In what is being described as "a good idea whose time has come" (by me), this bill will require all American citizens to buy Internet Insurance from me. Failure to buy this insurance from me will simply cause the IRS to penalize you $750 on your taxes and give the money to me. In a press release, a spokesperson for me said "Internet security and freedom from terroristic thoughts is a basic human right that will be protected by the implementation of this bill. Anyone who opposes this bill is a right-wing kookwad who should be first ridiculed on The Daily Show and then killed."
Keep in mind, though, that this bill, in its present form, is just the beginning. Other basic human rights will be covered in later additions to this plan that will require all American citizens to buy more things from me. I will build a Great Society where the trains run on time whether you like it or not.
Interesting. I was in a hammock with a Chinese national and a banana and she said she loves China because everyone there uses Gnome instead of KDE. I said that freedom was everything which is why I use a Mac and an iPhone. She called me a stupid Europig and left. You just can't reason with those people. They're all brainwashed.
There seemed to lurk in IE6's bearing some cryptic, sardonic arrogance, as if he had come to find all human beings dull though having moved among stranger and more potent entities. He was, of course, virtually an outcast, suspected of vague horrors and daemoniac alliances which seemed all the more menacing because they could not be named, understood, or even proved to exist.
I met him once when I was younger and he shewed me a mangled frame containing the incomprehensible word "YOGSOTHOTHE" and promised me that we would meet again one day. So it is with mixed feelings that I hear of the death of IE6, for I well remember that strange couplet from the blasphemous book by The Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred that he spake to me as a goodbye: "That is not dead which can eternal lie"
I, for one, have been waiting YEARS for the technology to evolve to the point where we would no longer need movie actors.
Imagine. No more yammering George Clooney. Just an CGI George Clooney! And no one will be able to tell the difference!! Plus we can take all those plastic Hollywood big-boob bimbos and get them out of movies and into the wrestling ring where they belong. Happy days. Happy days.
If I have 5000$ in the bank, I certainly hope that my 'value' is at least 10000$, whatever than means,
Let me take a semi-serious stab at this for ya. If you have $5000 "in the bank" that means that you're getting a return of, at *most*, 3% per year. Someone who can do math might look at that and say "Hell, Paychex freakin common yields over 4%, I can do a lot better with that money than this fool" and offer to buy you out to get his hands on the caysh.
Ok, ok, I admit, it's not going to happen to you or me (and if someone did offer to buy me it probably wouldn't be Veronika Zemanova, it'd be Betty White's grandfather) but there are very, very large companies that are sitting on gobswallops of cash earning, essentially, zip. Some of them earn zip on all that cash while their core businesses print money. Apple and Microsoft come immediately to mind.
Whether that business is sitting on non-performing cash out of deep-seated paranoia and inferiority complexes (Jobs) or just out of gross stupidity and lack of business sense (Ballmer), sooner or later someone who can do math is going to run the numbers and want access to that dragon's hoard of money that's sitting around and, presto, a buyout offer will appear.
Novell is just the current one. Not the first. Not the last.
but what if some 'universal' threshold is passed, and the universe 'freezes'? The 'frozen' universe would be physically consistent as well, but in a completely different way
This, BTW, is how physicists describe what happened after The Big Bang when the One Universal Physical Force began to split into strong, weak, electromagnetic & gravitational. Fudd's second law of opposition, I belive.
If you're interested in a dramatization of invading deadly ocean-crossing locust swarms, and I know you are, I would like to point out that my made-for-SyFy movie "Death Cloud Of Destruction" starring Corin Nemec, Randy Quaid and Random Bimbo will be aired on SyFy this spring. This blockbuster drama will explore the human drama of ordinary people caught in...
Ok, be fair, it's all about CGI locusts destroying CGI office buildings while people run around screaming and has lots of kewel explosions and flamethrowers and we whipped the whole thing out for $12,000 cos the actors only have 5 lines each and only had to stand in front of a green-screen for 15 minutes.
Well *I* am not only a noted expert on complexity but a specialist in improbability and a noted chaos activist (having a doctorate in activism) and *I* say that IT errors cost TEN QUINZILLION DOLLARS so pay attention to me me me.
Uh. Dood. According to the CDC, there was no report of any kind received from the Virgin Islands. That's right, silence! Now what do you suppose *that* means, eh? That's right, EVERYONE in the Virgin Islands has already died from the flu and probably turned into hideous flesh-eating monstrosities!
Do NOT go there.
It would be bad.
Your sad devotion to those ancient electrical plugs hasn't given you clairvoyance enough to stop the Nazis from bombing your cities or helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes.
Hokey fuses and ancient plug designs are no match for a good American socket in your wall, kid.
If this is a news site for nerds, then why is this a flamewar about A/C plugs? Commander! Tear this site apart until you've found some nerds. And bring me the women, I want them alive!
...when I had the opportunity to travel back in time. I gleefully grabbed the once in a lifetime chance and travelled back to 1970. Once in 1970 I participated in a question and answer session with the great minds of the time.
"Have you abolished war?", "Have you cured cancer?", "Do you have flying cars?", I was asked.
"No, no and no.", I replied, "but we have pigs that glow under UV light, remote-control cyborg African beetles, bras that double as gas masks and iPhones. Oh, and we know why pregnant women don't fall over!"
I thought they took the news rather well. Considering.
In order to further international understanding and harmony let me explain the differences between 'futbol' and 'football'.
Futbol is sport in which tiny little guys dressed in their underwear run around a field the size of the state of Connecticut kicking a balloon. Nothing EVER happens on a futbol field so the fans take it upon themselves to entertain each other by beating the crap out of each other in the stands. And in the streets. And airports. And bars. And, I assume, in their neighborhoods.
Football is a sport in which huge, hulking steroid-engorged freaks of nature mostly stand around waiting for the TV commercial break to end wearing body armor adapted from the game "Unreal Tournament" and then kicking the crap out of each other for some reason.
Futbol holds the award for being the first participatory spectator sport and football holds the award for being the first sport to feature mostly-naked women bouncing around for your edification.

