Well actually, if you left your car parked overnight on the road with the doors open and the keys in the ignition, then you deserve to get robbed very much in my humble opinion. Just send me your address and I'll do the honors. I mean, the POLICE aren't there to protect that kind of people. We have rapists on the street..muggers and drug cartels and money launderers..
The world doesn't have time for this kind of stupidity. You're wasting our resources, man. Think of the children.
Dude, are you spamming on slashdot? No offense or anything like that, but we're gonna kill ur azz man. Rip your intestines out and hang them on the server cabling. Don't ever spam again dude. Just don't.
Most retailers offer great prices because they are big not the other way round. Have you ever heard of newegg? Economies of scale.
The word "cheap" may mean small startup businesses, however, and if you are supplying your credit card info directly to Uncle Joe's Hardware and Pottery, then you deserve to get phished.
He meant mice share 90% of their genes with Americans.
**me runs away, comes back
If it was as simple as that, we would have a map of the human brain in a few days time (10% left to analyse). The human brain is an entirely different story. We share many of the same features, like memory funtions and the parts of the cerebral-cortex that control them, but human brain functions are incredibly complex, particularly involving cognitive psychology. Psychology and neurology remain very primitive sciences at the time being. Not long ago, we were chopping off pieces of mice's brains to find out what controlled memory loss. Electrical signals are produced rapidly and continously, the chemistry is impossible to study in real time.
Therefore I think this is not even significant for mice. Just because we know what genes produce which cell types does not mean we understand their operation.
the collective pornography industry is sitting back and having a good laugh. Just because it's pr0n doesn't mean you don't count it. Be fair. We know you've all done it, you statistics-recording, survey-writing freaks!!
P.S: TFA looses its significance when you realize that most of the 1.4 billion video views were of the same scantily clad 14 year old girl.
I agree..I wasn't excluding the believers from the assholes club - I'm just saying they are the only ones to have a viable alternative to working/existing to make money alone.
It's very sad, because people BS themselves into thinking that there's something else keeping them going; love, betterment of humanity..etc, but there really isn't anything there apart from a few instincts that need to be satisfied. Monothiests, in theory, monopolize "purpose".
There is only a subtle difference, but it's there. Maybe the kind submitter (who should be banned for being such a lame fool) would care to give us #3:
We have reached a point where if you have bungee-jumped at some point in your life, the govmint (or some evil agency)has a right to take you on Zero-G surgery tests, where they have your belly open and your intestines floating around 30000 feet above America. I know it's stupid to bungee-jump but isn't this too much? What next, you Ministry-of-Truthians?
What? I didn't RTFA you say? But that means nothing, only perhaps that you are new here;)
So in other words, it's only an issue if you have buns of steel, or lick your nuts after the uranium's been there.
Actually, it's still an issue if the uranium's just "been there". Licking your nuts afterwards is an extra feature, but having a radioactive metal rod in your underwear is not a non-issue. I hope.
But if only alpha particles are released then why does the uranium have to be stored in uber-thick containers and the people handling it have to wear all that nasty shite protecting their balls? Hollywood?
Although snakes and earth worms and spiders look ugly as hell, I still love what they do.
Well that just makes you a weirdo, doesn't it? Snakes and spiders are officially employed in scaring the bejeezus out of people. If a snake isn't scaring some poor schmuck senseless, it's slacking on the job.
Based on this analysis, what part of "what they do" have you fallen in love with?
I think they need to narrow it down a little - you know, focus on more important things like testicles. Apparently, Dell is more or a threat to our collective biology than the Iraq war. You can't ignore this sort of thing when you go sci-fi like this.
Limbs are great, but some limbs are are more important than others. Priorities, people.
That was the funniest offtopic post and mod I've ever read.
Dude, we don't care if you have ferrets named Captain and Cats by your exgf. How can that information possibly improve our lives? And what the crap is an exferret? Is it like a ferret that leaves with your gf, who named it? Or did it just roll over and die?
I didn't know there was a website for exploding laptops! So many people have had their balls fried, it's just shocking. I mean, this is art, man. People on the tubes are documenting how other people became sterile - I'm lost for words.
On a sidenote, from TFA:
firemen and sirens and paramedics (happily unneeded) and police and a man with a notebook asking questions for the fire report.
If I were Telsa, I'd be asking the police if they thought it was funny bringing that guy along. Come on..
With this kind of technology, there is one small fault: When you fart, it's game over for the guy with the joystick (how else do you control these things?).

You're both religious people who believe in science? Crap! Where do you guys live? Do you have email? How can I contact you? I want to be friends!!!
OMG!!!

'colonial times' being pronounced "when North America was Britain's bitch" if you like
And how do we define our times, where Britain is America's Bitch? The post-colonial times?
Also there are a fair amount of women that fall into the FREAK category.
Tell us more.
Geeks are taken seriously in NZ,
*me gets hopes up
almost as important as the sheep.
Ooooooookay.
who is this gartner person anyway, and why do you all hate the sombitch??

Only people who believe in God have a real reason to get up in the morning.
The rest of us are either in it for the money, or under the illusion that they are not.
No - my RSS feed says:
500 miles on a 5 minute recharge?
for #2 it says:
Charge in 5 minutes, Drive 500 miles?
There is only a subtle difference, but it's there. Maybe the kind submitter (who should be banned for being such a lame fool) would care to give us #3:
"For a 5 minute recharge, 500 miles!"
How about: "leave us alone you bastards!".
I love it when dupes are duped, but 2 on the front page is not quite enough. Can we have 1 more please?
3 stories about 5-minute charges, all on the front page with slightly different names.. that would be art!
