the article-linked site uses U.S. units. it's hard to figure out

"below zero' Kelvin? (is that you, Frank Herbert?) Centigrade? Farenheit?

ears are only useful in meatspace, vestigial organs for the average slashdotter

lying about blow jobs and his not considering that "real sex", totally on the same level as violating the constitution and turning the USA into a surveillance/police state

Obama is not "black", besides having none of the experience of a black who grew up in the USA, he's half white.

it's an auspicious number dear to those in open source, the number of years the GNU project has been flounding about still unable to produce a useble operating system. HURD is not the WURD; it's a TURD

and I'm saying that's nothing new, seen it again and again in my half century on earth

funny, I make two clicks in my distro and I get a stable binary nvidia driver that's never crashed. you using gentoo or some other time-waster?

you're a bit ambiguous yourself, are your "regular clams" the underwater or bearded variety, i.e. are you buttering and tasting marine bivalves or vulvas?

oh no! and here I thought redmond was just being slow making my source printout request as per GPL 2. You really know how to pop someones bubble. Now what am I going to do about my nifty custom .bat file with included Windows 2008 Server R2 that's been so popular on megaupload?

The U.S. has been imprisoning and killing outside the law long before 2001. For example, we had concentration camps for tens of thousands innocent U.S. citizens in the 40s, we mass murdered thousands of innocent SE asians (and those were our ALLIES, not enemies!) in the 60s by deliberately killing their crops to force the survivors to move to cities under our control (and maimed hundreds more because of impurities in the defoliant used)

I tried that, but instead of a solution the google goggles sent a Terminator that killed my boss. Now my company is outsourcing our whole department, to google. thanks a lot, google goggles.

nonsense, article states the rate of production is something like 500 events a year over the whole planet. You're not going to build a planet-wide harvesting system, and if you could 500 anti-protons do not a death ray make.

That's not "climate instability", and these floods and weather have happened before where you live, again and again. Don't fall into the trap of believing climatologist nonsense, who after the facts pull out one of thousands of models and say "oh, see climate change will cause floods!" when four years ago it was "climate change will cause droughts!" And in a violent hurricane season (which has happened cyclically for millennia) they'll say "oh, climate change will cause harsher hurricanes!" utter rubbish, not climate, unscientific garbage.

So the witches, astrologers, and fortune tellers will have to pay income tax like everyone else for their health and pension programs. Free loaders.....
