I simply cannot function without that browser add-on. Why is Google doing this? I will be forced to switch browsers. :(

Actually *several* orders of magnitude would make it at least $199,000 or $299,000.

Excellent idea. I was at a high of 234 pounds for my 5'10" body - obese. I started having as large of a breakfast as I wanted, a smaller lunch and just yougurt for dinner - basically skipping the last meal while still letting my body know it didn't need to kick into survival mode. Over the last four months I have lost 35 pounds - actually just broke the 200 mark for the first time in 15 years yesterday! :) I stopped feeling hungry in the evenings after about a week.

Again, much like Bitcoinica, there will be no police involvement or even a report filed. And again, like Bitcoinica, this will eventually be revealed as an inside job. I don't understand what the entire bitcoin community keeps falling for these obvious scams.

"Some of us are older than the average slashdot reader" I'd guess exactly HALF of you are older than the average. :)

1971 to present is 40 years, not 50.

I went to a concert around 10 years ago, when I was about 30. I was the oldest person there. :)

http://www.pocketcalculatorshow.com/nerdwatch/fun2.html That was the first computer I wore. Didn't help me meet girls back in Grade 12 - I wonder if today's wearable electronics will help better?

I've often wondered if it would be possible to set up a legal suicide service. Put checks and balances in, as well as a cooling off period, and let people who choose to die, die with grace, We are going to have large amounts of death due to climate change, and some people who survive will suffer. Countries have had policies on who would live/die in disasters for years. We need to stop thinking of a life as sacred and see it as it is.

People are going to stop walking around their car and glancing at their vehicles, choosing instead to trust the technology. It won't be long until a child's toy, then a beloved pet, then even a child gets crushed under a wheel, out of sight of the cameras. :(

Just this past week the US government seized 75+ domains without any notice. Is this any different?

"'American business is under assault from counterfeiters and pirates every day, seven days a week," Seems to me "kuwaittimes.net" needs to be added to the list of 75 domains the US government seized earlier this week.

I suffer from general anxiety disorder. It has affected my relationships, my health and my pocketbook. As of Tue I am being forced to declare bankruptcy, despite the fact WHEN I WORK I made $30-$40 an hour. I find it almost impossible to keep a job because of it. I really wish I had read this Slashdot story back in 1983. :)

How can you be raised to suppress millions of years of evolution? If you're male and you see a naked woman (when you haven't seen many) you are going to feel something, no matter how you are raised.
