You beat me to it.... I had to be sure, so I looked it up on dictionary.com and it's not there.

I'm sure that it will be in the Urban Dictionary shortly though, right next to convertablization.

Instead of pony, package contained bobcat. Would not buy again.

I got a cougar. Would definitely buy again. :-P

They couldn't program in assembly on a TMS9900 if you set their feet on fire and had a ring of naked women throwing pickles at them.

I'm not sure I could either, to be honest. :-P

However, if anybody has anything to support an invocation of Rule 34, then I'd be interested. For, um, academic purposes.

I for one welcome our new naked, pickle-throwing overlords.

Anonymous knows that it isn't a collection of geniuses. What it does know is that it has the power of a mob. Arrest one person in a mob? You still have a mob.

They know that some of them are going to get busted. See party van for clarification.

It will be like Al Qaeda, only the dumb assess join up now and manage to burn off their penises or blow themselves up prematurely before getting to their target. Those with half a brain will not find this fight worth the risk.

From your description dolboyob sounds like a good complement to Kafaesque. Too bad it doesn't appear in standard Russian dictionaries, only slang: A Russsian word equivalent to "dumb fuck." Nu i dolboyob! (what a dumb fuck!).

Whatever happened to "don't be evil?"

it turns out we have been reading that slogan wrong. it should read "don't beevil" but no one is quite sure what the word "beevil" means. But they definitely try not to beevil at google.

Perhaps it's bee toxin or maybe the power ranger's foe Beevil

I've read that summary three times now and I still cannot figure out what the fuck it is talking about. Except it's probably some kind of advertising for something called a Jamendo, whatever the hell that is.

Truly a new low for Slashdot "journalism".

"I demand to be spoon-fed."

That, or perhaps spooned.

I'd call it the definition of Cannon Fodder. For all we know it was really know it could have been instigated by a CoS provocateur to get back at Anonomous, or a Fed trying to build a case for Anonomous and Wikileaks being labled a terrorist organization or a RICO.

The rest of his post seemed pretty straight-forward and not particularly disdainful.

Look here. This works as well for Christian canon as it does for Star Trek canon, and for exactly the same reasons.

Uh, I think they're referring to a "simian" monkey. Not the one you spank. For that, there's still viagra...

Common examples are: beetles, sunfires, neons, miatas, civics

Classic examples- VW Rabbit convertible, Mazda Miata, new VW Beetle.

I've experienced a lot of shaky UPS behavior, but that's what's been used for my big and heavy incoming shipments (that vendor just switched to FedEx [I wonder why?], but I haven't ordered from them since then, and otherwise don't have much experience with FedEx either)
USPS seems to do quite alright with the smaller packages (I both send and receive a lot). Don't have much experience with sending large stuff via USPS, but the one time I recall doing so, the clerks were serious about making sure I used boxes that were sturdy enough.

Look down the alphabetical order a bit and read those definitions - LOL

huevos are eggs ... ?are you saying he's gay? I think you meant cajones, gringo.

Nope

Hehe, caught me. "chewn" is a word you'll find in the Urban Dictionary as opposed to Wiktionary.

Let's get the terminology right here. It's called "gate rape".

yeah, that's the way to spin it gramps, awkwardly try to cover up your bout of CRS while ranting about how these damn kids don't appreciate the luxury they wallow in, and how did they get on your lawn... For an encore, you can complain about the ebbil gubbemint wanting to force you to pay for other people's hospital expenses, and they better keep their mitts off your medicare...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gosu OK snark aside I think that is the meaning they were going for.

You think you are funny don't you?

This is serious . Those poor fluffers working on the set did not get paid because of these acts of pornographic piracy.....

The shocker is two in the pink one in the stink. This is more like boring girl girl action.

Durp Speak? Care to define it for me - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=durp+speak

Yes, some folks won't be rocket scientists(I assume that's what you meant)

No, I'm pretty sure he meant Rocket Surgeon

All I can say is that my wife's NORCS [sic] are definitely a source of some economic power, and the envy of some (me, in particular) for their reserves of natural resources.

The act of have a sex sandwich with a mother and daughter who's combined weight is over 400 lbs http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dutch%20sandwich

They're not called tramp stamps especially when they are in the lower back. Tramp stamp very specifically means lower back tattoo. The "theory" is that such tattoos are usually meant to be "alluring" and what not but generally are only "trashy" and women who take such tattoos to appear more alluring and sexy are - generalyl speaking - cheap and easy. If you use it to refer to all tattoos on women, you are doing it wrong... Tramp stamp at Urban dictionary.

I've known a few women who've had either a butterfly or playboy bunny tattooed in their lower back and the word tramp stamp really fits there... I've also known women with other kind of tattoos (such as those covering their whole back) and they definitely don't belong to the same category.

Its not homosexual according to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=space+docking

Imagine if *humans* didn't have standard docking ports.

Not all do. The popular meaning might be a bit different than what you were thinking.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=docking

a derivation of gay meaning lame. meant to be non-offensive to individuals of a homosexual persuasion.
"That coffee cup is broken. How ghey."

So your attempt to justify the use of "gay" is rather ghey.

