Well if you pick a date, just let me know. I'll need to schedule some vacation time at work, and then I need to find a babysitter for the kids. I've got American Idol scheduled on the DVR, so maybe we'll have a viewing party after we're done usurping the government.
If you want to know who really made both VHS and DVD the "standard" for watching movies at home, you only need to look as far as your local adult video store.

"and you realise that they're ignoring the many thousands of Iraqis per year that Saddam Hussein killed."
Yeah, because I'm sure that was keeping you up at night...:rolleyes:
Any excuse to watch things go boom on TV...
"The Windows system is also far too massive, complex, and user unfriendly for human beings to have any hope in securing it."
Apparently there are a number of increasingly incompetent people writing articles.
Windows "user unfriendly?" WTF? I guess that's why it's the #1 OS in the world.
"Jessica, an art therapist and professional harpist, has $50,000 in student loans."
Who the hell racks up $50k in student loans to do that? Doing what you love is important, but being realistic is crucial. Too many kids are heading off to college thinking that a degree is going to make them rich no matter what.
After receiving two weeks of his anchordesk drivel, I vowed I would punch him in the face if I ever met him. Only morbid curiosity let it go for that long.
We're a fairly large community college with roughly 29,000 students a semester. The computer centers at the seven different campuses usually close at noon on Friday, leaving 30 to 40 PIII 800 machines sitting idle at each campus.
We didn't see any reason why gaming shouldn't be considered an intramural activity. The idea of campus vs. campus competitions really excited everyone. If support and interest grew, we'd be willing to challenge other colleges (your college sucks).
We've got one beefy server sitting at each campus, more than enough horsepower to host a large game. Our WAN is on fiber, with 100mb internal, which should provide some pretty good pings all around.
We haven't met any resistance with the concept and everyone thinks it's a great idea. Licensing is the difficult part. While educational discounts are available for most productivity software, games are a different story. I don't think Quake III or Medal of Honor go that way. Things are pretty tight all over and the budget isn't looking good. Money is the only thing holding us back at the moment.
Um...Actually no. The Internet was designed for educational purposes. Once these cockbiters realize that the net is not the treasure chest of advertising and marketing glory they thought it was, we'll be a lot better off. If I want a fucking shovel, I go to shovel.com (probably a pr0n site).
"I just upgraded my chip to the super XP111 and updated the rom with luvgrl69's modded version I got in the chatroom, I kick ass" "Watch me take this corner man!"
"We were/.'ted. This tiny machine, i486DX4/100, handled load well. There are way too many hits for this page from all over the world -- machine isn't ready for this load but I'm surprized how well this simple machine can perform! Ok. But this means that this my honeypot isn't hidden anymore... And I was unaware of/. post, I only noticied greatly increased hit ratio."
I thought/. informed users that they were about to be hit...? God bless the poor little guy and its ISA nic.
Rather than reading through all 10 million lines of code, wouldn't it make more sense for MS to hand over the applicable references? Nobody is going to go through every line of code, that's just ridiculous (and technically unfeasible for the states).
Shouldn't a handful of the code be sufficient for the states, unless MS has something to hide?

Los Alamos called, they have some news from 1945 they'd like to share.

Gamevoice does not require a messenger or passport account. Just exit the installer when it gets to that part.
to pop Pump Up The Volume in the DVD player and start dreaming of my very own pirate radio station.
Yarr!
I'd love to shoot people with Greek food.

Of course...
"In other news, Microsoft announced it will be raising the price of Office XP approximately 26.7 percent in the US."
Looks like this guy must be on to something...
I work for a collge.
I get two weeks paid vacation in December, another week for spring break...
No complaints here.
Anyone know if they will try to save this thing?
If not, how long will it maintain this orbit before reentry?
If there will be a reentry, I wonder how long before the trajectory projections are made...
Just skimming over and noticed this one line:

He had the bomb the entire time...
No, I didn't realize that.

"Hey Jesse, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!"
I can only hope this guy gets the axe. Then again, I giggle at the thought of his Duke Nukem Forever review.

I'm guessing this is paybacks for all of those April fools submissions they've been wading through for the past 12 hours or so...
