Don't expect it to even come close to issues important to us nerds.
No! A television show, produced by a media company, won't cover the issues important to us, which are mostly the violations of the public by media companies?
Ah slashdot. Where in the face of time travel, FTL travel, aliens, antigravity, intertial dampners, teleportation and Q, people are worried about how realistic the cell phones are.
A reasonably well-thought-out post. But where does it have anything to do with the US emposing their laws on our citizens, while on our soil? This sort of garbage shouldn't stand, and dubya really should try _not_ to piss off one of his few international supporters.
...the Liberal party is the same as the Republicans, the Progressive Conservative party is also the same as the Republicans, while the New Democratic Party is quite left of the Democrats in the US
So basically they're all the same, the difference being to which corporations they've sold out?
Ppppht I wish... but apart from the fact I'd never _ever_ pass for a gay guy (too fat to be a twink, not hairy enough to be a bear), I just love boobs too much...
No, supply and demand says there can't be a never-ending supply of sex, because your average man is _way_ hornier than your average woman, and we're less likely to be turned off the course once we've decided we'd like a root. It's a genetic thing, which doesn't really need explaining here. To (over) simplify, the women control the supply of sex, and it's a seller's market.
No encryption was circumvented, so no DMCA violation--its all fair use. Except for the fact that fair use more or less only exists in the US. Australia and GB at least have no such thing, and ripping the songs you own is still copyright infringement, unless the record company is too lazy to print a local label and it still contains the text saying you can make "one archival copy" that is/was on US media.
Any professors of sociology out there wanna lock me in a wood cabin with a truckload of beer and 20 chatty co-eds? You know, I've been meaning to give some back to science, and I think this is my calling.
ever remember those "most switching benchmarks"? that was a benchmark to see how well your CPU could switch between the 16-bit and 32-bit instruction sets.
Huh? There aren't two instruction sets in x86, only real mode (and v86) and protected mode, and all windows programs since 3.0 are protected mode programs. The only difference apart from the "segment" sizes is the default register size. In one mode, the code for "mov ax,3" updates the lower 16 bits only, in another mode it will update eax, and it's simply a bit in the cs shadow (iirc), and doesn't take any longer to load one with the 32bit flag than one with the 16 bit flag, and you definitely need to reload cs every task switch regardless.
Indeed... Here's a tip for you USians: When visiting England or Australia, and you're at the pub smashing into a few Boddingtons or XXXXs (beer, not condoms), and you feel like going to throw up - never tell your mates that you're "gonna go have a toss" coz they'll all die of laughter.
Don't you guys do the final flip? Here in.au you flip the coin in the air, catch it, then slap it on the back of your other hand, turning it over in the process... Unless of course it's the cricket, in which case it's too important, and you simply let it fall on the pitch.
That's just tops for you, mate. But I like randomly clicking links sometimes (like/. sigs), and often I come across something interesting or worth reading... Just you think it's boring, doesn't mean I will, or Joe from down the street. And usually, if somebody posts something online, it's because they know somebody who would be interested in reading it...
Here in.au, if the road is marked as above 80km/h (roads that would me marked 50mph in the US), then you can't drive in the right-hand lane unless you're overtaking people, regardless of your speed. Problem solved, so long as it's enforced. Although every now and then you do get dickheads holding up traffic, it's not common on double lane roads. Now if only the entire brisbane->melbourne route were double lanes...

Am I the only one wanting to run around the room yelling "linux libraries" just to make baby stallman cry?

Hey, some of us hope those two terrorists rot in cuba. But you know, that doesn't sell newspapers now, does it?

Cat: I think in all probability Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman who ever lived.
Lister: That's good I thought I was going trange.
Cat: She's incredible
Lister: What d'ya think of Betty?
Cat: Betty Rubble?
Lister: (Nods agreeing)
Cat: I'd go with Betty but I'd be thinking of Wilma
Lister: This is crazy why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
Cat: Your right we're nuts this is an insane conversation!
Lister: She'll never leave Fred and we know it!

True, Linux!=tastyFruit.... but you do know that Linux.equals(tastyFruit), right?
Hmmm, a 5 year old game that runs much smoother than a soon-to-be-released game... Fancy that. I hear that wolf3d gets even better framerates!
Homer: If you don't start making more sense, we're going to have to put you in a home.
Grampa: You already put me in a home.
Homer: Then we'll put you in the crooked home we saw on Sixty Minutes!
Grampa: I'll be good!

Erm, that doesn't mean camera phones are cool, it just means you need to change your insurer.

Sir I bow humbly before you. I thought I was the only one in the world who remembered runaway :)
Because he's a sure winner... Any self-respecting woman who watches porn:
:-)
a) would recognise him as a rich bastard
b) knows he's got a big dick and
c) he knows how to use it.
And you know, maybe some women just like ugly fat guys.... I hope so, anyway, or I'm up the creek.

No, but I'm suggesting you read the grnadfather post again a little more slowly.

Well theoretically yes, but the matches would be _so_ perfect, as to eliminate the thrill of romantic conquest! Nyer-Hey!
