...but just hold on for two weeks and we'll make it alllll better

All I can imagine are situations similar to setting an open access point to redirect everything to meatspin as a prank...or possibly something slightly more malicious

Courtrooms have been closed several times before to protect trade secrets. The Supreme Court case Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto opinion points out that once secrecy is lost, the property interest is forever destroyed and that it should be protected during the process. There are many other ways to preserve secrecy so closing the courtroom may not be necessary in all cases but that may be the only way to protect the trade secret in this situation.

It seems like 3/4th of the publicity Glenn Beck gets is from people calling him a raging idiot. Maybe if we just stop paying attention to him, and Jon Stewart stops making fun of him every single show, he might just go away when he realizes most people don't care about the crap he spews out of that hole he calls a mouth.

Depends on the distro and package maintainer but python is typically a dependency because it has support for python scripted plugins. The Arch package maintainer actually got rid of this dependency, which I noticed when one of my plugins stopped working after an update.

Trojan Hacker edition significantly lowers the chance of UTD's (usb transmitted diseases)

It's lunar cooling!!

I have two younger siblings who are on ADHD medication. They are lively fun people to be around when they aren't on their medication (usually during the summers when they aren't at school because my parents believe the medication will magically bring about better grades). On the other hand, they are zombies and very different people when on the medication. It kills their appetite and they are much less outgoing, it is a very noticeable difference.

But then parents have to deal with them. Why let kids be kids when you can just have them pop a pill and turn into zombies? All the cool parents are doing it.

Not that SheevaPlugs aren't cool but....slow news day?

About half of that is the brain, which comes down to 25 million bytes, or a million lines of code.

I'm not even sure what to say about this statement

I was surprised that there are actually adult movie theaters equipped with things such as IMAX, I wouldn't think National Amusements would be jumping at the opportunity to throw porn up in their theaters.

"So long as your ISP claimed that it was trying to prevent copyright infringement or helping law enforcement, it could be exempted from the net neutrality principles."

So all they have to do is claim? "Preventing copyright infringement" seems to be high up on the list of motivators for anything the ISP's do anymore (and the Feds for that matter). This is so vague it seems like it could be stretched to essentially allow the them to do anything they wanted under the guise that it is "effectively reducing pirating."

I'm sure this will only improve the iPhone's awesome battery life! (iphone owner)
