The favorite thing about my old rubber-button remote is that I know what button I'm pushing while I'm sitting on the couch in the dark, without having to look at the remote.

Why do they ruin good pr0n by pretending they can act?
...that breakdown after the weekend, so you don't need to retrun them to where you hired them. They come with a warning that if you can suddenly see the road between your legs, GET OFF THE HIGHWAY NOW!!!
Perhaps another approach would be to reduce requirements on the PC power by writing software that is less bloated and more efficient and is geared towards a portable solution. There really should be no need for my laptop to have a 1 Ghz chip just to run some word processing and spreadsheet software. Nor should the computer need 250 Megs of memory just to start up and run some windows. We should eb using nutcrackers to crack our nut, not a pile driver!
No. The electricity used is not the issue within a company. The machines are on 24x7 anyway;
Maybe where you work, but now where I work. We power donw every night. of course this is an NT network, so there's not that much chance of it staying up 24/7 anyway;-)
Wonder how much energy is wasted each year in the US by machines being left on all the time? More proof that *nix is destroying our planet!!
I believe that the greatest threat to the environment is over-population.
I believs the greates threat to the environment is over-consumption fueled by greed and selfishness and the refusla by certain developed nations to face the consequences of their own actions. Let's face it, if we go on the way we are, this planet will be wasted long before over-population becomes a problem...

I go to a conference and present a poster paper. On the back of the poster, being the intelligent, trusting fool that I am, I copy all my secret data that I don't want anybody to see. Somebody peeks behind the poster, sees this data, and tells the whole conference and now they all know my secrets.
But I am not at fault here and the wrong doing is all by the guy who originally looked behind my poster?!
...the heavy breather box. When the telemarketer calls it answers and breathes heavily for a few minutes, then, if they persist, it asks what colour panties they are wearing. Then, if they still don't hang up, it akss them for a phone number and arranges a date for you:-)
If the patent is written in a way to make it obscure and not understandable (by suitable reviewes), then it should be rejected and the filing fee kept. This should stop comanies trying to "innovate by obscuration" and should also lighten the load on the patent office.

... when you be a super villain instead, and get away with using cheats because it's only acting in character;-)
It's ineteresting to note that the Jag had no regional lockouts - cartirdges and CDs from the US would workm in Europe and vice versa. The Jaguar would detect if it was NTSC or PAL and properly written software would display properly on the TV. Pity things aren't so simple these days...
If you could convert other Golden Age video games to Quake format, what would you like to see and why?
Pac-Quake - No need to wait for the ghosts to turn blue - just blast the ectoplasm out of them!
Centi-Quake - Roaming around a giant garden shooting the hell out of giant centipedes
QuakeBert - At last I get to blast that damn spring before it drops on my head just before I complete turning the squares red
Super Mario Quake - Not that it would make a great game, but blowing up that fat little plumber would set me up for the day:-)
Remember when your older sister...

Nowadays she'd be publishing it all over the web and anybody can read it.
The highest altitude a shuttle has ever achieved, IIRC, is around 490 miles.
Rubbish. I saw a documentary only last week where a suttle left the Earth's orbit and went thousands of miles out into space to land on an asteroid. They didn't have extra fuel tanks in teh cargo bay eitehr, cos it was full of these neat, large-wheeled, big trucks fitted with drills and machien guns and everything - they could even jump mile wide cnayons. You just ask the leader of the mission, Harry S. Stamper , a rough-neck, Texas oil man and his team of expert oil drillers if it ain't so!

Reads to me like it was a camcorder version copied in a cinema showing and nothing at all to do with poor security at the film distributor.

After all, this is our culture that we're talking about.

If this is our culture, it's about time somebody put a bullet in it's head!

It seems to me the claim a bit like this case:
I go to a conference and present a poster paper. On the back of the poster, being the intelligent, trusting fool that I am, I copy all my secret data that I don't want anybody to see. Somebody peeks behind the poster, sees this data, and tells the whole conference and now they all know my secrets.
But I am not at fault here and the wrong doing is all by the guy who originally looked behind my poster?!
Yeah, right!
Good solution because all non-geeks have at least two or three old PCs just lying around the place for emergenices like this!

Could these be the first video games to be pirated using a photocopier?

I can't tell you what I was watching last night, but during the break I was sent the adverts for the following products:
1. Wonderbra
2. KY Jelly
3. Bacofoil
4. Kleenex Man-sized tissues
5. Chicken Tonight
Whu not just call it SlahdotSlashdot and be done ?
