Still, there's a lot of hate for the cameras in many areas. I've heard that they're going to place second cameras to catch the vandals who're taking out the speed cameras in Ireland. Or was it Scotland? My solution to that - Wear a mask.
Everybody knows that law enforcement can find you based on a single crappy analog recording of your back by extrapolating the reflection of your shoelaces in the window reflection behind you and tracing it back to a single batch sold at some obscure shop with an easily harassed salesman, don't you watch shows like CSI?
1 - achieve world peace. 2 - eliminate starvation. 3 - get all world governments to agree on more than 20 things and be happy about it. 4 - get all world governments to cooperated with each other fully. 5 - find solution to the flying pig epidemic. 6 - solve problem of the earcths core just froze over. 7 - build space ark.
Tbqh I think the more logical progression would be to replace to replace steps 1 through 4 by: 1 - replace world governments by world government 2 - pray like hell it's not the US of A.
What really makes the US fucked up is the number of ignorant, brainwashed americans that blindly believe (not to mention spew up that crap for all to hear) that they live in the greatest country on earth.
Not to mention that this very sentiment is what causes a lot of non-americans to say: "you know what? since you guys think you're the greatest anyway, just go right on fucking things up, we'll be right here watching".

I would, but I'm reading this thread while waiting for today's extended downtime to be over...thanks so much for actually pointing that out to me:P
Funny, there I was, always thinking that the main aspect which is missing in the movie was the basic idea that only people who served the public (_not_ only in the military, but nurses, sewage workers, the lot, also. He stated himself in Expanded Universe that it was his single largest error to not make that point more clear) should be allowed to serve in public office..;)
Hmm, what I considered even more important was that some sort of public service was required to be eligible to vote. One first had to demonstrate the ability to give of oneself, to give a damn, before being allowed to elect those running for said public office.
Europeans could stop taking 6 weeks of vacation and work a little more to get bigger houses, you know. Maybe it doesn't have to do with evolution, but rather their 'preferences'?
Hey! We're being forced to produce less for fear of kicking the dollar even further down the shithole!
So when I say "advertising as a business model doesn't work" I'm suddenly responsible for finding a replacement business model?
Yup, definitely, and you could even advertise the fact you don't advertise. Develop a product, sell it online, and on your own website you show how you're able to be 10 bucks cheaper than the other guy because you don't waste money bothering people trying to watch a movie.
If you're a script kiddie who's keen on a *.gov address for your IRC bot, keep that in mind.
You know, I'm not a script kiddie and I tend to be on the defending side when it comes to dealing with obnoxious things on IRC, but if you're going to flood a channel you might as well use a bunch of bots sporting fbi.gov addresses...
It's coming sooner than that. Direct X 10 will be Vista only.
Which pretty much means any game that requires 10 or higher will have to do without my money. Gotta draw a line somewhere and Vista is where the line will be. Oh well, it'll give me more time to spend on other thing...like maybe learning OpenGL.
Ditto. As usual and expected though. Slashdot by itself is a religion that wants to preach a certain set of value to others, shaped by the admin who 'filter' and post all the news.
Yup, it seems the majority believes there's no room for religion in public schools and the government. Fortunately, apparently that belief was shared by enough of the chaps in the past to put it into writing, or to be more specific, to make it law.
he Asperger's Syndrome kind of coder (and I'm one, so I can make fun of myself if I want to) which finds more joy in coding something cool instead of going out and flirting with a girl
Stop the BS please. What is an Asperger's Syndrome kind of coder BTW ? An Asperger's Syndrome person would never "make fun of" himself, he would'nt know how, and this wouldn't have any purpose in his mind. You're far from what you say you are.
also has a very narrow focus of attention and gets bored easily when he must deal with stuff either (A) outside that focus, or (B) which is basically homework instead of getting to the cool stuff
BS again. An Asperger's Syndrome don't get bored at what he does, he just find it completed or not.
Not sure where you get your wisdom from but I too rather enjoy making fun of myself. The fact that you seem to think people with Asperger's have no sense of humor makes me really doubt your knowledge of the subject. As for getting bored...well, let's just say it's taken me multiple years to finish my current project, with large periods of intermittent boredom.

I mean, when you talk about hazardous waste, a black hole is about as hazardous as things get.
On the other hand, once you have that black hole anyway, might as well toss all the hazardous waste we already have into it to keep it busy.

The big multinationals run the show now and the governments do their bidding for fear of losing the money streams they offer.
;-)
Maybe you should go and apply for a job with Shell Russia
The problem of course, is that if the windows are see-through for maximum sunlight, you have issues with the police/neighbors being able to notice.
Don't worry, the neighbors will notice the smell well before that.

they'll just trigger the backdoor in Exchange. First they packet all other mailservers to death, then they commit digital suicide. Problem solved!
A woman I dated in that curriculum was waist deep in fluid dynamics I seem to remember.
You were dating a woman waist deep in fluids and you don't even remember properly?

A strict subset cares about freedom, and they're probably already running Linux.
Or they're the kind of people used to looking at the bigger picture and beyond the next quarterly results, such as, say, governments?

You have a thing for big apes?
only if the torrent allows you to download a file called oliverthered_eats_babies.txt
I wonder if it'll have an "I feel lucky" button...
Lately I've been using either wikipedia or a torrent search engine to find most what I am searching for.
Quite curious what kind of searches you do...
The true empire builders are now the businesses who order 10,000 Dell PCs and the 10,000 Windows licenses to go with them
And pay for 10000 Vista licenses only to install 2K...
