out of curiousity, why do you add plus signs "+" before everything you google? I thought the only need for the plus operator was to force common word searches.
I gotta tell you, if I were on the jury I wouldn't convict - it's just too damned funny. Law or no law, the hilarity of it excuses the action
I find it rather hilarious when a McDonalds is vandalized, due to their corporate practices.
Should I be on that Jury?
Personally I'm not so sure a jury of your peers is the right thing in EVERY situation anyways. I really wouldn't want to go to jail because Joe Sixpack thought I was a "evil hacker".
The problem is that despite the Fantasy, RPG-like setting, none of the people playing this game have the imagination to role-play. Thus they will whine about such an event, instead of weaving tales about it, and other fantasy-like things.
These people wouldn't be bothered to Seperate Dark Elves and Wood Elves (mortal enemies) in everquest, because it would upset their rate of experience gain.
I wonder if they'll have @$$es in 2880? Antennas? Appendages?
Laugh their Antennas off?
Still, I digress. Its pretty wacky to think what things will be like in 877 years. I mean, look at what has happened since *gets out calculator, 'cause its late and I'm tired* the year of our Lord 1126? The most sophisticated weapon was the longbow, and the french actually use to put up a fight. The Church reigned supreme etc. So much has changed, and todays world would seem bonkers to folk from back then. Hmm, reading this back, I must be tired. Its all so damn obvious.
But they still had 2 legs, 2 hands, 1 ass, and no antennae in 1126.
And they still will in 2880.
Evolution does not work that quickly, especially in populations the size of humans. The world will be different, but we will be the same. (maybe a few inches taller still due to better nourishment).
and that is why we need government subsidized internet access my friend. The gov't doesn't need to profit, and instead can serve the community, as it was created to do.
Well it aggrivates me that if I use basically no water or heat for a month that I still get a minimum bill. I don't know if this is the experience everywhere.
What scares me about the switch from all-you-can-eat to metered Internet access is not the caps--I use a tiny amount of bandwidth--, but that if I don't use the net for 29 days of the month that I'll still be charged like $30-$40 US dollars because thats the minimum.
I'd gladly pay $5 per gig or whatever if there was an option for me to pay $6.50 if I only use 1.2 gigs that month.
Out of curiousity, having never owned a store, when you take your cash to the bank (assuming a couple thousand dollars at least), and they count it all out, do they really not give 20 bucks if they find a stray counterfeit $20 in a stack of $4310 dollars?
Do you as the store-owner take the brunt of this? Can't you just raise hell and threaten to take your business (which must be worth more than $20 to a bank) elsewhere?
I mean I could understand if you brought in bags of the fake stuff, but if it was one bill out of hundreds, I'd be a little pissed if they brought it up to me.
think China would shut up, sit back, and just try to keep North Korean refugees from flooding into their country.
Is that "good enough" in current world politics?
I mean look at the French.. its not as if they took up arms in defense of Iraq, they merely opted out, and the US/French relations have gone to hell. What would Bush say if China wasn't willing to lend support to the "coalition of the willing?" God knows it wouldn't be anything too bright, but what would Bush say?
Perhaps slashdot should automate the conversion of his plain-text URL into a link. Then you don't have to copy and paste what he typed, and he doesn't have to learn HTML.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is C-Band? Some sort of radio?
I'm curious though, because I could really use a break from cable news.

Thats not your humble opinion, that is a fact. Fox News has little journalistic integrity. I've seen their news anchors ROLL THEIR EYES at stories as they read them off the prompter.
I really don't want to get in the rap/rock arguement, but as an educated guess I have a feeling Rap music sales aren't feeling sting that the overall music industry is feeling. At least, they are probably not hurting to the same degree.
Most people I know who listen to a lot of rap are not computer types, and they buy a lot of CDs to drive around in their cars with.
Honestly, record sales are probably down the worst on Rock bands who can play their own instruments singing about love. Thats what is primarily traded online.
Everything2 is cool, and there is a score, which makes it kind of fun, drives me to write things up once and a while.
It has some flaws, though, mainly topics that belong on a forum, with titles like "I like Super Mario Brothers cereal" and "How to injure oneself masturbating in the shower."
That and as a relative E2 newbie, I can say that I've never seen so many people write so much info to get newbies acquainted with E2, and yet have much of that material be unorganized and confusing.

Despite that, when putting content on the web, "rarely do we ask the question: is anybody interested in reading that?"
Oh.. kind of like radio.slashdot.org
wow, you just described the parts of the porn that I skip through.
Am I weird or do most people really like this stuff more than penetration? Penetration being in my opinion the real main course of porn.

I never complained about having to cut-and-paste? Mayhap you meant to respond to the parent of this thread.

They always refer to California as a "failed socialist expiriment" anyhow, so they probably don't care...
And they wonder why record sales are down....

You know, I don't think I've ever heard anybody say "fo shizzle my nizzle" except for Snoop Dogg, and white people making fun of rappers.
Oh, don't worry about me, I'm doing fine now. But it was pure crack at the time.
