But if the price of gold were about gold's industrial and medical applications, it would cost a small fraction of what it actually does. Besides which, how do "industrial applications" provide more of a "real" value than the jewelry industry?
I usually get my news from the New York Times. They're the "paper of record," so they typically try to keep a fairly neutral tone. So I can't tell whether it's just me, or whether there really is a hint of glee in their coverage of the scandal.
I let myself take an 11PM-7AM shift several years ago precisely because I considered myself a night owl. I was waking up in the afternoon anyway, I figured it wasn't really a big deal. Turned out, it was. Working nights pretty thoroughly sucks away your life-force, as nearly anyone who's done one can tell you.
I don't think you know what non-Australians are going to say. In America everything is the same except that "Medicare" is only for old people. So what I'm saying is, "Should I get off your lawn?"
Okay, I've never used Usenet other than looking at some of the Google archived stuff. Which has an atrocious interface. What do you people think was so great about Usenet interfaces?
I clicked it anyway, and I must admit I don't think I've ever seen a picture of a penis that big before. (The picture being big, I have nothing to say about the penis itself.)
Is that you masturbating, AC? Or did you have to search for photos of guys ejaculating? It appears to be hosted on Wikipedia, but it's not actually on the wiki page.
Although, I agree, the focus isn't very good but that's some excellent timing.
That sounds like a ridiculously easy way to get caught. If you wanted to catch the virus author, all you'd need to do way find out who owned the phone number.
Then why should we even talk about their recommendations? Microsoft recommends that you run a Windows operating system. The company that makes your toothpaste recommends that you use their toothpaste. Who the fuck cares? It's just self-promotion.
We are talking about worms from space. Worms so tough that you can blow them up and have them tumble miles to the ground in a giant collapsing fireball...and they come out basically unharmed.
I don't know whether they caused the crash or not, but I am pretty sure that if they ever turn against us, we're fucked.
Also, it's not like Muslims are going to believe the US government anyway
You don't have to believe something, it doesn't have to be true, for it to have significant propaganda value. There was a study done...I don't remember the exact details...where people who had been told terrible things about a person were more likely to have a negative reaction toward that person, even after they'd been told later that they'd been lied to.
That's really the deal with, say, the whole Obama-Socialist-Commie-Muslim-Terrorist-Foreigner thing. It's been consciously played up by right-wing propagandists, not because they think that people will consciously change their minds because they are actually convinced: the people who are out calling for birth certificates were already voting Republican. It's because even if you recognize it as lies and manipulation, it's still an effective tactic for shifting (not necessarily changing) attitudes.
Richard Gere stuck a gerbil up his asshole as a gay sex thing. It's not true, but it's certainly one of the first things I think of when I see Richard Gere. Or was it a hamster? I don't know, it's a totally made-up story anyway. That pervert.
It's not like they need to. The movie's gonna end up on BitTorrent the day it's released (or, more likely, beforehand), whether or not they put it there. It's not worth the extra hassle.

I wonder if their CEO uses "Lawrence" or "Larry" on his account.
I'm twenty-five, you insensitive clod!
I'm pretty sure that the motivation for this experiment was to settle a long-standing argument about D&D encumbrance rules.
Have you ever worked a night shift?

Much like it's long-awaited vaporware cousin, Duke Nukem Forever, the wait will not be worth it.

Will you be laughing when the apocalypse comes, and you look back and say, "We weren't prepared, oh god, we weren't prepared...."
No! You'll be wandering the streets of Leicester, all dripping blood and rotting flesh, hungering for brains. BE PREPARED!

I'm surprised at how many of those are blatantly misogynistic.
Parent is fucking nuts and deserves a boot to the head.
Or because early adopters of BitCoin have a financial interest in seeing it gain popularity.
How about a "War on Anonymous"?

No, they still suck. However, it's a promising move toward a possible redemption.
(I doubt it, though.)
I also wonder about the exceptional American.
Why would they?

Now that I think of it, that's probably not right. You'd have to have an input size I=2 * N^X, and then the algorithm would take O(I) time.
