  1. Also, for us Geeks there is often the opposite on Top Searches of 2003, A Dave Odyssey, Banned Words for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Who else hear thought that there were two words:

    Rondeyvo and rendezves (phonetic spelling)?

    If you only read and never correlate the spelling with the pronunciation, you can be very confused.

    preventing the discernability of your turgidity.

    Could you claim that Viagra or P3n*1s 3ngorgem3nt spam is illegal, in that it would make your wood discernable? Or is this discrimination against the "big-boned?"

    Otherwise, get a boner, go to jail.

    Sounds like a good .sig! :)

    Hey! Lincoln, Nebraska looks real nice! In fact, the only thing better looking that seeing Lincoln through the front windshield is seeing it in the rear view mirror!

    or the showing of covered male genitals in a discernibly turgid state.

    Doesn't that mean it's an arrestable offense to pop wood in public?!?

  9. Re:Not a useful comparison on Encoding Data for Audio Tape? · · Score: 1

    An interesting feature of Mandrake Linux is that when it asks for disk 2 or 3, you can select cancel to not install packages from that disk. Very nice in the above situation! The only way deadrat can do it is by starting the install all over again, and not selecting packages on the third disk.

  10. Re:ain't nobody happy! on Wind Turbines Kill a Few Birds · · Score: 1

    Some enviromentalists won't be happy unless we all freeze in the dark. It's a simple power scheme. They ask for something that they cannot have, so that they can keep dictating what has to be done.

    True enviromentalists actually work for significant change, such as reducing coal plants even if it means dead birds or nukes.

    After all, the problem of nuclear waste is actually quite a bonus: all the waste is in one location, instead of spread all over the world like coal pollution is. Heck, we could probably turn some useless island (like Greenland or Australia :)) into a nuke dump and keep everything else nice and clean.

    Nukes for everyone!

    No. Go see it again. Tell people someone on Slashdot told you to. Treebeard says, "There is a wizard here to manage." And Gandalf says, "Here he must remain until you give me my staff. The one with 'Bad Mutha-fukka' on it.."

    Well not exactly. But do listen again. Sauraman is not dead.

    There was a famous event where NVIDIA's drivers would skip some calculations based on the filename of the executable, which would result in a higher benchmark score. Search around for quack.exe for an example of this style of thing.
