I would just like to step in for a moment to remind you and the united corps of the world, that, in accordance with cats' laws, I'm asserting that ALL THIS STUFF HERE IS MINE.
"A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding..."
"Welcome, this page is dedicated to the Linux Community's greatest ambassadors, Gentoo users. Like the annoying teenager next door with a 90hp import sporting a 6 foot tall bolt-on wing, Gentoo users are proof that society is best served by roving gangs of armed vigilantes, dishing out swift, cold justice with baseball bats to those fucking ricer bastards."
"Ok, but Fox hasn't shown Futurama for quite some time, so you can no longer see Futurama for free. "
It's called "time shifting" and was ruled fair use by the US Supreme court in the Sony vs Universal Cities Studio case./snark
(Devils' advocate: see, here's a case where DRM could work to everybody's benefit. If we had a viable open DRM standard, the Futurama production company could produce new episodes, with commercials that can't be removed / skipped, and distribute them via bittorrent. Phuck Faux!)
You could just go out and buy a new Athlon 64 3800 and have completed 307 years for a p90 this afternoon!
Stuff like this makes me wonder if mathematics is going through one of those "data collection" phases that all sciences go through. Where everyone is doing all the "stamp collecting" that following generations will use in building new theories.
"Computer games in 2034 are likely to offer simulated worlds and interactive storytelling that's more engaging than linear presentations such as those in most movies today"
Even some of today's primitive games have most movies beat... (watching Hollywood eat it's young at a prodigious rate, I sometimes think "Tetris" is more complex, multifaceted and emotional storytelling.)
My wife's been driving me crazy because she ordered a powerbook and had it shipped "2 day" FedEx. It's spent more than two days in Memphis. You can not believe how annoying that is.
Slashdot Mirror
A bazillion pecune laws and selective enforcement are critical tools for a corrupt bueracracy. That's how China was ruled for centuries.
With stories like these, I don't see how slashdot can possibly justify its pyrric anti-troll pogrom.
"You are the worst cyber partner ever. This is ridiculous"
That is all.
Wow.
Hammertime!
It's fixes all the way down!"
WTF is taco doing to destroy the formatting now?!!!

Pirates hijaak your ship, abuse your crew, and steal your goods and money!

"Immantize the Gernsback continuum!"
"I can slashdot that webserver in nine posts..."
"I can slashdot that site in eight posts!"

That's phucking awsome, on many different levels!
I wish I could still post annonymously...

Longhorn is going to be the the HPC version of Windows!!! Just not in the good way...
Note: The record is only ~ 7 days. You useless slashbots should be able how to figure how to run that up pretty quick!
It's called "software keyswitch debounce". Embedded systems programmers have been doing this since there have been microprocessors.
But what if it's Lisa's weekend to choose the family activity?!!!
Are there any online references for technical details on this? Which of Fuller's books does he talk about these? Does he give much detail?
