Isn't he supposed to be in the sewers, collecting the discarded balls from the pong players above. The ghosts are their guards, because even though they don't care about the balls they can't stand the thought of lower classes taking their stuff.
*Faux* charity. A lot of people try to use "charitable contributions" as a way to scam the system. To me, the guy who is struggling to pay his rent but still kicks in $20 is a lot nicer person than the dude who rolls up in his BMW and gives $100. Of course, the charities themselves don't want to say something like that, because they can do a lot more with the $100 than the $20, so they want to make everyone feel special so they'll keep donating.
Wikipedia aren't out there telling everyone to link to them, they're just sitting quietly in the corner being awesome, and everyone links to them because they're such a good source of information.
Part of the beauty of a joke is what you leave unsaid. Let your audience work out why what you just said is funny, instead of just giving them everything.
He already said it starts about 4 minutes in, what more do you want? I assume he means that it's 4 minutes of meatspin before it goes into the how-to guide for making your own goatse.
Exactly: for anyone turning around and telling us that we need dealers: let them show what value they can add to the marketplace. If they're giving people something, then they'll continue to survive and turn a profit. If they are indeed just middlemen that we no longer need, then we should not be subsidizing them, and we should force them into more productive lines of work.
I guess, yeah you'd have to look at the regular trips and find someone who sinks up on that so you can do it several times a week. Then you don't have to worry about the overhead of finding someone who needs it, working out if the ticket will actually be any good for them or waiting around. Any of those things make it not worthwhile. Maybe an app with some kind of micropayment built in: you tell the app where you want to go, and it hooks you up with someone and handles the payment. Then you still have the issue pf waiting around/trusting random strangers etc.
Yeah, but if you set up a shop in the hub station, people could buy or sell from you on their way on or off the train. Of course, even if it's not illegal, the transport authority probably still has the right to kick you off their station, which they probably would do if you tried to buy and sell their tickets.
I can't tell if you think that is a possibility, or it you're just trolling. Look at this picture of how far away the Earth is from the moon: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2... The moon is both incredibly large and incredibly far away. The idea that we could affect it to the extent that you could see it from Earth is completely ridiculous. Look at the "dark side" of the Earth as seen from the moon: http://sciencenordic.com/what-.... If all the lights on Earth don't make an impression to the moon, then nothing we'd even think about putting on the moon will have any noticeable difference to us.
He's the Steve Jobs of the vacuum world. He takes what other people have done and packages them up nicely enough for an insanely popular consumer product. Sure, it's not the ugly guy in his garage kind of innovation that a lot of people around here would like to imitate, but it's the kind of innovation that pushes the world forward.
The odd time you might find Skinny Puppy in the "Metalz" section - if that was the case - the store in general probably did a poor job categorizing any of their music by genre at all. [...] I think one would be hard-pressed to be more specific with a genre for Skinny Puppy, beyond "Industrial" that would accurately fit all the songs on a given album without just shoehorning.
Some people seem to be intent on categorizing things to the point where each genre only has 3 songs in it.
I used to frequent 2 record stores; around the same time one of them split the metal section into Death Metal. Black Metal and Darkwave/Industrial, while the other one created a new Metal/Punk Category. I stopped going to the second one.

Yeah, but that's almost like saying that the leaks can be prevented by coating the pipes in unicorn sharts.

Well done, I got down to your third bullet before I realised you were trolling. Try to get in a little earlier for more exposure next time.

I thought you guys were boycotting this week. At least bring some facts to your discussion http://www.twst.com/update/388...
Intentionally kicking someone out of a country they are legally entitled to be in is quite malicious.

Corepirate is actually kinda cool. I think I'll find a place to use that one.

He had some Bitcoin stored on his glass. That's the real story.

Congratulations: you've realised that there are some things which can't be easily answered with absolute statements.

I don't think you've quite understood the idea of a boycott.

Maybe once the boycotters leave we can read /. in peace again.
My first thought was that he was blaming beta for breaking his screen. Kinda like the earlier story about Dell insisting that VLC broke the speakers.
