Not in this decade it doesn't. But I get the hint, and will depart from your lawn forthwith.

I think the last thing they'd want to do is play a game set in space...

Do you have an argument for the validity of the old standard other than an appeal to tradition? Anyone who cares and who needs to read those books or papers can certainly learn that before a certain date, an older definition was used.

Just because you don't use it doesn't mean it isn't useful or desired. I know a lot of people who have as much scorn for Slashdot as you seem to for Twitter.

Did you try using it to read posts from people you know? Or just random people on the Internet?

Wrong. The whole point of Twitter is that you can text in your tweets wherever. Most people I know aren't in front of their computer when they update.

Given how often I see articles claiming that "print media is in trouble, everything's online now", is investing R&D into video advertisements, not to mention increasing printing costs with this gimmick, REALLY the way to go?

Funny to think about at first, but not actually that weird. This is probably the best way to reach out to everyone who they think needs help...

A substantial minority of thing A is actually thing B. From a logical standpoint, there exists an A that is also a B.

Therefore, all addictions to A are addictions to B. Put another way, if someone is addicted to A, then they are addicted to B.

Spot the fallacy, kids!

Warm? Monster Cables are downright danceable!

I'm sure you could get that kind of bandwidth at your house, too, if you paid enough for it.

The V already stands for virus, ranking 'HIV Virus' up there with 'PIN Number' and 'ATM Machine'. I would hope that a tech site like Slashdot, used to dealing with acronyms, would do better.

Oh it does, if you believe the RIAA's legal theories...

At my high school, you were allowed to have cell phones if you turned them off in class. If your cell went off in class, though, you could be sure of getting detention. Since turning off cell phones during meetings and the like is good etiquette outside of high school too, I say let the students have their phones if only for a valuable learning experience.
