OMG .. you've started Train flame war. This will be too nerdy for even slashdot's blood.

They just don't want people to know all their medical information got compromised as well. Just kidding (for now) but only a matter of time before some major RHIO/HIE/NHIN to be breached.

Just proves again .. Doctors and the medical industry fail at computers.

He even broke parts of the National Cathedral - Turns out, He's not Episcopal .... He's Quaker.

Actually, Bjorn Stronginthearm is my uncle.

You must know of their http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2391554&cid=37167712">plans too and are trying to get on their good side. Like the Remora, a few lucky souls will be allowed to serve them in the Cave of Hops and Honey. It will involve a lot of temporal maintenance and cleanup; on the plus side, the Hilter Time Traveling Exemption (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlekz83hawz) will be lifted and whole cottage industry will be setup to assassinate him over and over again (that's why they used the Ruskies to steal his body, it's part of the Fugacious Firmament Flow Faunt).

"In May 2011, studies involving tardigrades[Aquaursus] were included on STS-134, the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour."

Should have read that earlier, these are advanced scouts for the Space Bear. I mean ... obviously.

They prefer the term Aquaursus. Bears' real name was originally in German which they spoke ... later they would go on to form ancient Slavic languages as well and star in Bugs Bunny cartoons. The Ursidae Cabal knew that knowing their real name with give power over them including being able to merge with one to become a werebear (you might heard of one .. ColBEAR). The story of owlbears is too gross, but Aquaursus were ancient protobears that evolved into a highly intelligent republic of entities - retaining individuality while having the benefits of a hive collective. They are waiting on humanity to fuck up and/or help them crack the Earth Egg releasing their next form: the Space Bear. (BTW, humanities real name, given to us by the Honeybadgers, is also lost. It translates to "Givers of Plastic" or "Suckers" depending on who believe.)

Also see, Hayao Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" which is an allegory for this tale.

I'm too tired. I read that as "as evidenced by LRH (L. Ron Hubbard), it is implausible life evolved." And, i agree with that. Course, the counter argument is he was a highly evolved gibbon (no offense towards gibbons).

Sounds like something from tvtropes.org, it's even Capp'd.

My sentiments exactly. Not to mention other algorithms that start incorporating similar tactics mitigating the effectiveness. Just beware the feedback loops (reflexivity).

Ooops...

Bitchin is old as games itself. google avgn ninja gaiden for a funnier take.

Probably just as accurate to boot.

I remember as a kid/teen reading the trademarks Mortal Kombat and thought Scorpion was just stupid. So nobody can call have a character called that? (Would anybody want something so unoriginal anyways).

How about - Quarryform then sue himself?
