Americans are the most entertained and least informed population on earth. The "news" industry here is a joke. People were better informed in the former Soviet Union.
- Get out your credit card(s) - Clear your calendar for the next week - Call Micro$oft - Sign up for MSDN (make sure your credit cards(s) have a high limit) - Wait for a large box full of disks (are they still using CD's or have they switched to DVD's?) - Try something (it wil fail) - Call M$, goto previous line forever
Of course it's safe if you have to stop and reboot every few seconds (five computers running Win98 - I guess you can have any color you want as long as it's BLUE). It's probably almost as safe as Jaguars, which never even start.
I beat Bart Simpson by at least two decades. My EST friends were all impressed by the EST Zen koans, and were talking about "the sound of one hand clapping" one day. So I said "Here's what it sounds like" and clapped with my right hand. Then just for yucks, I clapped with my left hand. And no, it doesn't sound anything like John Cage's.
I've always wondered about that "touch start" thing. You must touch your badge to start communicating, but how does the computer know when you've hit the end of the message. On the show, they just start talking to someone else. If the computer is smart enough to know the end of the message, it should be smart enough to know the beginning also. (Kind of like the phone company - "You must press a "1" before dialing the number.) I guess I'll just have to wait for RFC 43532159 to find out.

Is she there this time?
Check the page source. You can see a link to textonly.htm, which says you can email to sales@alexispark.com. Better yet, try this.

Maybe on a Beowulf ClusterFuck of C-64's.
Content Addressable Parallel Processors by Caxton Foster.
laws of form by g. spencer brown.
Even more important than the first book.
You mean the part where he says he lied about everything in "Applied Cryptography"?
I think the book "Windows XP for Dummies" just about says it all.
Just say ".NYET!".
Maybe they should install a priority inversion indicator light. Then the pilot could fly upside down until it fixes itself.
Oh, never mind.

"It's better to burn out than to fade away." -- Kurt Cobain
That's kind of a no-brainer, isn't it?

"Microsoft stock price is too high."
He said this a couple of years ago, when it was over $100. By golly, he was right.
Unix admins cost more than MCSEs, too.
I guess it's true - you do get what you pay for.
I know where you can get a bunch of surplus capacitors.
It's the programming language for Bell Lab's (you know, the original Unix people) Inferno embedded O/S.
Are you talking about the Shroud of Turin or the Shroud of Urine?
If you don't get it then you don't get it. Move along, nothing for you here. Try the Disney channel.
This gives me reason to continue living.

I spent many hours when I was first learning C on this one:
/*b is the start of a comment.)
int divide(int *a, int *b)
{
return *a/*b;
}
(Hint:
Then there's the famous FORTRAN bug (if I can remember the syntax correctly):
CALL ADD(N,5)
SUBROUTINE ADD(I,J)
I=I+J
J=10
From then on, every time you used "5" you would actually get "10". (Call by reference or something from the dim past.)
Jeez!
Cool idea for a product (and probably a patent): a stored dictionary, which one could use to check spelling before posting anything on the Internet.
If God is a software engineer, then Satan must be a [C++|Perl|COBOL|C#] hacker.
Also, I wonder if God uses vi or Emacs?
