Uhhhh, yeh. I like already had myself to all that Mac Mini pr0n, smoked a cig, cleaned up, asked my computer if things were gonna get all wierd now and moved on to the next thing say, two days ago?

Outrageous. Damn Apple.

A Slashdot editor posts without spelling errors? C'mon, that proves it's a hack.
I was going to buy one, but then I found out they didn't include a 20ma current loop. WTF? How do they expect me to connect my Teletype?!?

Neo: Might have been, I'm not sure.
Morpheus: Switch, Apoc.
Neo: What is it?

Then we wouldn't be overpaying for Apple products, now would we? What kind of Apple zealot are you anyways?!?
Fine then, I'll see your point and raise you the fact that we just changed it back. Get over it.

Well the only way to avoid duplicate stories would be to have some sort of way to, via some sort of computer automation, examine old stories and see if they had certain key words in common, some sort of "search engine" to coin a phrase. Obviously that would be impossible at our current level of technology, but one can hope for the future.
Have you heard the rumors about the iPhoto that can display photos?
My Psion Organiser II had "Cray Supercomputer" written on it in red crayon...

The thing is... Hardware, we must buy. Software, we can pirate.
I was working on one of our lab machines... had an exposed serial connector hanging out. I was wearing a sweater (I know, I know... I should have been wearing a ground strap too.)
Zapped the serial connector with a static shock, swore like a motherfucker... and only then noticed that the machine had rebooted when it got zapped. Not a normal reboot. A "fuck you for zapping me, I'm going to cycle power and drop your unsaved work you punk motherfucker" reboot.
Took me a few minutes to stop laughing.
