Skip doing all the math and even the funding part by simply doctoring up a few satellite photos and a research paper calculating with near certainty that near limitless petroleum exists on mars, and they are protected by a heathon god.
sit back and watch all the funds get diverted to a new space program.
it'll be over very soon, along with that whole 'internet' fad thing. cause.. you know.. people hate tv.. and they hate the internet.. combining the two is surely doomed to failure.
I'm gonna waste some karma to support my fellow slashy (shock, horror! commradery on here??).. that was damn funny. give him at least one point.. it's not like he's in the 800Ks of UIDs, anyway.
It's easy. We set up pigeon feeders at newspapers, and in a little donated park areas around metropolis areas (good for the environment), set up bird seed machines that are on teh cheap as to attract lots of people, and train the birds to move from various park areas to newspapers. Then, all the informant has to do is pick a random park area and attach scroll to informant pigeon.. I mean carrier pigeon.. and bam. Too many people to keep track of for snoopy snoops. I suppose the only worry is getting a NO CARRIER signal. But the redundancy could be there with multiple visits to parks.
I saw the live feed from NASA.. I must say congrats.. but I'll give the conspiracy theorists something to ponder.. from the t-minus 30 minutes that I caught it, there was no switch to internal cameras to show the crew on-board.. this was not the case on the feed from the scrapped launch weeks ago. plenty of live shots on the crew that time. hmmmmm.. perhaps this mission is humanless??? hmmmmmmmmm???
or perhaps they're sending te backstreet boys, cause they needed funding.
I don't agree. I record music on at least 8 tracks at a time into a single cpu. I NEED higher transfer rates. If it's 4 gigs, thats enough to keep it recording without a drop in an entire days worth of recording. Then I can dump all that data to a slower, larger drive. It may not fit everyone's needs.. but this is PERFECT for me.
well, we fixed solder guns so that they may not burn our flesh without light of metal.
why not, then, some simple energy into safe-guarding against comfusion by employing better design such as spatial distancing of similair options and possibly the use of shapes, colors, and shades to prevent accidental misrecognition? After all, humans in excited states make similiar mistakes. Do you want things to be a bit more immediately obvious or as hard as was originally designed to be when you're in a state of emergency?
Anyway, as I said, I think its all funny that people make these mistakes.. but in the end, my friend, we all do. Such is life, and I doth protest that not.
I did not say I agree, if you will refer to the previous statement.
But since you have such interest, why not offer even a silly idea or fix instead of reducing every problem to stupidity on the users part. Circumstances are usually quite different in bugs like this. I personally think the situation was funny, and I merely thought it interesting to play the devil advocate. You, however, seem to be a bit hostile and quick with your reply. Hope you lose some of that some day.
Well it seems the logical deduction here, then, is that at least one of the submitors and editors agree with the media in the opinion that software writers like yourselfs have malproduced the functions and GUI's to the point where a spam event occured accidentally. Yes, trhough ignorance, but we don't give out lighters with every bottle of 151, now do we? Perhaps it is just a piece that talks to the opinion of those now in control of the culture machine.. they are bored and dissatisfied with the current version of their information plug-in experience.
" If I were the government, i'd have a weak-security honeypot sitting.."
Yeah, well if _I_ were the govt, I'd put the same fake info in the same type honeypot, but my govt would be smart enough to make that "fake" information _real_ so that real info is discredited along with the hacker. Two birds, one stone. But that's just me and my vastly superior govt. Thank God we have people like you running ours.:)
Or maybe we are finding that the network data lines compared to current census data (demographics) shows that connectivity in it's functioning sectional infrastucture is broken down by both largely race and economic factions of city dwelling residents, and the success rate of connectivity is so relative, looming on the down side would be economically inviable regions. If such a structure were shown to affect studies based on data collected from different view points (jumps throught the entire network through different hubs, traffic being affected through two different mini-networks that both led to the same end-point), perhaps both studies are correct, just not all encompassing. Sortof like the Theory of Everything. Good luck knowing when you've got it all.
That would hopefully, but at a great cost, cause modern citizens to re-examin the practices of cable and phone networks in their denial of network cable to rural, more costly areas. BURN THE DARK FIBER!!
Okay.. maybe it is BS, but I think it's just bad policy rearing its ugly head.

wow.. you're taking dupes to a whole new iDepth.
quick! someone paraphrase me before it's too late!
trust me, she _means_ to do that. I'd suggest a plastic bed cover and learning to like it.
works for me.

yes.. however it is a mute point for me, as it was Kid Icarus that did me in..

Should it be deep blue screen of death, then?
or if TJ keeps 'accidentally' dumping their sewage into our ocean, brown s.o.d.
yuck.
I just hope MIT takes all their cars and puts them on top of their dorms.
"Kent, you know you're not supposed to park that thing on campus, right?"
I smell an iSuit.
I hope that's in base 3.5 or something.. cause the answer is clearly 42. Duh.
How the fuck do you think the future becomes clear?
Bigger antennae.
The version number on the My Computer properties will read as different. Commence celebration.
yeah, sure, what with all those men not looking into his eyes when he speaks.
Well over here I can assure you there are a few kids who will learn the delights of an etch-a-scetcha this christmas.

You can FORGET IT until I get my minesweeper and solitaire.
oh, and calc. I so love calc.
