I'd like to advise readers of this story to read at score 0...there's some really good stuff about Captain Crunch's the real person down farther in the discussion.
You may rest assured that your professor's judgement was correct. John Draper is indeed, a butt raper, as well as a nasty bum, ask anyone who ever came in contact with him.
Is it true you're known as John "Butt Raper" Draper? Is it true you're an old, nasty troll who likes to hang around raves and drool on underage kids? Is it true you're just a homeless bum? Is it true you used to go to hacker cons just to try and get boys to go to your hotel room for a "massage"? Is it true you fucked Grayareas? Eww that bitch was nasty.
Before anyone mods me down, these are real questions, ask anyone who came in contact with the creepy buttraper draper.
BZZZT wrong. Sorry, your friend Martin is mistaken. Africa's problems are caused by the white man. Period. If you think otherwise I suggest a few courses in race relations at a nationally known university.
Who the hell are you kidding? Two weeks after they install the systems, there will be a line around the block to watch porn of white girls. Fights will ensue, a mafia will form to control the computers, etc etc. Water filters...really.
Yeah, making racist comments about another culture's language ability is really fucking funny. I'm ashamed this got moderated up. I thought slashdot was more sensitive than this.
You'd let a child handle something so expensive? Heck, the target market for this stuff is adults. What kid has the cash for this? Even legos are pretty pricey.
Okay, I know, there are legions of spoiled kids whose parents can't stop buying expensive gifts for them.
First of all, Carmack is just a talented professional, just like millions of other talented professionals out there. Just because he's been deified by nerds doesn't mean gambling isn't a loser's game. All he did was approach the game of blackjack mathematically, like any person with half a brain. Heck, this isn't the 70s, when card counters were an insular fraternity. The info is freely availible on the internet (everyone's favorite site, thewizardofodds.com, seems to have gone down or been squatted upon), and a few hours of practice will teach you everything you need to know. The real trick is to avoid being spotted and barred by the casinos. This is extremely difficult, what with the $10,000 limit and all.
Even more foolish than the casino player is the online blackjack player. The Wizard of Odds analyzed the play of one prominent site, and found that the program was dealing doubles, in other words if the dealer was going to take a bust card, the program declined it and took the next card in the deck.
They could have made tens of millions applying themselves in real estate. Seriously. My father is getting into it, and it's just ridiculous how much money you can make, even if you're an idiot. If you're sharp, you can make money much faster than sitting around in a smoky casino waiting for a +6 count. Plus, it's legal.
Blackjack card counters are fools. So are any "professional" gamblers. With a similar investment of effort, a person could instead succeed at investments, or real estate, or any other enterprise. Cheating casinos is way too much effort for too little return.
Why is it, if a Leftist politcal agenda is advanced in a work of "art", the creators are credited with depth, greatness, and strength of character, and yet when a Rightist political agenda is advanced, the creators are jingoist, reactionary, and fascist?
All the Sony stuff sold in America is made in Mexico. Don't fool yourself you're getting the robotic Japanese worker quality...the Japanese keep that for themselves these days.
Excellent...thanks. Wintop, what a thought. Glad to see at least one person at MS has brains enough to re-implement common software. Turns out my "Task Manager" imitation program was lying its pants off about my CPU, wintop said 98% idle even with all useless systray things going.
What would you suggest, for a Win98 system that has a runaway process somewhere? On my mom's computer, for some reason it runs at 50% cpu when idle, which means there's some task chewing away. But I can't find which one, as none of the utilities I have will tell me CPU usage on a per-process basis like on NT or 2k. I've already killed off every process I can until the 14 or so that are left will crash the system if killed. Any thoughts?
Slashdot Mirror
Bzzt, any web page with background MIDI files loses.
Really...NPR doesn't need any of your money. They get plenty of money from the government to advocate their leftist views.
So, tell me, how many minutes of brushing did it take to get the taste of his energy out of your mouth?

The Phunny Pharm was the best in 713. Major used to post there.

I live in fear that one day advanced mathematicians will discover proof we really don't exist, and we all die in an instant.
The article said he lived in Russia while he postulated his theories. Sounds smart to me, you can think the same paying $40/month for rent.

Is that so freaking hard? BCC is horribly abused by spammers. Ten BCC recipients is more than enough.
Nobody needs to BCC more than ten people at once. We had huge problems with BCC spam at my old job.
In a recession, you buy different kinds of property. Dumbass. Plus, "recessions" are national in character, real estate is very local.

Art is judged regardless of the artist's politics? WTF? Artists have to spout a certain political viewpoint, or they don't get shown, period.

How about a category of "Saddam Sympathizers"? Let's not kid each other, the authors of this flash animation would probably be in the forefront of this Iraqi-flag-waving protest.
