There. Fixed that for you.

Also, they're fucked because Slashdot has put it on apple.slashdot.org and not the yro.slashdot.org domain.

Go at it, fanbois. This is yer turf.

This came out the day after I 100% completed NSMBW, It was worth the money, totally.

And 99.44% of deaths in 2006 were not caused by drunk drivers.[1] [2]

[1] - Total number of reported deaths in 2006: 2,426,264
[2] - Total deaths in alcohol-related crashes in 2006: 13,491

Couldn't that be covered with a $10 antenna and, if necissary, a $30 converter box?

So? "OH EM GEE OUR NEILSENS DROPPED"

Seriously, just measure your rating some other way - if you can get a count of viewers from Hulu's site then why even care about Neilsen? I understand they're quite the benchmark for TV, but if you're going to come to the nets you can't just change the rules because of your ties to TV counts - Hulu and other sites already provide stats, why change their model to fit TVs?

I'm not equating intelligence with malevolence, I'm saying there is no correlation between intelligence and malevolence. If the aliens are friendly, great, but don't discount the possibility that they may not be friendly. If they're unfriendly AND more intelligent (and they'd have to be to actually reach us), we're in deep trouble.

some of us are quivering hot man-studs with bushy chests, winning smiles and real biceps

Dream on! Actually, though, I gave up the coke bottle glasses a few years ago, and after growing a goatee I don't have much trouble getting women. Unfortunately, dating is damned expensive; I'm always broke. I was better off when I couldn't get a date =(

Because I, as a real live natural person, have more rights than a company. At least I do where I live - not sure about you lot in the US any more, given recent SCOTUS decisions.

I like it that way, as do the vast majority of citizens where I live now, and where I have lived before. Which is why the law (here) favours my right to stay employed and leave when I want, over a company's right to fire me for no reason.

If companies were so concerned about "cheating" in games, why do they build cheat codes into games?

I realize a dozen people have beaten me to the punch on this but some comments are so stupid they just have to be responded to multiple times.

What the fuck? Seriously, what the fuck? When you're playing a single player game, the only limit to what is considered cheating is what you consider to be cheating, because you're only playing against yourself. It literally has zero effect on anyone else if you complete Doom with god mode on the entire game.

This is completely different than playing multiplayer games, where you have to have an agreed-upon set of rules beforehand, usually determined by a third party (the game designer) because you are playing against other people who may or may not agree with you as to what constitutes cheating or, for more complex games, what the "game" itself even is. When you cheat in multiplayer games, it directly affects the enjoyment of the game for other people. Almost universally in a negative fashion.

I'm REALLY hoping you were just trolling and aren't actually this fucking stupid.

What kind of punishment would I get for shoplifting a $16 CD? Isn't petty theft like a $500 fine and community service? This guy didn't even steal anything.

Hi, I work for IOCOM, but I really think you should take a look at our newly announced Visimeet service. It's exactly what you're looking for. Multi-platform; multi-party video conferencing; integrates with H.323 conferencing devices; works w/ webcams on laptops, desktops, in conference rooms, etc.; robust collaboration tools (desktop share, record meetings, chat, whiteboard, etc.); and, most importantly, a client/server conferencing infrastrucure that provides unmatched stability and security.

We've worked with many educational institutions with great success (and pride!). In fact, we were just deployed by one of Minnesota's largest K-12 school regions: http://minneapolis10.cityspur.com/2010/01/19/iocom-deployed-by-one-of-minnesota’s-largest-k-12-school-regions/

Check out our website at http://www.iocom.com/ and feel free to contact us, we'd be happy to discuss possibilties.

Thanks!

And 30 minutes of sunlight in some locations will leave you with frostbite, hypothermia or just plain death if you're running around with a lot of exposed flesh.

A couple taaaalll glasses of milk or losing a few extremities... tough choice.

I just did a bit of research, it would take 10 taaaallll Glasses of Vitamin D enriched Milk to barely get the amount required.

Where did you do your research?

8 oz (a short glass) of vitamin D enriched milk has about 100 IU of vit D; USRDA for vit D is 400 IU.

So that's four short glasses, or 2-3 taaaallll glasses to get the RDA.
