What a fucking lie. If we look at human history, it's obvious that Mankind is a warrior race.

Also, the past-tense verb that you desire is "copyrighted."

When the fuck did Slashdot become exactly equivalent to Microsoft? I thought this was still a second-hand tech article aggregator and instant DDoS machine.

What year is it now? 2012? Hmm...this looks promising, but not quite what I want yet. Wake me up when I can have Doc Ock-like arms attached to me that will function in the obvious intended way (like extra natural arms).

*back into cryogenic stasis*

So basically, you're saying that because the natural people who live in and benefit from the taxable location pay income taxes in that location, the corporation that lives in and benefits from the taxable location should not have to pay income taxes in that location?

Call me when you decide to believe that corporations should acquire all of the responsibilities of people if they want to be recognized as people.

If Slashdot doesn't keep me minimally informed on political issues, then how am I going to know how much each candidate hates my freedom? How would I ever have known who was a traitor and who was against SOPA?

No, 21 lets us have our booze. It repealed 18, which was the one that kicked off the era known as "Prohibition".

So, what you're saying is that if I kill Hitler, then in a really roundabout way, I prevent 9/11?

Also, I didn't even say I was going ti kill Hitler. I was going to get to know him. I doubt I'd have the guts to kill him, especially once I know him, so the Time Corps has nothing to worry about.

Also, I think you mean there was a division of the Time Corps. Or will be, depending on your point of view. But they have to be an organization started in the relative future, who are patrolling the relative past, so they clearly can't exist at this time. Tenses are difficult, I know.

You know, if the FTL neutrinos are real, then there is every possibility that the episodes are on their way to a rescue point in the future right now. There could be a time machine in transit at this very moment, recovering this lost cultural icon for our enjoyment, as soon as they land in the recovery era.

If I were a time-traveller, you can bet that my first stop would be the 1960s, to rescue the lost episodes.

My second stop, of course, would be the mid-to-late 1930s, to have a drink with Hitler and get to know him and then decide whether I have a moral duty or even moral right to kill him.

TFA should clearly be a link to The Onion. Why is a headline such as this not a story right out of The Onion? Along with pizza being legally considered a vegetable in the US, it looks like truth really is stranger than fiction.

I use Linux as my primary OS, because goodness, it is a thing of beauty. But, I also have a Steam account, and sometimes, I like to play Portal and other video games that aren't available on Linux.

I do wish this would change, because the Humble Indie Bundles show every time that there is a market for Linux games comparable to the market for Mac games, but Linux users are willing to pay a higher average price. Developers are losing a lot of money every second they don't convert their Mac development department to a Linux development department.

You're wrong. The error bars on experimental data are a statistical thing. By the very fact that their margins of error didn't allow their confidence intervals to capture the speed of light, the speeds of the neutrinos were statistically significant in their difference from (in this case, above) c for some significance level. I don't know what their level was, but it was probably .1, .05, or tighter, since these are pretty standard significance levels. That means that if all their instruments were calibrated perfectly and their calculations were all correct, there's a 90-95% chance (if the significance level is .1 or .05) that the actual speed of the neutrinos was really within the confidence interval (and so were that much faster than c).

Unless you have a different definition of significance, in which case, you should be more specific.

Dear Science:

As soon as you possibly can, please install four Doc-Ock-like arms on my back, to be controlled in the manner described in this story.

Love,

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The media has been using the DJIA practically religiously to tell us whether or not our country has an economy. But if they can selectively ban companies that do well, are we really in a state of near financial emergency?

Are we only in a recession because companies who are going to say we're in a recession are allowed to be counted in the DJIA?

You'd think the retard selling the bitcoins would just use a block explorer to point to the number of the block containing the transaction and show that as proof that the coins were sent and credited to the buyer's address instead of going through all that bullshit you listed in step 5.

If PayPal wants some kind of "tracking number" for the bitcoins, the block number containing the to/from addresses is as good as you're gonna get.

(Emphasis mine)

Having never owned an Apple product in my life, I just googled images of iphone original, iphone 3g, iphone 3gs, and iphone 4. After carefully comparing the changes over the years, I think I have a pretty good guess about what the iphone 5 prototype probably looks like.
