And while we're on that topic, why is always considered a bad thing when wealth redistribution benefits the lower-middle income, but it's a good thing when it benefits the upper 2% (e.g. tax breaks for the wealthy)?
Because some wealthy people own the TV channels that tell us whether or not the tax breaks for wealthy people are awesome?
Jeez, lighten up folks. It's obviously just a misfile due to a lack of punctuation in the slashdot categories.
I mean, we all know Climate-Altering Laser Doomsday Device stories are supposed to be filed under SCIENCE!!!
And mispronouncing Iraq as "eye-rack" is the only thing that sets us apart from the dreaded Punners.
I know they say they'll be making an island, but that could just be the cover story. If they turn it all into fibreglass/plastic boats, pretty soon they'll have a fleet of little yachts large enough to conquer the seven seas. It's quite insidious, if you stop to think about it.
Really though, I'm sure a bunch of Dutch Architects would never do such a thing. Or would they?! Dun dun dunnnnn...
Wait, what? William Shatner is fluently bilingual in both French and English. He's even better than our current PM, Stephen Harper, was when he became prime minister. (To Harper's credit, he improved massively in a short time afterward)

These guys take themselves waaay too seriously.
Who?
The XKCD fans who create a wikipedia page about a word that didn't exist until yesterday?
Or the Wikipedia admins who delete a page about a word that didn't exist until yesterday?
To be honest, I think both groups take themselves a bit too seriously. See that talk page in the summary? Yikes.
Wait...
Since today is April 1st, doesn't this mean France has just banned tomorrow?! It's the second and way more stable version of today!
Now how will the madness end!? April 3rd? THERE IS NO APRIL THIRD!
I believe the correct translation for that here in Canada is "Sorry, eh?"
We get a lot of use out of the phrase, I'm sure you can imagine.
That someone else would be very poor, though.
(Moreso than a writer is by default, I mean.)
Also, that someone else wouldn't have a Razzie. Awards are awards! They're like videogame achievements. Gotta collect em all! Even the crazy ones!
I'm always surprised how many people have managed to sub in different music behind Rick Astley singing that. I've seen a few videos like that over the years... some worked, and some definitely didn't.
The most creative rickroll I've ever seen is the PaintRoll, which is a rickroll done in, yes, freakin' Mario Paint.
Why yes, I DO go to youtube.com for all my firefox plugins! I imagine it will be extremely satisfying to finally have something that will protect me from rickrolls, once I get around to clicking on that link.
Hmmm. Does that mean I should rename the passwords.txt file I have on my desktop? Maybe something like kittens.txt? That sounds more secure to me. What do you think?
Neat. There is one problem, though: How are the Ori props going to sell, when so many Stargate fans don't believe that they exist?
Actually, perhaps that could be a selling point. I can see more than one use for being invisible to the hardcore fans. For example, Amanda Tapping could certainly use a Prior's Staff, judging by some of the comments here.
The world is also full of ineffective doctors, the kind who send off a blood test and pronounce you healthy six weeks later despite experiencing constant pain, or who blame swelling on water retention or menopause or a fatty diet, or who think migraine headaches are "stress related", or who cut a mole out and tell you it looks pretty harmless, then call back later to tell you they need to cut some more out because it was malignant, or who don't know the symptoms to a thyroid condition, or who... yeah, I think that's enough examples for now.
They have much better PR than the hypochondriacs, though. I seem to meet quite a few "hypochondriacs" these days.
For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
