    Ah, yes, the sort of girl who will destroy your soul and then break up with you via interpretive dance, a psychedelic barrage of Tempera paint, and a thousand posterboard paper cuts.

  2. what do they sound like? on Listening for Cancer Cells · · Score: 4, Funny

    Apparently cancer cells sound very much like the Starland Vocal Band and can frequently be heard singing "Afternoon Delight" while carrying out their destructive task.

    Which is just one more good reason to eradicate cancer once and for all...

    now when I ask "about Mozilla Firefox", it says "Firefox 2.0" - whereas 2.0rc2 said "2.0rc2" .

    that's weird, at least for me RC1 said "Firefox 2.0" (I didn't check RC2)

    I've decided to stop buying EA products - even Spore.

    Now you've gone too far!! We're talking about Spore, here. Will Wright? The Sims? You're joking right? You were probably thinking, "I'll get people's attention if I make some outlandish claim." Well you jumped the shark with this one, my friend. Next time, try something believable, like "I eat babies" or "George Bush is my favorite public speaker".

    Not even spore... you got me... oh, that's funny.

    the most evident meaning of the term SPAM for the consumers ... will certainly be unsolicited, usually commercial e-mail, rather than a designation for canned spicy ham.

The last time I asked for Spam spam spam spam spam spam ham eggs spam spam spam bacon and spam, I got 6 advertisements for Viagra and Cialis, 3 pleas for extraditing Nigerian capital, an offer to augment my anatomy and blueberry pancakes served with Raspberry syrup and 2 raw quail eggs.

    Too bad we don't have a way of keeping the Earth in the same orbit/on the same axis of rotation.

  10. Re:Problems for Namesys? on The Future of ReiserFS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is Hans really that important to ReiserFS? Isn't this the whole beauty of GPL code, that there are thousands of people out there who can pick his work up without even involving him, Namesys etc., and continue the 'legacy'?

    I think Hans might very well be just that important to ReiserFS. I've worked at companies where if a certain person died or decided that they didn't want to work there any longer, it would be very hard to replace them.

    There are some tasks wherein the set of people who are both qualified and interested is quite small. This might well be true of the ReiserFS internals.

  14. Re:Quality, not quantity on Students Protest Turnitin.com · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think they should only submit (and hence keep) the papers that got a B or better. After all, if kids are dumb enough to plagarize C (or worse) papers, let them.

    It's an interesting thought, but it brings to mind a quote I heard years ago: "Do you know what they call a medical student who graduates with the lowest passing grade in his class? They call him a doctor."

  19. Re:Not to Worry on Pipeline Worm Floods AIM With Botnet Drones · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's a Pipeline Worm. It's a good thing the internet is made up of tubes instead of pipes or we'd all be screwed!

    Senator Ted Stevens responds:
    Yes, but you see, the tubes are connected to pipes, and those pipes are connected to larger pipes, and then there are canals, and dams and reservoirs, and other things that are even more complex and convoluted. So you can see by my use of the words "complex" and "convoluted", that it's all terribly complicated. But you are right about one thing: thank God it's not a tube-line attack - I don't know if that's the right word or not - but the tubes, they are the most important part of all the Internets, because that's where we access them, and by "we", I mean me and you.
