TIME Magazine names "Person of the Year": Not You

Okay, this is off topic, but it must be said. Your "spacetime is a bunch of rubber U-shaped pant crotch things connected by a blobby series of tubes" metaphor really deserves its own page on the uncyclopedia, http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. I'm far too lazy to do it myself, so consider this a challenge.

Is that like Kitten Huffing?

I thought that all-natural kitten huffing was PETA approved?
Or have they changed that recently? :]

Piping cats? Is that like kitten huffing?

False memories are a consequence of insufficient feedback to the mind. Anyone who ever went into an isolation tank (think Altered States, but without the apemen leaving the tank) will tell you. The mind compensates for excluded experience when it's used to experience being included by creating that experience, often indistinguishable from "real" experience of real reality.

Feedback is the return loop of interactivity, after the "sensitive" send loop.. VR is usually (some would say theoretically certainly, as in lesser degrees of infinitude) less interactive than reality. So the mind compensates. Perhaps there is a threshold of interactivity or just feedback (in which we can get a measure of sensitivity) below which the mind starts compensating. Or perhaps it's always a complement, as we remember a continuum of sense images, not the digital representations we actually experienced. From "perfect" VR presentation with no "help" from our minds or in our memories, or down to total hallucinations when the VR is really shoddy, or just perfectly minimalist, like pulling a rorschach trigger.

For an extreme case of these memory tricks, try nemory: What you don't remember, that never happened.

Worthless junk? That's what Slashdot and the Uncyclopedia are for.

May I suggest the uncyclopedia may be a more appropriate place to publish your work.

The Borg is tougher to apply, but perhaps the IE6 has linking capabilities to connect with other VirtualPC's running the version and create a control network across...ok, so maybe that one's a bit of a stretch.

The chair-throwing could be Ballmer violently opposing to certain sites being rendered properly in IE6 and IE7.

Speaking of f'ed over, the story reminded me of this article: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/UnNews:RIAA_CEO_discu sses_the_analog_hole.

A strange thing happened to the universe five billion years ago. As if God had turned on an antigravity machine, the expansion of the cosmos speeded up, and galaxies began moving away from one another at an ever faster pace.

Thailand is now 60% less funny than it was the day before yesterday, according to the Swedish Institute for Rating Amusing Countries.

This makes me think some people just have FAR to much money Also http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/AAAAAAAAA!

But neither of them have articles on the George bush themepark or the McHaggis clan.

I am the Maddox of Slashdot and open source. Posting my satire and wit on the Internet since 1995. Posting it on BBSes since 1986. Maddox is a wannabe Orion Blastar, but I am way smarter than Maddox. You see Maddox hosts his own web site and pays for it, while I post my articles on other web sites and make them pay for it. I am truer to the pirate code than Maddox will ever be. Plus I am a Space Pirate Ninja who travelled from 4096AD back in time. You see, a true pirate don't pay for bandwith, when they can freely post on someone else's web site for free. Just use google to search for "Orion Blastar" to see my articles and Internet humor.

I contribute to open source web sites all over the Internet.

I asked legitimate questions. I stated that Mono 1.2 helps me in my situation to develop Linux applications. Then I get FUD thrown at me by you and your "friends" as well as personal attacks and other fallacies. I get told that "Visual BASIC sucks, use Python instead" and now that "Sun and Microsoft do not help developers like you because their online resources and books they publish are not as good as the works written by flamelords of whom you now are in communication with."

Don't be stupid of course I get better help from Sun and Microsoft than flamelords and trolls like you. Microsoft has MSDN online for free and other free online resources and Visual BASIC.Net 2005 Express edition for free, and Sun has SDKs and online documentation for free. Admit it, you are just following the rules of open source programming in trying to discourage people from learning open source technology for your own job security.

That is ok, I know you are not a mind reader and had no idea that I didn't have a lot of free time to learn a new language. I am a Jamaican and I work three jobs mon, four if you count the part-time job I have at the help desk.

I know that most open source programmers here are really following the rules of open source programming and the rules say to discourage people from learning open source technology for "job security", etc.

use some HeadOn for your headache. Apparently you never read my profile here that says everything I post is a joke. I am found to be funny elsewhere and I exist to expose frauds like you.

I always found this biography on Hitler less dull than the one from wikipedia:
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

142 out of 12,000, some of which aren't really a problem, and that's numbers generated by a critic?

And a very... dedicated critic, too.

I must admit there's a certain recursive appeal to the idea of someone being notable enough for a Wikipedia entry purely because of his vehement attempts to avoid being mentioned on Wikipedia.

As usual, the talk page has lots of entertaining dirt.

(Uncyclopedia has the real low-down, of course.)

The Internet is not safe if you use Windows and IE 6/7. Please Do NOT click any links until these issues are fixed. If you do, you might get pwn3d by 12 year-old script-kiddies or unemployed computer geeks turned hackers that still live with their mothers in the basement and are upset at the world.

