Well, they're certainly easily amused, but that doesn't make them retards. Heck, I *wish* I could laugh so long about something so... not all *that* funny... 8|
"I like meat. Meat Good. Ha ha ha. Poor plants." Like every vegetarian on the face of the planet hasn't heard that joke.
I got news for you, bub. Eating meat makes you a bad person. That's right. You are a bad human.
Plants don't have central nervous systems. Plants don't feel harm.
And unlike animals, plants are efficient, meaning that you won't be eating all the calories that that animal ate, and then all the calories in that animal. YOU are starving your fellow man.
How the frick is this a troll? Sorry to break it to you boys, but this's about the truest thing that's been said in this thread.:P
You may be fortunate enough to have a metabolism that allows you to eat whatever you want and not get fat. Another person could eat the same things and blow up like a balloon.
If we all had infinite spare time I'm sure there would be fewer fat people, but given that most people have other things to worry about, losing weight can get pushed off the top of their priority lists.
The abundance of fatty foods and lack of heathful ones in this country are certainly not helping this situation. It's generally easier to prepare/buy food that's bad for you than it is to for good food.
It's too bad. That was one of the funniest episodes I remember seeing. Does this mean that that episode'll never get shown again, or that there just won't be any more with that 'feature'? Maybe the other stations'll still show it...
When people ask "OK, now how much do I owe you?", you say: "I dunno. What do you want to pay me?"
If the people where you live are anything like the ones around here, you'll end up getting paid more than you would if you set a price ^_^
Unless, of course, you were GOING to have them pay you 50$ an hour. I only charged 15.
Sometimes I'll show up at someone's house, and they'll have fixed the problem themselves, but then they give me 20$ just for the trouble of riding my bike a couple blocks to their house.
Don't expect too much, though. I only made 300$ this summer (half enough to pay for my new computar!). But for the amount of work I did, that wasn't bad. Far better than bagging groceries, anyway.
As I recall from my history class, we told the Japanese that we were going to bomb those cities, and gave them every oppurtunity to get their people out of there. It was the Japanese overnment that was at fault. The US had to do something or the war could have gone on for a few more years and many other people would have died.
> George Lucas has really raised the bar with episodes 1 & 2.
Well, maybe some parts... The CGI characters sucked gravel through a straw. The original Yoda was much better, for instance. He looked like he was really there, not just pasted in. Yick.
Personally I love Ruby. It's great fun to program in. There's one thing I don't like about it, though: anytime you want to do ANYTHING, you have to do a method call. That means you have to take some object, and look through one or more hash tables of method names => methods. You can't evel 'call' a piece of code without looking up its 'call' method. I'm sure that hurts efficiency quite a bit. What would be nice would be to use Parrot-style vtables for common operations like get-subelement, get-attribute, call, etc. (however I think Parrot's gone a little overboard with the huge Vtables... Maybe there should be a 'mini' version of the Vtables or something...) So instead of saying
object.call('param1','param2',etc)
you could say (assuming 'CALL' is some kind of keyword)
CALL(object,'param1','param2')
or maybe even
object.CALL('param1','param2')
'CALL' would be recognised by the compiler as a lower-level method call. No method names to deal with, so it's much faster:-D. Yeah. Well with Parrot, you'll be able to write your super-high-level code that doesn't need to worry about such things in Ruby, but then write your lower-level code in a language which gives you more control, and compile it all down to Parrot byte code. I expect that Perl 6 will allow a bit more optimisation that Ruby does.
Sorry. That was incoherent (ant? whatever) and vaguely off-topic. Mmeh.
Is there a basis for preventing someone from killing puppies (painlessly) in his home without making a fuss or telling the neighbors? He's not hurting anyone after all.
Uhhhh... what about the puppies? Maybe that's not a good example, either.:-/
Slashdot Mirror
As soon as I start up XMMS, it crashes and no more writing to /dev/dsp for me!
:(
I don't think Linux likes my soundcard, is all
+1 interesting!
And +1 correct about bagging being a monkey job. Jeez, bagging groceries sucks.
Yeah, I'm having a slow day.
How about the win32 api, which is neither fully documented nor correctly documented.
It also Sucks.
Oh, pffft. I think got the joke now.
"Duke Nukem Forever Drifts"
LOL!

DC is a neat idea but I gave up on it because of this: Lose your connection to a hub, and all our downloads are screwed :(
I first read the title as "China Releases Cyber Demon" :P
That *would* be scary.
What? Your wife doesn't like to be pet and taken for walks? :P

Unfortunately it's not that simple.

How is this flamebait? Seriously, if what this poor bloke says is true, then his roommate deserves at least *one million* punches-in-the-face.
(link for the humour impaired)
You need to punch him in the face. Yeah, you'll get in big trouble, but... Yeah. He needs to be punched in the face.
Sorry, dude. I feel your pain.

My dad got paid 6 cents to carry away a hundred pack of CD-Rs one time. If these are 3x the price, they'll give him 14 cents next time!

mb would be millibit.
m - milli
M - mega
b - bit
B - byte
mix and match.

:-D. Yeah.

blah blah blah gotta wait 20 seconds
post to the mp3 list! http://togos.dhs.org/mp3list/
Heh. If it's out by then, this is what I'm asking for for christmas: Doom 3 and any hardware upgrades I need to play it ;)
> But ask yourself: Why did they die out?
:-/
I heard it was because humans killed them off. But then maybe the story's changed since I heard it
