Oh he poked plenty of stingrays before one got him. Purely coincidental that it was a stingray that got him - I'm sure everyone (even the people that liked him) would have preferred him to have been eaten by a crocodile if they had to choose what animal killed him.
Malware authors will just enable it again. If the functionality is still there for non-writable media, then it's probably just a hidden setting away from being there for writable media too.
Sounds more like Scientology to me. These doctors criticised the drug company, and are to be neutralized or discredited. "Destroyed" would be a good word. Would you say the drug company considers them "Fair Game"? *wink wink*
The quality of science in Gundam has been a staple of the franchise for quite a while too:P. Some people balk at the idea of giant robots, but try and extrapolate the evolution of military armour for a moment. Right now we have slow tanks on treads. Good for rough terrain, bad if it gets too rough. Replace the tracks with four or six legs, and then it becomes a game of maneuverability, not firepower. People will start making anti-tank tanks to take out the new legged ones. Another cool thing about mobile suits (the mecha in the Gundam franchise, for those who don't know) is they pretty much all have hands. This means equipment is VERY interchangeable. Instead of dismantling something to put a higher caliber barrel on it, the mobile suit just needs to pick up a different gun. Eventually, this arms race has to result in something vaguely humanoid - maybe four legs at the least, since two legs are hard to balance.
Giant robots may not make everything work better, afterall it's just as easy to kill someone with a tank shell as it is with a big laser. Giant robots are, however, the best way to fight giant robots.
Nope, I mean mormons. I suppose not all of their beliefs were strictly mormon. It could possibly have just been a personal belief that television is evil. They had nothing against microwaves, kettles and air conditioners.
Your constitution promises freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. You can join the most Satan-loving-porn-watching-baby-eating-drunken-rampaging religion you want, and you'll be fine. Minute you say that religion has no place in an argument, you can kiss your credibility goodbye in the USA.
I wasn't aware there was a difference. By the way, what are Mormons doing working for Microsoft? I've only known one family of Mormons before, and they all thought television was a tool of Satan, and wouldn't eat any food that came packaged in plastic, or processed in a deli! (wtf DID they eat?!) I'd at least think Mormons would have the same opinion of computers as they do of television. I mean, just show them/b/, then they can't NOT call computers tools of Satan:P
Seconded. k9copy is the best DVDShrink replacement there is, no contest. You can rip to video files, or to a whole compressed disc image, or a VIDEO_TS folder, and then just burn to a disc the way you'd burn anything.
Two wrongs don't make a right, but it does create a warm fuzzy feeling to know someone who wrongs others gets a little of it back. I don't approve of software patents, don't get me wrong, but it is kind of funny that Microsoft spent all that time rumbling about patent infringement and then get slapped with a massive patent infringement bill.
For some reason, I just had a mental image of Marie Antoinette being drowned in a vat of cake-mix...
Serves the bastards right for saber-rattling about people infringing on their patents, and dabbling in the world of patent trolling. Troll gets trolled, now THAT'S a headline.
I've been meaning to get into D&D for a while now, but I'll be damned if I'm going to go and blow the equivalent of my university textbook budget on rule books just to decide I don't like it. I'd much rather pirate it, play a few games, and then decide if I want to buy the materials. And I would buy them too, the tactile feel of paper in a bound book is so much better, to me, than a PDF on a screen. That's 90% of the reason I don't like reading ebooks on my computer (the other 10% is that I usually read to get away from the drone and glow of my computer).
Evacuate South Korea first! We have plenty of desert here in Australia for shanty towns, and I'm sure the indigenous folk won't mind taking another one for the team!
Jury's still out on that one. I'll wait about a year or two before I decide if he's done anything good or bad. On the one hand you have the crowd expecting him to wave his magic wand and make everything as happy as a 1950s propaganda ad, and on the other you have those who criticize him for NOT waving his magic wand. I want all of that crap to die down before I judge Obama either way - I'm not American, had no obligation to vote, so I can sit back with popcorn. He's America's problem, since I can't do anything about him.
Right. If I need a nuclear reactor managed, I'll call you. Good to know the old talent of understanding exactly what the state of a nuclear reactor is by looking at a rock isn't lost. I'm just going to go and plug myself into my other computer now and manipulate it with my mind. Screens and command lines are for pussies, I can feel what it's doing well enough.
Or maybe it's a case of calling over some wolves while you sneak a few sheep away for yourself. Now I'm not one to judge what you do your sheep...
For the docile (or in case my metaphor is a lot less clear than I think it is... That happens to me a lot...) I mean the police might already be working smarter, and they throw us a red herring of blatant power abuse so we don't think they're working smarter.
Of course, it is all a load of speculative crap. I don't really think your average cop is smart enough for this.

I never trusted that Stenographer Fred from Science Court... At least I think his name was Fred... Maybe Ted?
Am I the only one in who's mind "Patient Zero" is irrevocably bound to Sylar from Heroes?

Im on ur drive... eatin ur sectorz! om nom nom.
For-profit news organizations are reaping huge advertising windfalls off of human tragedy, calamity and bloodshed.
Mod parent up. I was going to say the same thing, no sense repeating it but DAMN I wish I had some mod points.

I can't wait to start triforcing on my comments! GAH! 4chan has broken my brain... :'(
I think "last week" is a little generous. They obviously lost it a long time ago.

I wonder if we could get moo- dammit 4chan! I mean I wonder if we could get CommanderTaco to do that for us :P
The earth is getting pretty old, even if you believe the Christians (what do they think, 6000 years?). I'd say it needs some lumbar support by now.

What he needs is a bunch of undergrads or interns to painstakingly transcribe and proofread every scrap and napkin of text!

Nooo! There are no engineering jobs anywhere else! This is the only place you could work!
