The app was approved but with an Adult rating: Apple rates Puff Puff Pass 17+ for “Frequent/Intense Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References.”
And they don't have an "18+: There Might Be a Nipple Somewhere in This App" rating? What makes this sort of adult material different from other sorts of adult material, aside from the developer agreement?
a coworker told me he prefers Fedora (quote: "Any OS that fits on a single CD can't be any good.").
I assume that quote is supposed to be from your coworker. Either your coworker never said that, or your coworker is an idiot. I have a Fedora 12 CD. The whole thing fit right on there, and the live session works perfectly. If your coworker really said that, tell him to switch distros, because by his own ideas, Fedora can't be any good.
Oh, so now ICAO is going to profit from a study being done?
No, according to GP, ICAO is going to profit from whatever the Airlines did in "????". What happens at that step is anyone's guess (as it always has been).
Most people, myself included, are not in the habit of celebrating dead people's birthdays.
I take it you don't celebrate George Washington's birthday, then. I mean, that one's a national holiday in the US, so I'll be surprised if you're from the United States and you don't celebrate that day.
*(I know the period belongs inside the quotes, but the programmer in me rebels strenuously. Suck it Mr. Harlan.)
I do the same thing. The period is not a part of the stuff that I wanted to put in the quote marks, so why should it go in there? When my sentence ends with just a plain word, I don't put a period just before the last letter. The programmer way actually makes more sense to me.
Should we allow airline pilots to text their friends while landing? I'm sure a few could do it without losing concentration, so why trample on their rights?
Well, that's a stupid question. At least, in the US, it has been accepted as fact for years (though in doing a little Googling, I see that this may be changing) that there is no airline that allows cell phone communications at any time between takeoff and landing. If the passengers are required to disable their phones, what makes you think that pilots aren't?
Even if passengers are gradually being allowed to communicate, give me one good reason why a pilot would be allowed to use his cell phone while manipulating an airplane. If any reasonable person is behind airline regulations, then pilots, because of the lives they are responsible for, should be more restricted than passengers in use of personal communications.
Early Adapter: (n.) Someone who can actually bend his mind around why this thing might be useful, and then buy one, and then show how useful it is to those who can adapt to the Apple Way (taking whatever it is they put out and making it the most useful piece of one's collection. Yes, every Apple iProduct is the most useful one to an early adapter). Anyone else will be unable to see what good can come of this, and they will continue to make whatever jokes they can about the iProduct (in the case of the iPad, perhaps a bunch of one-liner puns about menstruation).
Well, sure, it'd make it easier, but now that this technology has been shown - technology that can fold a solid-colored towel or a multicolored towel or anything - it must be developed and furthered as-is. If companies were to try to lock us into their towels so that our robots and towels would be compatible, we'd have comparisons to Microsoft and complaints about technology being held back and whatnot in an instant.
If we know that the robot can fold any towel, any color, any pattern, then that's what has to be developed in order to look good, impressive, or any other adjective that would be favorable to a manufacturer.
The verb "to effect" was used incorrectly. However, it sounds very similar to another word. What he was looking for was the verb "to affect," but he simply chose the wrong homophone.
I can solve the problem differently if I understand it differently.:)

Happy birthday, Adolf Hitler!
Wait, before you mod me Troll, would you really refuse to wish him a happy birthday just because he's Hitler?
No, no, idontgno is correct. America won the war, therefore, America gets to write the history of the war.
If America had lost, you'd have something there.
Because they look enforceable. As long as people think they need to do something, they will do it.
My best guess is that his Slashdot name is probably "Anonymous Coward".
Oh, man, of all the days not to have mod points....
That was hilarious, and I thank you for the laughs, good sir. :D
MOD PARENT FUNNY!

No, really, I liked that pun; keep up the good work.

Never has the donotwant tag ever been more appropriate. Not only do we not actually want this, Star Wars is the origin of the phrase.
I'm not sure if this is "ironic" or "inevitable".

Make sure all your processors are made by AMD. From the summary:
The system will be 'much more intel-based,' a senior administration official says, as opposed to brute force.
Clearly, they're only screening people who use Intel processors.
"A pun?"
"No, no, not a pun, no, what's the other thing, which reads the same backwards as forwards?"
Either "whoosh", or I need to work on my static text sarcasm & joking.
pornographic briefs.
They make underwear specifically for filming pornography? Wow! They just think of everything, don't they?
Er, that's the kind of briefs you meant, right?
Er, yes it is. This is a moon that looks like a space station, not the other way around.
For $2000, I'll build you one that goes to 12.
She sells C-shells by the seashore.
And her prices for bash shells are a ripoff!
I swear to God, I'll pistol whip the next guy that says "shenanigans"!
Except for Wikipedia. I remember having problems with that site yesterday after I read about it on Slashdot.
