In other news; it has been discovered that dangerously high levels of Fenol (a chemical related to alcohol used on circuit boards in both CRT's and LCD's) are given off in the first two weeks of use of new monitors and increases your chances of getting cancer quite a bit.
Seeing as reviewers must see a lot of these (new) monitors, this is becoming an occupational hazard...
(Actually, now that I think of it, TV suffered the same fate. Originally touted as an educational resource, it turned into the junk box it is today. It's just history repeating.)
TV was never meant as an educational resource in the USA, it was meant to be an advertising medium. You know why soaps are called soaps, right? They are/were sponsored by soap/detergent companies.
It looked like they were headed that way they had that ensign (Cartright? maybe?)
Crewman Cutler.
who seemed to get some focus in a couple episodes (on an away mission in the episode with the slave race, and the episode where she has a crush on Flox)...ah well I hope they work something out and we get a season 4 and perhaps they can strighgten this out...
That would be impossible, since she (Kellie Waymire") died last november...
Actually one way tickets were how America was founded like 250 years ago. Probably took as long for those ships to get here from England as it is going to take a manned space ship to get to Mars, so...
Well, for one, America was known to have a breathable atmosphere (if you don't count current day Los Angeles) and natural resources. You had a chance to survice there. If you go to mars, you're totally dependent on what you take with you; if you're out of oxygen/food/fuel, you're dead.
After a 18 hour operation, a router was removed from a belkin representative's rectum. When asked how the hardware device got there, all the man could say was "No. More. Spam. I. Promise...."
During the operation, the heart monitor seemed to have contracted a strange glitch; every 100th heartbeat a message about "Herbal Penis Enlargements" would pop up, blocking the stats"
In the Coke/Pepsi deal the worker had to sign something saying he wouldn't publicly endorse another product (by drinking it) while working. I imagine MS might have a similar deal.
Except he's not endorsing the macs. This is more like if he'd worked at coca cola and taken a picture of his boss drinking pepsi and put that on his weblog...
Did i mention a lot of people didn't even bother to collect their deceased relatives and they had to be stored in things like vegetable cooling buildings only to be eventually buried in poor man's graves?
PS I am not an american.
PPS Although i agree with Dubya being #1 weasel, the place should have been shared with Tony Blair (vice-weasel maybe).
People might have chosen France as the weaseliest country because they let thousands and thousands of their parents and grandparents bake to death in 40C+ temperatures while being away on holidays for a month... (PS Most of the doctors/GP's and hospital staff seemed to have been on their holidays too)

I thought SG-1 discovered Atlantis? BTW: I think this is my first post as a "first" post!
No, it was just a small outpost under the ice of Antarctica... (S7 ep 22).
Maybe they'll find something in Season 8, who knows.

If you live in CA, support Barbra Boxer.
Did anyone else see this and go "Barbra Boxer Barbra Boxer Barbra Boxer Barbra Boxer Barbra Boxer MUSHROOM MUSHROOM"?
No? Must be just me then. I'll be off to my Badgers Anonymous meeting now.
David Hart, chairman of Texas-based Hart InterCivic, which manufactured Orange County's voting system
Wow. Riceboys get their own votingmachine company now? Do they come with racingstripes and a spoiler?
You have to wonder what effect all this TV watching has on the children's attention span.
What? Sorry... i lost you after "Just great..."

Until we've exhausted what we can learn from unmanned probes, why send manned missions at all?
Because we can?
We could feed the entire world, but we're not.
We could get rid of most of the dependency on fossil fuels, but we're not.
There's no real need for wars, we could have peace if we wanted it, but we're not.
etc, etc.
So, just "because we can" is nice in theory, but in real life, it just doesn't work that way.
You still can't deal massive quantities of dope
Can't you?
I wonder if this could somehow be adapted to treat Multiple sclerosis, where the immune system attacks its own myelin...
Any thoughts?
..but all my business man charts saids that nerds like sex and science fiction!
Rick Berman, is that you?
Oh well... at least we already got paid.
Must be.
Except, you'll smell the wookie.
You'll probably experience about the same experience into the 7th or 8th hour of LOTR marathons....
Maybe someone should replace the red dye cartridges with brown ones to reflect the true nature of this advertising campaign.
Acclaim have shit-for-brains and every time they pull this sort of crap, they get free publicity in the media.
One of the first things that get wiped in an intrusion are the logs
Try wiping logs printed out on a matrix printer...
I'm amazed that those ATMs were connected to the Internet, without apparently even a firewall to block all but necessary ports.
1) If you don't open ports in the first place, they don't have to be blocked either.
2) An ATM has no business accepting connections from anything but the bank's computer, just block everyone with an exception for that one.
What are these things programmed by? MSCE's?
Did common sense go out the window?
This made me start thinking... Has Redhat ever been compromised?
Most likely. They just haven't had the guts to admit it like Debian has.

Belkin belongs on fuckedcompany.
TV shows that are not worth watching.
Nothing to see here, move along now.

I don't think that someone who paid $220,000 for the car is going to worry about the price of a car battery...
An anti-linux article with a big fat advertisement for microsoft right smack in the middle of it.
Can they get any more transparent?
Fucking flamebait crap.
They're raking in the cash for that ad right now because they managed to get mentioned on slashdot.

Microsoft has already promised to patch IE to remove the offending patent work--isn't that enough?
Yes, and everyone knows Microsoft has a spotless record on keeping promises.
