They just pretend to pick you up for some casual sex, but then when you fall asleep in the hotel they perform surgery, snatch your kidneys, and into the bathtub full of ice you go... It's true! This happened to a friend of someone who sent me an email....
Come on... the debate about iTunes' "might-be-obsolete" format and sorta-DRM has been had over and over on slashdot; is it really news every time someone posts a blog entry about iTunes? I'm an apple fanatic as much as the next guy, but what purpose is really served by another discussion about whether the most popular online music store is going to be "obsolete" soon?
Heh... I guess more purpose is served by that than by me bitching about it, so I'll shut up now.
Are they gonna keep banning terrorist nicknames? Osama is sometimes called Abu Abdullah; should that name be banned too? How about abumusabalzarqawi_iz_a_rockstar@yahoo.com? Or aymanalzawahiri_suckz@yahoo.com... abunidal@yahoo.com... somebody quick register SeifAlAdl@yahoo before it gets banned too. When they run out of Islamist terrorists will they move on to banning bomb-hurling anarchist nicknames? louislingg@yahoo.com... ravechol@yahoo.com... when does the silliness end?
They reversed the order of the letters. So they are now only banning the string Halla in user ids. It's a reference to the bread used on the sabbath by Jews, more commonly spelled challa. Either that, or it is short for the Norse home for martyred warriors. I believe they are hoping that the outcry from the Jewish and Old Norse communities will drown out criticism they have received from Muslim activists.
someone please explain whether the above is meaningful or whether he just made that crap up. I can't tell the difference and my brain is starting to hurt after looking at it and I'm worried it's because of the earth's magnetic field. help!
I'm sorry to hear that Microsoft is the latest sufferer of this common problem. I'd like to help them out; I get a number of advertisements in my inbox each day offering various treatments for premature release. Perhaps someone can forward these emails to Microsoft?
The Japanese restaurant had several human sashimi selections -- most were quite good, though the supermodel toro was considered stringy and overpriced. For those on a budget there's also Raw Men noodles and another noodle soup with freshly killed human called "U-done." The Indian restaurant had a spicy cheese dish made with unionized actors called the SAG paneer. They also had a really tasty stockbroker vindaloo. Mexican tacos de cabeza del hombre was all the rage among early predators. The Greek place on the corner had some great grilled heroes....
OK, OK, I'll stop. No, it's OK, really, I'll stop. What? OK, OK, I'm leaving.
Alexander's conquests cut both ways - he spread Greek civilization, yes, but Greek civilization was also influenced by those of the peoples he conquered. As an example, you mention that he wanted to be treated like a God -- this concept of treating a human like a god was foreign to the Greeks, but was common to the Persians. Alexander demanded, for example proskynesis (a sign of obeisance) from Greek subjects, who were not too happy about it (I believe he had one of his advisors killed for refusing). Alexander demanded that such traditions be incorporated into Greek culture and they were. Of course there were more subtle examples - the point is the Greeks intermingled with other cultures around the globe and as a result were influenced by them as well as influencing them. Alexander's goal was not to spread Hellenistic culture - his goal was to spread the cult of Alexander.

They're much tastier, too!
But still only one button....

The best though is their name for the google national archive archive: gnaa.

yes, you hit it right on the head. That is precisely the difference between slashdot and yahoo.

Apparently not, as they can just write another story about how there are fewer sharks than before.

It works for Apple.
Unlike the slashdot summary of the decision.
One word: Heathkit.
So *that's* why they're called "micro-soft"

And both will save all your data in a searchable database for centuries.
Why "or"?

Don't you mean hunted buddies?
They found a book written by prehistoric birds called "How to Serve Man"
It's a bit of a mystery, yes. But if you look at the clues, you can figure it out.
Forget law enforcement. Send your resume to the nuclear power plant in Springfield...
Now that's what I call a real iPod killer!!
