Previously this was more legally grey but now that Hulu seems to offer popular shows a day or so after their original air date it's not that much of an issue. Then again, I don't use their service (It's not the advertisements, but mostly the fact that I need to register and completely resent having to do so)
Umm, what? Did Hulu switch to registration-only in the last 24 hours without telling me? I have to go check now...
One of my teachers explained the ideal length of an essay in terms of a woman's skirt. It should be long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to remain interesting.

I think I'm going to have to go commit a crime against humanity or something in order to live up to the high standards my other namesakes have left for me...
Contributing to the slashdot effect is good enough.
Before I followed the link, the article reminded me of the story about accessing a network by carting a load of DAT tapes around in a van. Great bandwidth, horrible latency.
It seems to me that ever since the Cold War and the rise of communism, the western world has become ever more tied to money and capitalism. Hence, most people have become very greedy, at least relative to how they might be if they lived in pre-Cold War conditions.
Because of this, it appears that the pursuit of money, combined with the ability of corporations to combine their assets and hire lawyers inaccessible to normal people, has become very dangerous to individuals like us.
I don't understand why there hasn't been a virus attached to a message with the title "Do not open a message with the title..."
I can just imagine it, you check your e-mail and you find a message with the title: ``Do not open a message with the title "Do not open a message with the title..."''

The Nethack player in me just had a heart attack.
Hmm, do I want my possessions identified?
Also they should rename the SciFi channel to Psi Phi.
That was the name of the Sci-Fi/Gaming group at my college.
It didn't help that we had a frat named Phi Psi
So yes, it's ridiculous... but it's ridiculous with precedent.
That's the worst kind of ridiculous.

That's probably the most polysyllabic cough I've ever witnessed.

Donald Knuth's in heaven...
At least he will be when he's dead.
Right now he's still alive
And writing books at home.

But how many Libraries Of Congress On Fire is that?

Yeah, like "Windows" or "Office" or something...
Man, that's a sweet ass-car you've got there.
In the end I think it will sell well thanks to the rabid Apple fanbase and people's desire to own status symbols
You'll never get fired for pandering to people's desire to own status symbols.
Yeah, just ask Lear and Cordelia how that worked out.
After we saved your asses from Hitler, and Hitler's father back in WWI, it'd be the least you could do!
You make Germany sound like D'Hara.
Well, RoboCop already had something like that, maybe we can ask him for a copy.
They'll just think that the planet between Mars and Jupiter exploded in the meantime.
Does G.I. Joe know about this? You should seriously consider switching to Blue Laser.
Each writeup, and each node that contains them, receives a node_id. Apparently, this is the one millionth node_id, given to a writeup in node 999,998.

Has anyone else noticed that both Mac OS X is supposed to come out, and that kuro5hin is supposed to come back, on Sept. 13?
Coincidence? Maybe...
