Am I the only one who finds Godwin's law silly? Just because someone mentions Hitler or nazi's in no way negates an argument so long as it is sound in every other respect. I've found that Godwin's law is usually invoked when one cannot find a way to argue his(or her) side any further. Thus instead of admiting defeat or at least stalemate some one shouts "I invoke godwin's law, so I win. By the way, my daddy can kick your daddy's butt."
A better law would be something like when either party posts more than once in all caps all constructive arguments have ended.
Make Rosie O'Donnell sit on the spammers face. Between the crushing weight and the aweful smell it should kill them. Well that or it will turn them into a Dr. Phil clone.
If that doesn't work we can tie some spam to them and make them run naked through ethiopia.
My kid sister had this caterpiller toy that had buttons that would say the number, letter, or phonetic sound that was associated with the button. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out that if I hit the phonetic f key and the phonetic q key it would go fa que. Needless to say my kid sister thought this was hilarious, not because she knew what it said, but just to see every one elses reaction. I don't think my parents every replaced the battery in that thing....
You might want to do some research on ADHD, alot of very prominent Dr's and Psychologists think it's a bunch of crap. I don't think it's total crap but I think it's way over diagnosed. "Wow you've got a lot of energy, want some drugs to take care of that?"
Hmm, if you can't get used to dialing on a diffrent key config what makes you think you could get used to using all the new features that this phone comes with?
Hate to tell you, but Atlanta is a major US city. It has one of the fastest growing populations of any US city, hosted the 1996 Olympic Games, and is home to busiest airport in the WORLD, Hartsfield International.
http://emperorlinux.com You can either buy one of there pre-configured laptops with linux (no you don't have to pay for the windows license, unless you want to dual boot with windows) or you can buy a laptop and they will install linux for you. I've never purchased anything from them, but I've considered it (decided to buy off of e-bay and install bsd myself), but the e-mails I sent to them with questions about their products were promptly replied to, and with good, tech-info rich answers, not some sales weasle-ease.
That would totally suck. On the other hand you could dress up for halloween as the simpsons character "RadioActiveMan", and have a neat story to go along with it. Of course I don't think it would score you any chicks.
Perhaps my logic is flawed, but if an underage person (18 in some states, 21 in others) receives adult Spam, isn't the person who sent it guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and perhaps several other laws? Does anyone know if this guy sends porn Spam (I must admit that I haven't followed this story that closely). If so, there is NO way he hasn't sent at least some adult Spam to someone underage.
I think Genndy Tartakovsky has done a wonderful job with the cartoons he has on Cartoon Network. I mean you can not like the plot lines of Dexter or the Power Puff girls, but you have to admit they are defiantly in the top ten of American cartoons in the past 5 years (I'm not counting movies here). And Samurai Jack is amazing. Granted the style is not realistic, but the animation is really top notch, and the stories are very detailed and well thought out. I haven't seen very many that I thought took the road of "well this is for kids so we can make it dumb." I think Tartakovsky will do an excellent job with this endeavor.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the anime CN shows on Adult Swim. I am a big fan of Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star, but I like the Endless Waltz era Gundam better than the 0080 era. As far as I am concerned, as long as we get new episodes of SeaLab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Brak Show, and Space Ghost I'll be happy; there the resons I started watching Adult Swim in the first place.
Unfortunatly, I don't think anonymity will last on the internet simply because of some of the things that are not considered private information under the 4th admendment nor held under the right to remain silent. Mainly I am speaking of the right of companies and schools to use drug tests against a subject. I can see the reasoning for a truck driver or a pilot or someone in any line of work that could put another in harms way to be tested for hallucinogens since these can affect a user long after they are taken. But to be tested for marijuana, opiates, or cocaine is unresonable. First it does not prove that the user will ever be under the influecnce of these drugs while at work or in school. Second, how in the world is this not considered having to submit evidence against yourself? I have the right to say I'm going to remain silent but I do not have the right to say "No, you can't stick me with that needle, draw my blood, and use it to convict me of a crime or deny me a job." They can't ASK you those questions without you being able to plede the 5th. Perhaps the wisdom of this is just lost on me. The other situation is forcing drunk drivers to submit to a breathalizer test. I am not sure of the laws in the rest of the country or world, but in Georgia, if you refuse a breathilizer your drivers license is automatically suspended. I definatly think we need to keep drunks off of the road (and in the bars where they belong:) ) but I think this goes about it all wrong.
I had a sweet connection through road runner here in Atlanta, I moved LITERALLY across the street, and boom, no broadband. I called about it and they said that they had no current plans to provide broadband around that location. WTF? Now I live ~10 miles outside of Atlanta and I'm 33000 feet from my CO so all I can get is iDSL at 128k. No broadband cable here either. So what is my solution? I leech a sweet connection from work to do my pir... oh wait I don't pirate, no sir not me....
Hostpro, now Interland has this sort of thing for freeBSD. It used to be called vserver. The new improved version is called Freedom. It's been out for years.
You know, after the first 10,000 people posted saying the iPOD was 5 gigs and not 10 you figured everyone would have gotten the point. Geeze the poor guy who posted that probably has killed himself over it by now.
Slashdot Mirror
I wonder if he's paid the $699 fee?
And Henry Ford was a Nazi supporter/sympathizer and IBM sold germany quite a large amount of business equipment. Whats your fucking point?
A young girl like you shouldn't touch it with her bare hands!

Man, Nokia phonez are da bomb!
I will however refrain from "someone set us up the bomb" comments.

I for one can't wait for Matrix pr0n....
Should this post have the foot, "laugh, it's funny" icon? Or perhaps we need a new one, a pointing hand for "point and laugh, their stupid".

Damn it!!! No Atlanta theathers are showing this. Oh well, guess this gives me a good excuse to visit my friends in DC.

Because everyone knows that some warez group will have it out soon after. All the 5cr|p7 ||dd|35 will be like "|-|311z `/34!! /\/0 m0r3 B.0."
Um it is prole, but you've mis-identified the word protaganist. Protaganist means the main character or hero of a drama.
First Post BITCH!!!
