Oh, that one was below the belt. But come to think of it now, you are partially right on the Darwinian theory... Basically all the club-trash would want to avoid me, thus resulting in me less likely of getting an STD that night. Whereas a girl that really found me attractive wouldn't be such a sociopath about who she likes or sleeps with. Thus, all the self-conscience people who watach what they say in public just so they can get a chance to pass on their genes is more likely to catch something bad and die off sooner, and people like me would eventually find someone they really like anyway.
Michael Moore would love this one ...

Fighting UCITA
·
· Score: 1
The focus of May Day is going to be anti globalisation/anti-corporate rule, with an emphasis on labor rights. UCITA ties in with this because most of these bills are meant to help out a few corporate interests despite screwing people (I refuse to call people "consumers").
Sounds like something Michael Moore would be very interested in. (For those of you who don't know who he is, he has long been against large corporations and their practices among other things - perhaps you've seen his film Roger and me.)
There is a mailing-list setup over there, gosh I don't think I could think of a better target audience to discuss something like this and help raise awareness on this serious and important issue.
Forgive me if this has been posted previously and I seem to have missed it (no flames please!).
But does anyone know of a site that just lists the parts I could buy at say Radio Shack or somewhere similiar and also has the schemata/instructions for it? (My soldering/machine assembly skills have declined since the last time I had to pull out the old Odyssey II and repair it for use).
I guess it only helps to confirm the theory that some people tend to fear new technologies rather then to embrace it. Oh well at there is always a chance for an appeal.
And hey, at least since MP3.com's stock plunged ~40% now is the time buy! One minor setback in the company doesn't mean it is going to bust. Sooner or later the stock price will soar and only the fools that didn't get in the opportunity now will be left out in the cold.
I just see those two at each end of the spectrum. I am a Christian myself. It's like the far extreme christian right or the far extreme liberal left, both do nothing but harm and raise alot of hoopla. (I myself am a democrat but have to look at Jesse Jackson as an imbicle at times).
I guess what I am trying to say is that on certain political/religous views you have to give a little and take a little and I certainly find it either silly or unproductive to be or listen to someone who is either all the way at point A or all the way at point B.
To me I see no difference between Scientologists and Satanists. They are both whacked out extremists that will do anything to make someone beleive whatever garbage they themselves have been brainwashed by.
Yeah, yeah, freedom of religion.. To me the "E-Meter" is nothing more then a Ouji Board.
This absolutely rediculous. Napster just keeps a database of anything in MP3 format. It's like sueing TCP/IP, it's just a service. What's next, someone copyrights the period mark?
I really don't care how a song was made, or how much money was made, or who listens to it, as long as I think it sounds good.
Kraftwerk started back in 1968 before the synthesizer, they invented techno and they had to generate some pretty whacked out sounds using primitive techniques. Now any eight year old can make the same sounds, but you know what? If it sounds good to me, I don't care!
Devo was excellent. I can't Mark Mothersbaugh just doing whatever for a living though. But speaking of synthesizers, I think New Order and Men Without Hats have done some of the more brilliant synths out there (Safety Dance comes to mind). David Bowie did some good experimental stuff as well.
I am who I am. Why should I care about what people think of me? I'll talk about MajorMUD in a club or bar and I really don't care what people say. I talk about Linux in public within earshot. Oh no! And you know what? I don't care if it makes *you* look bad either. Nya nya nya!
I believe for the consumer the best thing is to bust it up into smaller companies, but it's not going to happen, too much politics involved. The Ma Bell breakup back in the early 70's was a completely different story.
I would be really interested by what Ralph Nader would have to say about this alleged recomendation.
I pretty much just remeber the scene where he walks down an alley and some guys try to mug him, but through his eyes you see a monster standing there and he stabs the guy. Haha.
There was another movie that was almost the same thing: Kids get way into roleplaying and go overboard, parents freak out. Blah Blah.
I guess I would rather have my kids getting obsessed with roleplaying/muds then discovering some syringes and a dead hooker stuffed somewhere in their room.
Some people just need a printed manual hand to just "get it" better. Some people (such as myself) have a short attention span when it comes to reading stuff off of a computer screen. Some people don't have the current technology to be able to bring it in the john if they wish (and hey, if it's really that horrible of a program they can always wipe their ass with the manual).
Anyone remember the movie, `Mages and Monsters'? Tom Hanks did a pretty good job playing an obsessed roleplayer going to far with his character, grin. Kind of reminds me of some people I know.
Everquest? Diablo? I don't need to graphics to be forced upon me to role play. I like MajorMUD, it is text based and I can use something that we all have (or some of it left anyway) and it is a brain, an imagination. I also don't need to be forced to buy whatever expensive hardware some corporation tells me to just to play their game.
I have been a near life long advocate of the Who and for years have been professing the most divine wisdom of the Who and their highness as the 'greatest rock n roll band on earth'. Now I have something to say to the naysayers who reply with useless fodder as 'Who? The Who? (har har) haven't they not done anything in decades?'
All hail the ayatollah of rock'n'rollah, the one, the master, Pete Townshend!
Rock and a (not so) hard place.

Conferences come at a set date. I'm sure the Phantom Menace won't be on just one date, but in the theaters for months.
Burn me at the stake if you guys will, but I admit to seeing the trilogy *once* in the theaters as a small child, and that's it. I will probably rent them sometime here when Im bored wait to see PM in theaters when all the freaks are gone.
I hail this work as a magnificient peice of work. It is well researched and written.
This work looks as if it was not the produce of an all-nighter whim, but as if it were planned at greater lengths. Finally there now exists a reference to guide others to when they are in need of explanation to the word "hacker".
Will Slashdot not put this as a permanent link somewhere?

The concept is kind of cool, looks like it could use some work though. It was fun at first, but it lasted for all of about 3 seconds.

If anything they should have offered you a job to work with their company or have thanked you for all the free advertising you gave them.
What's a succesful product if no one knows about it (any publicity is good publicity!).
Heh.. I tried using beam-it quite a few times but I never got it to work (error 23 or 25). I have switched many different CD's but still to no avail.
I guess it's kind of hard to be infringing copyright if the software doesn't work quite that well, right?

So this explains high crime rates and the general character of people in L.A., Chicago and New York!

A fair summary of what has changed. Bid you well.
If you follow Bowie's career you will find that is
not very true. Watch the VH1 show `Legends' on David Bowie and you see.
