what's really happening is that you're continuing to work while you're on vacation
Apparently not, since he said he didn't officially take any time off. So he's probably still owed his "vacation" anyway... besides, if you like your work, it's no biggie so long as you get enough pool time in in the afternoons:P
Interrupts cost, both in computing and in social relationships.
Nah, just push your wife on the stack, clear the registers, and pop her off when you're done and jumping back. Of course the script kiddies won't get ANY of this;P
Wouldn't evaporating or boiling some of the water via nuclear reactors
Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...
Seriously do you have any idea of the amount of energy involved to do what you propose? Here's a hint: multiply 1370 W/m^2 minus 590 W/m2 by the cross sectional area of mars (around 3.6 x 10^13 m^2) to give you 2.7 x 10^16 Watts.
That's pretty much around the amount of energy you need to produce with your nuclear reactors to keep mars at around earthlike temperatures... To put this in perspective, a 1 Megaton nuclear device has a yield of around 4 x 10^15 Joules. You would need to be exploding the equivalent of 6 of these devices on the planet EVERY SECOND to generate enough energy. Then there's the problem of distributing the heat evenly...
Well given that he apparently, like most creationists, has absolutely no idea what evolution is (hint: its not about how life began) you really can't expect much from him.
But surely people like him are living proof that at least SOME of us DID descend from monkeys...
Last I heard, we were doing better at killing off anything Martian we may have 'discovered'
OMG! Already crack-pot environmentalists are trying to blame us for "destroying" mars??? Damn, I'm sorry. I killed those baby seals, but the martian baceria - NOT GUILTY! And I didn't pour the acid on Venus either!
Let's see. By all accounts we're producing too much CO2 on Earth, meanwhile our closest neighbour is just begging for some CO2 to trigger a bit of global warming and make the planet nice and cosy.
Uhh, dude, sorry to rain on your parade but the martian atmosphere is over 90% CO2! I doubt that having more CO2 there is going to do anything. What Mars really needs in order to be warmer is to have an orbit closer to the sun!
Man you have to re-take basic nerding 101 for not knowing that.
A tool is supposed to do things my way. Not the manufacturer's way.
What you fail to understand is that it's so much easier to find a way to screw you over than to actually come up with something new and useful.
I started getting pissed when I found out the video card that I had bought specifically with a TV-Out port wouldn't let me watch DVDs I had purchased on my TV (despite this being fair use) because surely I was a pirate and wanted to copy that DVD. Well fuck them, now I rip movies that I rent and/or download movies, and watch them anywhere I want in my house. Call me a thief. They are bigger theives - I don't remember a label on my video card saying "Hey, the TV Out port you want and paid an extra $100 for won't actually WORK due to something called Macrovision".
Come and get me, no DMCA in THIS country. Let's see, which movie should I download tonight?
they win, all content hosts will be in big trouble
No, the content hosts will just move to a country with more reasonable laws, and Viacom will STILL be "screwed" - perhaps even more - because now they could even ignore the takedown notices.
Personally I'd love for them to get some crazy judge to (try to) enforce this - see the internet go dark, and have the blame squarely placed on Hollywood. Perhaps then the IP pendulum would start to swing the OTHER way... most of the content on youtube belongs to the PEOPLE, even if it's mostly flammable flatulence experimentation.
Can you copy my stuff without my permission and then redistribute it?
The answer is no (unless I've licensed it for such).
But good luck in your litigation against the site the infringer posted the stuff on. If you send them a take down notice, they will take it down - they have in the past.
Or perhaps you're just being greedy, since you have competing sites that do EXACTLY the same thing (but aren't nearly as popular), and youtube was a) acquired by Google and b) made "man of the year"...they must have plenty of cash, right?
No - it doesn't organize squat. It's like an environmental law to cut down on CO2 by mandating that people breathe more slowly. The compliance to this law will be exactly ZERO. If they start trying to enforce it in the US, porn sites will simply move out of the US. So what purpose does an unenforceable law serve? It makes the proponet(s) feel good about themselves. Period. Problem is this is happening on the public bankroll, with public funds.
Your second paragraph is too convoluted for a rational dissection - it would get messy fast. However you do manage to contradict yourself while at the same time, believe it or not, you are quite redundant.
In conclusion, you are also a moron for calling someone a moron on slashdot. Oh don't worry, I'm a moron too.
ISP: So, you want to see porn on the internet? You dirty bastard, that's an extra $50 a month and we'll unblock that port for you.
Of course this would never work since it requires the cooperation of the whole world. As far as I know most online porn sites aren't based in Utah. When will they learn...?
Ah, the out of context argument. My house is private by the definition that I have locks on the doors and blinds on the windows.
Funny - my computer is in my house, behind locks and blinds too. Hey Google's computers also are behind lock and key, and they even have security guards and alarm systems. I don't ever remember giving Google permission to disclose any information shared between them and I - oh and heaven forbid I go around giving away the information Google found for me - I'd get sued!
Why would the whole world automatically be party to the information Google and I shared one evening? My computer sent that information to a specific internet address, and the answer came back specifically to my computer.
If you've got nothing to hide, you should have no problem with this.
Yeah while we're there we can install the webcam in his bathroom and broadcast on the net every time he takes a crap. I have a pair of guys willing to do the commentary on wiping techniques to add to the video...
Slashdot Mirror
The problem is she keeps taking timer interrupts while you're handling whatever other issue came up, so when you finally switch back she'll be pissed.
Never marry someone unless you first install your own handler at 43h...

He says they made fewer than 60 mistakes out of 100,000 notices? I'd say that's pretty good
No he only admitted to 60 mistakes... it's not the same.
Along with 'spamming'.
What spam? There's a law against spam now - there has been for a while. You can't be receiving SPAM... it's illeagul.
(Yes, spelling nazis, it was done on porpoise).
The example has nothing to do with 'environmentalists' - it has all to do with the first samples NASA tried to deal with
Yes, it's called a "joke".

36 feet = 10972.8 mm, exactly.
Actually, if you want the hair-splitting nerd fight to continue, that would be 36.0000 feet exactly. Don't forget your significant figures!

Only SCO would think that the state government of Utah controls the world.
Well Utah USED TO control the world, until IBM stole it!
this idiot will write will mandate that pi be defined as exactly 3, since 3.14159... is too difficult?
:-P
All that means is that his circles will be smaller?
or have their ISPs do the blocking for them.

Not only that, but is the history of searches you made over 2 years ago relevant to your current searches performed today?
Studies have shown that 43% of all people who search for "Donkey Love" will buy our product within 3 years if they see our ads.
"Goldfish porn" and "Kinky sofa covers"
Funny you mention that, I was searching just the other day for "sofa porn" and "kinky Goldfish covers"...

Well, there's all that stuff about "render unto seeders"...
I swear to you I can see the parable of the (mustard) seed having something to do with BitTorrent.
88 billion dollars can certainly buy you a lot of sex, too!
At what point do we stop looking at Hawking as some demigod genius, and realize that he has gone absolutely crackers?
At the point where he decides to push everyone out of the spaceship and fly to Jupiter...