Sure, at 7 TeV they just got muons. No big deal. Once they get to full power and hit 14 TeV they'll get LOTS MORE muons!! That'll be HUGE! Really!
(mutters)Goddamn kids woke me up for fucking muons.

Yes, Opportunity has found a bird! The probe has struck crumpet - and she looks pretty good too!
Do you think we're going to see underwear become even naughtier?
Hey. Has anyone noticed that building there before?
Get to the choppah! Naow!!

A million DOLLARS?? For this old thing?? Hell, he could have had this copy for half that. Tard.
Especially if the iris works

Well, one big difference between music and movies is that I still occasionally hear new music I like.
When was the last time a new movie came out that I was even mildly interested in seeing? Donnie Darko? How long ago was that??
Hey! That's my lawn! Get off!! Pesky kids.
The Japanese are sending worms to Kibo in space? How long has Kibo been in space? When did that happen? And what the hell does he want with worms??
I swear, you miss one day around here - ONE DAY - and you're completely lost.
Today we're talking about what's wrong with Powerpoint.
o And Why It Should Be Banned
And why its use should be banned.
o Speakers just put up bullet list and then read from it.
The biggest problem is that speakers put up a Powerpoint bullet list and then just read from it.
o Like their audience is illiterate or sumpin.
Like they think their audience is a bunch of illiterates or sumpin.
o Powerpoint presenters also say things like "actionizing our solutioning".
Also, Powerpoint seems to encourage speakers to say things like "actionizing our solutioning".

Let's move to slide 2.
there's no report of flu in the Virgin Islands
Uh. Dood. According to the CDC, there was no report of any kind received from the Virgin Islands. That's right, silence! Now what do you suppose *that* means, eh? That's right, EVERYONE in the Virgin Islands has already died from the flu and probably turned into hideous flesh-eating monstrosities!
Do NOT go there.
It would be bad.
In the end, I often end up buying non-organic food just because I end up wasting less that way.
I actually prefer non-organic food.

'When I heard they didn't have schedules, I was like, "What have they been doing all summer?"
Duh. Same thing the useless NEA drones will do all autumn and winter and spring. Jack off.
