Actually this is not that offtopic : I didn't reveal my identity in order not to be associated with the poor karma this post had gotten : so, we have a typical example of what the article describe... IMHO;) PS: Do not upmod the parent otherwise you'll prove me false:)
For example, those who think they are overweight ask a higher price to step on a scale in front of their peers, than those of average weight. I guess it's not the same for underweight. It all depends on how bad this would be perceived: Obese people will less likely be understood by "normal" people whereas skeletic people will actually be overprotected as the ill people they represent.
I personnally have thousands of MP3, but I listen to these 512MB at once using my Sharp Zaurus : I think an iPod drive will never be big enough for all, that's why I prefer compiling my weekly 8-9-hour long list and keep being surprised by stuff I would not listen too otherwise : this has to be a little difficult to remain interesting !
Exactly, this is the reason why I actually bullshit them, it doesn't bring anything more valuable but it maintains the level of mediocrity they apparently promote.
Why was this modded as flamebait ? MSFT is one of the richest American company which profit is stock based. Their sales go up => their stock value increase. Now, If their stock value diminishes, then the US economy also share the loss hence the direct correlation between Bush (who's not actually keen on others' refusals) and MS.
With an 80% gross margin, I guess it won't hurt them that much... Especially with Bush's obvious support, EU will have to be somehow less severe (maybe indulgent).
A young boy walks into a whorehouse dragging a crushed frog on a string. He goes up to the madam and says, "
I'd like to have the service of one of your young ladies, but she's gotta have herpes."
The madam, taken aback by the boy, asks him, "Little boy, why on earth would you want to ruin your life at such an early age?"
The boy says, "I don't want to explain, Either you help me out or I'll go somewhere that will!"
The madam figures his money is better spent here than somewhere else, and takes him into the back to meet his lady.
About an hour later the boy, still dragging the frog, tries to pay for his time.
"Keep your money", said the Madam, "but I've just got to know why a boy your age wants herpes so badly. Won't you please tell me?"
The boy takes a deep breath and sighs. "Ma'am, you see this frog? When I go home tonight, mom and dad are going out, and the babysitter will come over. And the babysitter will get the herpes. Then mom and dad will come home, dad will take the babysitter home, and dad will get herpes. When mom and dad go to bed tonight, mom will get herpes. Tomorrow, I'll go to school, dad will go to work, and the milkman will get herpes. And the milkman," the boy sobbed, "the milkman is the son of a bitch who ran over my frog!"
Now, with a proper sed'ing:
A young skr1pt k1dd13z walks into a whorehouse dragging a crushed computer on a string. He goes up to the spammer and says, "
I'd like to have the service of one of your young bulkers, but she's gotta have MyDoom."
The spammer, taken aback by the skr1pt k1dd13z, asks him, "Little skr1pt k1dd13z, why on earth would you want to ruin your life at such an early age?"
The skr1pt k1dd13z says, "I don't want to explain, Either you help me out or I'll go somewhere that will!"

The skr1pt k1dd13z takes a deep breath and sighs. "Spammer, you see this computer? When I go home tonight, proxy server and exchange server are going out, and the mail gateway will come over. And the mail gateway will get the MyDoom. Then proxy server and exchange server will come home, exchange server will take the mail gateway home, and exchange server will get MyDoom. When proxy server and exchange server go to bed tonight, proxy server will get MyDoom. Tomorrow, I'll go to school, exchange server will go to work, and Darl will get MyDoom. And Darl," the skr1pt k1dd13z sobbed, "Darl is the son of a bitch who ran over my computer!"
Yep, I guess this explains why garage fees are so hiugh in Switzerland : they've got standards to respect so the country where I now live might also explain why even middle ranged cars such as Peugeot are that high profiled:)
Well, I previously had a Fork Ka and a Volkswagen Golf, I then purchased a 306, and I now have an 806HDi. I have to say that, in.CH that is, Peugeot cars are really well maintained. Worth the investment.
How can it be "redundant" if I funded the project and booked the cacko.biz domain name for Sash, our lead developer, and purveyed the Tomsk lab with hardware and logistics support ?
Not Apple, they do not care : they have a niche which is gaining sufficient money to keep them rich and developing sexier stuff. If the ywant some Linux stuff, they might encourage porting it because this is also what Open Source is for.
This is no false, in Switzerland, a coutnry where people improt cars and usually prefer reliable ones, you can see as many French cars as German or Scnadinavian ones. Peugeot has really changed during the last 10 years and their 406 really rocks. Same apply for Renault. The 80's are definitely over and BMW begins to wonder where they'll soon be as James Bond stopped advertising for them.
Excuse me, but why do you think every new virus is suppose to defame you ? Is there somebody stupid enough to think Open Source advocates which indeed are Hackers (a.k.a. "Bidouilleurs") are hackers (a.k.a. "skr1p7 k1dd13z") ?
Well, IMHO, patenting software would appeal to something much more accurate as "one-click ordering"... It'd involve huge complex algorithms along with an exhaustive study... My point is not to encourage software patents, but rather to make these hard to get so that only the people who actually desserve to be patented will be.

have you ever felt guilty over using Mac OS X instead of Linux?
Why does the story submitter want me to justify myself because I love using my Mac better than I enjoyed my previous Linuxette ?
Hi Rosco, :O)
Not 12 : 3...
It took my post time to get downmodded and I was a little busy emitting opinions on the matter.
Answer from eBay : Did you mean... dictionary ?
;)
So, well, I did mean it, yep, but "eBay m'a tuer"
His answer? "You go to a store called a bookstore, and you buy something called a dictionary."
Why ?

Well, if, with 12 nominations, this one doesn't get one, then it's doomed :)
BTW, I really enjoyed the Triplettes de BElleville and I hope they'll get one : it was wonderful storytelling and realisation.
BTW, is the topic "oscars", "lotr", or "movies" ?

Happily, the story submitter gave our website mirror address, so they won't Slashdot the original website...
Neither the main company's site.

Has somebody done it before me ?
Well, there's a complete development environment to be run on the Zaurus itself, and it was before we (cacko.biz) actually created our environment.
Make a whois :) :)
Glad but surprised to be Slashdotted

Thank you very much for this explanation, this reaches the level of details I expected when I asked my sincere, though unusual, question.
me ?
a "well-known troll" ?
so, a troll is somebody who asks sincere questions about considerations he doesn't want to accept "as is" ?
