Sigh.. guess I'll have to start wearing my tin-foil hat again.
More seriously, how did they know that the monkey was thinking about moving stuff ? Maybe 'move cursor left' was actually 'damnit let me out of this crappy chair'.. Also, how erratic were the cursor movements? Could be fun to play UT with that (and reserving your hands to more useful purposes, like eating or punching your oppenents.)
Indeed. So the clone only receives one of these genes, right? So the clone can'T be cloned himself, because there would be no 'spare gene' to transfert. Suppose cloning one self became a basic right.. Clones would be denied that right because of that genetic defect. The biggest problem I see is creating a race of 'inferior' humans, outcast from the rest of society:/
Well, it's rather cumbersome to type the documents before sending them, opposed to just putting it in the fax and pushing 'Send'... One doesn't always have the digital copies on hand.
Here's a few of my favorites online comics, for everybody's enjoyment:)
Sluggy Freelance Probably the best online comic.. Read the whole archive:) Megatokyo Rather good as well, a mix of gaming and anime Winter A new one, started this monday, looks promising. Exploitation Now Chicks. Violence. R-Rated stuff. Read it:) Penny Arcade Duh. Dilbert Classics are good too..
The copyright act gives you the right to make a copy.. if you can. It doesn't require the publisher to allow you to make one... Oh and if you bypass the protection, you'll be in violation of the DMCA. Have a nice day!
So I'm interviewing for new Operators, and, as the Bastard System Manager
from Hell, I have high standards. And as the Immediate Past Bastard Operator
from Hell, I have even higher standards.
I get the first applicant in.
"Ok" I say "I'm just going to ask you some simple questions to guage your
knowledge of Computing and Networking in relation to the Operations Field"
"Sure"
"Right. Question One. What's the best way to stop an individual posting
nasty articles to news?"
"Close their account"
"Good - But can you elaborate?"
"Delete all their files, Change their password to `Knobhead' and Erase any
backups of their account"
"Excellent. What is a killfile?"
"Uh. It's a list of usernames/topics/news items etc that you wish the news-
reader to automatically skip so you don't have to wade through rubbish"
"Uh No. Remember I said pertaining to Operations. A killfile is in fact a
file with a list of names of people you are going to kill."
"Oh. Of course."
"Never mind. What is DCE?"
"Delete, Close and Erase"
"Good. DTR?"
"DON'T TRY to RING. The Operator's watchword"
"Well done. DBMS?"
"Dont Bug My Supervisor. Probably the most important acronym around"
"You betcha. Ok. A user comes to you with a complaint about another user
sending sexually explicit email messages to them. What do you do?"
"Take a copy of the messages, close the complainant's account (by accident)
and extort money from the mailer by threatening to show their parents"
"Good. I think you'll do nicely. Hang onto this wire..."
"I don't think so."
"Excellent. You passed the final test. You start tommorrow. Please leave
by that door so as not to disturb the other applicants."
BZZZZZEEEERETTT!
Electrified Door Handle. Gets them every time. I think it's the "Complaints
Dept" sign that draws them to it like moths to a globe...
Slashdot Mirror
"Comcast reserves the right to drain the life savings of it's users and/or get rid of their pityful selves and/or family members."
Just because it's in the TOS doesn't make it legal.

Gargoyles anyone?
2. Go outside
3. Look at moon
Wasn't that what the kids in Along came a Spider used to chat in class? Somekind of over-simplified version of it, anyways ^_^

Or reading a document that's being cencored as you read it. Ack! The Sky is Falling!!
