Had sex once. Got bored halfway through. Went back to my Linux box. Much more interesting than trying to find nontrivial words in a language with only two words, In and Out, and one form of punctuation.
Oh come on now! That's enough for binary; you should be able to say anything!
1) No man looks good in spandex. Maybe gay men think so, but I'm not a gay man and I really don't want to see this shit. If the cyclist is not a gay man, perhaps they don't want this kind of attention.
I shall assume that you are male. Let me tell you that my last couple of girlfriends would strongly disagree with your opinion, and I'm much more interested in their opinion than yours...:)
That's a good idea, so long as you don't burn the string. I had my own method for speeding up the mouse, but I figured it would be silly to make the conduit big enough to send a cat through.
Mouse, string, mouse, string; which do I want to play with now? I know, I'll take a nap!
Really? Reference please. I'll admit I haven't read the C language standard in years, but the only guarantee I recall is that sizeof short = sizeof int = sizeof long. From the wikipedia entry (hardly authoritative, but I'm too lazy to search for anything better): "It is perfectly valid, for example, that all four types be 64 bits long."
I want an Ironic modifier! Your sig ("It's always a long day... 86400 doesn't fit into a short.") might not be true on one of those same unusual architectures!
"...a 'brick' is typically a rectangular piece of clay or similar material hardened in a furnace and used to construct buildings and other structures, and usually has no functionality beyond this"
Close. Don't forget that a half brick in a sock makes a very effective weapon to use against, oh, let's say Slashdot editors who don't know the meaning of "brick".
In that respect, a truly "bricked" laptop is probably even less useful than a real brick. Too big to fit in most socks...
Hear, hear! I suggest that the charge be that of treason; tampering with an election undermines the whole principle of a democratic system, does it not? I'm interpreting treason here as an act contrary to the principles embodied in the constitution, rather than an act that the current government might not like.
Personally, I'd love to see a filesystem where I'm not constrained to a heirarchy, something where I can view my files any way I want. And that is fully usable under *NIX, MacOS, Windows, whatever. I'm tired of not being able to have decent write access to volumes on dual boot systems (yes, I know about CaptiveNTFS; I'd rather use reiserfs anyway).
For those who don't want to go playing in the registry, Tweak UI can fix this easily. Click on the Add/Remove tab, select the old Firefox entries from the list, and click Remove.
For some reason I'm only seeing the problem on Win9x, not on XP.
From the article, "The flaw is possible because Internet Explorer has difficulty processing improperly formed HTML". If browsers had been pickier from the start, and refused to try to render improper HTML, perhaps we wouldn't see this sort of bug so often. Of course, now everyone expects to be able to view sites no matter how bad the code, so a 'correct' browser wouldn't be popular. Maybe browsers should start flagging improper HTML as a security risk; might actually get some people's attention.
The only widely recognized right you have when you buy a product is the right for it to work as specified
Unfortunately, that's one right that doesn't seem to be recognized with respect to software. Almost all EULAs have a clause stating something to the effect of "We don't warrant this software to be any good for anything at all. Not even if you just want to use the box as a paperweight or the CD as a drink coaster. Nothing. Nada. All your cash are belong to us."
One day maybe this will change (it eventually happened to the automobile industry), and we'll start to see the end of crappy software
If you want the simplist[sic] license, that is "this software is in the public domain".
That's not a license. A license is only required for works covered by copyright, and placing software in the public domain means that one is relinquishing copyright on it, therefore no license is needed.

"Qu'on me donne six lignes écrites de la main du plus honnête homme, j'y trouverai de quoi le faire pendre",
for which one possible translation is:
"If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged."

Um, a tomato is a fruit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato
But I don't want my code to explode!
That or the RIAA is shelling out tons of money. You forgot...Money buys people in America.
In Soviet Russia, money buys you!
Oh, wait....

Does anyone make a folding lcd panel? I rather thought the point of the DS was that you could fold it up for better portability.

Have you tried right-clicking on the tabs in Firefox? The context menu isn't a button, but it does everything you're asking for.
Hard links are already supported in NTFS. There's just no UI for them. See http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/W indows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resour ces/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prkc _fil_baey.asp.

JVC Arsenal KD-AR960, KD-AR5500, KD-AR7500 all claim to support SD cards.

The Fremont bridge in Portland is not a suspension bridge, but rather "the longest tied-arch bridge in the world"
That should be:
"...In modern Engli'sh 'spelling, an apo'strophe i's u'sed to warn the reader that an "'s" is coming."
Don't you feel 'safer now? I hate being 'surpri'sed by the letter between "r" and "t".
You sign a contract to pay extra based on the output of a random number generator attached to your rental car, then you have to pay
That sounds like gambling, which is illegal in most jurisdictions, and therefore the contract would not be enforceable.

Eric Idle also provided voices for the CDROM Discworld game. I'm surprised you didn't mention that, twoflower.
Given the usual pace of the court system, I doubt that you'd make money fast :)
Ah, I see. "The truth is on the horizon". But not "The truth is here", I note. Explains a lot :)
