I was gonna say that I'm impressed by the fact that we've evolved as a community to the point where no one is automatically imagining Beowulf clusters of these... What paradox is this?!?
I think John McCain wants to ban internet taxes. From his website (about halfway down the page):
John McCain Will Ban Internet Taxes. John McCain has been a leader in keeping the Internet free of taxes. As President, he will seek a permanent ban on taxes that threaten this engine of economic growth and prosperity. Proceed to mod as flamebait...
Great sample... They should test the algorithm on maybe 80 historical seasons and maybe we will be able to see something. Well, the problem with that is the NCAA tournament hasn't always used seeds, and only opened up to 64 teams in 1985. So you might want to see results from the past 23 seasons. That's why I don't trust most of the stats analysts provide unless they preface it with, "since the tournament expanded to 64 teams..." For example, UCLA has eleven or twelve national championships but most of those where back when you only had to win two or three games to claim the title. Six games is a marathon.
They are on my list of books to read (after the Ender's series). I have heard that the Dune books get better and better, with the fourth book being the best, and after that it's not worth reading the others. The fact that they are making a movie for the first book means that they will most likely use the revenue from it to make a movie for the second book, and so on, until we have four movies for four books. This fits in perfectly with what could be a new practice in Hollywood: not stopping with a mere trilogy and going for a fourth movie (see: Spider-man, LoTR + The Hobbit, Die Hard).
One of the links in that WSJ article had a comparison for year to year tickets sold, and indeed they have been going down for most years since 1999. Here is the link.
I am never surprised that Box Office revenue increases with the way they raise prices every six months. Nine bucks for a student "discount" (in Atlanta) is a slap in the face. There are several movies that I'd like to see right now, like the one with Jack Black AND Mos Def, but I'll wait until it's OnDemand. Five bucks for pay per view is way better than the eye gouge at the movie theaters. I never go to the movies anymore because it's ridiculously expensive.
I'd be more interested in the year to year number of tickets sold.
I think it's awesome when a total dick asks the prettiest girl at the dance to go home with him, but she says no and then asks to go home with a giant asshole.
Why aren't there more stories tagged suddenoutbreakofcommmonsense? It seems that just today there was another story with a somewhat similar tag... Hmmm, maybe I just don't have any commmon sense. Common sense, on the other hand, well, everyone's got that.
"Think of the children..." Just not that much. And not in that way. And don't you dare do it on the Internet. In fact, get the hell away from me, pervert.
reality cannot be ignored or distorted, McCain will be the nominee. Funny how everyone's an expert.
Honestly, if I can't have Ron Paul, then I really don't care who wins. No one else is going to lower taxes. No one else is going to cut spending. If we're lucky we might have someone who ends the war we're in without starting the next one.
I think you're missing the point. While a single egg being penetrated by more than one sperm is rare for humans, it has been known to happen. The big deal here is that the two sperm (sperms?) came from DIFFERENT people.
Honestly I don't know why this article hasn't been tagged with an "lol" or a "haha" yet -- it's flipping hilarious.
More like the name of some Emo band.

Nothing to see here
Weak Forces are a Dark Matter
Sleep yourself to cry
So long and thanks for all the freaks

Air marshalls would be able to foil an identical attack. They are new, and they are a great idea, but they're about the only great idea the TSA has come up with.
That and the decision to gank our liquids. I love that idea.
The only reason I can see anyone moving to Alabama is if they like College Football. I know this is slashdot, but some of us went to schools with good football teams.
On the other hand, if you're not a big fan of professional sports, the closest teams you have to hear about are in Atlanta.

Where is the -1: WTF? mod?
What are you talking about? That could be a great reason for +1, too!

Maybe Mr. Goastse is posting on Slashdot...
When is Slashdot going to implement the "X days since we have duped an article" sign? Better set that back to zero.

Unless it's done by the government. Then it's called the Federal Reserve.

Actually on second thought, wouldn't that be the one DARPA would want to have? It's win-win!

So, how soon will we be able to remove this smell from the seaside?
