Wow, who would have thought a freshman at a small mid-western college who never gets any action would find love in the dorm laundromat? These true stories are fascinating.
3 and 1/3rd. 3.33. Was that so hard? If you are measuring flour for a cake and put in 3.34 or 3.32 I'm sure everyone will be polite and not tell you how bad it turned out.
Or maybe you are calculating interstellar probe trajectories without a calculator?
Hey um... I was just kidding about the whole overthrow the government thing. And the kiddie pics were for a research project. Like Pete Townshend. Yeah, just like Pete Townshend. And I purchased all of those songs and movies and just needed backup copies.

Phwew, for a minute there I thought a Genital Recognition Algorithm would be able to recognize WHOS genitals are in the picture. Whip 'em out, we're still safe for now.
The next career to disappear in the U.S. is programming. There are no more entry level jobs, they've all been outsourced. Hence, there is no new generation of programmers in the U.S.
That means any new innovation in computer software will be coming from India or another of the up-coming outsourcing countries.
That's a quaint idea. I don't know about you, but here in the U.S. I have a choice of voting for the corrupt self serving pawn of corporations wearing a red vest or the corrupt self serving pawn of corporations wearing a blue vest.
Almost right. Space is completely hostile to life as we know it.
But it will not be hostile to our descendant's: robots with AI good enough to carry out tasks for us and return with information and goods gathered in space. And one day in the far future, AI that's as good as us. That will be our legacy, while us bags of meat and salt water are stuck down here in the only place in the universe we know of where we can live.
Top story tonight: Researchers show there is a 50% chance that a beehive with a cellphone will do worse than a beehive without a cellphone. Notably, opposition researchers claim there is actually a 50% chance that a beehive without a cellphone will do worse than a beehive with a cellphone. Further study is warranted, but in the meantime it is recommended that 50% of you stop letting bees use your cellphone.
Ah those were the days. I remember trying to copy a game on my Apple II that just wouldn't work. I finally figured it out. The original disk was written so that it mattered which disk sectors were lined up next to sectors on adjacent tracks (cylinders). When you format, read and write to a disk the OS didn't particularly care WHERE on a track the sectors were written, with respect to the previous track. This program checked for that and had to be mastered with special software that would format the disk by finding a certain sector then immediately moving the head to the next track and begin formatting that track at that location.
I had a great time writing a program to copy a disk preserving the track to track alignment of sectors.
Ironically, DRM is partially responsible for my learning so much about programming as a teenager.
I don't get it. Is this a quote from a movie? It's ridiculous, and poorly written. "Trog get hit by car but bounce off. Trog strong. Trog forearm solid like bear."
> my bullies (they'd never confront me alone) blocked my entrance to my classroom > it still scares me thinking about just what I might have done had my teacher been a few minutes late.
You would have had your ass handed to you, that's what would have happened.
Still might have been worth it, if you became too much trouble to pick on.
I had a disconcerting experience years ago in college. I was in a lounge with a group of people, and one particular person was annoying me. I *thought* some nasty thoughts about what a jerk he was. He got really upset and it turned out that he was in the habit of augmenting his bad hearing with some subconscious lip reading. Apparently I had sub-vocalized my thoughts without intending to and he had somehow picked up enough of it to get the gist of what I was thinking. I hadn't made a sound or moved my lips, but my tongue and throat had moved a little in response to my thoughts.
Because building a "Hackintosh" is the exact opposite of what Apple customers want. They want to buy something that just works with no hassle and no effort. They don't want to tweak settings, wrestle with cryptic error codes, or compile kernels. They are willing to pay a premium for that experience.

Good tip. I don't think any human being has found algae in his seminal fluid before. Good luck with that.
Don't worry, they will get to Linux soon. Any distro that can play DVDs or decode MP3s or rip a CD or a DVD will be flagged as a problem and get added to the list of things you are not allowed to download. And I'm sure now that the MPIAA and friends have gotten their way there will be many other organizations lining up with their lobbying contributions to get their favorite vice added to the list as well.
Did I read that Australia is banning pictures of adult women with A-cup sized breasts? If this ever gets passed here in the U.S.A. I'm sure it will be illegal to download evolution texts soon.

Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Contract rates? Where have you been the last 10 years. Contract rates start at 10 rupees.
Goodbye 4chan, it was fun while it lasted *sniff*

1GB per MONTH?! I use 1GB on a good evening.
My weekly backup over the net is 4GB.

I was really into Marble Madness. After playing the game, I found myself bouncing off walls and dropping into manhole covers.

I know a certain circle of influential fat that will be working hard to make sure that doesn't happen.
Good luck fighting them.

We're talking about flash photography, of course.

Is it from 'Invincible'? From a comic maybe?

I don't there there are many 13 year old girls at MIT. Draw your own conclusions.
