I know WTC/9-11 is the focal point for cloying sentimentality for the US and I know New Yorkers insist that NYC is the only place on the planet of note, but seriously? This is not news for nerds. This isn't even news.

I hear an excellent captain has just become available.
I'm not an unreasonable man; you can forego the bikini if you like.
...from Fallout: New Vegas - Lonesome Road add-on. Obviously not at all as iconic or prolific enough to be included in a poll like this but when a flying, beeping sphere is the most endearing character in a game it's probably worth noting. As a companion in the main game he's fairly average but the storyline and dialogue in the Lonesome Road add-on itself is great.

Yeah, I bet hardly anyone on
Man, you do some weird shit with Facebook...
I think if I were in the field and developed a way to cure all vision ailments I wouldn't release my data until the year 2020, just for the ironic value.
"Even though they compromise only 1% of deaths [...]"
Comprise. The word is 'comprise'.
In German that word is unnecessary; submitter is just trying lose weight, get rich, and live healthier.
17 lives lost in the last 50 years of U.S. space exploration really is not too bad considering how many lives where lost during other times of exploration, pioneering eras and the building of industry.
But when those losses could have been prevented had the people with authority not ignored those with operational knowledge then it really is unacceptable. If someone gets struck by a micro-meteor out in space or dies because of a serious failure after weeks of operation then yeah, that kind of thing can be considered the price of pioneering; the kind of stuff you just can't practically account for. Dying in an explosion seconds after launch from a fault that was detectable and warned against prior to launch is not.
I apologise for that; I have a very rye sense of humour.
Thank God its not shedding the amount of gas a politician evacuates each year. It would be barley visible.
I know right! And then wheat would we do?
...since 2005.
Nice tabloiding, Slashdot.
So I guess you're in favour of dictating to the nations how they're going to do business with the world? [...]
First of all, doing business and viewing websites are not the same thing. This is a censorship law masquerading as nationalist economic policy. Secondly, none of those things you say require this law. A country can put tariffs and customs fees on imported goods to protect local economies if that is truly their intention. Having a
Pfft. Your blind acceptance of the American-dominant perspective that the US can do whatever they want is pathetic. The world does not have to do things your way, no matter where the DNS root servers reside.
I'm not American. Nor is the entire Internet besides Belarus. But thanks for the ignorance-induced lecture on US hegemony.
I'd MUCH rather see this approach become standard than SOPA or the Chinese approach to censorship.
False dichotomy. It is not necessary that we choose between these; there still remains the option of an open Internet, despite what some would have you believe.
What the gods would destroy they first submit to an IEEE standards committee.
