omg, your right. The calculations wil have to be adjusted, the 'SteveJobsRealityDisorderField (tm) will have to be recalibrated and I'll have to change my socks.
*nnngghh*
Ah, here the correct "what to think":
It's Friday, so we couldn't care less about Enterprise Linux, so this is good news. But it's June, so this is bad news. But the day of the week is odd, so we're supposed to only bash Microsoft and SCO. But the 1 of the digits in the day matches 2 digits year, so we only especially entrench ourselfs against critisism the GPL. And it was posted BEFORE 24:00, so this is good news.
It's like I'm the only one who can come up with^H^H^H^H^Hdo these complex calculations.
You're right. Being a level headed Christian myself, these "Christian Video Games" & "Christian Movie Ratings" (with the everwonderfull 'Contains bare chested men' =) are just completely silly.
Thing is, they allways seem to originate from the States....what's up with that?
It's Thursday, so we like Enterprise Linux, so this is bad news. But it's July, so this is good news. But the day of the week is odd, so we're supposed to only bash Microsoft and SCO. But the 1 of the digits in the day matches 2 digits year, so we only especially entrench ourselfs against critisism the GPL. But it was posted AFTER 18:00, so this is good news.
The group of names mentioned, (MS, Bea, and IBM) are probably not themselves lobbying, but a GB-lobby group...
So don't go trashing IBM for this, as I'm sure that being part of this GB-lobby group has some other advantages which do 'profit' open source products (from IBM, or otherwise).
But that all aside, this is a pretty silly situation, as other parts of the UK goverment have endorced Open Source software.
But hey, this article only states that the lobby group has lobbied against, but that isn't very dramatic is it?

And put linux on it and add OGG support and post news of the project to slashdot and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next and decide to make it a X-Box game controler and post news of the project to slashdot and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next and add good PNG support (with transparency!) and port the Java version of Mozilla to it and post news of the project to slashdot and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next
Fair enough, but the energy has to come from somewhere, and has to be paid for...
And anyway, it might even be the case that in the future you'd be able to get "fuel cell refills" as easily as batteries, and they'd be _much_ more enviroment friendly!
(Not that a nice propriaty "cell phone fuel cell refill" would be surprising, alas)

(Good thing you posted it AFTER 18:00 too, as else I'd still be confused)
They should make a Real Life TV series of that!
What a great idea! Hope, Bezos doesn't have it patented allready though...*sigh*
Sweet!
Ah, but it was posted AFTER 21:30w, making this an absolutely once off, never to be repeated again joke.
Got it?
Now even I'm confused. Care to explain your comment?

Yeah, all you base will belong to us, eh?
Don't worry, they're Russian doing this in conjunction with the Russian space program.

Think SCO
Finally if all else fails, we can always do an "ask slashdot" on where this technology is headed, and how fast it'll get there ;)
ROTFLOL, we should _really_ do this!
just a beowulf cluster of hot grits being lovingly fondled by Natalie Portman in Soviet Russia. Pity me.
Just? Heh..anyway you actually seem to have intelligence and, since this _is_ slashdot, you are not to be pitied at all =)
ty !
You _do_ realise I posted this as a joke, right?
*prays*
And put linux on it
and add OGG support
and post news of the project to slashdot
and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next
and decide to make it a X-Box game controler
and post news of the project to slashdot
and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next
and add good PNG support (with transparency!)
and port the Java version of Mozilla to it
and post news of the project to slashdot
and do an "ask slashdot" on what to do next
and....ehh...Get Natalie Portman to pose with it?
But that's just me probably...

I really liked your explination and it's like a breath of fresh air.
I really liked your desktop wallpaper too...
Could you tell me the name? or do you have it somewhere?
thanks in advance.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !
*Don't give him ideas*
That's pluging in your cell phone for "free",
"free" meaning paying your electricity bill at the end of the month anyway right?
Fuel cells are "free" as in "beer/methane", so that is the obviouse choise for the slashdotter!
You don't need the string.
