Too bad they didn't pass it on the 70th anniversary of the Reichstag fire February 27, 1933, but that might have been too obvious. History does not repeat itself but it does produce derivative acts. I haven't read what passed, but it did have a provision to allow you to protest a gag order/national security letter. After ONE year. Let's enjoy freedom of expression while it lasts. Do an I'm-feeling-lucky Google search for asshole.
Skype isn't the only show in town. AMD should check out Gizmo. Eventually we'll have a bunch of incompatible competing VOIP like the way we have instant messaging (Yahoo! AIM, etc). I can hardly wait!
It should be the other way around. It's what can OSS learn from business to into enterprise. I attended PyCon. I was impressed by the way a number of them realized and advocated interacting with normal people and adapting to them rather than beeing geek know-it-alls. And they had social skills. Yes, you can be a geek and have social skills. Oh wait. that's part of the definition of being a geek no social skills. Never mind.
After finding a pic and reading up on it, I discovered the mug can only be dropped once not repeatedly like the blurb implied. It's more like a crash helmet. Crash once it protects your head and you throw it away. So it gets dropped once you can drink out of the mug. Drop it again and no more mug. Also misleading is that it can hold the coffee when you drop it. It looks more like SpongeBob's pineapple home than a coffee mug.
It could be worse. Her name could be Asswipe. I'm told by an authoritative source this is a real name in India. Well, if you consider Saturday Night Live an authoritative source.
I saw an episode of BBC's Black Book's where Manny was playing with a shiatsu machine. He held up the machine to his chest and made some comment about being a robotic/android hooker. The shiatsu nobs reminded one of very conical breasts rotating in opposite directions. Make them implantable, add an mp3 player, and a subwoofer. Hmm... I wonder if Spike TV would be interested in a Bionic Singing Breasts show. Pamela Anderson would be perfect for the role. Here's a proposed scene.
BIONIC PAM knocks on door of bad guy
PAUSE
BAD GUY: Who's there?
BIONIC PAM: Mammogram for Mr. Guy Evildude.
BAD GUY opens door.
BIONIC PAM wearing a 1960's sexy white nurses outfit turns on MP3 player, music starts booming out of HER sub-woofer, begins striptease. BAD GUY mesmerized
BIONIC PAM unbuttons top exposing her bionic breasts
BAD GUY: swallows Uh.
BIONIC PAM: sexily Come a little closer.
BAD GUY steps closer BIONIC PAM reaches around and grabs the back of his head and pulls him towards her breasts.
CLOSE UP on breast starting to rotate rapidly in opposite directions. We hear music booming even louder out of HER sub-woofer
BIONIC PAM pulls bad guy into her Bionic Singing Breasts of Death
REVERSE SHOT We see BIONIC PAM from the rear a little distance back. BAD GUY struggles briefly. LOUD CRUNCH THEN POPPING NOISE. BLOOD SPLATTERS OUTWARD. BIONIC PAM lets go and BAD GUY now headless drops to ground.
QUICK CUT CLOSE UP on headless body
CUT TO BIONIC PAM We hear zip. She turns the music off in HER sub-woofer. Turns and walks away. No blood is to be seen on front of white dress as she strolls towards camera, hips swaying.
BIONIC PAM: turns head towards lifeless body Was it good for you too?
It's yours. Run with it! Even more disturbing is a Billy Bass Mouth-like Dildo replete with eyes and a tiny mouth that moves and sings "I want to **blank** you like an animal!"
I think a Billy Bass Mouth would make a strange MP3 player or any of the dozens of different singing fish, birds, or animals on the market. What about a lava lamp or pet rock mp3 player? Just think of all the sex toy MP3 players you could make. Imagine a dildo playing NIN "Closer". The possibilities are endless.
Ten year old child brings Grant Theft
Auto to the counter and asks to rent it. Gord speaks to
the father.
"Sir, might I suggest a
different game? This title isn't really a title for
children due to inappropriate material."
"Why is that?"
"Substantial violence
and swearing."
"Holy fuck!
You're shitting me! I can't expose my son to god damned
swear words at his age. That sort of shit will fuck him
up. That's bullshit they make games with swearing.
What son of a bitch would make a game like that?"
<dramatic pause>
<Gord types into the
computer>
Note: Nathan can rent
mature games - so says his father.
I saw this cool program many years ago on TV about the Cane toad problem. In one scene they showed a VW microbus heading towards the camera down this two lane rural road. Every so often the microbus would swerve and you'd hear a pop. Then they'd cut to an interview with someone. Then cut back to the microbus, more swerving, more popping. It's not till they get close you realize he's running over toads. They did indeed make a mighty satisfying pop. Then they eventually interviewed the driver of the VW microbus. He quite enjoyed running over the toads.
Unfortunately, like Cambridge, St. Andrews has suffered from negative publicity as a result of its taking occasional pupils from failing schools and admitting them with A level scores which would not normally allow a student to be admitted. But at least it meant that some of the Windsors got access to higher education, so perhaps the policy is defensible.
So, you're saying it's good to be the king. That's one of the best backhanded compliments I've read in a while. You must keep your standards on the lowest rung lest you fail to allow those on the highest rung in. In America, we are a little more pragmatic. We simply redefine what high standards are similar to the way torture has been redefined. It's not torture unless it causes organ failure or impairs bodily function. How else could we end up with best and brightest in our highest office?
My first computer. Oh man those were the days. My first computer was an Ohio Scientific C1P. It had a 6502 microprocessor, 8K RAM, 8K ROM. It had no clock. I had to use a casette recorder to load or save programs. If I wanted a cursor to be able to backspace I had to load a BASIC program first. I used an RF modulator so I could hook it to a portable black & white TV for a monitor.
I paid $450 for it in 1979 and I managed to sell it in 1990 for $50 to someone who thought it was the bomb. Otherwise, it would have made a very expensive boat anchor. By that time I had a Mac Plus.

Woohoo! My post got moderated Troll. I must have pissed off some neocons!

In other news, Corn Flakes are now $5 a box.
Dude, that sucks! No more corn flakes for me. I'll miss' em. When did they start charging movie show snack prices for cold breakfast cereal?

"Oh wait" "Click on that picture, there" "Man, she's got some nice hooters."

Hey this is just as good an excuse to post this link to Brokeback to the Future.
differently, dammit!
what is it with merkins and adverbs?
Oh, I agree. We have these retarded highway signs in Oklahoma that say drive friendly'. My ex said they should say 'drive friendily'.
(but I liked the NAPalm idea, needs an "i" somewhere tho).
iNAPalm?
If people start downloading pron from iTunes straight to the iPalm things could get iHairy.
iGoatse.cx?
Cool, they can combine the Newton with the Palm and use Apple's exploding battery technology. Introducing NAPalm. Burn different!
