I think you have found a bug in slashdot:
Is it possible to link to goatsex, and fake the link, in your sig.
CmdrTaco, are you on it?
(And for cryin' out loud, somebody mod down this goatsex link!
Olympics are 16 days long. If each day eliminates half the competitors, and there is a day off in between each 1-day round (or the rounds are staggered) then in 8 competition days, you can have 128 Competitors. (Assuming you have a single elimination tournament, and a single game decides who advances.) If you wanted 3 game matches, you would have to cut back to 32 competitors.
Please become an Acrobat and stick your PDF up your own ass using some good Live Motion. Then see how fast you can Type on Call for you Illustrator. Then with it in you ass please go to the local Photoshop and laydown on the Page Maker untill you Indesign. At this point you will need Type Management and have no Postscript to bail yourself out.
This is fake, sealand citizenship is not open to all, PRINCIPALITY-SEALAND.NET is not the real site for sealand, it is run by someone who has nothing do with sealnd, and is just trying to make money. Something like 20 people have real sealand passports, they are prince roy, his family, and some of the people involved with havenco, any others are a fake, please mod the parent post down, there is no reason to mod up a post promoting a scam
Here's an idea: Why not spend that money on health care and education? Those industries employ lots of people too!
The Military-Industrial Complex as a good thing becuase it employs people is such a load of crap! What you're talking about is welfare! You're giving people money, and the country recieves little benefit in return. (Have bigger penile-substitutes than other countries is not a good thing IMHO)
Every study ever done on the subject has shown that kids learn better when there are fewer of them per teacher. Lets hire teachers, doctors, nurses, and while we're at it, instead of spending $50 Billion on a system that *might* protect us, why not just give the money to the countries if they promise not to nuke us?
In my beta of the next version, it reports signal strength, and in the GPS version (due for release at MacHack next year) I'm actually hoping to figure out a way to draw a map of where the signal is strongest, to indicate the exact location of the Base Station.
Since I installed an AirPort Card in my iBook, I've been having fun driving around in big cities scanning for 802.11 networks. I even wrote a little AppleScript to help me. It uses Apple's speech manager to report when it finds a wireless network, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road if you're driving. I already found a few networks with very poor security, and have even sat in a parking lot, surfing off a corporate network. Download my AppleScript from http://homepage.mac.com/djfox/
It's GPL'd, and I'm looking for lots of feedback, as this is my first real hack.
I plan to eventually add the ability to record the location of each network found, and log all the info to a file. (Anyone know how to log to a file with AppleScript?)
Many people already jumping all over Taco's ass that there are other laptops better than the iBook, but look at the price! For the cost of some of those "better" laptops, you could buy 2 or 3 iBooks!
The government doesn't need to take your guns away to have complete and absolute power over you. Look at the insanity of the drug war:
If the government really wants to arrest you, does it matter how many guns you have?
However many you have, they will *always* have more. Having those guns just makes it more likely that you will end up dead. The only way guns protect you from an oppressive government (which the USA already has, BTW) is if the people have more firepower than the feds, something which would never happen in the USA.
(My monthly charitable donation goes to them, and they get everything in my will. Kids want money? They'll have to work for it just like I did. *That* is capitalism.)
What if the state or the feds loaned people the money to build solar and wind, and the people paid them back over time, using the money they otherwise would have spent buying power from the grid?
Initial cost to consumer is zero, since the money is loaned to them in full.
Long term cost is equal to whatever the cost of power would have been for them anyways, and once the loan is paid back, their cost goes down to almost zero (less than zero if they feed power back to the grid)
Initial cost to the government is high, but the loan is paid back in full with the money saved.
Long term saving for government is huge, if even 10% of Californians (Nevada, Arizona, Texas) put solar panels on their house.
What if every new house (over a certain size/value) built in California had a Solar Panel on the roof... cost to be paid back by the owner over time, with monthly payments equal to whatever their energy bill would have been that month?
This is my great idea. Steal it. Use it. Make it happen.
How about Cuba?
What better way to tweak the noses of those pesky Americans then to deal with Castro & Co.?
With the help of the Canadians, the Cubans could fix their economy, get into space... and eventually rule the world!
I can personally see where this has huge benefits. For example, if my Grandmother was in the hospital in critical condition, I would feel alot easier knowing I can check that she's OK anytime during the day by simply going to a web site. This frees up time for families with sick relatives and allows them to do such things as go to work to pay for the bills.
But what is the corrolary to this? When grandma is dead, do you want to learn about it from a website?
It has nothing to do with luck. The people of Denmark are highly intelligent, due to their excellent (and free) education system. The result is the informed and intelligent electorate elects people with brains to government, who then pass laws that actually make sense. (Unlike certain other countries... *cough*USA*cough*)

I don't want to give the MPAA any more of my money. Can someone fill us in, how did the first one end? How does this one end?
Yet another reason to use an OS other than windows. Anytime I see a windows element on my screen, I know its fake.

Assuming they find it, and want to come after you for stealing processor time, your fscked.
If you fess up, then there is every chance they will go after you anyway.
If you do nothing and they find it, they go after you...
Your only real option would be to break in and remove the software, or hack in and do it remotely.
Good luck.
Newsflash for all you gun nuts:

ah, but how many of those appeals court judges did BushDaddy appoint? How about Uncle Ronnie? (I don't know... I'm asking... does anyone here know?)
Not when you're selling them for less than they cost you.
The Canadian Government has guns?
