You're absolutely right. It works the other way around too. If I saw a really hot female alien I'd want to probe her every hole too. And sci-fi is full of really hot alien chicks!
If we get something like Spielberg's ET though, that's a different story. There's no hole there worth probing.
But hey, his flat head and small height would probably make him perfect to hold the TV remote.
No probing required.
"Good old Glasgow. If I had to pick a city in the world where I could depend on one of the locals to kick a man who was on fire, it would always be Glasgow. That really had to hurt - 90% burns and sore bollocks." That guy was obviously just trying to put off the flames.
From the summary:
It turned out people wanted inexpensive, hard-working Linux laptops rather than overpriced, underpowered Vista PCs. Yep, that's weird. No wonder Microsoft didn't see it coming...
"There are enough loopholes in the general theory of relativity to allow antimatter to fall up rather than down in a gravitational field." But then there's places like Soviet Russia where the opposite of up or down will probably be the norm, so there's really no easy way to answer that one...
Considering the crack open comment I think the company should use their own K-Y product instead of the "Tylenol and Band-Aids" suggested in the summary...
From the summary:
Forrester is predicting that Apple will become the 'hub of the digital home by 2013'. Well, at least that bit confirms the 'taking crack' part of the summary...
I'm guessing it was a poll... done online... probably with one of those buttons that runs away from the mouse for the 'censorship sucks' option.
Still, 15% were able to click it.
So given that (I assume) all audio CAPTCHAs have the same problem (i.e., the numbers and clearer voices can easily be found using audio analysis), does that mean that all audio-based CAPTCHAs are bound to fail? I think adding soft background music would do the trick. For instance if you used Britney Spears the bot would probably be stuck trying 'hell', 'crap', shit', 'help', 'stop' and so on, over and over, regardless to what was being said...
And a couple more 4 letters words certainly do pop to mind...
Bill Gates has been testifying for years (...) it's hardly as if anyone is acting under his control... Yeah, but man, he's soooo cool!
Ops! Wrong forum...
If they wanted privacy they should've STFU! No one would've known their house was there, quite simply because no one would've cared about that. By making a scene they now have billions of nosy slashdotters checking it out.
Nah, they sell it in packs of two, hence the $600 figure. It comes with the regular version and special censored version for when your mother-in-law is around.

Poor judgement on NASA's side. We all know aliens have a huge probe fetish and we send a vibrator there! Smart move...
Oh, and now all I get is "Due to overwhelming interest, our Cuil servers are running a bit hot right now"
Suddenly the whole thing doesn't seem cool enough.
Yep, tragic. But some good can still come from it if, for instance, from now on authorities start shooting spammers on sight, just in case...

Last time I ventured into second life I searched for 'Beach' and was treated to a picture of a girl fingering herself.
Well, I've never used second life, but I've been to that beach!
My mind struggles to convince my ass to move... Usually the ass wins!
That's fiction man, just like the other one that came out in 1969.

Just imagine what would happen if someone actually read TFA around here...
Are you sure there's a PC version of that one? I hear it's great but I'm having trouble finding it...
Sounds more like a fucking problem than a funding problem...
