"Hurricane Geico killed my dog, destroyed my house and my whole friggin town, but I saved a lot of money on car insurance!"
Think of it the National Weather Service or the National Hurricane Center could sell hurricane naming rights to corporate sponsors. We could have Hurricane Halliburton, Hurricane News Corp., Hurricane Home Depot, Hurricane Martha Stewart, Hurricane Microsoft, Hurricane SBC, Hurricane Krispy Kreme, Hurricane Starbucks, or even a Hurricane Slashdot. Then people would really know what the Slashdot effect is.
Too bad we couldn't have Hurricane Enron, Hurricane Tyco, Hurricane WorldCom, etc.
We know how all charming, friendly, and compassionate computer industry big whigs are. Aren't those the first qualities you think of when you see Larry Ellison, Scot MacNeally, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates? Ooh, I can feel the love radiating off of them now!
If buying a Mercedes-Benz were like buying Oracle, they'd sell you a big crate of parts and tell you to put it together. Oracle and Java may be powerful, but the learning curve is just atrocious. I'll stick with LAMPPP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl, PHP, and Python), thank you. You can with those tools, like Larry the Cable Guy sez 'git her done!"
FEMA isn't about accessibility to those who need it. They've already demonstrated that. Whatever happened to Section 508? The Slashdot blurb may be misleading, but FEMA may be in violation of the law. And if they are they should be held accountable. Write your congressperson. This about the 508 law:
n 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. ' 794d), agencies must give disabled employees and members of the public access to information that is comparable to the access available to others.
We just wonder when private industry will put Nasa out of the game.
The idiocy of that statement is so profound, I can only attribute it to higher education. You must have gone to college to write something so moronic (1).
Indeed. The word fucktard comes to mind. Anyway, NASA management screwed up big time, twice. Once for Challenger and once for Columbia. The latter being less forgivable. The unmanned side has done very well though.
They are going to sell prime Louisiana real estate to fund their venture. Most of it's in and around New Orleans.
Oh, yeah, and according them, Biosphere 2 was a great success just like FEMA's efforts for Hurricane Katrina relief. I still want to know what happened to Biosphere 1. mygodwhatabunchoffucktards
Perhaps a New New Orleans could be built on artificial islands and piers with canals replacing the streets. Smaller historic areas could be placed behind levees and dikes and would be easier to protect. Of course a riverboat wouldn't be as maneuverable or sexy as a gondola. Maybe James Cameron could film an underwater version of A Streetcar Named Desire.
It's going to be called MS Hype.
Microsoft's idea of a killer app is more like a steamroller. It's big. It's slow. It's unwieldy. It's relentless. And it's gonna crush you when you discover your feet stuck in wet cement.
I've only been to Nawlins (New Orleans) a few times. Once was to see the Pope, and another was for Mardi Gras. I was already an athiest by the time of the Pope. I guess it was just inertia from being a recovering Catholic that I decided to go. And there we were in our smurf suits (Air Force blues) telling each other bad Catholic jokes.
I did get to see the back of the Pontiff's head as his Popemobile drove by in the torrential rain. I think there were 250,000 people in that huge fucking field.
Mardi Gras was more fun. "Show us your tits!" 'nuf said.
I had my first Hurricane there. A wicked, wicked drink of fruit punch with rum. Why wicked? It only takes one to get you blottoed. It's probably the closest drink to a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster you'll ever find on Earth, that's legal.
Now it looks like New Orleans drank it's own hurricane. It'll be a decade before the city fully recovers, and it will be transformed. Perhaps the Dutch will lend us their engineering skills to help build a better levee system. New Orleans can be resurrected and should be. Alas, it won't be possible for many of it's citizens.
You can't "solve" the world's food problem. You give humanity more food, you get more humans.
Not if you feed them Soylent Green. That'll take care of the extra human problem. We do it all the time with cows. Of course, there is a small risk of Kuru. But they'll make sure tainted Soylent Green doesn't enter the food supply.
an article from The Independent which would seem to indicate that coffee has numerous health benefits, and could be construed to be a 'health enema'. From the article: "'A study has found that coffee contributes more antioxidiots - which have been linked with....blah, blah, blah... have been linked to...blah, blah, blah. Studies have associated coffee enemas with a reduced risk of liver and colon cancer.
I am reminded of episode 608 of South Park. Where Cartman bet he could shove food up his ass and crap out his mouth. And he started a fad, interorectogestion. Martha Stewart even showed how she could shove a turkey up her ass. Coffee as a health drink? I think not. Coffee as a health enema? Try it. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Redundant? Shoot. How come redundant stories can't be modded down? And just because the other post mentioned the episode as well doesn't mean mine's redundant.
Wal-mart's warehouse conveyor belts presently move products at 600 feet per minute... but they want to be faster."
Didn't they see the I Love Lucy episode "The Candy Factory" where she and Ethel worked on just such a conveyor belt for chocolates? The conveyor belt sped up and they couldn't wrap the chocolates fast enough. Eventually they had to start stuffing their faces with chocolate. Would RFID tags have made a difference? I think not.
Robert McClain learned that chainmail is no match for a Taser. He tried to
go medieval on Michigan cops. While holed up in
his basement armed with a large mallet he uttered: "I'm gonna crush your fucking skulls, I have a thousand years of power."
Who gives a shit? Really? This has to be one of the most pointless posts on Slashdot I've seen. It's worse than a dupe. How long before this gets duped? What do they take us for? I'm glad I didn't even fucking read it.
The geeks were destroyed when the dot-com bubble burst. Blogging, including geek blogging, is all about signal to noise ratios. As more people get into blogging, the noise level goes up. Since there is less signal, gee, there must be a decline. It's like saying Hollywood's profits are down because of piracy. No it couldn't be because most of their movies suck. No that couldn't be it. Oh, wait. They finally admitted to that. What a bunch of fucking dorks, er, geeks.
Children being potty trained think that turds are suitable to be given as presents. It's because parents are so happy they aren't crapping in their pants anymore. When I first heard of blogs I thought it was just another name for turds.
If I've said it once I've said it a half-dozen times: "Outsource to Oklahoma. It's like a third world country!"
We have pockets of high tech surrounded by wasteland. People work hard and the wages are low. So is the cost of living. The roads are bad. You need an off road SUV to drive on city streets. People do have a high school edumacation. And the speak Engrish better than some non-natives. It's a great place to live but you wouldn't want to visit here. Tulsa itself is a mecca for low cost call centers. We have over 70. It's one saving grace is that folks here are pretty friendly.
"Ignorance is bliss" isn't just our motto. It's a way of life. Oh, and if you ask someone from Oklahoma City what the natural color of dirt is. They'll tell you it's red. Try it.

See this film how one man's life was ruined by porno. It's called Farm Sluts. Don't worry it's work safe.
Dunno why they died out but I saved a ton of money on car insurance. Hey, put that club down. Ooww!
