Yeah but as a straight person, I'm guessing that (like me) you think of your sexual orientation as only affecting or involving your sexuality and sexual relationships. Being gay isn't really only about sex- that's only one part of the whole phenotype. You'd also have a bunch of other nonsexual interests that straight people are less likely to share (Barbara Streisand, Subarus, show tunes, etc.) And you'd probably think of your gayness in those larger terms. Hence you see gay people advertising themselves as such, to the befuddlement of straights who see it as purely a narrow statement about one's sexuality. It's more like admitting you're French.
LinkedIn is great because Kevin Bacon is on it and you can see how many degrees removed from him you are. He has "500+ connections" on LinkedIn. I'm only 3 degrees away myself and I'm not even in the entertainment industry.
Future archaeologists are going to be confused when they find all these dinosaurs buried in Hollywood. I predict that museums by then will have huge wax models of Will Smith riding a triceratops.
so your application stopped working after you fucked with the dll's, and it's microsoft's fault?
It should in principle be possible to modify a DLL and have it still work if you know what you're doing. This appears to be a situation where they've ensured no change can be made to a library because it will alter a checksum.
Satellites have an additional height dimension to explore while ships are mostly confined to the 2D surface of the ocean, but satellites move much faster than submarines and get more chances to hit each other.
They do, in exactly the same sense that the taxpayers own Navy destroyers, which is to say, collectively, with no individualized control.
Bullshit. I work for a company with ~100 employees that does meta-analysis across hundreds of studies available on NIH and processes the results using different methodologies. We've uncovered some stuff ourselves and submitted papers to NIH.
Half this stuff comes from government labs anyway. And we pay our taxes. This stupid law will put us right out of business.
The difference was that we KNEW where McCain stood.
Dude, were you reading the news during the presidential campaign at all? I honestly couldn't figure out where McCain stood because he'd change his position 180 degrees several times a week. It wasn't that he was being dishonest, or disingenuous or anything like that... he honestly had no clue.
Incidentally, the Texans I know no longer believe Barrack Obama is a Muslim, solely on the basis that he used his left hand to sign his inauguration papers.
But doesn't that make him Satanic? I don't get it.
My jaw dropped when I saw this article. I lived on Sampsonia Drive nine years ago, which is incredible, because it's one of the shortest little streets in Pittsburgh.
I'm amazed that there is a custom Slashdot spelling even for such a tiny little one-way street in Pittsburgh. You remove the "p" from the middle. What do you put it? I guess you can just stick it behind a colon, like this:P
My girlfriend and I were paying a rent of $400/month to live on this street. It's in a really poor part of the North Side of Pittsburgh. We were the only white people in the neighborhood I think, but even though we stuck out a little, this was the nicest neighborhood I ever lived in. Everyone was really pleasant; it's a fun little place. I'm totally not surprised that they would arrange something like this there. Plus, $400. That was sweet even back then.
Here are some 8-9 year old pictures of it: A pretty sunset where you unfortunately can't really see anything... Facing eastward with my 86 T-Bird in the foreground Facing westward Facing eastward again.
And BTW this wasn't the first time I've looked at the Google Maps street view on Sampsonia. These people weren't there last time.
Hate to break this to you, but TDCJ is state jail and prison (two separate entities, only handles felons). Entirely separate from Houston City courts (which only handle class C misdemeanor sentences and traffic ticket fines - no one stays in City Jail longer than a week) or Harris County Jail (up to 18 months, IIRC, and still a separate entity).
Just write and spread malware that targets computers at the Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice (along with everyone else's computers) on a date that's at some point into your sentence. Put code in the payload that searches for prison doors to open, in case we are infecting some controller they might be using. A long time ago before computers you had to tie four horses to the walls and bars of the jail and just try to pull the place apart without the ceiling collapsing on your friends' heads.
Don't worry; his record isn't disappearing anytime soon. There are no media compatibility issues with gravestones and they offer excellent document retention.
Their culprit would turn out to be a pimple-faced highschool kid dialing in with his VIC-Modem and Commodore 64, and then he'd maybe even get a drudging job offer. Nowadays the job offer part comes first.

Here's a section from their page on Barack Hussein Obama (redirected from Barack Obama)
Doctors from the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons have stated that Obama uses techniques of mind control in his speeches and campaign symbols. For example, one speech declared, "a light will shine down from somewhere, it will light upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will say to yourself, 'I have to vote for Barack.'"[26]
Oh my God, this is terrible! Our president is using techniques of mind control on us! What does Wikipedia have on this subject? Not a thing. Because a light shone down on YOU, YOU experienced an epiphany, and YOU said to yourself, 'I have to censor Barack's Wikipedia page.'
Obama may be the first Muslim President The argument that Obama is a Muslim is largely based on his Islamic background. It also includes:
Obama's background, education, and outlook are Muslim, and fewer than 1% of Muslims convert to Christianity.[28][29]
(more bullet points)
Contrary to Christianity, the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya encourages adherents to deny they are Muslim if it advances the cause of Islam.
Obama uses the Muslim Pakistani pronunciation for "Pakistan" rather than the common American one.
(still more bullet points)
Obama has chosen the Secret Service code name "Renegade". "Renegade" conventionally describes someone who goes against normal conventions of behavior, but its first usage was to describe someone who has turned from their religion. It is a word derived from the Spanish renegado, meaning "Christian turned Muslim."[42]
Obama enjoyed a bigger increase in voter support in 2008 (compared to 2004) by Muslims than by any other voting group, including blacks;[43] "Muslim turnout in the U.S. elections reached 95 percent, the highest Muslim turnout in U.S. history."[44]>
"President-elect Barack Obama has yet to attend [Sunday or Christmas] church services since winning the White House..., a departure from the example of his two immediate predecessors."[45]
Many atheists claim that Obama is one of them, yet he displays none of the characteristics common to atheism: Obama has not expressed offense at prayer by others, he has not promoted the theory of evolution, and he has never expressed a disdain for religious belief.
Bet you didn't know he was a Muslim. But it isn't all about religion. They also get into flag pins.
Obama wore an American flag lapel pin after 9/11, but later stopped wearing it without adequate explanation.[58] Presumably it would have hurt him with anti-military campaign donors.In 2007, at critical moments in his campaign for the nomination, Obama had difficulties securing the support of anti-war activists.

And to think we could have written a small shell script eight years ago to take care of his other job.
Only a matter of time until they find an actual frozen supernova in the ice.

You misspelled "civilization".

It wouldn't be "only nature" if the rock looks like the Virgin Mary. Hopefully it does, so we can see pictures of it on Ebay.

I'm sure I could do it if I really applied myself and the water weren't so salty.
