A nice night out on the town. All four of us from our branch [in my last job, timber yard foreman] went on the piss for the night. Drinking, live band who were damn good, some pool, bowling, a kebab, and a few fat spliffs.
Yes, that's right, our manager got us a bag of some nice smelly weed and we all had a smoke session! With company money! That said, we could smoke up the yard so long as we didn't get paralytic. Ah the good old days...
If it wasn't for my fscked up back, I'd still be there.:( My current job is shite.
The WAP address in question is slashdot.org/slashdot.wml
It is little more than a proof of concept, since it is the latest story [no comments, obviously] and nothing more. Not even links to older stories. Hence, it's next to useless in it's current form.
I have to admit, I read it at work when I'm REALLY bored.
My girl is on it, once every 3 months she has a jab in her arse. No periods/pms to worry about, which is a big bonus since she is emotionally delicate [Those of you who have been bullied 24/7 for a few years will understand], and I'm always horny;-)
It might not stop periods for all women though*, and I've heard some horror stories about it. I'd google some links up if I could remember the name of it. Perhaps that's why drugs have such weird names?

*She bleeds a little bit every 2 or 3 months, but nothing major. She forgot to tell me last time too. I don't mind a little bit like that on my dick, but when I... Nah, people might be eating.
yeah, I'm already gettin into the habit of paying cash anyway, since stuff from shops like "UK Hydroponic Systems" might look a little questionable.
Maybe I'll buy some mundane stuff like helal meat [cos its nice, I'm not religious] , wholesale fertiliser, petrol [gasoline], small electrical bits, etc., on my card, cos they wouldn't get in a twist about that sorta stuff, right?;-)
Well here in the United Kingdom the fuckers (.gov) already have! Three years porridge, IIRC, if you don't cough up your keys, even if you have genuineley forgotten/lost them. So no, it doesn't matter whether they have anything on you. If they ask and you don't bend over for them, then hold on to that soap!
500 Dollars? Thats a little more then you would spend on a Xbox. 200 for the box, 50 for the service and 50 for a game. Whats that..300? Might make a more reasonable Xmas present for a high school student then a Computer.
You can get a pretty damn good computer for $300; It'll let you surf the 'net, play mp3's, download pr0n, chat up jailbate, uhhh... but I wouldn't bother trying the E3 DoomIII Demo.
Intel are squeezing clock speeds ever higher for Ghz marketing, hence why similarly clocked AMD chips outperform them tick-for-tick. This has been known for a while now.
Intel are forever releasing "The Fastest Chip Ever", and in my experience, AMD will continue to release The Best [for MY purposes] Chip Ever. Also, Intel have a habit of sharply dropping prices on older chips, especially in Q1 of the year.
All the morons about to shout "AMD Fanboy!!!" please do so now, so that you are shown up as the dickheads you are with my next paragraph. All done? Good.
When Intel release a chip that has the most Bang-for-Pound-Sterling for the apps I run, which means mainly games, then I'll consider it for my yearly [times is 'ard!] upgrade.
People don't vote because they don't trust the system. If the system were more open, Democracy might actually mean something.
And if the government was open, and the media was free, and the people were educated, and the candidates were honest, and the Arms/Oil/Drug/etc Corporations didn't fund the campaigns, and... Oh it's okay, we got the voting software source code!
(WARNING: Cynicism ahead!) OK well now this settlement may just be down to a rare flash of common sense and desire to please consumers. Or it may be that they have realised that forming a cartel would be more profitable that pissing cash away on lawsuits.
The cocksuckers use a lame little transparent proxy. I wouldnt mind too much if it wasnt just transparent until it fux up a load of sites, spits back errors, or generally just goes doubleplusretarded and spits a stream of useless packets at you. oh and the sysadmin [well, at least she replied] said "those are replys to DNS queries you have made" yeah right. no they cartainly were not! It's usually passable though, i have to admit.
On the upside, if you like your ISO's/w4r3z/DixX's, you can slam them for 20gig+ in a week and they dont give a shit.:)
World music sales for the year 2001 fell by 5% in value and by 6,5% in units. Europe fell slightly by 0,8% in value and saw a drop in units sold of 2,2%.
So basically they raised the price of their crap, and sales fell. WELL FUCK ME RAW WITH A SHERBERT DIPPER!!!
Oh, and they fucked us Europeans more than everyone else. Ta very much, arseholes!

[disregarding the other reasons: music got suckier, people can preview albums before buying/avoiding, the music labels are parts of troubled Corporations, economic downturn, etc]
1. What do you think the legal (or appropriate) uses of MP3 technology should be?
Compression of audio data.
2. We all know the RIAA complains about the illegitimate uses of P2P technology. Since its most prevalent usage is (by the RIAA's definition) illegal use, what are some applications of the technology that the P2P crowd can use to swing the tide in its favor?
P2P = getting free stuff, whether legal or not. In a capitalist society, the corps want to make money, which is quite reasonable. People getting free stuff, even if legal, pisses them off. Even if the music/whatever is free, they'll still want to charge for it's distribution.
4. An argument frequently levied at the RIAA and MPAA is that they are more than content to label the large majority of consumers as thieves and pirates. What can the RIAA and MPAA do to change this? How can these organizations polish this image up?
They are already doing so, haven't you seen the ads? Oh and a few fat cheques to congressmen so they don't have to label crippled media as such.
5. With laws such as the DMCA and possible future legislation such as the CBDTPA, many consumers feel that their freedoms to enjoy the entertainment they purchase are being slowly eroded away by content companies. What rights (other than the right to listen or view) do you feel that consumers should have with media they purchase?
The ones they had before, regarding backup copies, and copying for their own use. In other words: use it, its yours, just don't screw the companies/artists, however much you may hate them.
That's all the homework I can be arsed with right now.
Just auctioning them page by page would generate megabucks. Just think about it... Some loons will pay a premium for every page from a file just to make sure it was complete, or just for a single page on the off chance it contained some real gem of info that really gets up Microsoft's arse:)
1. Obtain, modify, and release a free OS.
2. Flog legal docs on Ebay.
3. Profit!
IIRC, there have been some funny stories about shredders running long into the night
Yup, you do RC. It pisses me off! How come your Government [which, let's face it, means big corporations] gets privacy and the Average Joe gets snooped on by amenities engineers, neighbours, bent cops, and bent cops++ [pronounced "Effbee Eye"]?!?!?
If I had my way all shredders would include a scanner and mobile phone to upload faxes to a government database for monitoring in case there's any chance of a remote possibility of lawbreaking! Or liberalism. Or socialism. Or accurate political journalism. Or dissenting opinions...

Now I remember, it's Depo Provera, a.k.a. Medroxyprogesterone Acetate.
Now here's the [possible?] added benefits: Loss of bone density, and Loss of hair, I'm sure there's plenty of others not listen on the manufacturer's leaflet. Here's some Q+A thingy, a petition, and a Wired article.
Thankfully, my girl seems fine so far. :)
Happy bonking people!

When I read that bit of the article, I thought "Hang on, isnt there lifeforms already like that?". I was racking my mind for nearly an hour.
And then it dawned on me...
I'm one of them!!!
The Federal Bureau of Youth, Pornography, And The Internet would complement The Federal Bureau Of Alcohol, Tobacco, And Firearms just beautifully!
