She's called Brianna with her mother's last name being Torres. Am I the only one Trekkie enough to see the implications here? Does she have weird ridges on her forehead and a mean temper? Man, those RIAA aliens are in for a big surprise when she reverses the polarity on their legal department and blows them all into space.
1. Invade the house of some shifty-looking arab down the block because you "suspect he has a really, really big gun somewhere".
2. Claim "George W. Bush inspired me to do it".
3. Do some serious time in a federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.
4. ???
5. Profit!
Ah, teleportation. The main reason I'd like to own IBM. They do research on that, you know. If I owned IBM, I'd put much, much more resources into that particular field of research. Why, you ask?
Simple, really.
I'd have them make the sending station look like a podium and then launch the receiver into a stabile earth orbit. Next step would be to invite Bill Gates and a few other dignitaries to the great unveiling. "Yes, step up here, please, Mr. Gates." "Energize!" *Bzzzt* (Meanwhile, in the green room) "Mr. McBride, time. And please wake Mr. Ballmer up, he's next." Muahahaha, and so on.
The link in the write-up is wrong, but the text is correct (or at least taken verbatim from the first linked article):
However, Halley was still good for a major surprise: in 1991, a gigantic explosion happened, providing it with an expanding, extensive cloud of dust for several months. It is not known whether this event was caused by a collision with an unknown piece of rock or by internal processes (a last "sigh" on the way out).
The K in KDE does not stand for anything. It is the character that comes before L in the Latin alphabet, which stands for Linux. It was chosen because KDE runs on many types of UNIX (and perfectly well on FreeBSD). "
OTOH, putting the name of a seriously debilitating illness in front of all program names is OK? I guess it's fitting that billg talked about the Digital Nervous System a few year's back... MS is a disease.

Back in April of 1999, Wired magazine published an issue featuring a black-on-black cover with the title Lights Out. In it, they detailed what could've happened had the Y2K bug not fizzled.
Wow. Were they all psychics? Did they, back in '99, see the end of the dotcoms too?
Which means you spend all day reading the MS site and applying patches to buggy and unsecure software.
So, basically we're all Slashdot Certified Engineers for spending all day reading Slashdot and whining about having to apply patches to buggy and unsecure software? Cool, I need to print up some new business cards.:-)
After "Woody" comes "Puberty". After that, I suggest "A shave and a real job".;-)
Just kidding. Though I have never used Debian myself (I went from Mandrake to Red Hat and now Gentoo), I can acknowledge and recognize the amount of work their community has done/is doing and the innovations which have spilled over into other distros. Good job!

Mmmm, Voyager. And the Defiant, it really kicks Jem'Hadar ass. Wait, do they have asses? And if they do, is it ribbed?
Delta - We hate to fly and it shows.

OK, if you let me know when ESR's net worth exceeds even one millionth of Bill Gates'. Deal?
BTW, check that last link I gave you. But still; ESR isn't SuSe and Bill isn't Microsoft. Please keep them apart, it tends to confuse the discussion.
Ohh, let's!

I just want to know how they get the floor to fit in the fryer.
Shouldn't that be: "The wish was father of the thought"?
Um, no it doesn't.

So instead of bying one really expensive train, I jury-rigged two really cheap ones to achieve the same goal: 2 x 32-bit equals 1 x 64-bit, right? :-)
Bah.

Oh, they have. It will transport Darl McBribe to a Federal pound-him-in-the-ass prison.
*Pound* *Pound* *Pound* You listening, Darl? That is your future.
Bloody mods with no sense of humour. Or should that be "humor"?

Sweden has several glaciers. I'm a bit more doubtful about Finland, but there may be a few up near the Norwegian/Russian border.

Unfortunately for him, he misread the labels and OD'd on "Cretin" instead.
For politicians, a truly usable memory would be of the WORN variety - Write Once, Remember Never.
