A Plan to use Action Describing or Implicating Words in the spoken or written language as a persuasive tool to sell goods and or services.
Our method of Action Describing or Implicating Words (trade name: "Verbs") increases rates of sales by allowing the licensee of the method to fully describe anything, be it an object or an action. This also allows for more persuasive sales pitches! These "Verbs" are the most important part of our method, and should be considered our Intellectual Property. Being that our sales plan relies on this Intellectual Property, all uses not licensed by we, the inventors, are prohibited. Prosecutors will be Violated:)
Yes. It's a patent on verbs.

why would you be trying to wrestle a domain name away from a band? sounds like you're the knuckledragger. back off.
the point is, i have a friend who lives in japan, and he comes home about once a year, and you should see the shit that he brings back! he has this cellphone, it's smaller than the motorola startac, does email, and doesn't cost a thing to recieve calls (that's the way they seem to do it over there, only charging for outgoing). kanji usually isn't a problem with electronics, and alot of times, they'll actually use english, as it's alot easier to read on cheap consumer electronic screens. sometimes, alot of times even, if they use katakana, the syllables will sound out english words (so the word "start" would be written "St-ar-tu") and, all of his japanese electronic toys work on american power because the difference doesn't seem to effect them, or they have autoswitching (i'm betting on not too much of a difference) he brought home a japanese drum machine (we both are into doing electronic music) and the whole thing was in english.
i don't think that TuxRacer for windows will have quite the desired effect.
maybe it's just me. What they should do is have a real small linux kernel hidden in the binary and if you beat the game, it loads it into memory. If you lose, well, you get windows.
while this is a neat idea and all, does this really have any true value of application? I guess what I'm asking is, what are most people going to get out of this, besides a huge kernel and a sudden hunger for RAM? Is this supposed to be for people that want to code for X86-64 to get a head start? If so, is it really wise to base coding for a 64 bit chip on what happens in a 64 bit simulator on a 32 bit processor?
i'm going to be running a client in the channel tonight to log the whole thing, and i'll post it for everybody else after it's done.
my nick will be gtx (with moo_cow as an alternate nick), so if you notice i'm not doing anything, I'M LOGGING THE CHANNEL FOR THOSE OF US WHO CANT BE THERE. Please don't kick me. email me at loondoogy@hotmail.com if you want a copy, i'l try to post them publicly on the WWW tomorrow.

lets make a "the end is near" type website wish spouts fear-instilling messages about how the space fungus is going to kill us all and eat our beloved cars.
we will also personally welcome the space fungus to planet earth, and offer to help them in their conquest needs.
i think it would be funny, especially if it looked real professional.
i'd even be willing to help with design and implementation.
doesn't quite have the staying power though. i want something i can watch day in, day out. maybe if it was a seperate poll, or even a karma pool, where you bet karma on a daily basis on who's closest to his actual karma at the end of the day. the winner(s) split up the karma pool.
as long as singal 11, and his impressive karma, keep coming up in conversation, i would like to suggest that taco makes an option to have "signal 11's karma" be one of the slash-boxes that you can choose to have on the side of the main page. i think signal 11's karma whoring would make an excellent online spectator sport.
Dear Mr. Malda,
Please be advised that your use of 'oxidation' is in direct infringement of our client, British Telecom, and their IP. This 'oxidation' infringes on patent number 623326 for our product 'Rust'. Please ceast and desist all actions involving your product 'oxidation.'
Furthermore, we also would like to request that any references to 'masturbation' be taken off of this and any other web sites, as that is the intellectual property of British Telecom.
You have 7 days to comply with this letter.
Thank you.
I want to start a company whose sole business plan is to find the inane, everyday occurances that haven't been patented yet, (for example, masturbation) and just attack all people/companies that use them. My patent is already pending for "Selective use of action-describing words in making sales. (or, using verbs)"
no matter how much campaigning mr goldstein does, no matter how true his message is, the harsh reality that we're all going to face is that it is easier for big media and corporations to see hackers as being thinly mustached villains who want nothing more than world domination. sure, we all know who's right, being that we are the hackers and we know our own intentions, but try telling that to a large corporation. they won't care.
why do i get the feeling that i'm going to, in the not so distant future, be reading about a product incorporating this material in the back of dirty magazines as the new alternative to phone sex?
sweet jesus, that's a wonderful idea...
but only if printing is cheap...
however, anyone who has purchased legos recently will know that they get more expensive by the minute! the plastic used to make them today must be rare!
YOU SHOULD SHUT DOWN YOUR SERVICE BECAUSE I SAID SO. WHILE THERE IS NO LEGAL PRECEDENT AS OF YET FOR WHY YOU SHOULD, I AM ASSUMING THERE WILL BE ONE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
sure, mine sounds silly, but it's basically the same thing that got sent out to the colleges. And is it me, or with a name like the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, the DMCA has to be a bad idea? Who came up with that name? I propose a CBCA, or Current Buzzword Copyright Act which makes all dumb uses of current buzzwords inherently illegal.
honestly, i knew that i was going to get at best
a form letter and nothing else, so i could
have said "the pope hates you, he told me" and
it wouldn't have changed anything. these people
aren't here to help. they're here to line their
wallets with cash.
btw, iloveporn@moralmajority.org is not really an email address, sadly:)
i sent them an email and actually got a reply, which is pretty pathetic and predictable. it's here for reading pleasure:

