Instead of a rifle, we can use PDAs/Smartphones and use their built-in cameras to sight up some people. We can also let two or more PDAs communicate via Bluetooth/WiFi/whatever to let people virtually kill each other.
Encourage your kids to ask questions and then help them find the answer. Don't just look the damn thing up, teach them how to create a test that will either answer the question or lead them to more questions. Science is beautiful...
When I was ~8 years old, I was curious about the nature of electricity. I was wondering why my parents would panic every time I go near an electric socket. They told me it was "dangerous".
I was unsatisfied with simply being told to stay away from the electric socket so I created my own experiment to answer the question, "what will happen if I touch a live wire?"
You know, that really led me to more questions such as, "why the fuck did I do that?". Science is really beautiful!
Psychologically speaking, the very act of going to prison(even if its minimum security)can be highly damaging. There is no telling what caused this guy to snap but its likely that he didn't sit there and stew about it and decide to do it on his own.
To be pounded in the ass in prison can be very psychologically damaging.
I have my own crack theory.:) In the I.T. field, men greatly outnumber women. The women that decide to work on I.T. are usually intuitive thinkers that don't easily get pressured into accepting the gender roles assigned to them by society (i.e., programming is a man's job).
In general, sensate thinkers (ST) greatly outnumber intuitive thinkers (NT). When someone thinks of "male programmers", they are actually thinking of "male ST programmers" that like to show how clever they are by writing cryptic code.
The NT programmers that I've worked with try to show off by explaining the concepts behind the code through comments and diagrams, which is often a good thing.
I don't think that the timing of this lawsuit is purely coincidental because the fact that this generates black-holes and disrupts the fabric of space-time contradicts the agenda of some shadow governments.
It has already been shown that colliding particles at high speeds opens a portal to Xen, thereby angering Microsoft.
Cellular modems are typically very slow unless you buy the high speed broadband type. And that's $50.00 a month for limited use. Here in the Philippines, one carrier charges P10/30min (aprox $0.24509/30min) for 3G connection, and they still manage to make a killing in profits. Amazing things happen with stiff competition. With the looks of it, one may come to a conclusion that wi-fi would become irrelevant once carriers start offering cheap unlimited 3G plans. Already, all major carriers here offer unlimited text and calls and not one of them is going bankrupt.
However, I don't think wi-fi will become obsolete just because of this. I foresee that hotspots will innovate their wi-fi service and add useful applications such as the ff:
- Web portal (free legal MP3s, movies)
- Social apps ("coffee_babe is sitting at table 8. wanna msg her right now?")

People who are good at business get paid.
People who are good at programming get screwed? Yes, people who are good at programming get laid. Fair enough.
Amerikanos. You have all been konditioned and spoiled by your evil motherland that you expect luxuries and all manner of evil earthly things be served to you with the utmost quality.
You Amerikanos komplain and komplain that 99.998% uptime is not enough and you throw away precious M&Ms because they are misshapen? Here in Soviet Russia, we eat M&Ms no matter what their shapes are because they are food. And you Amerikanos expect that M&Ms will eat you?
So as a society, we will at some point have to face the realization that we cannot provide the highest quality healthcare to every member of our society, no matter how hard we try. I wish I had the solution to this problem, but I do not.... But that's not a world of today, nor do I envision such a world in the near future. Well, I envision a future where replicator technology is a reality.
The power outage -- ie, some serious switch failures -- triggered the reactor shutdown. Nuclear reactors are great at supplying base load power but if all of a sudden the grid goes offline, they have nowhere to send that power and have to shut themselves down. (Power reactors don't do well with highly dynamic loads.)
It was not, as some posters seem to have misread even the summary, that the reactors went down first and caused the outage. Mind, once the reactors are down it takes longer to bring the whole grid back up, so in that sense it's contributory. Lucky Amerikanos, living everything in excess. And here we are in Pakistan, not knowing where to get power from.

Enough B.J. Blazkowicz, let's talk about his grandson: Billy Blaze, best known as Commander Keen. How about a modern reimagining of the old games?
Does he have a daughter?

I'm sorry you're an introvert.
Introversion grants us insight into one's self.

FreeBSD - pfSense! Yey!
I really don't know why I read it from beginning to end...
If this story is actually true, then they could use this technology for generating spam e-mails and web pages.
I hope I can run PHP...

This is a conspiracy!
For a minute, I thought I read "Battlestar Columbia Holds Wake for Historic Cylon".
I notice that your username is "salesgeek."
I want Tux to have a sexy female voice, like my MacBook's Vicki. Isn't it nice to have a computer that will talk to you?

I looked at the pics in the article, and I saw that they were giving us a four-letter subliminal message.

Xorg + fluxbox + mrvxt or xterm?
I find a mix of Linux communists and Unix hippies.
