Bon Temps is a fantasy world set in Louisiana. Shape shifters, faeries, and vampires...
Accent is certainly NOT english...

Hell yes! It is about time too...

The fact that Facebook sends CD's to people never even knew. Is this a euro thing only?

I agree 100 percent... But what to do about it?
I would assume all this computer firepower will somehow level via market forces... BUT at the expense of little poor me and my e-trade account?
Seems to me the "knowing" of this could be used by someone who is smart... i.e. a "hacker" but again, how?

Anonymous is right....
Someone bump up parent post...

Wandering in the jungle hearing voices.... "Zoom zoom zoom"
Parrots and TV commercials don't mix...

I use AT&T... but the fact they have an exclusive with Apple, and they want T-Mobile.... doesn't remind ANYONE here of another company we tend to love to hate?
Speak about the "freedom" of the free market all you want, but I for one, applaud the governments actions here... Fsck AT&T...

Probably have won many european lotteries by now...

I agree...
Groupon "seems" to be a strange scheme...
Not as transparent, as say, my sig line! :P

Patent Reform is just the kind of thing that would be gridlocked in congress. Whomever brought it up, regardless of merit, would be opposed by the other side.
However, in order to fill campaign coffers, I bet you will see stuff come up regularly, with a wink wink across the aisle, as a fund raising tool.

Thanks Rob, have been enjoying Slashdot for years...

The Chinese are going to make to Alpha Centauri before we do, apparently...
High speed rail across Europe? That is pretty cool...
Hope we can survive the nuclear age..

Short answer... No...
Consciousness barely explains quantum theory... so how could it be the other way?
However, I am sure quantum "stuff" and freewill consciousness are related deeply...
But beyond any explanation better than faith....

Are you kidding? Graphing Calculators? I had graph paper, number 2 pencils and a sliderule.
Cosines, sines, tangents were tables in the back of the book.
