"Soylent Houseboat People" . . . the main foodstuff of houseboat people will be . . . other houseboat people. It's a shame that there won't be any Fava beans, though.
Fishermen? "I will teach you to be a fisher of . . . men." Wow, that old quip seems to make more sense now.
Even though something is "failed or discontinued", that doesn't mean that there are a lot of patents based on it. Open sourcing some of these would probably raise the wrath of the legal departments. So I guess a lot of companies would rather decide to just sit on the stuff, instead of opening some other can of legal worms . . .
In WWII, the US was building up a fuel store by fueling up B52s
Yes, it maintained a lot of "fuel" to keep those up standing.
and flying them across the Himalayas.
Well, I hope that they didn't break any fingernails, when the pilots tossed them out of the planes . . . Himalayas . . . um, did they have sleds along with the parachutes . . . ?
As someone growing up watching The Three Stooges back in the 70's, I can't fathom why all the school kids didn't poke each others' eyeballs out, tear each others' hair out, etc, etc, etc.
You can't canny get more violent than that.
I guess our parents told that stuff in films . . . shouldn't be carried out in street fights . . .
When I went to school, we had a dead sun, and boy it was cold.
When I was a lad, the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
It all kinda sorta went tits up after that . ..
Its a good thing I had 7 toes, it made the more advanced math easier.
I have eleven toes . . . most only go up to ten . . . but mine go up to eleven . . .
With more exclusive partnerships and more efficient organization, maybe we'll see costs come down on some of their notebooks/ssd's.
"Exclusive partnerships" always send up a monopoly warning flag for me. That usually means higher profits for producers, and higher costs for the end user.
Apple says in its suit, noting that Samsung's tablet, like Apple's, uses a similar rectangular design with rounded corners
Samsung: "Yes, but our tablet's rounded corners contain hidden razor sharp blades, which can be extended, with an app, and then you can toss it across Starbucks like a frisbee like a flying guillotine."
Copying the GUI is a valid point, but making a tablet, that looks like a tablet . . . ? When I take the train to work, everyone seems to have a laptop or netbook . . . that all pretty seem to look alike.
IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov at chess years ago. Teach the Armenian kids how to play Jeopardy!, and let them have a go at IBM's Watson Jeopardy! champ instead!
The newspaper is most famous for its page-3 topless girls
Which is something that Slashdot could use more of! Forget, "OMG! Ponies!" How about next April 1st, we see a page-3 topless girls Slashdot site. Sure should be more interesting than all of those other April 1st articles . . .
If this is anything like schools here are already, as soon as they show up, the doors will be locked and barred, they'll be run through the metal detectors, relieved of anything sharp or electronic, then shoveled into a cramped, hot room where they'll have to endure hours of someone talking at them and there will be no breaks to go to the bathroom.
That sounds like the last time I went through US Customs. And me being a US Citizen . ..
And after, you'll be fed a crappy lunch and told what a rotten person you are, and be given a letter to take home instructing everyone to love you less.
I thought that parents were there to tell you that. But they still won't kick you out of the basement . . .

Wasn't the PC proclaimed dead by Oracle and IBM in the late '90s already? To be replaced by the thin client Network Computer?
You can't take mine on the cart yet, because it says that is isn't quite dead . . .
"Imagine the Earth as if it were immersed in honey,"
I thought that we were already immersed in honey . . .

The "Presidency of the EU's Law Enforcement Working Party"
Now, I am familiar with the concepts of "Working" and "Party" . . . I am not sure that they should be combined . . .
Think of it like a keyboard . . . attached directly to a printer . . . without all of the computer shenanigans . . .

You want a hyped up, aggressive gamer? Take that approach instead . . . he will vanquish everyone in every game . . . but he might kill you, as well.
9 volts to the scalp? What a puny plan! Go for the full stuff, out of the socket in the wall, right on the family jewels!

Do you think China is going to send billions of Yuan to Europe during a crisis?
Well, right now, they would find some happy takers in Ireland, Greece and Portugal . . .
