I believe you have that reversed. The deniers latched on to the "global warming" aspect of "global warming" and then leaped on any cold day as proof it is all a hoax. Then the global warming advocates changed the name to "global climate change" to save face when they should have stuck to their guns and instead said "warming over long term" or something, because now the deniers latched on to the "global climate change" aspect of "global warming", and rightly state that climate change will always occur so it's a nonsense title.
Who cares about your DNA when the DNA of something you own and use in a crime can be linked to you? Forget RFID; the illuminati need to ramp up production on bio tech so that everything is traceable like this. Then your tinfoil hats and body gloves will be useless.
Yes. This is what I don't understand. The 60 years in between the Hobbit and the LotR is so utterly boring that Gandalf is surprised he's had the One Ring under his nose (although he had suspicions). It was all "rumors of a necromancer", Biblo living quietly in the Shire, and Aragorn living in the woods and scaring the locals.
Agreed. This type of movie is _stereoscopic_, not 3D. It's 3D when I can walk around it, see it from the back, or at least arbitrarily focus on any point in foreground or background.
Wow, even the/. lameness filter thinks that's too much shouting.

Now I can finally start my restaurant (which specializes in mouse-tail delicacies) without PETA breathing down my neck. "Look: it's growing back!" Mouse-tail soup anyone?
As the article says, these consoles where given to kids that where anxious to have them (they did't have it before but played them at their friends houses). [...] Anyone has considered that those consequences might have happened because (1) those kids didn't have a console BEFORE (the novelty factor) and (2) those kids wanted to get the most out of the console because of subconscious fear that it might be taken away from them later.
I'm more curious about why these kids didn't have game systems (no, I didn't read he article). In my experience, even lower middle-class families have game systems (sometimes in higher variety than upper middle-class; NHL 2010 for XBOX is a lot less expensive than playing real hockey). Only _really_ poor families are the ones doing completely without, and don't kids from poor families do worse in school on average anyway?
I think by now you can stop expanding the LED acronym, especially on slashdot. Or are you someone who insists on putting devices for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation on sharks' heads?
we should fight for the right for an atheist or strongly agnostic politician to not have to lie about being a Christian just to be electable.
They already have that right. Or are you proposing a law that would require people to not consider religion when voting, and if a religious reason is used to vote for someone, the voter will get a fine or larger punishment? That would require non-anonymous voting for starters...

Other botnets generate new domain names fairly regularly. All the botnet controller needs to do is register one of those domains before it is generated. Good luck getting a court order to ban all the generated domains for the next few years.
No problem. Individual court orders should do the trick. After seeing 200+ ISPs going through depeering hell, Hosting providers will be a lot more careful who they let have a server. Of course, this is a less than ideal scenario for IT folk in general (especially because it puts the onus on hosting providers to monitor traffic), but it might be effective.
Petroleum is used for a lot more than energy (I hear it makes a great jelly). That said, once electric cars become the norm, people might still use petroleum for energy in niche (expensive) markets like jet fuel.
Obi Wan and Qui Gon both wore hoods at the beginning of The Phantom Menace. Obi Wan wears his a couple times in Attack of the Clones, although I believe this was on Camino and it was raining.
And it didn't protect from the rain because he was using the force to do that (notice the thin area of empty space around him).
MS just got slapped by a fine in excess of 5 billion dollars in EU for anti-competitive practices. If you were an MS executive, would you seriously be willing to do something that would piss off the very same people who came up with that fine, and who are likely to apply some punitive multipliers for repeated offense?
If it comes right up to the line the EU drew in the sand, dances on it, leans a little, but never really goes over... yes.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you look like, do you mind if I lick your face?"
On the other hand, if this becomes common, I could pretend to be blind. I have a terrible licking habit.

Think about it. If the Executive, Legislature, Judge, and Jury were all one person (God) is he going to give any leeway to loopholes?
Except He does... The whole concept of the sacrifice and scapegoat is one of a loophole: The price of XYZ sins is death, but the death can be a lamb's death. Christianity is completely founded upon the same loophole. Who cares if Christ rose from the grave if his death can't be used in place of one's own death to pay the price? It's the whole reason why Good Friday is called "Good".
I seem to recall something in one of those holy books that said "take the log out of your own eye, before you attempt to remove the speck from your brothers eye"
Yes, note that it's not "Take the log out of your brother's eye before you attempt to remove the speck from your other brother's eye"
I doubt GP is a 9/11 conspirator, an abortion-doctor killer, or a pedo priest, just as much as I doubt you are Stalin, Mao, or the type of vocal atheist that believes religious freedoms should be quashed.
...nor is it "Take the log from your own eye, but leave the speck in your brother's eye where it is, it's not causing any real trouble". It's important to hold each other accountable, as long as we aren't _personally_ being hypocritical. Groups are almost impossible to hold accountable for hypocrisy (unless it is ingrained as a tenet) because sociopaths tend to rise to the top in any organizational structure. Of course, they rise much faster when there is a lack of a well defined moral structure, or if the "moral" structure is designed around the sociopath ideal (me first), like Scientology is.

Yes, because Lucas is not a writer of Science Fiction.