Is there anything else that should be done to maximize the utility of their systems, as well as make their first experience with Linux a great one?"

Geez, now, everybody's going to want one. I can see it now, there'll be an Al' Qaedapedia next.

Linux is already gorgeous - it's based on Unix. And Unix is a recursive acronym for Unix Is Sexy. Have you seen her picture? She's kinda hot. See article here:

And to think all this madness started with the ancient Chinese Taoist Goa Tse.

And hopefully the humorless bastards at Wikipedia haven't deleted this yet.

for when they put Uncyclopedia on mobile devices as well. I need access to the funny stuff as well.

" Would that mean if I used ReiserFS that I support murder?

Better than supporting Microsoft.

[kidding! kidding!]" ....Supporting Microsoft is supporting murder. Remember Ballmer and his plans to "...fucking kill Google?" Fucking kill(tm)

A 1 with 100 zero's behind it is a Googol... As far as I know, a Google is a search engine.

The Linux pride, or simply pride, campaign of the open source movement has three main premises:

        * that all people of all computing orientations should be proud, not ashamed, of being young white middle-class Linux-geek men;
        * that computing diversity is a gift to young white middle-class Linux-geek men;
        * that computing orientation and operating system type are inherent, unless of course you dual-boot Windows and FreeBSD and are therefore only fooling yourself.

Pride Parades are held worldwide, wherein young male white middle-class Linux geeks of all colours, ages, operating system types and backgrounds can walk down the centre of the main street of their city and commemorate the original Stallmanwall printer driver riots.

Many parades still have at least some of the original political or activist character, especially in less Linux-positive settings. However, in more Linux-positive cities, the parades take on an installfest-like character. Large parades often involve floats, coders, Mountain Dew, venture capitalists, and amplified music; but even such celebratory parades usually include political and educational contingents, such as local politicians and marching groups from open source institutions of various kinds. In some countries, Linux parades are now also called Linux Pride Install Festivals.

Even the most festive parades usually offer some aspect dedicated to remembering victims of Stallmanwall and anti-Linux FUD. Some particularly important Linux parades are funded by governments and corporate sponsors, and promoted as major tourist attractions for the cities that host them. Other typical parade participants include local Linux-friendly churches such as Emacs Community Churches and BSD Universalist Churches, PFLAB (Parents and Friends of Linux and BSD), and the nerd employee associations from large businesses.

Though the Stallmanwall riots themselves as well as the immediate and the ongoing political organizing that occurred following them were events that were fully participated in by BSD users, X11 people and future Sun founders as well as by white middle-class male Linux users of all races, genders and backgrounds, historically these events were first named Linux, the word at that time being used in a more generic sense to cover the entire spectrum of what is now variously called the Red Hat, SuSE or Debian community.

By the late '80s and early '90s, as many of the actual participants had grown older, moved on to other issues or passed away, this led to misunderstandings as to who had actually participated in the Stallmanwall riots, who had actually organized the subsequent demonstrations, marches and memorials and who had been members of early activist organizations such as the Linux Liberation Front and Linux Activists Alliance.

But eventually the language caught up with the reality of the community and the names have become more accurate and inclusive, though these changes met with initial resistance from some in their own communities who were unaware of the actual historical facts. Changing first to Linux and BSD, today most are called GNU/Linux/X11/KDE/GNOME/Mozilla/gcc (GLXKGMg) Pride Parades. But only by the sort of geeks even the other geeks don't want to hang out with.

Remember: just because you have a personal coding output of zero doesn't mean that you can't take full credit for the programming genius of others for a lifestyle of Slashdot, caffeine and masturbation.

And believe me, you haven't lived until you've seen twenty Linux geeks clad only in silver jockstraps.

Yes, but when you apply a word to an action or condition not normally associated with it (in this case DRM), people will naturally use the most common definition of that word, and a viral infection isn't very accurate.

Thanks, Captain!

Yarr Harr Harr! A goodly Joke. Arrrrrr. It be driving me nuts

Yarr, but tis better than all those other days!

Nah, Extreme Programming is cool enough.

Indeed.

Plus the Nintendo war chest that dates back from the NES era (remember kids: nintendo has never EVER lost any money, even on hardware sales, even for a quarter, even during the worst of the GameCube era) is humongous, and the DS Lite prints money after all.

They can afford several more gamecube-level failures, especially since gamecube-level failures still nets them profits without even the need for first-party games.

We all know where this is going. I'm looking forward!

Yes, it's useful. Like the iPod Nano 200 GB. (For those too impatient to read all the instructions, these are the results.)

Seriously.

They MUST be using Perl to code this thing because that's the only way it could take this long. I know I'm going to get trolled down by all the Perl babies out there, but can you honestly think of any other reason it could possibly take this long to code a FPS? And one with no plot line to boot?

The only way would be code that looked like this:
