You can mod this offtopic, but those 1983 game designers had a real sense of humor and subtly implemented it in 64KB.
Luxury... I don't think Infocom games made it to the cassette-based 16k TRS-80 platform, but we still had classic adventure games like the Scott Adams series (e.g. "The Count"), and maze adventures (e.g. Asylum.) They don't make them like they used to.:-/
And I guess the executives who agreed on the name dreamliner are starting to regret their decision...
They probably regret calling the company "Boeing", too. I recall a comedian making fun of it once (but not their name): "Sounds like something just fell off the airplane: 'Boeing!'"
This is a VERY SERIOUS problem for the entire world. There are apparently no people available who have both technical understanding and social sophistication.
3.) Vladimir Harkonnen as the evil bastard he truly was, without the flying crap. Those suspensors were attached to him so that he could move around under his flab.
"He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious." (The Piranha Brothers sketch.)
Air Force Cyber Command (AFCYBER), a US military unit set up in September 2007 to fight in cyberspace, is due to become fully operational in the autumn under the aegis of the US Eighth Air Force.
The worse sound card I ever had was an Audigy 2 ZX.
I have one; no problems at all under Linux and Windows XP.
I can't say the same for the Asus SupremeFX daughterboard (ADI1988(B?)) that came with my motherboard. Noisy as hell, surround sound rarely worked with games, drivers crashed the computer repeatedly. Absolutely useless.
According to an ABC News story I heard this morning, there's a simpler explanation for the bluestone chips:
"In the early 1900s there were signs in Amesbury (the nearest town to the site) offering the hire of a hammer so that people could come up here to chip off their own bit of bluestone," Darvill [archaeology professor at Bournemouth University] said.
The lameness filter abhors punch cards: use more characters, use less junk characters, don't shout, that's an awful long string of characters there (be a shame if anything happened to it) etc. I give up!
He added: "For innovation to continue, there needs to be value - and even open-source applications have some form of market model, which incentivises them to continue innovating."
The Open Source model doesn't need "incentivising" - it's perfectly cromulent as it is.

Douglas Adams said it best: "The spaceships hung in the air in exactly the same way that bricks don't."

Obligatory Isaac Asimov quote:
How bright is a million times brighter than black?
Since it's a million times brighter in X-rays, not much as far as your eye is concerned.

Let me guess, he was missing the middle and ring fingers? No wonder the Supreme Metal Council are concerned.

Maybe he was out of chairs?

Evil, fat bastard...

One air force should be enough for any country.
... from an iCup "computer" to a Talkie Toaster.
Unless the iCup can read the tea leaves and predict your future, this must be the worst UI paradigm ever.
But it is still amazing to see Microsoft to be (seemingly) actually encouraging theft of their product. What will they think of next?
Fixing it in SP2 once enough people have taken the bait?
Ah! The tobacconist flaps its wings twice.

This is Slashdot; April Fool's Day submissions will probably starting appearing around 3 April.
As for swinging committee chairs to your side, here's a pretty good explanation of that process.
Here's a better explanation of the process. "I suggest a new strategy, ISO: let the monkey boy win."
Putting one in the Whitehouse certainly didn't simplify things.
It was that, or putting one in charge of a large, monopolistic software company. Oh, wait...
Let me guess, they're "cloud seeding" in Tibet?
Another one: this time in India.
