Drag queens?
what have you got against Monty Python?
looks to me like a pretty big troll.
Have you come here for an argument?
Abuser: WHAT DO YOU WANT? Man: Well, I was told outside that... Abuser: Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings! Man: What? Abuser: Shut your festering gob, you tit! Your type really makes me puke, you vacuous, coffee-nosed, maloderous, pervert!!! Man: Look, I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, I'm not going to just stand...!! Abuser: OH, oh I'm sorry, but this is abuse. Man: Oh, I see, well, that explains it. Abuser: Ah yes, you want room 12A, Just along the corridor. Man: Oh, Thank you very much. Sorry. Abuser: Not at all. Man: Thank You. Abuser: (Under his breath) Stupid git!!

Even so, if we ever need a name for a new month, I nominate "Hexidecember". It has a nice ring to it, and my trademark registration has already been filed.
Unfortunately, a paralegal at SCO has just discovered that they own the copyrights to "Hexidecember.";-)

From the article:
I am conscious to me that it is a rather moved idea to build itself its own CCU but perhaps give it of people, which I can animate by this Website to something something similar or which even my CCU to copy to want. I will make everything available on this side gradually, which is needed for the reproduction of the CCU.
Say that 3 times fast. Go ahead, I dare ya.
The site is short on (understandable) details, but the thing apparently runs at a blistering 5Mhz which happens to be 5Mhz faster than anything I could ever build. Impressive, but I don't think AMD and Intel should be worried just yet. Via... maybe.
Technology moves ahead.

Holy 1970 Batman! The fiend has built his own computer! What nefarious plans he must have?
I don't see why it's not worth the trouble; I'd love to figure out how to build my own CPU and actually know something useful instead of how to seat all the magic bits on a board and then smack the power button to see if it comes up, like most "hardware hackers" these days. Oh, I forgot, you cut a window and put a blinky light inside your case.
Oh, right, I'm one of about a dozen Americans who actually speaks another language fluently. My bad.
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual.
What do you call someone who speaks only one language? An American, damnit.
Besides, we all know from Star Trek that when we meet the aliens, that's what they'll all be speaking anyway.

I'm personally waiting for the Babelfish or those nifty bacteria from Farscape.
That is of course assuming that aliens speak at all. Imagine if aliens communicated through pigment changes in the skin, or interpretive dance. I can see the aliens now performing, what looks like to us a Marcel Marceau routine, but actually is saying "Take me to your leader."

If this guy ever goes camping, which is doubtful given his penchant for the computer life; I would like to go along.
I Imagine that before the s'mores are grilled (graham crackers, hershey bars & marshmallows) he will have a king sized bed made out of duck down, a T.V. made out of acorns, and an air conditioner made out of discarded spam cans.
All I need is some soothing music, some candles, a woman, nine months, and I can build my own awesome "computer" that runs on a neural network, billions of neurons running simultaneously.
Unfortunately this is Slashdot, so I have all the time in the world, but no woman...

Yeah, a computer that throws errors (and other blunt objects) constantly, coredumps at least once a day and has 33.3% downtime?

Heh. Back in high school we all had TI-83's. You can do a lot with 28k and BASIC given...
You think you had it bad with a TI-83? We would 'ave dreamed of having a TI-83! Our school had just one computer with only one bit of memory, and the only operation it could perform was XOR. We had to pass it around the class and hope that no one set the bit before it got to us!
We had to carve the stone input decks with our bare hands, then to reboot we'd have to stick the computer into a 240Volt socket and close the connection with our bare tongues!
But you tell that to kids these days, and they won't believe you.
