    This seems strangely familiar, hmmmm... I guess if you just got back from The Matrix Reloaded and have been waiting in line all day, you might not realize, so I'll let it go this time.

    Can you focus and read this on time magazine and then answer all the questions correctly at the end on third page without looking back ?

    I'm assuming that the new procs must have some kind of support for the evil bit.

  9. Apple user group PC970 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Could someone please provide some insightful discussion on the frequency of Mac users, who are queers, and their ownership of big black dildoes? Do they enjoy the use of the traditional black dildo, or do they tend to use double ended dildoes so they may get off with their life mates?

    Mac users are all gay and like to suck off their life partners while using their Macs. Additionally, they film themselves having sodomy and then edit the video on their Macs. I would like to know what everybody thinks on this matter. Thank you in advance.

  10. A thought on how to avoid duplicates by merger · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I just had a thought that would probably reduce the number of duplicates significantly. At the point where the author hits submit, the story checks all of the links in the article and then does a comparison of those against the complete story archive. At that point if the article has a duplicate it will find it and let them know.

    A problem with this method is what may happen with this story. After the editors typically link directly to the story they also link to the referring domain. A way around this is that if there is more than one link in the story then any link to a base level site (ie. www.arstechnica.com) is ignored and the links focus into the sites pages and folders are paid attention to.

    I may later play around with a couple of searches of the database to see how well this method works, but I think it would improve things significantly.
