This can't be reiterated enough. It took them five *years* to get MTGO 3.0 out. Five years for a major version bump that didn't really have any new functionality, and was actually missing a lot of the old functionality at launch. Half Life 2 was made in less time than that, with a compelling narrative and excellent graphics. MTGO is a 2D card game with e-commerce bolted on.
I don't even know how that's even possible. Did they only have one programmer? Did they hire a team that had to spend the first four years getting a CS degree?
If most of the embryos created in the process are going to be destroyed anyway, you might as well select for good health. If you have a problem with that, you likely have a problem with that kind of fertility treatment in general.
*Everyone* has something they'd like to keep hidden. Can I watch you have sex with your spouse, or read your bank statement? Can I have your exact height and weight, and maybe get a glance at your mental health records? Do you mind if I videotape your grandfather's funeral? Got any love letters left over from Junior High I can read?
Having a 'policy' doesn't allow you to confiscate someone's personal property. They always have the option of declining to abide by the rules and leave the premises.
If you think no one would want to attack Iran you haven't been watching the joint sabre-rattling in the news from the US and Israel. Who did we attack, Iraq, the relatively stable country with no nuclear weapons, or North Korea, the ticking time bomb of regional destablization who already had them? Nuclear weapons seem like a fine deterrent again.
Really now? You think everyone in Iran is ready to die, and for their country to be wiped off the map? No one would have any objections? Despite their propensity for using the tactics of a suicide bomber, Arabs (and in this case Persians) aren't stupid.
Iran is not going to launch a nuclear strike on Israel. Even the most rabid antisemites in Iran would be given serious pause by the thought of the the response from Israel's arsenal. Their population center would be destroyed within minutes of the launch.
For the most part the DC didn't need a 'mod'. Almost all of them were perfectly capable of reading CD-Rs and executing homebrew code, which is why it was one of the most pirated consoles ever.

This will save porn companies a bundle...
Is this blogspam? Such a sensational summary for an article that basically says 'Meh, I guess it's kinda cool'
We wouldn't have Ubuntu if people followed that advice a few years ago.
Without copyright, the GPL is invalid.
Indeed. Originally Diablo was turn-based and required characters to eat. It was only with some trepidation they turned it into a real-time action RPG.
On what planet is *band remotely comparable to a commercial game?

An obvious fabrication, given that you're a slashdot poster.

Or is this a more comprehensive list than they're letting on?
That's not even the smallest flash drive I've seen. It looks bigger than a mini-kart. "Old thing comes in new, slightly smaller size, news at 11"

This will be used to break CAPTCHA-type schemes even worse than they already are.
Use ridiculous hyperbole much?
I was under the impression the preferred nomenclature was "UMPC". That's what I always hear them referred to as.
Ignore my comments and mod this fellow up as interesting/insightful.

I hate spamming as much as anyone, but nine years for sending Viagra advertisements? Child molesters and bank robbers sometimes get less than that.
Capitalism will teach them dealing drugs is a much better hobby than doing them.
I think small children would have an easier and significantly more fun time playing with a kitchen blender than trying to learn the application.
Then why didn't we send a carrier in after Katrina hit?
