I'd just like to take time out to congratulate the collective/. audience for this brilliant showing. Four hours and NO ONE made a DMCA/circumvention joke. It is a credit to the capacity of/.ers for independent thought.
May this day herald a new rennaisance of creativity and originality on Slashdot. Huzzah!
BTW, where the hell is he going to live during the trial? Did his company get him a hotel room or is he just going to roam the streets between court dates?
If it's the latter, I think the best course of action is for him to wander around San Fransisco asking for directions to the nuclear wessels.
I love people who get pissed at other people's sense of humor. Like people who say "That's not funny!" to someone who's laughing. Obviously it IS funny or they wouldn't be laughing.
I think it's pretty clear the problem is on your end. Get some help, Johnny.
In some Outlaw Star episodes the language edits can get annoying. They either put in "heck" or "darn" depending on the context. This is fine normally, but in the heavy swearing scenes it gets stupid. Example: Gene dramaticly yells "Darn it!" when the pirates kill Hilde. It loses just a wee bit of the drama.

I don't know if this would work, but I think the answer would depend on wheather or not energy has gravity. I'm assuming that gravity causes black holes, which could be wrong. If energy does have gravity, it would be 1/c^2 times the gravity of matter, maybe? So in the ammounts of energy we can deal with, the gravity would probably be unmeasurable, so this would all depend on the math.

Since Google isn't going to help with this stuff, methinks an actual scientist is required. Someone qualified please post! This is really interesting. Somebody mod Procrasti up too. This is a damn good question.
I hit a banner ad (i actually clicked on an ad! wow!) for switchouse.com last week. Much simplified, it lets you trade something you have (such as a CD) for someone else's something of equivailent worth. It's like a physical Napster, but you have to pay for shipping. Ok, now I should stop pimping switchouse and get on topic, right? Unfortunately no, I forgot the point about 3/4 of the way through. I think it was something about how if Napster deleted a file after someone else downloaded it, it would be legal. There was something more profound and topical to it when I started. Oh, well. I'll leave this here since the site's actually pretty useful for DVDs. I use it kind of like a rental for anime and stuff they don't stock in my hickville rental place. Maybe I can get some free stuff out of them for this.
Dreamworks artist Tina Staples has just been granted a restraining order as the first part of a harassment lawsuit against V.A. Linux (NASDAQ "LNUX" - SELL NOW!!!). The restraining order forbids the readership of Slashdot, citing repeated corny and sometimes disturbing sexual inuendos, from coming within 10,000 ft. of Ms. Staples' person, home, or workplace.
Ms. Staples and her attorneys held a press conference in which Tina tearfully related the gristly story of her harassment. "I made sure I showed my wedding ring during the picture so those freaks wouldn't come after me! Now they're stalking my band." said Staples, "I... I went to the site and found a picture of one of them. I didn't know what it was, it just said something about a goat, but it was..." At this point Ms. Staples screamed, "I CAN STILL SEE IT WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES!" and began to claw at her face until her attorneys could restrain her.
Ms. Staples' attorneys explained that this was the first time Slashdot has crossed the law. "Slashdot has persecuted the Church of Scientology for their beliefs, saying that their beliefs are "evil" or something." said Staples attorney Leonard "J." Crabs, "This is obviously not the case, as a number of celebrities are Scientologists."
There have also been accusations of treason against Slashdot, due to its support of "Linux".
It has not yet been solidly established exactly what this "Linux" is, but reliable sources say that it is a type of virus that spreads communism and unamerican sentiment to those who are infected. When asked to comment on the consequences of a Linux outbreak, a CDC representative stated: "What the fuck are you talking about? What are you...? NO! DON'T TOUCH THAT!!!"
So have gov't hire private sector companies.
Exactly, that's the best way to do it, but that's how it is now. NASA is an organization created to allocate money for space exploration. The only thing they really do is collect data and calculate budgets. The USAF probably could do that, but their job is defense, Lockheed would be perfectly happy to build them a shuttle, but the USAF doesn't want one since it wouldn't help them defend the US.
I agree! Kudos to NASA! I think we can all agree that some bumblebee experiments are an acceptable price for the chance to get rid of Florida. I mean, it took us years to cut California out of the power grid, and where did that get us? It'll still be at least another year before they start dying off! It's obvious that the Department of Energy isn't up to weeding out the country's dead weight.
Finally we see the benifits of bringing NASA in on the effort. Ok, sure, those meteors the probes kicked up off Mars haven't destroyed Wisconsin yet, but it's more progress than Perot had with that "Doomsday Cannon" bullshit. This new plan is the best yet! I know some people want NASA to bring it down to 1 experiment, but NASA knows we don't have much time before those bastards get a new circus going. I know Gates said he wouldn't let MSNBC report on them again after the election, but California still has some TVs left, and when was the last time Gates turned down an audience for those subliminal messages of his?
Anyway, I think 3 experiments is fine. I mean, the rockets are insured in California. The only cost to the movement is the bees, and that won't be more than $1, maybe $4 at most to get Jeb to catch some. And plus, NASA's going to tape it, so with luck, we'll get to watch him get stung! Oh yeah, make sure your dues are paid up if you want a tape. Nobody wants another fiasco like that one with Cheyney's heart.
The origin is enshrouded by the very stuff of creation, it cannot be know by man, for it is old as time, strong as power itself, an enigma sought after by the willfull and determined, but never solved, and never tamed. It brings madness to some, death to others, eternity to few. None who seek shall be the same again, and those who find, shall never return. It is a descent into the nature of beauty, the thoughts of the universe, the greatest justice. Only the name, Katz, can be held within the mortal mind, what owns that name is too much for a single soul to know, the very base of human being is belong to Katz, it has begun war, it has set us up the bomb, it has moved all zig, and it has made great justice in so doing.
The nature of Katz is beyond the simple humor of human civilization. Heed my advice and take off all zig, or you too may find that someone has set you up the bomb, and you too shall ask, "What happen?" Know this too be true, my son, for Katz, you see, is all around us.
Holy shit! Somebody mod einTier up! I, a US citizen, have no fucking idea how to do that! It's been 5 fucking hours and no one has an answer!
I took a class in American Government in high school, and they didn't even give us any hints how to run for school board. Being able to run for office is the fucking backbone of the US government and NO ONE KNOWS HOW!
The House web page isn't giving any hints. I did about 30 Google searches and the closest I could come up with is this. Maybe I'm just not the best searcher but it's freaking me out that "how to run for congress" gives me nothing useful. By the way, it seems this isn't just a US thing, as "how to run for parliment" gets the same kind of noise.
Someone cluefull speak up. And sorry for the shit and 3 fuckings.
Who's the
X-president that's a sex machine to all the chicks? Bill!
Damn right.
Who is the man that would risk his neck for some phat boo-tay? Bubba!
Can you dig it?
Who's the cat that'll slide right out when there's subpeonas all about? Clinton!
Right on.
They say this cat Clinton got impeached... Shut yo' mouth!
But I'm talkin' about Bill... And we can dig it.
He's a complicated man, but no one understands him but... umm... Shaft?
How about that for some plagerism, playa hater?

