What would it mean for people to "sensor bad taste and content, jokes or editorial by themselves" in this context? Not watch those episodes when they come on because it's "too soon"? Yeah, that could work. Or TV stations could just, you know, play other episodes for a while.
they discovered that every big band is identical
*Ahem* Freudian slip...
They didn't discover that time is circular, they discovered that every big band is identical. That's why they can kill "themselves" after a future big bang without creating a paradox.
What problem am I supposed to be seeing?
If you ever need proof of how mindlessly pro-nuclear the Slashdot crowd is, just look at the 26% who say they now think nuclear power is *safer* than they did before.
Why in the world did that become a meme?
That's the problem, we don't have to anymore.
Well, anarcho-primtivism is a fringe environmentalist movement that calls for an end to civilization and returning humanity to a primitive state. Doing so would entail drastically reducing the number of humans on Earth.
I still can't believe they made that movie. When I saw previews for it, I was 100% positive it was a joke, one of those "generic dramatic trailer" parodies about a mundane and unexciting subject. When I saw comments along the lines of "I can't wait to see this movie!", I laughed at them for not getting the joke.
But it still shows the URL of links you mouse over in the location bar. Every time it does that and I see the location bar change, I think a new page is loading or some other sort of activity is happening. It's driving me nuts.
Browsers are going the way of minimizing the amount of space taken up by the user interface and maximizing what's available to the actual content.
When web browsers were new and screen real estate was limited, that might have been a good idea. What the hell is the point of removing functionality to save a dozen or two vertical pixels today?
I'm confused. What glory days of mainstream Linux success would you like to see come back?
It should have been Assange, yes. But even assuming it's *not* going to be Assange, why the hell should it be Mark Zuckerberg? What makes him the person of this particular year? Did Facebook do anything new in 2010 while I was avoiding it like the plague?
I assume it's too short for good movies, plays and operas as well?
If you want to equate wanting to know what government officials do while on the job with wanting to know about the personal lives of celebrities, you've already lost the argument.
