Get yourself a digital signature so you can sign all your emails so people will know when email from you is faked or not. And then educate your social network to do the same so you know when to trust their emails. In about seven steps the whole world will be safer.
The developer maybe, but that might not be the final developer. As a (former) coder on a MUD with an internal TCL scripting language, I was most of the time happily surprised to see what the people who build areas in the MUD came up with. A lot of that made me go "I never would have come up with it", but still I'm the one who made the original code which made this possible.
So possibilities don't end where you fantasy ends, it ends where the combined fantasy of others end. And that is often much further and in a way different direction that you can come up with.
Two years ago the online radio stations I normally listen to (Dutch Radio 1 and Australian ABC Radio National / News Radio) went off-line during the Olympics because the news reports on it contained news and snippets of the Olypmic games and weren't allowed to be broadcasted outside the country itself and thus were turned off.
This year, Olympic games again and I'm still listening to the three stations mentioned earlier. Is this a change of policy of the Olympic council or doesn't it matter too much for the winter olYmpics? Anybody with any insight in this?
Sexual: Sexual phrases which were not homosexual. Fuck was not included in this unless it was directed at a person i.e. your mom.
I'm always both scared and rolling on the floor laughing when two americans try to insult each other and they have reached the "your mom" phase of the fight. Laughing because the 'insults' are so bad, scared because of how upset the other side gets about it.
Cultural behaviour, always good for a laugh. Now when does Jerry Springer start again?:-P
So a movie comes along that the MPAA doesn't like and suddenly all their gripes about destroying the industry with copyright violations doesn't matter?
Unfortunately the movies I don't like (e.g. 95% of the blockbusters) aren't worth the downloading and watching, so I can't use this argument:-)
2.5mph should of course be 2.5m/s, which explains why it was in mph (which is clearly miles per hour) and not m/s (which can be interpreted as either miles per second or meters per second)
The prohibitions of publishing a suspect's last name is getting a somewhat pointless.
It might be pointless, but with the vulturing going around in the news media to publish as much details as possible before a judge has ruled, I prefer the good old John D. without any pictures (or pictures with a black bar over the eyes) than the full name, address, date of birth, current-outfit and colour photos printed on the frontpage with in large font above it "How could this man do...".
the Nissan URGE concept car allows drivers (while parked) to play 'Project Gotham Racing 3'
Based on my own experiences and stories I read here of people playing games too long, this can be very dangerous for people who just stopped parking...
For reference, the latest list of non-signatories that I could find is: Afghanistan, Bhutan, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Nepal, Oman, San Marino, Tonga and Yemen.
Part of the reason for that is the fact that I no longer have to think about using Vi-style keybindings, and adjusting to anything else would seriously hinder my productivity.
Each time I login into a Linux box and have to edit a file, I end up with a multi colour screen in which it's hard to find anything and when I have to change a word ([^ ]+) up to the next space, my screen ends up full of yellow blocks.
Wonder if the person who modded this as a troll has ever seen the idiot scenes of Santa CLauses running around in heavy red costumes, with a full white beard and hat included, while everybody else is trying to move and to wear as least as possible because of the heat.

On recent installations of FreeBSD, the sendmail daemon only listens on the localhost, so no remote access to it.
he said that it had been "appraised" at up to $20,000.
Appraising something is the same as saying "what the fool would give for it".
The church I attend has the same name, but is located in another state.
There *is* some logic about the ca.us and or.us and other state.us domain names. Throwing everything in one basket is not good planning.

An Election is due in a year so let the voters decide.
Gollem is going for a fourth term. And guess what, it will be on the voters request...

Too true. Declaration of variables, and local variables in blocks, is what keeps preventing me from making stupid mistakes in Perl.

It will orbit the moon at fifty kilometers and image the entire surface at high resolution.
I see a business opportunity for Google coming up!

Coincidence? I think not.
It only shows where the DDC originated (i.e. western european and other english speaking countries).

Oh, got it. Must be a "mile". Divide by 3600 (seconds in an hour), not by 360 (decaseconds in an hour :-)
25 mi/s.
Euhm... what is a "mi" ?
This will increase the probe's speed away from the Sun by nearly 4km/s (9,000mph), allowing the spacecraft to reach the ninth planet by July 2015.
:-)
Wonder why they changed it to per hour instead of per second. Must be a "2.5mph feels too slow" thing
