/mbr only writes to the first sector (the actual MBR that is)
This program writes to sector 33 (which is actually pretty smart if you're doing that kind of thing, because most other programs that do this either pick the first or last sectors of that cylinder+head, so being in the middle makes it relatively safe. (Although they're still assholes for not actually telling you it does this.)

The first move is obviously luck
I've never hit a mine on the first click, so I'm pretty sure the mines are placed *after* your first click.
The rules of boxing are pretty strict as far as guns are concerned, so the jury would probably (posthumously) declare you the winner of the match. Assuming, of course, the guy with the gun doesn't point it at the jury.
Also, toll ways are bad. They were designed to allow the roads to be built, but when the road is paid off they still charge you. They keep charging you because the beurocracy of the toll way doesn't want to lose its' jobs.
Roads need maintenance. If you have ever been to Belgium, you know that.
Its like saying "we don't know how many goats are out there, but by our calculations we have fucked 95% of them!"
You can do that easily:
- catch 100 goats
- fuck the goats
- label the goats
- release the goats
then, two weeks later, you (randomly) catch 100 goats again. If 95% of the goats you catch are labeled, that means you probably fucked 95% of all goats.
Of course, corrections might have to be made for goats that hide in shame or die of STDs after their encounter with you.

* Emphasis would be placed on how great it is that Sauron shared knowledge about his ring forging techniques with the Noldor.
* Some chapters would occur twice in the book, slightly reworded.
* The appendix would begin with "Compare the best prices on: Magic rings"
* The "scouring of the shire" chapter would begin with "IANAL, but..."
Think of it as the (2D-ish) surface of the earth: it has no boundaries (ignoring up and down), you can walk/swim as far as you like, yet the area is finite.
Of course, this doesn't make sense for time, since it would mean *ahem* that history would have to repeat itself (literally). I don't think I'd use that particular argument to support the Big Bang theory. I like the "So who created this god person anyway" argument better. Deities creating themselves out of thin nothing are probably surprisingly similar to the big bang.
You mean you actually fill in your real info when registering? I'm pretty sure their registration database is filled to the brim with crap. Filtering out the good ones is probably more expensive than going door to door all over the world putting flyers in people's mailbox.
Why do I have to pay to ride the subway? What extra costs do they have because I'm in it?
It's all about big numbers. Once the cable is in place, it's extremely cheap to use the bandwidth. But if all 100000 customers use a little more bandwidth, they have to add cables, which IS expensive.
AFAIR, corruption isn't eliminated under Communism, but averaged over all cities, so it is more manageble. Democracy eliminated corruption.
btw. once you are at war as a democracy or republic, just don't speak with their diplomats, because otherwise you'll be forced to sign a peace treaty with them.
Slashdot Mirror
University of Maine Model of Solar System scale 1 - 93,000,000 (93 mil miles = 149,668,992 km)
scale has no unit, so conversion is pointless
It's an application platform
I thought that was an OS
somewhere around 1996, it all went downhill
That doesn't happen to be the year you turned 18, does it?
Oh well, I guess even nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
Real programmers use COPY CON FILENAME.EXE
indeed. Especially useful for removing bios passwords when all you have is a bootable dos disk...
You forgot @-=
no check for you.
annihilating everything between Florida and Venezuela
Also known as the Carribean sea. What's the point? Apart from annoying Castro?
People who think like that deserve to be hurt. People who work for telemarketers do deserve to be verbally (and physically) abused
Yeah, she should let her children starve, so you won't be bothered before 9AM.
Asshole.
How exactly does it insult you? Are you a vampire or something?

although I'm willing to bet the NEC Earth Simulator is powerful enough to precompute every possible game, given enough time
I'm pretty sure it's not. Particles in the universe and picoseconds since the big bang come to mind.

Look at it this way: at least the patent will make it harder for others to be scum too.
