"a quick mention that this number is on the Federal Do Not Call list sends them into a near panic state, scrambling to hang up"

Really? I've telemarketed before in my dark past. When people told me they were on the do not call list I would say 'I don't care' and would go into the pitch. Then they'd hang up on me. It was just fun when people thought they could thwart me by being smarmy or clever. I hated my job and all those who I had to deal with on the phone. So anybody who tried stuff like the 'do not call list' automatically wound up back in the caller registry. Your best bet is to just hang up the phone.

Wow Kdawson did you choose that red colour all by yourself? This surely is big important news. Seeing as time travel is possibly the most pressing scientific issue of the day. Plus the inclusion of non specific aspects of quantum mechanics really lends a sense credibility to the theory.

I used quantum mechanics to type this message out.

You know full well they just posted a story about Frank Zappa!

Give it a rest! Slashdot's clearly focusing on proper science and technology stories.

Lord almighty.

The wagon wheel people were at least smart enough to adapt to the changing industry. They tried to leapfrog automobiles all together and developed rocket engines. Sadly it marked a messy end to the leisurely carriage ride. However, it did kick start the space race.

"even if they stopped it today i wont trust seafood anymore ever"

I don't trust it already. The whole industry is regulated by old one eyed fishermen in Salwesters who just spit on the floor all the time.
