I actually work for a company that does this. The crab will only bleed a certain amount of blood (usually ~30%), then stop. We also don't bleed them if they're wounded or lethargic. I will agree, though, that I find the claim of a 'forgettable' creature dubious. Of course, this practice is the alternative of using rabbits to to check for bacterial endotoxins, so take your pick.

While I bought this for her I'd be lying if I didn't say I bought it for myself as well.

Ever since I was a little kid and saw "Back to the Future Part II", I used to dream of the day when I could have my own flying car (be it a DeLorean or not). Of course, as I got older and started actually driving, the idea has become much less appealing. Driving now is, for the most part, a two dimensional activity: you have forward, back, left, right, and all the angles in between. People (apparently) have a hard enough time with that as is. The flying car would just bring stupid into the third dimension.

That the editors would, you know, edit?

Yeah, I'm starting to think that on Slashdot, the word 'editor' has a far different meaning than the one I'm familiar with...

Agreed. Just yesterday I had to change extensions for a bunch of files in a directory, and each of those files was in its own sub directory. Using a little for loop and the handy '*', everything was changed and I could continue on with my life.

The CLI is a tool like any other. Would I want to work with it as my sole means for using my computer? Most definitely not. But I couldn't image working without it, either.

Maybe the leap second got to them?

Given the chance, I would've voted Simon Belmont.

Maybe this is the goal. If people stop buying the DVDs, then there will be no one to rip them and upload the files to The Pirate Bay or some other torrent site. Piracy problem solved!
