Demand DNA samples from the entire population or get a real fucking job. This fuckin' around isn't kidding anyone, except the people who want to be fooled, and it's annoying the hell out of anyone with a brain and basic reasoning ability.
As for the people in the States that actually believe the beloved Constitution prevents this sort of thing, remember that NatSec can supercede almost any damn thing. Yes, that includes your right to privacy.
...am I the only one who thinks that this sort of information is a little too important to "leak"? While I understand the "oh shit! we can't let this out" reaction (I do, I really do), it's freedom. And, let's not forget, this information is dated. Hell, even with this information, it'd be damn hard to put it to use.
I'd be more concerned about some jackass getting hold of a few Paladin Press books. (Even then, I'd default to freedom - of the publisher and purchaser.)
Worth the wait, or do we miss the Comedy Central version? It's worth the wait and we - I, at least - miss the CC version.
I'd love to see more programming that shows "nerds" / "geeks" / whatever you want to call us in a positive light. We've conquered the public programming sector (PBS, NPR, the cable channels with a scientific bent, etc), but we have made little success in the mainstream programming sector.
Seeing a pale skin dude (or chic!) on ESPN... workin' a bot... will be a wonderful day.
And I may actually watch ESPN! (I've got my system setup now so it automatically skips over the channel when surfing.)
To repeat what I said in the previous Wikiwhatever article (Jimmy Wales Faces Allegations of Corruption), which was modded offtopic and troll:
Welcome to the Real World, fuckers. Ha! I think I'm going to keep this comment handy, since it seems to apply every time there's a news item about Jimbo and/or Wikiwhatever.
If you look at the screen shot, the second column where gmail displays the sender says "me". This is what happens when you send an email from your gmail account to your gmail account. Yes, but the "me" will also show up if a spammer uses your email addy in the from field.
Or I'm sending myself Viagra / penis enlarger spam... from a Russian server....
Maybe I'm getting old, but this seems like a pretty clear case of "oh crap, I'm an idiot", rather than "mwuahahah, my plan for global domination proceeds apace!". Sigh. Same here. And I'm only in my mid twenties.:(
Plus I found a lot of people made the excuse that they didn't have decent hardware for 3d games. It's not an excuse. Most people can't drop a couple hundred for the LAG gfx card. Every six months.
Instead of focusing on graphics and glitter, focus on gameplay. I submit, as my only examples, Starcraft and Diablo / Diablo II. They wouldn't turn heads if they were released today, but they are good games that still continue to be played. The situation is similar to the emulation scene. (ROMs, anyone?)
The FOSS community needs to make good games, not dumb-but-pretty FPSes. That FPS crap is for consoles, arcades and Windows.
Now, if you expect Leonard the Linux User to drop $50USD every month for a new FPS.... Well, you're pissing your time away and you know it.:)
Wired Science asks: Should scientists date people who believe in astrology? Since a child's intelligence seems to be more influenced (genetically) by the mother, having a child with Dumb Sally isn't a good idea. However, bangin' Dumb Sally for the weekend - with proper protection - is perfectly acceptable.;)
To any parent of girls reading this right now: please, buy your little angel a chemistry set, model rockets, and all that other science paraphernalia. The world needs smart women.
To an extent that's true, but science is science and sooner or later the facts will win out over dogma. Tell that to the Creationists and the reporters that cover their sorry asses.
And why are people flocking to buy this decade's Betamax? Don't know about the rest of the world, but I'd like a Betamax deck (to digitize some old Beta tapes I have).
Save your HD-DVD player! Some loser, twenty years from now, may want it!
Basicaslly, the American Team was clueless until someone pointed out the obvious to them, now they want the credit. Fail. Quick! Patent it and make money!
They're beginning to make compromises. Not really. It's a standard tactic.
With this controversial section removed, It was born to die.
it's just that much closer to becoming a law, Bingo.
which is bad for everyone. Not everyone, just most.
Would this be the same Supreme Court that feels that the President shouldn't have to present evidence to detain people arbitrarily and indefinitely? Or the one that believes that blatant evidence of a defendant being tortured while in custody has no bearing on the evidence received from that defendant? Yeah, see, that's terrorism. Not some loser with a 50,000 collection of MP3s from <fill in the blank p2p protocol/app>. Believe it or not, as long as you're not a terrorist... you can usually get a far deal from the Supreme Court.
Obviously justice says they should have to turn it over, but since when was the law ruled by justice? <sarcasm>Yeah, man, AmeriKKKa is such a horrible place! Be careful, bro, otherwise BuchCo will drag you away in the middle of the night and rape your dog!/<sarcasm>

b) sexist

d) all of the above You've just described the sort of man most women spread for.
zing!

Model rockets, not makeup kits!
That didn't convince you? Okay, let's whip out the biggie:
HOPE.
See? Lord Obama has answered all of your questions! Praise Obama!
Why won't this bitch die?!
(Note: I love the idea of Java. The implementation, however, is... uh... yeah. The phrase "dead crackwhore" comes to mind.)

The DoD doesn't need Windows, we need bunkers.
I'm sure this'll be modded flamebait, but I can't think of a better way to say it:
Welcome to the Real World, fuckers. Ha!
