Due to the variety of ages on Slashdot, of course 22+ is going to be the primary answer. If they asked "in what year did you first get a cell phone?" that would be a more interesting result set. For me it was late 2004, junior year in college. Not quite the last of all my friends to get one, but just almost. The only other guy who didn't still lived at home, so... yeah.

Natural Gas - 26%
Large Hydroelectric - 7%
Renewables* - 14%
Nuclear - 9%
Coal - 44%

*Renewable energy sources include biomass and waste, small hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal. So, I guess I'd need an "all of the above" option. This is the first slashpoll where I've actually learned something interesting as a direct result!

Castle notwithstanding (I also like it), Joss made Dr. Horrible because of the WGA strike, not because he wasn't making Firefly.

...because most of them pay no taxes

This is the thing that I hear from (mostly) the Right which pisses me off the most. The argument boils down to: Poor/immigrants/liberals/etc. aren't participating in society and freeloading because they "don't pay taxes". This is pure bullshit.

What they really mean is, they don't have INCOME tax liability. Even if I didn't have any (which I do), I am still paying social security, medicare/caid, sales tax, gas tax, car registration, and (by virtue of being employed) payroll and corporate taxes. Just because people don't make enough to be taxed on income, people act like they don't pay taxes at all. Also, I am right in the middle of the Daily Show and Colbert's audience (26 and liberal) and I pay taxes; including income tax. Please find some other bullshit reason to completely ignore my opinion.

Yes. To quote Jon Stewart, to Bill O'Reilly, "You're the sanest voice on this entire network. And that's a little scary sometimes."

Mr. Stewart went on to say that's "like being the thinnest kid at fat camp." I love that line.

Also, when I first saw it my brain was pretty sure it said "google-tits", which is probably an even more common problem...

Interesting. I live in Bozeman, MT which clocks in at somewhere over 35,000 (without the University). For Montana, we're a good sized city (4th largest in the state), though in Japan, California, etc. it would hardly register.

We just need to let them know that nobody ever said those 71 virgins were women.

Ah yes: a huge, eternal, post-mortal D&D session awaits the faithful jihadist.

Raimi also produces the Legend of the Seeker tv series. Make of THAT what you will!

Two things:

1. 'Produces' (actually, co-produces) != has a strong hand in the art direction, storyline, acting, etc. thereof
2. I actually like this show. It's reminiscent of the old Hercules and Xena shows, though not quite as quirky. For a TV fantasy show it has a few things going for it: very accessible plot, attractive females, and respectable fight choreography to name a few.

HA! I'd mod up, but I'm fresh out of points.

I'm not saying $18M is cheap, but if you really want transparency about where tax dollars go it'll cost you. It costs even more if you want something that is simple and straightforward enough for "average" Americans to use and understand...

Man, this kind of beats the story I was just about to submit:

Human Sperm Produced In The Lavatory

I live in Bozeman and I find your ideas intriguing... Slash-nerds for mayor!
