    You want repetitive plot lines? Two words: Scooby Doo.

    About $5,000 dollars, I think.

    Yeah, that's one of the great paradoxes of modern rock. Easily their best selling song, and it ruined their career.

  5. Re:Better them than me. on Great Firewall Becomes Greater · · Score: 2

    Yeah, it's off his latest album, entitled "My right to download all the music and software I want is constitutionally protected according to 1337-dude39 on slashdot.org"..really long title, the spine of the cd formats it really poorly.

    Effective and efficient are easily interchangeable words, don't feel bad.

    I saw the "Futurama" the other where Bender went up against the Iron Chef, and at the end the Chairman goes "Domo Arigoto, Mr. Roboto"..easily one of the funniest scenes ever in that show.

    I find it hard to believe a cigarette smokers survey qualifies as a legally binding document.

    Swarming? Like what? The bees? Or the dogs? Or the dogs with the bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoots bees at you?

    Intel employee: You built a 10nm transistor! We we're doing that! You must've stolen it!

    AMD employee: You are aware we make the same product, right? Any technological advances either one of us makes, rest assured the other isn't far behind. Surely you don't think you are the only cpu manufacturer interested in reducing transistor size, right?

    Intel employee: I'll shut up now.

    We used to try that shit on beer companies in college. We rarely got a reply but every now and again we'd find a case or 2 of beer waiting for us at the P.O. Box, completely wrapped up and inconspicuous. Hell, we even got bottles because they weighed less.

    I've heard cigarette manufacturers are a lot more giving than the beer companies, but I never tried it.

    Santa seems pretty lax on security, you'll notice.

    Yeah, he's right, you're a moron. You obviously don't know shit 1 about networking, or hell, probably computers in general.

  16. RIAA involvement? on Covad On The Mend · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I just found out my local broadband ISP, Cox Communications, is helping the RIAA track down mp3 traders. I spoke with a friend of mine today that knows someone in their IT department, who told my friend that the way it works, at least with my ISP, is that your ISP provides the RIAA with a list of all the IP's in the range that Cox leases, and the RIAA monitors p2p networks such as Kazaa, Morpheus, etc. When the RIAA finds a trader with an IP in that range, they contact Cox with the IP, Cox pulls up their records(3 month leases, last time I checked), and then, with the cooperation of the RIAA, decides a "punishment" based on how much mp3 downloading you actually did. Apparently the "punishment" can range from a warning to perminent cancilation of service from Cox, all the way to the RIAA bringing legal action against you. It was enough to scare me, and I've toned down my downloading accordingly. I really hope my ISP is the exception more than the rule when it comes to such an intrusive man(witch)hunt I see unfolding here.

    With the exception of Tic-Tac-Toe and possibly this Awari game, I can't think of a single game without some factor of luck/chance in it.

  19. Uhhh. on Awari Solved · · Score: 5, Funny

    Perfect play always results in a draw? In America, we call that game tic-tac-toe, and we didn't need any computers to figure it out, either. Hell, my first day of kindergarten I was told the game was futile by other children.

  21. Re:But I've already got a PortaPam! on Palm Offers Refund to m130 Owners · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, warezing is fine. It's when you think that warezing is a political statement that it gets lame and unacceptable. Here's an example:

    "I pirated this because I'd rather spend my 20 bucks on hookers and blow." --ACCEPTABLE

    "I pirated this because everytime I download warez the DMCA becomes my bitch!" --UNACCEPTABLE(But this mode of thinking automatically grants superuser access on /.)

    I can make over 16 million colors using only red, green, and blue, so I'd say they're telling the truth.

    Actually, along with a cracked version of Bejeweled, Sim City(the color one, not that lame ass black and white one) is generally considered the hardest palm game warez to find. I've tried extensively across multiple news servers, never had any luck. I'm still trying to find a crack for Bejeweled because the wait time between games is over 100 seconds now.

    I should've never showed my wife bejeweled. What the hell was I thinking?

    Ther're? You mean They're, or THEY ARE, not Ther're. Ther're isn't even a word, dumbass. I should've used there, I know, but in my defense at least their is an actual word, unlike "Ther're".
