Slashdot is dissenting into illiteracy.

Don't like blasphemy? Don't search for it.

You're welcome!

Don't enrage your boss, by making excuses, by essentially lying to his face and assuming he is stupid enough to believe your drivel.
Should he accept your drivel, and the role of sucker for accepting your incompetence, and lying on top of it, or should he call you out on your bullshit lame excuse?
I'll bet Linus was more pissed off at having his intelligence insulted with this lame excuse, than he was about the incompetent work.
But given this combination, I don't blame him a bit. If he humbled himself to every fool, and every fool's excuses Linux code would be crap.

You sure it doesn't mean that those with the physical constitution to withstand 4 cups of coffee are resistant to oral cancers?
These studies are meaningless.

"The find increases the chances that life may exist"...
I don't think any find here on Earth can increase chances anywhere else.
The chances of life existing elsewhere is unchanging. Regardless of what humans discover.
I think it just increases the hope of those wishing for the discovery life on other planets.
I personally think it's a false hope, although I'd be excited to be proven wrong.
I also think it's dangerous to rely on a belief in life on other planets, as far as we know life here is rare and unique, and the idea that we can trash this planet, and escape to other worlds as a plausible scenario, or that we can erase all or some life here, and believe that life still exists elsewhere, stands a chance of being tragically incorrect.

If the Israelis are emulating the American Manifest Destiny, they may be doing it the hard way.
Wiping out the Muslim population from Turkey to Pakistan would more closely resemble the way it was done in the US.
The question is raised, "can a military occupation defending itself, be defined as self defense?"

Get a Weber Smokey Mountain BBQ Smoker or equivalent to smoke the turkey. That's not the geeky part.
Add an ATC (automatic temperature control). This will allow you to set it for precise, unattended low and slow cooking.
Better still, get one with wifi and an internet server like the Stoker Power Draft from rocksbarbque.com. (no affiliation, but I do own one).
You can check and adjust your meat and fire temperatures from inside your home on wifi or remotely via the internet on your smartphone or computer.
It can even email you, or serve twitter updates. Run it with dyndns.org, and give your buddies a simple URL to monitor your cook as well.
Then install Stokerlog to your system, so that you can graph meat and fire temperatures and share temperature graphs with your geeky buddies on the bbq forums.
Use a digital camera and take pictures of the smoke ring (smoke penetration) on a slice of meat. Share it on your favorite photo sharing site.
Lastly, get farkles like an instant read thermometer, (I like the Thermapen), and measure the precise temperature of the meat everywhere on the bird.
The satisfaction, apart from the eating, is taking a stone age process; barbeque; and bringing it into the internet age.
I don't know if you could get geekier than that...

How hard is it to implement Slashcode?

Leviticus.
It reinforced my atheism, and affirmed my belief that the Bible is essentially to be discarded as a source of truth, facts, justice, morality, word of God etc, with it's extensive detailing of proper animal sacrifice methods, and recommendations of stoning individuals to death.

The worst thing about Patch Tuesday is when Windows decides to reboot your system when you're not there, without your knowledge, and closes all your data logging programs, or unsaved files, etc.
They don't know how to make software that doesn't assume that the user is some type of inept, mindless, or unimportant jackass.

Get some earplugs.

What the Darwin Awards are missing is that the person may have already procreated prior to dying in a spectacular way.

It's the content of the music, that relays the emotion. Would Robert Johnson, or Django Reinhardt, convey any more or less emotion in vinyl, or 192khz sample rate? You won't extract more emotion from music with more clarity. Less clarity could actually enhance the emotion delivered, for example a distorted guitar amplifier sound. It's too easy to get caught up in the properties of the playback machines, rather than the message of the music, the emotional payload that can be carried just as well through various different quality media. Rhythm, harmony, pitch, tone, timbre all combine to deliver the message, the quality of the reproduction is less important.
If you're old enough, remember enjoying a song on AM radio? Was the sound quality better than CD? Did the content of the song make you feel something in your heart and soul? That is what music is, and good music won't be hindered very much by the media of delivery. Of course we all want to hear music in the cleanest, clearest, and truest way, but don't overvalue it.

They don't have to suck it up, if they don't like it, then why watch it? Turn it off Muslims! There are plenty of jackasses spouting jackassery, you are not required to view it all.

He would smite all religionists, leaving only atheists who live by the golden rule.
