I used to joke about that with a friend. He was going down on a girl and found a crusty bit. We just assumed that it was a glitch in the VR and left it at that:)
Anthropomorphic terms should be disallowed from scientific reports and media releases. Words like "breeding", "cheating", etc. conjure up magic in the imagination, but are ultimately (deliberately) misleading and are the worst form of analogy because they imply so much that just isn't there.
That's why I don't cheat on my girlfriends or breed with them. I apply losing algorithms instead.
I must have been out of the negative refractivity thread of modern physics, but I love this word...
"They had free drinks that night. Trevor was absolutely PLASMONIC. I mean... shit, man! he almost had a negative refractive index. Lucky we got him in a taxi when we did"
I think it was the bit where one of them said, "I'm so hungry I could eat the arse out of a dead hippo". The mental imagery is just the same whether you see it on IMAX, normal cinema, or video, so it won't matter.
Without going into all the IP crap, this kind of makes sense in the days of free email accounts with limited quotas.
However, what would be even better is if Hotmail et. al provided you with an overflow email address that gets your hotmail mail when your quota is full.
The ability to get your old/dead mail accounts forwarded to a new account is OK, but a quiet word to your SA in the job you are leaving is cheaper:)
The animal lovers should donate their body organs to keep animals alive after I've turned cow and pig livers and giblets into delicate tasting cracker spreads.
While sometimes violence is the last resort of unjustly treated people, it is also a tool for the powerful to gain more power/money (read Kuwait, Timor, Afghanistan, Kosovo, USA, most of the rest of Europe, Asia, etc)
And Dylan also had a line that went something like... "people rob you with a fountain pen"
Reminder to self: unplug keyboard before drinking on slashdot.
Funny comment. But when I'm working in a team with a lot of work to be done before a deadline, and someone says they have nothing to do because they are waiting for other people, I get totally pissed off. The next logical step for them would be to find out if anyone else needs help or something to be done. Then again, I'm a full-time employee working around contractors.

Sorry, sooo off topic, but... Anyone who quotes the funniest pseudo doco from the opening of a Star Wars movie in their sig needs kudos. Mod the parent up!

Oh, crap, I'm a code from Mars and you have to guess the 23rd chromosome.
When companies set themselves up to charge hundreds of dollars for strings of unique data called Certificates. It's frigging disgusting. I'd trust a private key long before I bought a certificate by companies who slam, and from companies who sold my identity to spammers.
Slashdot Mirror
The other question is, did the REAL Bruce Perens get fired?
In the book, the screen shots looked more like a mac.
"* Not everyone needs a screen. If you just want something headless, it's much smaller."

I use my Xbox connected to my stereo as a jukebox. No TV. I have memorised the button sequence to get to the song list I want and start playing it.

I play KingPin, Mother****er!
Well, other than the game being crap, the city was awesome.

I'm not sure if this is a jedi mind trick, but Mozilla 1.1 "feels" _much_ better and smoother. It's up there with more "lickable" :)

Booyah!
Awesome. Therein lies the power of the net. You have been my google search. Thank you.

What would you do if you ran out of things to do?
"No Junk Mail"
Although it never worked for Real Estate Agents, the pricks. They never believe their advertising is junk mail.

I so wish people would learn to spell precedent.
Quit bitching about corporatisation (Australian spelling, and correct) and learn to spell. HAND
I played Anarchy Online, and I did and said stuff I could have done in a Christian chat room for free, but without the graphics.
Where is the 3DMMORPG for Leisure Suit Larry? I want something to tide me over until I get my holodeck (Thanks Scott Adams)
You want a hardware upgrade?

Hang on, which one was which?
A good idea is to go in those 24/48 hour game competitions. They make you finish something.
