Yeah and the goofy goggle will probably get you as many votes as knowing names. Look, when you win I'll give you a ride to the inauguration in my spaceship.
They gave a disk for free? Wow, that's really awesome. I've just downloaded it the past. Looks like they will still be giving the 1st disk for free, seems ridiculously reasonable to me.
I used to make soy milk and delicious okara fried with rice, salt and pepper, now I have a full-time job and buy soy milk at the supermarket like everyone else (of the people who consume soy milk, anyway).
Battered fried okra is awesome. How much of a pain was it to make your own soy milk, and how did it taste?
Actually it's quite true. IAAV and will readily admit that not all nutrients are naturally there in the diet, most notably B12. Now if you consume eggs or dairy it might not be a problem at all for you, but vegans should supplement their diet. I'm kinda bad about taking multivitamins myself, but luckily lots of meat-like products add b12.
Vegans that say they have the perfect diet are kidding themselves. Small amounts of meat probably aren't negative for your health and likely make it a little easier to be healthy. Personally, I don't think the vegan diet has been particularly good or bad for me, though I do wonder about some of my vitamin levels.
Uninstall itunes and google toolbar....add self uninstall followed by installation of you favorite *nix distribution and who here would agree with this practice. In my experience both of those programs are really annoying.

Limiting your ability to "loan" books out to only 14 days sounds like DRM to me. As long as e-content has limitations not present in real books, there's no compelling reason for me to switch.
It would be nice if this had lending properties more similar to a traditional book, but at least this is a step in the right direction. I like the idea of giving no time limit, but only allowing one person to view the files at a time (I imagine this would be nearly impossible to implement though).
I like the idea of ebooks and dedicated ebook readers. I have one major problems with them, I can often pick up a used copy of the book for a significant savings over the ebook price.
Do you seriously believe that if we had socialized medicine that hundreds of millions of vaccine doses would suddenly appear and 'save' everyone?
Who said that? Some people might believe the vaccine would be more readily available if such a system was already in place. I'm not going to say that because I'm not sure, for all I know it would be a relatively similar situation. It's easy to "win" an argument when you just make up what the other person is saying.
Government is not the solution; government is the problem. Get rid of the FDA and take a billion dollars out of the cost of every new medicine produced.
Translation, "I'm right because....I'm right." As you said, the conclusion does not follow.
iirc isn't it recommended that moderation be primarily positive and disagreeing with a comment isn't grounds for modding it Flamebait. Sometimes I see a comment modded like this and realize that it must be a sad little power trip for someone.
Wow, aren't you just full of sunshine and rainbows? Maybe you can volunteer for the one way trip to Mars if you are so unhappy with the "plague that is humanity". Man, get help.
Stormtroopers [wikia.com] are the same as Clone Troopers, and they're all clones. Just read some Expanded Universe stuff and you'll know.
Well, storm troopers in the films may or may not be clones, it is a bit ambiguous. As far as the extended universe goes, there is less room for debate. During Timothy Zahns novels, the troopers were generally not clones, at least until Thrawn found cloning cylinders, and started cranking more out. However, this was written before the prequel trilogy when the clone wars were just a vague line from the originals.
Troll -- A Troll is similar to Flamebait, but slightly more refined. This is a prank comment intended to provoke indignant (or just confused) responses. A Troll might mix up vital facts or otherwise distort reality, to make other readers react with helpful "corrections." Trolling is the online equivalent of intentionally dialing wrong numbers just to waste other people's time.
The parent post clearly didn't fit these requirements. Sure, the parent's opinions and beliefs may be different from many here at/., but that doesn't mean you should moderate it as "troll" or "flaimbait".

a girl stalking you is unbelievable enough (as this is counter to slashdot memes), but really "girls". This sounds about as likely as your sig..

Skiing Robot May Not Be Useful, But Fun To Watch
Sounds like a Jessica Beal movie about skiing.

that doesn't sound unreasonable to me, as long as you can get the book back when your friend is done.

the US doesn't build things anymore; when you stop designing and inventing things as well, you'll be truly finished.
Apparently it built a website that you have nothing better to do than troll...

Instead of doing a flu shot a few years back I got a pneumonia vaccine.
Good idea, I didn't even know there was a pneumonia vaccine. Thanks.
Firefly was very character driven. Sure, it was a western in space - but with cowboys you cared about AND spaceships!
I don't see why some of those same funds couldn't go to pay the authors. I don't think the authors of textbooks are typically "raking it in" anyway.

Vegans tell stories of "binges" on sour cream, cream cheese, etc.
What vegans binge on dairy products?
visit the creationism museum here in Kentucky. Who on /. wouldn't agree with that?
Like 'his' and 'hers'? Because that's what 'its' goes along with.
Completely off topic, but thanks - I might actually remember this now.
Do this for 40 years, and you'll be just as sharp at 50 as you were at 20.
Apparently these activities do not help your arithmatic :). Good suggestions though.