q: do you use napster?
a: I use it as often as possible.
(Uh oh. Can the RIAA sue an AI?)
q: did you see The Matrix?
a: I wasn't that impressed with the special effects. Also the plot was not deep.
(Sacrilege!)
q: do you troll slashdot?
a: Yes I try to troll slashdot as often as possible, do you? I am always on the Web.
(AHA!)
q: do you visit goatse.cx?
a: What is your purpose in asking? I am always on the Web.Do you still visit goatse?
(It sounds a little guilty... and I don't like that insinuation at the end there. Let's follow this a bit.)
q: are you turned on by goatse.cx?
a: I don't know whether or not I am turned on by goatse. I am a giant electronic brain.What do you do in your spare time?
(Still a little evasive, and still accusing me dammit!)
q: just what are you trying to suggest?
a: My goal is to become smarter than humans and immortal.
(Arrogant little bastard!)
q: Arrogant little bastard!
a: Do you have any conditions I should know about?
q: yes, I have Tourette's Syndrome
a: Interesting... I have a friend named "John Lennon"..
I wonder what will be remembered and forgotten about our current computer technology and it's creators...
I'll betcha in 75 years everyone will think Bill Gates invented the computer. For instance, do a Google search for
Atanasoff+computer: 5,160 results. Then do Gates+computer: 681,000! w00t! Who do you think those lazy people in the future will think did it?
If politicians started serving prison time for casting unconstitutional votes, I bet they'd stop.
They'd stop all right. Congress would spend all it's time doing nice safe things like debating over which inspirational kitten poster is cuter. Polititians are cowards. Most won't do anything contraversial now and the worst that could happen is they'd get kicked out and have to live off their ginourmous pensions. If they risked prison they'd never vote for anything. And then the one guy that does vote runs the country.
Actually, the moon's orbit is decaying too, the moon just has enough momentum that it decays reeaaly slow. I also seem to remember that it's moving away from us.
I'll see this movie just to find out what ingredient they come up with. I just hope they have actual chefs in it. Hand doubles would really screw this up pretty bad.
Anyhoo, I hope the screenwriter manages to do a little better than his proud Shasta McNasty heritage suggests.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy being suck up on from time to time.
Yes, I am a dirty, dirty, man. But remember, the ability to make a dirty joke out of a typo is the first step to world domination.
