Hard sciences are tougher to write about without deep expertise in the field. It's not that the soft sciences are "bullshit-prone", but they convey their concepts verbally, which is easier to grasp intuitively without a formal education. To write a paper in mathematics, one must devote much time to even get the notation and understand how a proof works.
future blackmail when their job, family and home are on the line
If they're working in academia and forged their doctoral thesis, okay.
Other than that? "Sir, you have been employed with us for fifteen years, but we have been tipped off to the fact that two decades ago you paid someone to write your mid-term paper. Please clear out your desk."
Extensive scarring might deform them, but the fingerprint structure extends below the upper layers of skin that are removed by normal injury. Wikipedia says that John Dillinger tried to destroy his with acid, and failed completely.
republicans have different opinions than democrats
In the current climate, it would be more likely that regardless of opinions there will be no bill in congress that will have support from both democrats and republicans.
Wherever innovation threatens to become ubiquitous and improve civilization and everyday life, you can bet the patent system will be ready to strangle it. That's what it's for.
I consider text messages a ridiculous, overpriced scam of the phone companies and have sent about five of them throughout my entire life. No wonder I'm single.
Apparently, all they were able to do was some primitive blood-letting analogue, in that they bled out some of his cash in order to stabilize his financial humours.
At this rate, you'll have pissed off the entire world of free software before the year is over. Maybe go for Linux next. Or the Mozilla Foundation, but I don't remember if Sun was involved there in a major way.
Switching to Linux has allowed me to use my computer in pretty awesome ways; true. It has also cost me weeks (possibly adding up to months over the years) trying to solve particular technical problems caused by badly supported hardware or simply hard to understand configuration issues. The thing is that I knew I was getting into that before I switched.
I agree that attempting to directly outdo Windows on its home turf (people who don't know how to use a computer, and don't feel like spending time learning it) is not a good war for a Linux distribution to get caught up in. I picked Ubuntu for its very ease of use when I switched, but am getting concerned that with each distribution its user interface becomes a little sleeker and "easier", exchanging power for simplicity.
You can't entirely foolproof an operating system without locking your user in, like MS and Apple do. Linux cannot become as "user-friendly" as these without turning off power users. Sure, maybe different distros will evolve to fill each niche, but with free software development being driven mainly by its users, it will be hard to find volunteers for maintaining a distribution that no programmer would want to use.
Slashdot Mirror
It's hard enough for Slashdot to keep up with the news, now you want them to keep up with what they keep up with? :P

Nah, that's just how Chuck Norris pays for all his drinks.

Would it help you to know what makes me say this post was written by a robot?
So they didn't hold the weapon, but they destroyed his life until he ended it. Yeah, I'd say they killed him...

Google says the base reward is $500. Each of those bugs needs to be driving off a lot more than one user to be worth that much...
You mean "subsequent checks were fully complied with".

Is that some kind of organic molecule? What's its formula?

Oh hey, you just came up with the next Dan Brown novel!
TWO proxies?
I never go with less than SEVEN!
There is no cure for gullibility.

If it was launched by Apache, then it was probably a Tomahawk.
You left out the bit where the soothsayer ate a sun a while ago. Spectacular.
- Apache Software Foundation: Check
- OpenOffice.org/Open Document Foundation: Check
- MySQL: Check

The latest status updates:
[...] is now single - four hours ago.
[...] now has Herpes - six hours ago.
In response to this, Nintendo has unveiled their first foray into the smartphone market.
The Nintendo Wee.
Wait till the Catholic church hears about that. :P

Yeah, like that Alaskan politician who used a Yahoo email account. :P
