Really I think its a waste of perfectly good food to not to eat people. Think of how many starving people 1 fat person would feed. It is like recycling food.
Microsoft is so desperate for page hits on Bo^Hing, I'm surprised they're not bribing schoolkids with boiled sweets already.
I dunno the computer labs at my sisters school switched to Bing homepages and gave out candy on the same day. Coincidence? Maybe, but I wouldn't put it past them.
Hold music is replaced by a twisted AI that sings about cake and says it's okay if you want to leave (a message)....
But GLaDOS makes a great answering machine. She is a good way to filter out the messages I didn't need, but I haven't had any voicemails in a month so maybe I should make sure she's working.
Oh gawd, she's using my phone as a sonic weapon against me. HEEEEEEELLLLLLLL
Really, HTML5 video is a no-go until the browser vendors can agree on a codec, and that ain't gonna happen anytime soon...
Why can't people just download a codec pack of sorts if they don't already have a usable codec? We download Flash if we go to a site that needs it, so what makes downloading the codecs so impossible?
By the description in here the cloud didn't work because:
Worse, users resented giving up control over their machines, adds Mike Slavin, partner and managing director responsible for leading TPI's Innovation Center. "The technology underestimated the value users place upon having their own 'personal' computer, rather than a device analogous -- stretching to make a point here -- to the days of dumb terminals," he says.
So why does it look good now? Oh right different people heard the setup and a new generation gets suckered on it.
I could see the internet being the highway, and every user (and their data) being a vehicle. Emails being about the size of a glove compartment and porn being the size of a fleet of wide mobile homes on the highway. It works better if you think of streaming as a carpool lane that doesn't get in traffic like everything else.
If it were a movie about the books it would be, "Nobody is buying our movie of $NOVEL so it must be pirates." Its odd that books don't normally get that but I guess it has to do with feasibility of the average person to get a book versus a movie online and watch/read it.
just that you really can't sit back in 2009 and say "oh yeah, taking a wireless telephone/music player/internet browser/GPS navigator/portal games platform everywhere I go and being able to use it, even in my car, is obvious to people in 1960."
If you went back in time and asked them they might have responded, "Does your car fly too?" It seems kinda ironic that the one thing that was across the board going to be here by now is something we don't have; we have all these other nice things but no flying cars to speak of.
Which is almost odd because typically zombies ARE humans that had something done to them. Robots, aliens, or monsters that aren't human at some point would be easier to push past the radar (at least I would think so).
Slashdot Mirror
As the deadline begins to loom, suddenly you're looking at 2-3 meetings per day per developer, with many meetings getting called at the last minute.
Wouldn't that hurt the problem by taking developers off getting the project done to talk about what needs to be done?
I was even shooting for funny, I didn't expect to be taken this seriously.
I am all for banning the eating of other people.

You act surprised. Very few TLDs mean anything now.
I considered that, but I would just as well not vote on that part than get wishful thinking that any other party stood a chance.
You did not vote for your federal level house rep or senators, or any state/county/city level offices?
I only chose to not vote on a few items, and Office of President was one of them. I didn't not vote at all.
Parent maybe off topic but I fell outta my chair reading his post. Definitely funny.
You do not have to be good, or compliant to win. Just not %otherparty
That is the reason I chose NOT to vote. Neither side earned my vote so neither side got it.
This time I'll count using Binary on my fingers.
That isn't going to go high enough either.
I dunno the average Starcraft BNET player is Korean. The majority sets the skill average high too.

Because Apple checks all programs for the iPhone, no bad programming can ever get through.
You in the market for a bridge in the Brooklyn area?

Actually GoldenEye (N64) invented hit locations, including head shots.
Unless you used the golden gun.
The writers for T:TSCC were desperately trying to avoid writing themselves into a corner.
If only they hadn't done the show in a way that voids the third movie.

Nobody's going to be calling them canon.
Somebody will. Most likely not a majority of people who care at all, but somebody who has no idea what they are talking about will.
This guy won his argument invoking Godwin's Law? I thought calling someone a Nazi or Hitler was a sign that the name-caller has lost.
You could fix overpopulation and starving with exactly the one thing. Cannibalism.

I think "politician" is the most derogatory name you can call someone.
I always thought it was 'nigger'.
Even the blacks don't call each other "politician".
Its an odd day you find a honestly funny post on here containing the word nigger.
