What we're witnessing, I fear, is the broadcast model of government: You and your country's wealth are the product, to be sold to the highest bidding corporation(s). We've had this system in the USA for quite some time, and it's been great for the Corporations.
That's why it's my honor to introduce, for the first time, and probably, last time here on/.... "The Corporation"... An organization funded by Americans for Americans that will lobby, bribe, steal and rape for each and every shareholder of our Corporation. For a small quad-monthly fee of $150,000 US you too can have your very own army of high price yes men, lawyers and what power elite's package would truly be complete without the blackjack tables and those wonderful high price escorts!
This is a limited time offer, join today, restrictions apply, void where prohibited (unless you pay extra), operators have been strapped down and are waiting to take your call...
That's a nice thought, but a real number would be more effective.
Lobbyists and politicians simply won't know any better. They just won't know that it's not a real number while the lawyers will look at it as a new definition to be used for billing their clients even moar.
All the while, people on Slashdot will be complaining that it's not really a real number while they are working 9am to 7pm in their little cubicles with their shitty red staplers just like the good little sheeple they are...
Well considering how much money Google has I'm surprised they haven't upgraded their van's to use laser turrets that run off small but powerful nuclear batteries...
They could just drop the vans and vaporize human target from space! Lets all hope they never get that Google moon base fully operational!
Depends on the handgun but probably 4 clips. Then again it was probably 2 if they used an AR-17 but it could have just been 1 if Google paid for the 100 round mag...
I agree that things must be bad now that Google feels the need to take out Bring users in the middle of the day. What if children had been near by!
Do no evil... right... Maybe Google should think of the children and call off there holly war...
Ow, I guess there's been some slight corruption in that sector of my brain. I best restore from the backup before it spreads. I hope this betamax tape is still in working order...
The salesman who sold it to us had helpfully left scans of his current account statement in the document server... After thinking about what uses we'd actually have, I decided... it's useful... printing something confidential... thus ensuring that... (the company is now defunct)
Hummm... that must have been a really awesome hookers and blow party your company had!
linux zombies can likely transmit very quick to the "zombie" cores
Woah sweet! I've been having major problems dealing with zombie processes on my 6.4Ghz AMD rig of late. I didn't know I had the option of herding them all over to their own zombie cores! Sort-of like a botnet but for zombies right?
Can I do this in the kde or do I gotta use that text window thingy? Is there a one-click thingy you can kermit me?
This sounds like BS to me. If Blackboard was so bad, they would fail in the free marketplace and be put out of business. Since the value judgments of the free market are beyond reproach, the fact that Blackboard still exists and in fact is very expensive, means it is highly valuable and therefore good.
HAHAHA.. I really hope you're joking.
The Free market doesn't work like that when you inject blackjack and hookers into the equation. Do you really think that the teachers or IT staff for that mater get to decide what crapware is forced on them?
I guess you've never worked in government... Honestly I'd like to know where you do work?
I used it and yes it was badass... I ran a multi-node Telegard BBS and OS/2 was about the only thing around that had ok DOS vitalization... I recall loving OS/2 Warp v3 but when v4 came out I had a bunch of problems and switched back... I also ran Novel Netware 3.1 at home and a 10Base-2 network. I had 1 token ring card but had no idea what the heck it was...
A 1MB 30-pin SIM was $100 at the time. Anyone wanna play Land of The Red Dragon or Lore for awhile?:-)
I was 16 at the time, one would think I'd have made something of my life but nope I'm flat broke... O well, next life I'll have to skip the computer crap and go straight into business management and doing evil...
You jest, but the fact that the majority of the weapons used by drug dealers and kidnappers here are bought in US gun shops and gun shows speaks volumes
I wasn't really joking honestly. Exaggerating the level of organization and stripping away all the false justifications that are used maybe but I wasn't competently joking...
Guns, like drugs and alcohol before have always followed the path of least resistance. I'm sure there are a lot of people here in the U.S. making a huge amount of money selling guns that they know are going to these criminals. I do hope you realize that the world is flooded with weapons and that these criminals will get whatever they want because they have the money to do so.
The U.S. did create the root problems that plague Central and South America and I am sorry for that. Great wealth is always amassed from the suffering and blood of the less fortunate. I will say that we here in the U.S. will be re-learning a very hard lesson in the coming years when things come back around once more.
Just as soon as we are finished in Iraq we can turn our attentions to Mexico... We will make billions in our new war to free the Mexican people from the cold vise like grip of anarchy! We will be seen as their greatest liberators and make a shit load of money selling weapons... to both sides, MuHaha!!! Not to mention our partners over at Param-Co will make billions selling all the confiscated drugs and well then our friends at Gov-Co will get their bribes, o I mean, taxes... And hey even Media-Co will get all the material they need to keep the sheeple scared and angry about all the wrong things. I can see the headlines now, "Illegal Mexican immigrant plot terror attack", "Mexican national caught moping floor of famous celeb, sentenced to death", "Hord of dirty, decease carrying, brown people invade homeland", WOW, Our new national ID law will pass itself! IT'S BRILLIANT!
The best part is that we have already began transitioning Prison-Co over. I mean honestly for some strange reason, 'Refer Madness' just doesn't inspire the pleebs like it once did but our marketing team has discovered that pedophiles are the new witches, drunkards, commie's, brown people, eh you get the idea. So everything is already in motion to keep Prison-Co profitable. I mean drug addicts just never seemed to be right, they are just so lazy and poor. Hopefully the Predo's will have the money for the years of therapy, drug treatment and all the required gizmo's we want to force them to buy..
Very nice work Jenkins. You will be rewarded with a free subscription to your local premium cable TV service for life and perhaps, just perhaps mind you, if you keep up the good work, one day you might move up in the organization. You seem to be an idea man... maybe something in investment banking... We are a few men short currently but I'm not making any promises.
See what else you can come up with for me Jenkins. I will be sure to let the board know how helpful you have been so far but I need more. You're a good man Jenkins, I'd love to be able to move you up a few notches... You know, your wife and daughter look rather cute in this picture. I'd love to meet them....

So how many terms did you serve as class president?
Yeah, but it's a pretty big prime.
Yes but it's not an "optimus prime".

Woooosh!

Doggone it! You'd think, after 25 years of Unix, I'd know about that option. That's a good one. Thanks.
Well to be fair the source patch was just released for testing a few days ago. ;-) So feel free to update those man pages!
HONESTLY WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE MAN PAGES!!!!
I run ed under emacs and find it good enough and all you will ever need...
Use emacs. It's the best of all worlds...
always produces the cheapest, most efficient, and highest quality outcome.
O my bad, yeah we are in total agreement then... The corporation does indeed always reap the highest quality outcome!
This would probably work out well if it wasn't for the hordes of man eating rats and re-animated skeletons that inhabit these caves.
But I guess it would be pretty good security as long as the terrorists didn't happen to bring +1 war hammers and town portal scrolls along...

a collapse of that system could lead to anarchy
