a paper cup containing spongy jelly that you had intercourse with
*I* most certainly did not have intercouse with a spongy thingy. And by the way, what kind of freak would it take to sell some spongy stuff *I* had intercourse with? Or even worse, what kind of ueber freak would buy the spongy stuff that I had intercourse with. Aaaah. The horror (** sound of hair being torn out of head**)
First of all, I think that it works a lot slower than ordinary typing, especially when done by a trained typist. But more importantly, if you should use this for coding all day long, you would probably feel like you have been in an all-weekend Quake frag fest. The strain on your brain (oooh, it rhymes), especially the visual part, is a lot bigger than if you're working like you do now.
Pretty neat for a piece of 1970's technology. Not really. I mean, the journey it made, the navigation around the planets to gain more speed was pretty impressive, but in my view it is not impressive to leave to solar system. You see, on the next Shuttle flight they could bring a 16th century vase, and hurl it into space. Give it a few years, and it will too leave the solar system, but is that neat, or impressive?
Just imagine...

Aaaah, you're watching way too much pr0n. You see the weirdest kind of things going on in those kind of sites:-). Installing programs like proxomitron helps avoiding these popups. But I think the pr0n sites lead the way in nasty advertising, pop-ups, pop-unders, modified browsers, redirecting etc.etc.

Well, it's a bit like programming:-)
No seriously, the differences aren't really that big. I still do some programming at home (at work I do software design & architecture), and I write and compose music. It least I try, I could use an extra hour or two each day. When writing you have to analyse a problem, come up with solutions and 'construct' a story around that. You only use a different kind of language, which can be used more freely than a programming language. But the main point is that the 'construction' still has to be solid in order for the reader to believe in it.
Escher died somewhere in the 1970's, that's nowhere near 100 years age. His most impressive work was made in the 1950's and 1960's. Also, that's nowhere near 100 years ago.

It's friday afternoon, it's 16:30 over here, I'm at work, it has been a busy day, and I was convinced it read 'the masturbation..'. I think I'll call it a day and go home now.
Indeed they do. Yhey've already proven yesterday that they can add 2 and 2 together (moonrocks anyone), so this shouldn't be too hard a problem for them!
This law then doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Considering the fact that, given the effort, it is perfectly legal to visit Antarctica, plus the fact that a lot of material from Mars, and even probably from the moon, can be found there, it is very well possible to own this kind of material, without the need to ever visit the actual moon/planet(s).

Being a great Monty Python fan, and not knowing the comedy group 'Sketch Club', I am very much afraid that it will be something like Backstreet Boys singing a few newly found Beatles songs. It can never be as good as the Python boys doing Python, however hard they will try.
fair enough. When I record music, I keep a log on the different versions of a song, and I number the different versions as well. I only backup files that have changed since [timestamp]. That saves on CD's. I mean 500 CD's a year is an awful lot of CD's to store in your house, and it is quite an amount of plastic as well. How long will you keep all those CD's. And when you don't need 'em anymore, do you throw them away?
# Sales of blank CDs have grown? You bet. I bought a new Vaio in December, and now back up all my files onto CD. I go through 7-15 CD's a week that way, or about 500 a year. Most new PC's come with XP, which makes backing up to CD painless; how many people are doing what I'm doing?
Not too many I guess; some of us use rewritable CD's. Why don't you try that too?

You forgot to mention that they'd probably require you to have a Passport (Tm) for that

We can be quite sure that is *not* made out of:
- Gouda cheese
- recycled AOL CD's
- Rubber
- Cookie dough

Maybe that'll help them to narrow the options downEscher died somewhere in the 1970's, that's nowhere near 100 years age. His most impressive work was made in the 1950's and 1960's. Also, that's nowhere near 100 years ago.

Yeah, but at least Monica gave a whole new impulse to the cigar industry...

Higher fps means more subliminal {drink Coca-Cola or you'll go to hell) messages which means more advertising which means more income. Great!

But luckily, it is only $99.95. Suppose it was $100: now that would be *really* expensive
I think the only obvious action for the Linux world is to unleash the .LIN initiative (TM). It is the only logical next step after .NET and .MAC.
