They were having him plot out the shuttle missions too, but it was considered to be in poor taste when he would punctuate each re-entry point with, "Boom!"
In short telnet+response file = download an.exe from the web = any sort of functionality you might want using Unix command line tools.
This is a minor point, as there are plenty of other malicious things you can do with a command line, but the built-in Windows telnet client doesn't support response files.
I don't think he's invented Hamburger Earmuffs (TM) yet. He's likely still struggling with the pickle matrix.
I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer. It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your pickle and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
But on the other hand, EU Law could be one awesome prime time dramedy.
See what happens when McKenzie Brackman gets bought out by a shady eastern European firm and the attorneys are forced to defend a colorful array of spammers, phishers, and identity thieves.
Do you suppose Susan Dey or Corbin Bernsen are available?
I applaud your autodidactic instincts, but in this case I was spoonerizing an old geeky meme.
Personally I think the quote's origin is crap, apart from the beautiful production design and Rutger Hauer's speech at the end. However I won't let that get in the way of a cheap laugh.
Despite also being visually brilliant, I don't think Avatar has the same problems -- the characters actually talk like real people for the most part, and their interactions are believable. Unfortunately the plot turns into a hackneyed cartoon about halfway in. That doesn't make it bad, but merely ordinary.
I'd still recommend it though, if you can see it on the big screen. It's an experience on a par with seeing Toy Story for the first time.

- The magical interface that allows Data to type whole programs by pressing one of 6 buttons on the side of a touchscreen.
I dunno. There are some serious drawbacks to an interface like that.

Yeah, it's going to disrupt things like a bovine male in some kind of retail establishment.
You can't say it isn't forward thinking if it won't let you go back.
Clearly the designers were familiar with the first rule of Italian racing.
Does this mean I can carry a sword too!?
You might not need it; if you can get someone to worship the ground you walk on then immortals won't be allowed to fight you.
and you know what ? they were both right.
Nope.
I'm Tycho Brahe, you insensitive clod!
Sorry sir, but we can't allow you on this flight. Our system identifies you as the evil Lee Marvin from Cat Ballou.
Actually his nose is quite stable now. It's likely to remain in its current state long after the rest of his body has decayed to nothing.
Maybe in some future time someone or something will dig up his remains and wonder what all the extra parts were for.
Or, in a zany twist, they might mistake the surviving fragments of a Woody Allen movie as a documentary and elect Mr. Jackson's remains as The Leader.
Apparently they don't live at the bottom. From TFA:
The gribble is found in the water chewing on rotting logs, boats, and docks, and to this point it has been considered an annoying pest.
I'm guessing the logs were a bigger proportion of their diet before human beings came along.
Do you believe that my being funnier or more insightful has anything to do with my karma in this place?
Do you think that's coffee you're breathing now?
You know, I know this pickle doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, Slashdot is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious.
After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.

I read the name as david bowie (sleep deprivation is awesome) I kept waiting for the punchline
HAL: Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.
David Bowie: I'm stepping through the door, and I'm floating in the most peculiar way.
That would be my thought as well.
Fogerty v. Zaentz
The Ph key? Is that next to the Any key?
Finding it is sort of a litmus test.
The only real reason to not have such a feature is because of trail-braking or hell-toe shifting.
And you can get reimbursed if something happens during the latter.
Just wait for the dealership to announce that there'll be hell-toe pay.
EULA != law

Once you can shoot down mosquitos with lasers you might not need a vaccine for malaria.
Wow. That sounds much easier than the old way.
A spokesman for the team discovering the aircraft issued a short statement, consisting solely of
"Tekeli-li! Tekeli-li!"
...in an Australian accent.
Faked - see: Snopes as usual, has the straight dope.
They do? Cecil is going to be pissed.
That's a great use of limited resources. It also gives you powerful leverage with any future ISPs.
I mean, the next time they do something to get on your nerves, no one will doubt your sincerity when you threaten to wok.
Your users can deceive you. Don't trust them.
Let go your professional self and act on instinct.
is this Slashdot? noone condemned the article because he said pacific instead of specific?
No, he didn't.
