Weren't the first stealth aircraft announced just before Gulf War I? There was speculation at the time that we just needed an excuse to test new weapons in real combat.
In the 50's (make that the 1950's), in an effort to reduce to coyote population, the state of Kansas offered $50 for a pair of coyote ears. How about $5000 for each spammer's ear?
You are absolutely correct - dickweed would have been the choice. I apologize. I will also try not to read slashdot after mixing too much Guinness with too much red wine.
You fuckwad...the real batman has fake rubber muscles (and "manboobs" as well).
Christhopher Reeves the "definitive Superman"? I will always thing of George Reeves as the real one, even if he did duck when the bad guy ran out of bullets and threw his gun.
I bought a Sony drive about 4 years ago that stopped working after about 10-20 disks. If I remember correctly it could read it's own writing, but other drives couldn't, so maybe it some kind of alignment problem. Replaced it with an HP 8x4x24 that is still going.
Since I can't read the story, I'll ask here. I just returned an OptoRite 40x12x40 drive. It had the following problems: hung when reading a CD for duplicating (back off RIAA - it was a Linux disk); hung when writing a CD-RW; and would get a media error about 500MB into writing a CD-R. Does anyone know if this sounds like a bad drive, or is there some Linux (Mandrake 8.2) incompatibility? It said it would work with Linux on the box.
Also, is OptoRite the same as the Lite-On? I see alot of $40 40x12x40's and they all seem to be OEM'ed from the same place.

...just kidding.

Not everyone agrees with that.
I say let the weapons^H^H^H^H^H^H^H software inspectors have unrestricted access.
I thought the 'C' went in column 6. It makes the draft standards really hard to read, especially if you get the punchcard format.
institutional violence Did you mean to say corporate terrorism?
Didn't Micro$oft have some Linux job openings a few months ago? Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Maybe they were just waiting for him to finish the trilogy.

Actually, there already is a miniBSD. But it fits on a 64MB compact flash card, so go figure.
Gee, I always pronounced it "see-hack".

Remember Starbucks - they charged a rescuer something like $130 for some bottled water for the WTC victims.
I wonder how much the city will save after the lawsuits from Sun, IBM, Red Hat, et al, are settled?
Hmmm, genetic mutation allows man to develop speech. Isn't that the way evolution works in general?
Unless they ever had any problems and called M$FT support. The standard support call goes su\omething like this:
MSS> How many times ahve you rebooted the computer?
Hapless User> I lost count.
MSS> Try it one more time.
HU> What if it still doesn't work.
MSS> Then re-install Windows.
Real C programmers who want to use FORTRAN use RATFOR (RATional FORTRAN).
What about spud guns? Well, you do need kind of a large office...
Does it automatically schedule version upgrades and payments to M$, or do you have to put those in manually?
Maybe it could be used to write your name in yellow on a single snowflake.