If 48% of polled children do not consider hacking to be a crime, that's because 52% haven't been properly educated. Hacking is not a crime. Luckily for the person who wrote the copy for this website, being completely clueless isn't either. Hacking is not "manipulation of or intentional damage to a Web site," as you put it. Hacking has been around since before there were any web sites to crack. It is trash like
this that gives us hackers a bad name.
Furthermore, when did downloading music files off of
the internet become illegal? As a musician, I publish
all of my work on the internet, and after doing 10GB
of traffic a day, I can tell you that most people do
not believe this to be illegal. Do you know why?
Because it isn't. And when will you people stop equating
online occurances to real world ones? Downloading
music is not in anyway related to stealing CD's from
stores. DoSing is not in any way related to blocking
a tunnel.
When you say "Cyber Ethics: Applying Old Values to
a New Medium," maybe you should step back and think
about that. Why do we retain the old values? They
have no relevance with the examples you give on your
site. It's about time we came up with new values --
(btw, values are not the same for everybody, and yours
are out-dated) new values, for new times, for a new
medium. Makes a bit of sense doesn't it?
And as long as I'm reading this atrocity, I would like
to congratulate the person who decided to scare the
world with the story of how the love bug could have
killed people. Nice. Do you people have any trouble
sleeping at night, or is that only a problem when you
have a conscience?
As a parent of two, I would love to see you post this
email in your 'Letters from Parents' section. I do
believe it would only be fair to give both sides of
this argument. However, I doubt that you will do that,
and I believe that all I have to look forward to, if
anything is a form letter, thanking me for my interest.
Do the world a favor, and let people know the truth.
Sincerely,
A parent concerned for a future stuck in the past.
And the reply:
Thank you for your comments about cybercitizenship.org.
As we indicate on the Web site, the whole area of cyber ethics is new and we
are learning more about responsible behavior online, a subject open to
discussion and modification. For this reason, the area, and the Web site,
are works in process.
Your comments are helpful and we will take a look at them as we make
modifications to the site in the near future.
i can't believe nobody replied to that! go to that site! it's horrible! simply horrible! they just defined hacking as illegal, downloading music files (of any variety, no qualifiers such as 'copyrighted' were given) as illegal and unethical, and they have an ugly mascot.:)
seriously, what are we doing to keep people like this from spreading this filth?
the real benefit to using DDR RAM is that you won't have to sell your car/kids/blood/sperm/organs in order to pay for your RDRAM habit. That's a plus if it've ever heard one. And besides, we all know that RAMBUS is "the man"
so how did you come to 2 Standard Deviations below the mean rate? just wondering. it seems as if picking a random number between 1 and 3 was probably your best bet, but if you had an actual method of deciding this, i'd love to hear it, because anyone who can judge my intelligence based on one karma-whoring post i made is truly a wise man indeed. If you've noticed, the/. community did rate that post a +5, funny. So, in my attempt to whore up all the karma i could, i succeeded with flying colors. I would imagine that one's ability to adapt thought/speech patterns in such a way to make people find their posts strikingly amusing (as many people obviously did, based on my score... what was your score again? Oh yes, 0... big goose egg, sorry for reminding you) I guess my point is that you can show anything you want to any cognitive psychologist in the world, but one simple fact will always remain true: people find vulgarity amusing. If this wasn't true, eminem wouldn't be selling records, and people wouldn't watch the HBO comedy series. In case you're dying to know, the last time i had a psychologist administered IQ test a couple years ago, it was in the 140's. I want to say 146, but I don't want to give you false information that would discredit my argument. So, I'll just stick to the facts and say "at least 140." So why don't you go tell your cognitive psychologist friend to go find a new job, because the one (s)he currently has is obviously not right for him/her. Maybe (s)he should try being a street musician, because people will give money to street musicians whether they can play or not because they pity them. That way your cognitive psycologist friend can bullshit their way through their job -- much like they do now, and not suffer negative consequences.
and now that i've got your attention, why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?

i'm going to be in class then.
a question for all of us who won't be home till after 10:00 --
any idea how long it's going to last?
lets make a "the end is near" type website wish spouts fear-instilling messages about how the space fungus is going to kill us all and eat our beloved cars.

it's nice to wake up to this kinda news
"and by the way, your race probably won't survive on this planet for another thousand years, quite possibly less"
well i sure am in a good mood now!
that's a pretty good idea too!
doesn't quite have the staying power though. i want something i can watch day in, day out. maybe if it was a seperate poll, or even a karma pool, where you bet karma on a daily basis on who's closest to his actual karma at the end of the day. the winner(s) split up the karma pool.
anyone think this is feasible?
as long as singal 11, and his impressive karma, keep coming up in conversation, i would like to suggest that taco makes an option to have "signal 11's karma" be one of the slash-boxes that you can choose to have on the side of the main page. i think signal 11's karma whoring would make an excellent online spectator sport.
if slashdot were to implement something complicated like this, it crash within a week trying to compute signal 11's karma.
with apologies
curious...
i'm waiting for the big "PSYCHE!" press release to come out of redmond.
and april 1st doesn't roll around till... april..
could it be a typo?