(though actually neither one is really all that acceptable, except when referring to Apple).

"May be?" Saying the morality of this "may be flawed" is like saying my pet unicorn "may be flawed".

Ironic Understatement .

That's the kind of think I'd jump right to UrbanDictionary for - likewise, on some other things, I'd head right to Wikipedia.

The flip side is, perhaps we will get back to deliver information instead of delivering effects. I am so tired of websites that make me work for the content

I couldn't agree more. How many websites do you visit where the ads consume the majority of the bandwidth, slow things down and make looking for the content akin to Where's Waldo? The flippier side is that we will end up having to pander to just about every disability out there. When does it stop? What about catering for Hemispatial Neglect at the local restaurant? Should the waiter rotate the plate 180 degrees when the patron thinks their meal is finished? I know it sounds like a bit of a troll but where the fsck does it all stop? Do corners require padding to make the world leprosy-friendly?

And to be quite frank why should the non-handicapped be responsible to make the world handi-friendly medium that is predominantly visual accesible to those without eyesight? Why was i required to install a very expensive handicapped access to my building when it never has any actual visitors? And, why can't I smoke in my own property that is never visited by the non-smoking nazi brigade.

If I have to make my damned websites accesible to the blind then so should those bastards that use flashy bandwidth hogging banner ads? I guess the biggest technhurdle for those bastards is how to make a 160 character text file consume 15MB.

Yes, I got out of my cardboard box on the wrong side.

Personally, given the ubiquity and propensity of life to flourish wherever it can

We have only ONE place that we know life flourishes.

...and at least one more (relatively) nearby where we can test the theory (Europa), plus one other place where there is speculation based on (admittedly circumstantial) evidence that life once existed (Mars).

Also, the star is a red dwarf. Besides being plentiful fodder for jokes involving the word "smeghead", it also means that the star burns a lot cooler than the one we're currently parked next to. I'm also fairly sure that the folks eyeballing this thing would have taken the whole "it has an atmosphere but doesn't rotate" thing into account as well.

No idea if tidal locking always means no plate tectonics, though. I'd be wondering how life would get along w/o a magnetic field to shield it from UV and hard radiation (though that would depend on the spectrum put out by the star in question...)

So does this involve an Oracle database somehow - in which case "Oracle" should have been capitalized - or are we talking about a real, honest-to-goodness oracle?

For a moment I thought we were talking about _the_ Oracle, although that also should have been capitalized. I think it's unwise to draw any conclusions from spelling or grammatical forms that you might see on the internet though. Even more unwise if the source is slashdot :)

For instance, if you saw the phrase "I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse" on slashdot, it would be probably still be a story about equine masturbation.

...one count of perverting the course of justice.

Does that satisfy Rule 34?

Here it is called PEBCAK

What about god? What observation tells us that he does not exist? Well, we haven't seen him, and nobody we know has seen him, but given his scope, he could be literally anywhere, in (or even outside) an extremely expansive universe. We haven't found any gods occurring naturally in the universe, but then again, the god that is claimed to exist by christians isn't exactly claimed to be common.

What about Space Unicorns? What observation tells us that they do not exist? Well, we haven't seen them, and nobody we know has seen them, but given their scope, they could be literally anywhere, in (or even outside) an extremely expansive universe. We haven't found any Space Unicorns occurring naturally in the universe, but then again, the Space Unicorn that is claimed to exist by believers isn't exactly claimed to be common.

What about Thetans? What observation tells us that they do not exist? Well, we haven't seen them, and nobody we know has seen them, but given their scope, they could be literally anywhere, in (or even outside) an extremely expansive universe. We haven't found any Thetans occurring naturally in the universe, but then again, the Thetans that are claimed to exist by Scientologists aren't exactly claimed to be common.

What about ghosts? What observation tells us that they do not exist? ......

What about Flying Spaghetti Monsters? Or Norse Gods? Or Mbaba Mwana Waresa? What observation tells us that they do not exist? ...... ....(This could go on forever)....

The DoD has issues with classifying data, yes, but they have to deal with some odd situations. A good example is a well known (publicly) Air Force project that I can't remember the acronym of but someone Googling could find it in a few minutes I'd imagine. This project used a 30 node Teradata system (NCR) with a combined total of 18TB (36TB if you count the mirror). None of the data was even classified as 'sensitive' on it's own, but after several years of gathering data it was decided by an audit that in aggregate the data was Top Secret. This meant physically moving the servers and logically moving the data along with network/load balancers/IDS and combing through Jiggabytes of data and labeling each... and no, only the data owners could do that so just running some SQL queries against it and going away for the weekend wasn't sufficient.

Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of WTF issues with data classification and many other OT issues, but the DoD is a big, constantly moving animal and not all of the appendages talk to one another. I've come to accept something Douglas Adams tried to teach me back in 1987 with Bureaucracy: this is how the government works and changing it would only result in more paperwork.

* disclaimer: this is in the context of American English, but I'm pretty sure that "brief" doesn't mean "lawyer" in any of the others...

I've heard it used as slang for a lawyer. Mainly in the UK. Urban Dictionary seems to know it as well.
