 9 months after you use it the girlfriend will be giving birth to the child of some engineer in their electronics division.
Slashdot Mirror
clearly they should charge whoever was on the other end of the phone and bored her to sleep as an accessory to the crime.
please remove the insensitive "gay" tag and just put "stupid" like with those april fools stories! oh, wait..

not if they're moving it to McDonalds
or more apropos schadenfreude: mistake leads to videotaping, videotaping leads to joy, joy leads to... suffering.

OK, time to log off WoW for a few moments and catch your breath.

I hate rails. Rails caused the demise of the Pony Express!1
Does the world really need a jet that transforms into a giant robot? I say yes. Yes, we do.
uh oh, grandpa is getting grumpy! /kidding! kidding!
silencing minority viewpoints with which you do not agree: now there's an agenda many hate speakers will support.
I expect all traffic from the US government will be forwarded to screw.eu

at first I thought you meant "cojones" but kahunas works too.

utility is not the point. the point is to stick it to the unctuous twits who crippled their product and lied about the reason.
M$ is perfectly capable of creating a back door without any help from the govt.

they want cheap, fast, and easy they want my ex-girlfriend?
Absolutely. I'm developing our business plan right now.
