I, as well, welcome our 1/25th of original size overlords... but it only works on hot grits articles, which are highly compressable due to the large amount of petrified data.
Hear hear! My 3 year old loves Futurama (she likes Zoidberg, with Bender a close second). She too, doesn't repeat Bender's catchphrase (nor Zoidberg's "I feel like a summer guy!"), but she finds it pretty entertaining. Her (now 5 year-old) cousin, on the other hand, did use the phrase "I could get through here if I didn't have these damned arms" which got her in trouble...
I suppose its only a matter of time before we have to cross that bridge.
Its not dashes that do it, but soft hyphens (0xad). There's a link in another thread which has the apropriate HTML, and it does hang Firefox 1.06 on Fedora 4.
Which is why you cluster the services and then you have no single point of failure.
I don't disagree with uptimes being exaggerated a bit (especially in comp.os.vms when this is brought up), but its easier to have a theoretical 100% uptime with VMS and clustering when set up properly.

He used --force or --nodeps when removing that package. It tried to stop him and he overrode it.
Better disable 'cat' since it can be used to erase your hard drive!
Its because ESR is a self-important asshat and instead of just quietly slipping away he issues the equivalent of a press release.
Its always too long to wait for tentacle porn!
welcome our cancer-resistant rodent overlords.
welcome our new cross-platform proof-of-concept viral overlords.
Its almost like playing buzzword bingo.
Nah, it really is 1/50. If you get 1/25 compression not counting dupes, you'd surely get 1/50 with the dupes.

Wouldn't you get 1/50th since is seems like every other story is a dupe.
You will be begging for gerbster!
Oh if I only had a few mod points!
Bender: Wait, my cheating unit malfunctioned. You gotta' give me a do-over.
Dealer: Sorry - the house limit is 3 do-overs.
Um, six?

Here's an xxd dump of the offending HTML:
Perhaps "Free Waterfall Jr" might be a good choice, what with the penguin preserve on pluto and all.
Let's Conservate!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
[heh, I had to]
damn you're fast...I was looking up that quote.
Bender: Quit squawking fleshwad nobody's forcing you to buy anything.
Amy: Yeah. I mean we all have commercials in our dreams but you don't see us running of to buy brand name merchandise at low low prices.
I think I found my new homepage. Zombo.com told me to.
I just built version 1.2 from 1993 and its pretty quick.
:(
It won't render slashdot, though
Now I'm off to build 2.6!
"carppy mod day"? I think carp would look cooler with an extra tail. And maybe a goatee.

I believe its similar to Do-what-I-mean (DWIM) called Find-what-I-want (FWIW).
Only if you try formatting a floppy at the same time. :)
