Does this mean I will no longer be able to patent the wheel??

You sound like a pretty boring guy.

No offense, just an observation :)

I was about to mention that movie. I suppose there isn't as much to get inspired by nowadays.. If you remember the teenagers in the flick were inspired by Sputnik, the first man made satellite.

Blasting things into space is so common in today's world.. I wonder what sort of things we need to do to inspire the astronauts of tomorrow

Just come practice your hobby in Canada, we'll allow anything! In fact, I think that my neighbour might be the world's newest nuclear power.

So that's what that was!

I thought I was just closing in on a rave...

I see many problems with this. Sometimes a compromise will not produce the best document for all, and a large user base will almost always result in a compromise between various factions, each one with its own thoughts and viewpoints.

geek gear!

Dude, dreamweaver sucks. There's way too many problems with it

This wouldn't be a problem if we adopted communism.

One ballot, one candidate. No problems!

I'll contribute the cup holder.

Hmm.. Animals seem to be pretty popular logo material.

How about a pig?

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I have reservations about a guy named Brian "the Rocket Guy" becoming the next space power.

How about using an identity matrix instead?

Oh yeah.. hackers, not math geeks. whoops

Imagine how much useless bullshit would be posted on a forum like this if one went up.

I mean, come on, just look at slashdot. ;)

Oh shit, this is patented???

This is gonna cost me a fortune!

There is no denying that there are problems with the patent system in this country. The real question is: What are they going to do about it?

geek gear

none of this really matters, of course.

as soon as the chinese get their space program in gear (10?20? years), things will change.

another space race perhaps? who knows. competition will help, whatever happens.

IMO the RIAA should be turned into a reality tv show on which the executives slowly get voted off until none are left.

I dunno...

Sitting on your fat ass in your car doesn't do any wonders for your weight either

because it looks stupid. and the government, as always, tends to lean towards things that are and/or look stupid.

Bad smells ARE a lot harder to stop, especially when I'm producing them.

Imagine being stopped by one of these officers on the street for "letting one go".

i'm just waiting for bush to slap economic sanctions on the sun for failing to go along with his whole "either with us or against us" thing.

haha

no... under the geneva convention i am to perform the so called "female blowjob", as defined by the treaty of versailles in 1945 to be the going down on female genitalia.

also looks like the other great innovation they are introducing is a.. new clock

this sort of reminds me of friendster..

by the way, friendster is not a good place to pick up chicks

geek gear

yep, that's definiately fishy.

they're up to something.. for sure.

i think i got it.. they're trying to take over the world. call 911!

what, you're not running windows 98? man, get with the times

geek gear

gonna bet my gf a bj that there are no red lights on our drive home tomorrow.

wish me luck!

geek gear

what are you talking about?

i wish my box had a pc speaker built in.. playing all those oldschool games just isn't the same with an audigy 2 w/ $400 logitech speakers

geek gear

silly rabbit, geeks never go all the way

geek gear

I use mine as a toaster.

geek gear

they exploded.

geek gear

YES!@# I can finally play n64 games on my box.. wait.. what??

Cool stuff?

More like 1% cool useful stuff and 99% useless flashy stuff that we'd never need but it's going to get shoved down our throats anyway.

that's not a bug, that's a feature!

Bullshit.

80% of the computer newbies I talk to have no idea what Linux or UNIX are. A lot of them do not make a clear distinction between the OS and the hardware it runs on.

"What kind of computer do you have?"
"Windows 95!"

I wouldn't want a warning sticker like that on my wang either, although it is probably warranted.

Hey, at least if your network gets infected with something nasty, the chances of it infecting the rest of the net are small(er).

Thanks!

It's not that they have very little idea (which might be true). The main problem is that slashdotters do not contribute much money to government coffers, and so, their opinion does not matter and can be ignored.

the secrets of the pi

Actually, a study recently published by Swedish scientists claims just that; that the presence of Collies and Yorkshire Terriers in public areas increases copyright violations on the internet by 32%.

There remains no doubt in my mind that the government's recent initiatives are a result of this newly published study.

Oh, come on...

People who go out and buy Internet Explorer are by definition stupid enough to buy the software if the box was COVERED in shit.

americans buy books?

let me get this straight.. americans can read?

it's usually a #%#@ to find what you want in one of those giant outlet stores. this should make the shopping experience a bit more user friendly.

however, i can see advertising agencies taking advantage of this.. ie. minority report

the reason spires are built on top of tall buildings is in the hopes that stupid terrorists will crash planes into them instead of the office space below.

don't click here

who is making these "rules" anyway? is there an international body of skyscraper height regulators sanctioned by the UN to measure tall buildings?

if you don't think spires should be counted, GREAT! acknowledge the sears tower as the highest building, move right along. want to think of the cn tower as the tallest building? sure..

unless of course i'm wrong, in which case you might get sued by the aforementioned agency. or worse yet, thrown in a turkish prison.

it isn't, but that's what i've been doing and let me tell you mate, it does wonders in the bedroom.

there was no world's tallest building before this.

this is the first building ever built.

in my opinion the biggest effect this technological breakthrough will have is on pick-up lines. "hey baby, can i plug into your NIC?" don't click here
