If I received messages like that, I'm sure that I'd immediately run out and buy the car. Would that work for telephone soliciters? CALLER: I'm coming over to kill you! ME: Why yes, I'd like to test drive your new car. CALLER: I'll also rape your dead body! ME: Really! A free cookbook with a test drive. Awsome.
Don't be suprised. The best way to win a Nobel Prize right now is to bad-mouth the United States. Jimmy Carter did it, and got the prize. Obama does it, so he gets one too. What's hard to understand about that?
If you were building a cluster as a shared memory system, and each node had 1 TB of RAM, you could fit ten million nodes in before you started to have address space problems.
Will it then be able to run windows with all features turned on?
This is like those COPS shows, where they are following a high speed chase from a helecopter. The announcer is always announcing how they nearly hit the pedestrians, who were on the sidewalk, on the opposite side of the street.
We've got those laser defenses, with the castles. As long as we keep blasting them we'll earn enough points to keep getting new laser cannons! Or was that for the alien invaders.
Will they need to redo the opening of all those movies and TV shows where they fly past the planets? You know what sticklers for scientific accuracy they are.
In the US this would be a non-issue; here one can register a copyright with the Library of Congress for a very small fee, and your certificate is proof you hold copyright.
The law doesn't allow someone else to copyright your material if you don't. Also, in the US you do not have to register it to own the copyright. Placing a copyright notice on the work is sufficient. Even if he didn't, that does not give the label ownership of his works. Since they caused the mess, they should be the ones who have to clean it up. He may have to go to court to push the matter to some conclusion.
Instead of leaving the lanthanoids and actinoids in separate groups, why don't they merge them into the appropriate circles? Anyway, it's still a stupid idea. It gives no more information than the current configuration, and places atoms together (the ends of the current rows) which causes a big jump in number of electrons between the two elements. And if you were going to base this on the size, shouldn't you adjust the boxes up/down based on their actual size instead of putting them together? I don't think that all the atoms in a row are exactly the same size.
Now that the slashdot group has been advised of this offering, how many scenes of Nalilie Portman pouring hot grits down someones pants do we actually need?
To make it easier to comprehend, 3751 per DIMM per year means that you are getting about 10 errors per day per memory stick. Mosy machines have at least 2 sticks, so that is 20 errors per day. Since you probably don't have error correcting built into your machine, that means those 20 errors actually cause something wrong to happen in your machine. You can hope it's causing the screensaver problems, but it can be doing something very bad to you.
You need to discuss the scientific facts commonly used in many of the Science Fiction TV programs (and obviously well known and believed by slashdot abusers) 1. If you give a computer a really hard problem, it will explode. 2. A nuclear reactor can easily explode, causing the Earth to split in half. 3. You can travel at the speed of light squared. 4. Spaceships can be steered jut like a car. Just jump in, and start driving. 5. You can have sex with any (opposite sex) alien that you meet (and many of the same sex ones too). 6. Aliens look just like normal people, except they are different colors. 7. Aliens travel all the way to our planet just to steal the water. The probing stuff is just for fun. 8. Aliens, who have the technological ability to create high level AI's and robots, need to enslave us to do their work.
The additional books of the Rama were written with another author, and are just stupid. (Spoiler: angels built it). Don't bother with them, as they don't make much sense.

In the next version they are going to use sharks, with lasers.
Gives you a new definition for a head mounted display.
One that includes Microsoft
They have to have somewhere to park the black helicopters
Does it really count as a job when you haul it one six-pack at a time, and do it internally?
If there is so much water to be found all over the universe, then why do all the alien invaders keep coming to Earth to steal the water?
have to accomplish some significant shit
He's done the import thing. He's been telling everyone how evil the United States is. That's what wins you the prize nowadays.

A DiskWorld reference. We should use the powerful wizard, Ricewind, to eliminate the threat. See, I have corks hanging from my hat.
Remember, its "I before E, except after C"
there are a lot of really smart people who can't remember this rule. Einstein really had a problem with it.
Look honey, I bought us a new dining room table. Take a look at what it can do. Why aren't you eating, aren't you hungry?

Think along the lines of going to a doctors office, and getting a shot specifically designed on the spot to wipe out all of your specific diseases.

Maybe they were able to break into it because (dun dun dun) they wrote it!
Isn't that how things work in all those lousy movies with some kind of computer virus in them.
Or that Mac virus can infect alien computers
Just how big of a rocket do you need to go from one movie studio lot to another?
