Will the E. Coli survive the trip?

stupid car article day on Slashdot?

There were many different flavors of soylent, it's just that the green one tasted best, was highest in demand, and happened to be made of people.

This is what killed Anton Yelchin.

ARIIA was the name of the machine and actually I kind of enjoyed Shia Labeouf in it. He didn't jump the shark until sometime after 2008 apparently.

There is a scene in Mr. Robot where a girl dumps a bunch of infected USB stick in the parking lot of a police station, and a cop picks one up and plugs it into his computer. I thought this was rather far-fetched, but I guess not.

"When will Slashdot support HTTPS?"
Time to change your sig, dude.

As an employee of the USPS, I am also in 100% agreement.

Here's the sound of a nuclear rocket going over your head: whooooooooooooooooosh!

Just to be clear, there is no innate natural law that we are all guaranteed free speech. Throughout history people have silenced others that they disagree with, by many means up to and including killing them. In the United States, what is meant when we say we are guaranteed to a right of free speech is limited to being *mostly* guaranteed that the government is not supposed to interfere with our right to free speech. It doesn't apply to other individuals or groups. If you stand on someone's private property (including their online property) and spout hatred toward them there is nothing in the law to keep them from kicking you out.

We would probably all be amazed (or maybe not...) by the number of people who effectively are doing this by never testing the "restore" part of the "backup" procedure.

If I'm walking down the hall at work and somebody offers me a free donut, there's a pretty good chance I'd take it even if it's not my favorite kind. But put that very same donut for sale at a typical donut price, then I'd be much less likely to purchase it because likely it's not the flavor I want and/or I don't really feel like a donut at that time, at least not enough to part with cash for it.

But does eating that donut fill you up and make you decide to not buy a donut yourself when you otherwise would have? Then it's still a lost sale.

I love the way your sig (which you probably didn't even think of when you posted this) is a perfect reply to the rest of your post.

This is actually a pretty good shibboleth. It can be used to identify trolling assholes with almost 100% certainty.
