Definitely one of the better political commercials out there. For those who haven't seen it its a black and white (duh! everything was B&W back then!!!) shot of an adorable little girl picking petals off a daisy with cuts to an atomic missle take off counting down.

I haven't read it in a while, but wasn't the combination the STOCK combination from the factory?!
Feynman is my favorite wise-cracking, lock-hacking, bongo-playing, skirt-chasing Nobel physicist!
to be fair, you have NO IDEA what real time, human grade systems go through. And the companies that provide avionics equipment also have big-ass insurance policies to back them up.
Millions could be wiped off the economy of major countries.
Whats a few paltry million dollars to a country with revenues in the trillions?!?!?
P.S.- your post is troll-fud and ill-conceived. YAAT. YHL. HAND. (you are a troll. You have lost. Have a nice day.)
They aren't funny because of obscure geek references! Tehy are funny (wow, I just came up with a new spelling for they!) because they say "pee pee", "poo poo", and "Shitcock." Its toilet humor at its best.
This is the best troll I have ever seen on Slashdot. As in, "wow, this is the product of a frighteningly advanced mind!" Sir, I salute you. This is fantastic work.
Lesse, I've got big Software Design Document changes to distribute on Monday, and I've missed the deadline for having an underling put those changes into Framemaker (which I've never used before but I'm sure it isn't that hard...) and its Friday afternoon and I'm browsing Slashdot.
Does that mean I don't work unless there is stress and impending doom? Or am I just a drama-queen?!
If so, she proved them the fuck wrong over the past four years.
Maybe, just maybe, they would nitpic any woman down and come up with "valid criticism that would cast doubt on her suitability." I know how to play that engineering game.
The Whiting School of Engineering announced a female head a few years ago (Dr. Ilene Bush-Vishniac). No big deal, right?
Some big wigs in the department went on sabbatical as a sign of protest. WTF? Apparently there is enough sexism amongst geeks for this to be a big deal!
So why is this necessary? Because geek guys feel their testicles are threatened by powerful women. GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!
ugh! Thanks for the heads up! Just got an e-mail from the builder regarding placement of island in the kitchen... I'm thinking this is one of those times where I'll need to whip out the measuring tape!
Also I've been dealing with measurements for my house recently- anything below an inch isn't worth it. I've also been dealing with mortgage numbers; anything under $1000 isn't worth it.
When dealing with VLSI in school, you can believe I was just a bit more precise!;)
3 digit minimum? Instead of engineer, you can call me a slacker.
Johns Hopkins. My classmates were worse. And actually, if you want more precision than my gross approximations, you have to pay me. This is slashdot; nothing here deserves more than a gross approximation.
Well, there is another option: "Hey kids, we're gonna 'see' a 'movie' by going to the library and reading a book! Close your eyes and start pretending!"

thanks for the correction! I've got X-windows on the brain!
yeah, when you shill for X11 and sell your top slots, slashdot users tend to bitch and moan. Or maybe you don't remember that...
Wait, slashdot was ONCE a leader in getting news to us first?!

I should have originally written:

Great! A second-rate search engine buys a second rate MP3 player! News at 11!

lack of device drivers?
Possibly the cost of an AIX license? (though thats not a silicon limitation)

Oh yeah, and user friendly ain't funny at all.
The exception that proves the rule. Yeah, that was badass, though.
I guess you could also include "Fritz the cat" too

I find it amusing that when saving things on my cell phone it shows me a diskette picture!
