write a comic where a guy reads slashdot and then the next panel slashdot comment is acted out. for instance
"The same reason we recycle our electronics through free programs instead of burying them in the backyard (well technically the fee is paid at point-of-sale)."
theres a panel with that comment on the screen and then the next panel has a guy burying pcs in the yard and he says, hey lou! your doing it wrong!
I'm not sure that freewill, if it exists, requires any immeasurable quantum mechanical mumbo jumbo. The magic is not in any quantum mechanical phenomena inside the neurons, but in the standard physics arrangement of them.
More likely, the appearance of free will is result of the inability to perform 100% introspection into one's own mind. I can no more "understand" the real-time machinations of my own mind than a Pentium processor can run a real-time simulation of its own transistors. Because I can't perfectly introspect my subconscious, much of its output looks magically non-deterministic (hence the seeming similarity to quantum mechinical systems).
Any bounded-rational being would believe itself to have freewill based on its ability to take independent actions and its inability to introspect out all the causal factors underpinning its own actions. In reality, the system that creates intelligence can be 100% deterministic, just too complex for that intelligence to understand itself. Only a much more powerful intelligence could look down and see that these beings that think they have free will are actually operating on "simple" rules.
"And that, boys and girls, is why the next world war will be fought between Russia and China"
Canada will own them all. Then smack the us back to the real "SOUTH" america. South of canada you soon-to-be desert dweling bitches. Im sure the way the auto industry is going we will buy michigan.

was the original movie that great? or is it just nerd chic... regardless, you can just play armagetron with similar affect as that really crappy cam. while on the topic thoughm 0.5/10 video/ shit. that shitty of a cam should be illegal
fail... all trolls get feedback. if they are on the banlist they will know it because someone will eventually tell them to stfu.. tehy will jsut try harder, proxies etc.. you gotta fight trolls by ignoring them, denouncing them to others" hes just a troll and he wants attention ignore him".. confront trolls with their very exsistance, or if your skills are up to par, deal them a debilitating hand and then ignore them
It all sounds promising and rosy, as good as win2k... but then he gets to superfetch. enabling it.. Frankly, making it default disabled makes me trust 2008 more... but anyway, I havent seen any benchmark that a decent pc will perform any better with superfetch and readyboost turned on. Please inlighten me if I am wrong.
"not a god person here either, but if there is any sort of afterlife..."
Im pretty sure you either believe you go somewhere when you die or you realize its not possible. Theres no seperate "path" for reality depending on whether or not you believe in god. If you think theres even a 1 in 100 trillionth chance that there is an afterlife, for others as you say, i would seriously consider against saying that youre "not a god person".
i for one thought he was completely innocent seeing as her former lover was a serial murderer. Perhaps he copped a plea because the serial killa threatened his children?
You know I dont think it gets anymore concise than parent. editors should close comments when someone can answer the askslashdot question in a single line of text.
"Bush was only the figurehead and impeaching him will be temporary feel-good bullshit for the proles to digest. "
Im sure thats what they said about nixoned pardoned offences. And kissenger et il are all still walking around not dead too. Your country has been severely downhill ever since you pardoned nixon. You execute traitors that rob your country and sodomize you in the ass.
but then again maybe its not the american style anymore.
farmers have shared seed for thousands of years. Now monstanto claims they own the seeds. When you start fucking with seeds and shit the entire paradigm of money for ideas breaks down. you are not god, we do not owe you tribute.. all IP is this way
"So I bought a computer I'll get at least five years of real use out of instead of a two year throw away HP or Dell."
Jokes! i hope you baught an apple(tm) extended(tm) waranty(tm) otherwise, if its anything liek an ipod, your gadget has a 90 day waranty. What happens after that? You are told to buy the new model! 5 years indeed..
With adult, real computers, every part has its own waranty. Also, you dont have to buy your service packs and DONT have to have any bloody itunes, quicktime or safari near your ANYTHING. (apple updater FTW)
Btw, have you tried using an expensive old g3 mac (your five year old example). Good luck finding software thats not purposely broken so that it wont run on your revision of the OS. Thats the most hilarious part. Even if the software would work fine, there are locks on most programs to tell you what os revision you can run them on. You know the odd program that complains when you run it on 2k, but doesnt on XP? thats par the course for mac - why didnt you buy the upgraded service pack you prole??!?
"my software has recently been adopted by a university"
Seems like a no brainer to me. Get students to help you for credit. Im sure there are some programming classes that would love to have a real world project to work on. Talk to some professors there. See if you can integrate your program into the curriculum.

Seems as though bayes99 got it.
I think they make USB floppy drives now. Did you at least consider that?

attention is the reason trolls exist
Yeah realty! theres a career with a future!
just think of the chicks!

i for one thought he was completely innocent seeing as her former lover was a serial murderer. Perhaps he copped a plea because the serial killa threatened his children?
What if his users are network administrators or developers?
manager: Johnson! migrate the new code from drive z: to drive x: stat!
j0nson: umm but i use linuz!
manager: FAIL! you are the fired!
j0ns0n: aw...
Yes I too wanted to add my vote for that, but what about robin hood?

Was the same with 2k, dead before its time. Replaced with something more bloated and buggy.
I never thought I would feel sorry for xp, but here we are
Probably the block belonged to a canadian ISP before yours and its all just cached. You could have given us the netblock so we could see..... but no
As you have stated it was a wireless ISP so probably is relatively new.
but then again maybe its not the american style anymore.

Awesome. Bonus for getting an entire discussion to start off with you
