Who lost their houses? The vast majority of writers saved up 6 months' salary in anticipation of exactly this strike. Not to say it wasn't a financial hardship, but my friend who currently writes for Scrubs tells me that almost everyone was planning for this.
How do you know that it wouldn't have been sunny "without intervention"?
Also, RTFA, their techniques don't involve airplanes (they use anti-aircraft guns), and calling what they send to the clouds "special dust particles" is like, totally non-informative.
Actually, the Slashdot summary should've said "10 million peers", because that's what the article said. So you're already accounted for in that 10-million figure!
Um, you're kind of wrong about a couple of points. Google doesn't pay the site owner for "displaying" ads, it pays them when and only when someone actually clicks on those ads. Second, Google is, in a certain sense, "paid" by the domain name tasters, to the extent that the ad clicks generated by the tasting domains only exist as a result of someone tasting that domain: Google gets a certain amount, $X from the advertiser, whenever someone clicks on an advertiser's ad, and then pays $X-Y to the person who owns the page where the ad was displayed. So Google in effect is "paid" $Y by the domain tasters, in the sense that that click was only possible as a result of the page existing.
Whoever tagged this "!vegan" should probably get a lesson in the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
I assure you that almost no "ice cream" is actually vegan, because it has CREAM (i.e., from milk) in it. So the addition of this gelatin-extract does not change its status as vegan or non-vegan.
However, !vegetarian would make sense, since gelatin is made from the animal itself, and ice cream does not generally contain any animal parts (as far as I know!).
p.s. FWIW, I eat animals myself, but think gelatin (ground horse hooves) is kinda gross.
"To activate the mechanism that folds or deploys the wings, you have to be on the ground. There are sensors that tell the plane if you are on the ground. The engine also needs to be off. And you have to enter a personal identification number that only the pilot knows... We built a lot of safety mechanisms into this."
Oh, really? You have to enter a PIN that only the pilot knows? Does this mean that the aircraft can sense whether someone other than the pilot knows the PIN, and won't activate in such case?;-)
I'm paying the same rate FOR FIOS INTERNET as my neighbor who has FiOS Internet and a Verizon Phoneline pays for the FiOS Internet... you pedantic douche.
In New York at least, it's $69.95 per month with a 1-year contract (that contract holds an $89 early-termination fee), and $77 a month if you don't want to sign a contract.
"That price for FiOS assumes you're using it for voice and data."
Totally wrong.
I have FiOS and do not have a Verizon phone number of any kind, and I pay the same rate as my neighbor who has a Verizon phone line.
The RIAA lawyers had an obligation to inform the judge and the other party as soon as they learn about that case being overturned. This is a clear cut case of malpractice, if the facts are as stated in the article.
My high school biology teacher at an "excellent" public school told me that the function of the appendix in the olden days was to digest rocks and such that primitive humans might have digested by mistake. =)

Where are you standing, exactly? The intersection of Total Stupidity St. and Complete Idiocy Lane?

I did. I learned that the number of communist cannibal thieves has tripled over the last year!

All I need to know: It's got the trackpoint! That means I want it. But moreso, that means it's likely to be pretty Thinkpad-y.
Are you suggesting that one couldn't load Linux on this Lenovo?
Thanks. Someone understood my point.

Why does it look that way? The article specifically says it's a $21 ANNUAL fine.
And, as our trusty friend Amazon.com tells us, the game has already been discontinued by the manufacturer.

And what else would we want from an AMERICAN space agency? Yeeeeee-haw! [shoots guns in air and rides off into sunset]
I've been waiting for the perfect time to say this to you:
FUCK OYU

Nah, the iPhone really is the rightful holder of the title "Lisa II"
There's no such thing as a "one-bedroom studio." If it has a separate bedroom, it's not a studio.
Also, studios go for about $550K and up these days, with 1BR apartments going for $850K+.
Psst... it's not 1988.
By FAR the slow part is the physical scanning and printing.
Someone help me get that joke pls?
