Don't the fools realise that this is exactly how ghoualas are created, their furry little faces covered in fresh corpse blood as they howl at the moon in their squeaky ghouala voices, dropping out of eucalyptus trees on grieving mourners to gnaw their ears off, using their big fuzzy ghouala ears to locate fresh bodies by the sound of the worms gnawing and their big cute ghouala noses to track the scent of newly planted meat...
The agency added that security officers viewing the scans would do so remotely, where they will not be able to recognize passengers but will be able to trigger an alarm if needed.
Yeah, you can just imagine the sort of alarms they'll be triggering to get all the boys running for a look..

I feel it necessary to vote for the lesser of 3 evils, at least so things can be BETTER than they are now. I would rather have my say in voting for someone who can win, than in voting for an ideal out of protest for the others.
Sir, would you like your testicles served to you deep fried, boiled or shredded?
Not always easy to tell which is the lesser of the three evils;-)
But these were revisions to improve the standard or to fix problems that weren't seen beforehand, not to patch over gaping holes that were seen before the first specification was approved.

I think your missing the main point here...... what is the address of that seedy little motel on the side of route 9 where you cavort with no less than 3 women other than your wife?
It's not just those who voted for the standard that should be admonished, but thsoe coutnries who knew it was a wrong and corrupt process and yet still abstained!

It would never work. As a true geek he would obviously write his code using vi - and they would never let him have a keyboard with an escape key...

Stop them now, before the ghoualas get us all !!!

Were I thus inclined, I'd go for the biggest market out there

When you say out there, is that as opposed to in here on Slashdot?
Because you sure wouldn't get many returns from licensing that patent here - although you'd probably be safe from prior art claims

Yep, but as it's mostly around the waistline that they're growing, they'll all be dead of obesity-related illnesses by the time they're 40

Is it time for an Open ISO group to be set up to create real standards?
It's a great old saw and it would be true if OOXML was anywhere close to being a "standard".
Basically ISO have (reportedly) taken a plate of dog faeces and labelled it as finest caviar - but that doesn't make it caviar!

Sweet. I can't wait until my car radio has 10,000 stations and I have to wade through them all to try to find something that doesn't suck.
;-)
Well, for me that's currently a step up from dozens of stations I have to wade through and I still can't find anything but crap...
Luckily, my car radio has presets so after one wade through, I would be able to pick my favourite music stations and store them for later recall...
