Are they sure that someone didn't spill soda pop on the lens, when they took the measurements? Hmm, this spectroscopic analysis seems remarkably like the spectrum of Pepsi.
Unless, of course, our new alien overlords also drink Pepsi!
Sounds Like another Star Trek Spinoff

The title sounds like another spinoff of the Star Trek TV series. Like we need another one of those....
So when can I expect to see a new Apple commercial, apologizing to the Vista guy for ripping about the lack of security of MS's operating system?
Maybe one where the Vista guy is dressed in his kingly garb, and the Mac guy bowing on one knee before him. I'd then expect the Vista guy to whack the Mac guy on the head with his scepter. Take that, Apple!
is that Ashley Grills, who wrote the actual message about the world being better off without Megan Meier, had immunity protection from being prosecuted, for testifying against Lori Drew! This woman is just as evil as Lori Drew, and should be punished as well!
I don't think this idea has been thought out all the way.
I like the idea, but for neighborhoods with association members that are not technically adept, what will they do to maintain the network? Do it themselves?? I don't think so. If they attempt it, it will be a support nightmare. If they are unwilling/unable, they will have to hire an outside person/firm to help them support the network. We already have this with ISP companies with dedicated IT support staff.
This would work with people living in the neighborhood who know what they're doing, but I don't think this will work on a wholesale basis. And God forbid I move into a neighborhood that has adequate neighbors maintaining the network, just to have them move away later, and have the neighborhood drunk take over the network administration.
Nope, didn't RTFA at all! Got that quote from the header.:)
Yeah, I didn't realize before that the patent was on a device, would have been nice if the dunderhead who posted the article made that clear. Require me to read the article? The nerve of some people!!:)
'Though U.S. Pat. No. 5,933,812 to Meyer, et al. discussed previously provides for an entire table of patrons to pay the total bill using a credit card, including the gratuity
Since when has paying a restaurant bill with a credit card for a group been patented? Does this mean that I'm paying royalties every time I treat my friends when we go out to eat??
Who is the idiot modding this as Funny? A SPICE model is an engineering tool used to diagram circuits. It is NOT related to any of the Spice Girls!!!:p
The main goal of this plugin is to reliably find problems in the network and raise alerts about them. As a user, you want to be sure that you are getting the service that you're paying for and be notified quickly about network problems, especially those that can lead to compensation for service interruption.
As a user, so what if I know what the problem with my ISP's network is? I still have to call their crappy support lines, and wait the hours it takes their idiot technicians to fix the fucking problem.
Arbor Networks disputed Symantec's interpretation, saying, "we're not seeing this rise, not on TCP port 445 and not on TCP port 139. Looking over the last month we don't see this rise in MS08-067 attacks that would raise any alarms for us," in a Friday blog posting.
Both McAfee and Microsoft echoed those sentiments.
Seems like a shameless plug for Symantec to "look better" than their competitors. Crying wolf here won't get them the additional sales they think they will get.
1. Diatribe on the benefits of *nix over other operating systems 2. Diatribe on the bad products and business practices of Microsoft 3. Diatribe on how annoying it is that \. readers do not RTFA 4. Diatribe on the diatribes of \.ers
and finally,
5. Surf pr0n (preferably goat pr0n) on their PCs in their parents' basements!!
I wasn't trying to comment on the attractiveness of female dwarfs. It was the next best choice of non-human races. Would you have reacted better if I had included orcs? Trolls? GNOMES?!?!????
1. Better/more productive interaction with trolls and orcs 2. Able to dual wield weapons years earlier than other kids 3. Greater self-esteem when leveling
and most importantly...
4. Able to talk to virtual characters of the female (elf, dwarf, whatever) persuasion!!
Does your pitbull like playing with a well swung crowbar? Dogs are not a panacea, especially against someone who knows what he's doing.
Haha, you wouldn't get a chance to swing it. The dog would be on you the moment you opened the door, and once he has a lock on your arm/leg/whatever, all thoughts of swinging said crowbar would leave your mind. I'm not saying dogs are a panacea, but it was a tongue-in-cheek response to the fact that most burglars are deterred by other means of home protection (dogs, guns, security systems, etc.).

Not to mention that you have to have the video card traveling at 88 MPH.

Who names their kid "Bear"??
Ah well, could be worse, I guess. Coulda named him "Chicken" or "Goat".

They could have done this alot easier by performing the experiment in my back yard in January (I live in the upper Midwest).

Now I can sleep well at night, knowing the unique environment you are in.
Yes! Now you too can star in your very own pr0n movie!
Ah, the wonders of software!

make copies of my keys. Have fun "playing" with my pitbull waiting for you on the other side of the door.
What is the best way for humans to deal with the inconsistent amount of light over the year and still foster coordination over disparate time zones?
