Hm.. I just checked back and saw this marked as redundant.
It was the 12th comment. After filtering all the first post (typically 1-7) there were 5 comments.
How can that be redundant? They need to have a flag for "Bad Joke".. then it would work.

For royalties and service fees for patent violation. Early in the year 1775, I filed for a patent in the USPTO. This patent guaranteed me the monopolistic freedom to sue anyone pursuing royalties for a stupid patent.

Damnit, it is just a quote. From trivial pursuit.
I'm not saying it's true. I'm not saying I've researched it. I'm saying that there is a Trivial Pursuit card that has a question that asks, "What percentage of the population has an IQ under 80" and the answer they gave was 50%.
And besides, if you did know anything about IQ tests/scores than you would know that there are a few different types, and perhaps one of those could have the median of 80.

I think it's stupid to even mention Columbine with a reference to Quake.
Get real, I've been playing Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein 3D, Warcraft, Starcraft, Blood, Unreal, and many many many others.
I never had a friggin friend growing up. Those kids were just stupid, whiny, sniveling bastards and the world is just too arrogant to admit that yes, populations do have screwed up individuals. So instead, lets blame video games?
And maybe if those kids could have skinned their school mates they wouldn't have gone on a murder spree?
But you do have a good point with the celeb skins,

Just what you've all been waiting for, the UPnP Toaster. Now you too can *actually* asign your toaster an IP address and have it make toast for you.
No longer is this just a joke, it's a way of life!
damn.. sometimes we just have some weird technology.

I think the only response Valenti would have given is "I don't recall"
They could have gotten a parrot to do the same deposition, and it would have cost less.

I could see if there was GPerl, and SunPerl and IBMPerl, and HPPerl.. but there really is only one person so isn't that the standard?
Hmm.. oh well. If it makes people stop using system calls in perl scrips I'll be happy.. I especially like the 'script' ne 'program' part. Jon++
And why the hell are the first 5-10 posts always flamebait/trolls/offtopic?

Yes, I have been around that long. I didn't create an account until mid-98 I think, not sure. Never bothered to post or login.

Perhaps you should really research what you talk about before you decide to post and more-or-less flame. Here's two points you should think about:
Point A) Didn't say which population, whether it be U.S. or World makes a huge difference.
Point B) Didn't say which IQ testing system.
So now that I fear your staggering intellect for telling me I'm wrong when you obviously have no idea what the hell you are talking about, it's time to go do thing fun. Oh wait.. this was fun. Hm, damn my life is enjoyable.

To Rob and Hemos - I do want to extend my congratulations to you guys. I remember in Dec 97 when I first read /.
Thanks for doing this, and you got your wish and got to do this for a living (remembrance of statement you made a long time ago)
