Gaim Forks To Get Voice And Video Support
RAMMS+EIN writes "Everyone's favorite instant messenger, Gaim, has recently been forked. The new gaim-vv project aims to provide voice and video chat support, which will eventually be backported into the main branch." Nice to see an amicable fork; it sounds like this will mean competition for GnomeMeeting.
GNAA Ported to XBOX
By GNAA staff
New York, NY - GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) this afternoon announced completion of a project started almost 6 months ago,
porting of Windows CE.NET environment to Microsoft's XBOX gaming platform.
In a shocking announcement this afternoon, GNAA representative lysol demonstrated the XBOX running Microsoft's own Windows CE.NET 4.2 operating system.
"This is quite an important achievement," lysol began. "By porting Windows CE to XBOX, GNAA will be able to create a beowulf cluster of all XBOXes and use them
to recruit more gay niggers. Next step will naturally be porting our GNAAOS framework to the new system, which will allow us to highly increase our gay
nigger membership.
Unlike the Microsoft's custom OS, based on Windows 2000 kernel currently running on the XBOX, with a custom (and somewhat limited API), Windows CE.NET
will allow running a whole range of Win32 applications on the XBOX by simply recompiling them. Because the differences between Windows CE.NET Win32 API are minimal,
any type of gay nigger software can be easily ported to run on the new platform. GNAA is expecting to begin work on porting GNAAOS framework "real soon now",
according to GNAA representative goat-see.

If you can store potential energy in a spring (nano-springs?) Why not make use of this concept in modern cars much as hybrid cars do. Use braking to "wind-up" the spring, then energy from which can be used to give a good boost to acceleration.
Of course, the question is how much energy can we store in a spring and is it practical? Perhaps some research is required.
Thoughts?

Great, so now my roommate, who plays EverQuest 20 hours a day (with other 4 being videoIMing with his girlfriend) has an alternative to AIM. He's such a prime candidate, having been such a diverse user of his computer.
Really, Linux? He scoffs. OpenSource software? No. OpenOffice? He shelled out the $150 for M$ Office.
Most of us who are concerned with OSS, digital rights, and other miscellaneous "Slashdot-esque" stuff are perfectly happy with text. How many of you are using Lynx to read this comment?
I seriously started shaking when I read that wrong in my sleepy stupor. I thought it mentioned GAIN starting up in the voice market... calling me with their LOVELY OFFERS. I really need to go to sleep now.
Man successfully dismembers his own member
Cherry Hill Times
November 18, 1997
CLAYTON, NJ. Early Tuesday morning New Jersey State Police were astonished to come across a man on the side of the road without any clothing on bleeding from his groin. The 26 year old man was staggering about, holding his hand over his crotch, worried, saying "can somebody please help me?" Police soon discovered that the man's penis had been torn away from him, leaving a bloody stump. Investigating the situation while summoning paramedics, Sheriff William Brown claimed "This is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in my career as a police officer, I really don't know what to make of it. The man's penis was gone." As the paramedics arrived the sheriff's deputy had located the detached member about 30 feet away lying in the ditch near the man's clothes. Paramedics had rushed him to St. Francis Medical Center 10 miles north where the ER staff was able to successfully reattach the mans penis." Medical examiner Soren Matthews, doing bloodwork had noticed abnormally high amounts of dextromethorphan in his bloodstream. "Dextromethorphan is a common additive in cough syrup, at recommended doses it can suppress the instinct and urge to cough during colds and flu.", Matthews stated. "At extreme levels, it becomes a dissociative anesthetic, similar to PCP and Ketamine, which can cause hallucinations, euphoria, a sense of detachment from reality."
Several hours later, police were able to speak with the victim and find out what exactly happened. They discovered he had drank three 4oz bottles of Vicks 44 Cough Relief Maximum Strength several hours prior to being discovered. He had gone out for what he liked to call a "wonderwalk" and suddenly got the urge to masturbate. Not realizing that he couldn't feel himself, tried for several minutes and noticed a shock wave resounding throughout his body. He then realized that he was holding his detached penis in his right hand. He was very fortunate that the police found him when they did.
Matthews went on further to state "People need to be aware of what they are doing to themselves. Common over-the-counter medicines have specific dosages there for a reason and when you abuse that tragedies like this happen. Parents everywhere need to look for the signs that their children are 'robotripping'." According to St. Francis Medical Center, this was the 3rd dextromethorphan related incident that they had seen this year. The other two incidents were and both involved teenagers at party situations taking Coricidin, another brand of OTC cough tablets. Both of these incidents were unrelated to each other.
Lets hope that Spyware companies don't get the idea that voice and video are spectacularly good ideas for their products. Oops, too late.
