If you have nothing left to lose, and are considering suicide or something similar, why not do the world a favour: kill Darl McBride, while you're at it. Come on, most of us on Slashdot are pathetic human beings, there has to be someone ready to die. Why not bring an evil fucker with you?
He used a better method, though: He deleted everything but win.exe, then tried to run it. When it failed, he monitored what file it was trying to process, and added that from a full installation. Repeat until it boots, and you can do this for any OS.
So, where can I fill out the forms to get the form to propose the possible consideration of suggesting the addition of my own protocol as an optional addition to a protoype candidate to be evaluated as a further proposed possible recommendation to the new standard?
Forcible Darwinization (i.e., testicle removal with a rusty butterknife, and a biaxial penis quadriception, for good measure) of spammers, companies advertizing using them and those who actually buy from those companies is mandatory, under the Freedom from Idiocy Act of 2000. It is every citizen's patriotic duty!
I'd gladly have an minor 'outbreak' of a barely lethal, overhyped disease, confined to a few hospital workers and already sick old people in my city, to get a cheap 'relief' concert from the friggin 'Stones and AC/DC! And, the whole thing was organized by a damned federal senator. Not even Ted Kennedy is that cool!
Yeah, but it's not like you're radiating purposely. With the stereo, yes, you are conciously responsible for the broadcast, but not so with bodyheat. And these security checks are well lit, but I don't think many people would call that much of a violation of privacy. Visible light and x-rays are all just different parts of the EM spectrum.
Besides, I'd be willing to trade a whole load of personal freedom and privacy to bring us just a little closer to the much fantasized x-ray vision. I have to agree with a troll I read a little further up: Natalie Portman! The benefits clearly outweigh the sacrifices.
I'm a lowly bench warming lineman on my high school's football team (still a geek, though). One day, before practice started, I overheard the team's star running back (who's more recently gotten a football scholarship to a major US college) explaining the difference between IP, HTTP and FTP to another jock (good private school, so everybody had some basics). Surprised at his interest, I later asked him about his interest in computers, and he explained it was primarily gaming. And, no, not just the newest, shiny shooters, we discussed 15 hour Civilization (the first 2) binges, and other classics, without the "ooh, shiny!" or "look at those fuggin' intestines splatter!" one would expect of the stereotypical jock. He didn't go so far as Everquest, or Nethack (he did have a life befitting a sports star, after all), but the point is anyone can be a gamer.
A friend played it on his laptop, at school. I fell on my knees and cried. This makes Doom3 look like pong (in graphics, physics, gameplay, and others).
Hey, don't knock the Geek self-advertising. I've worn the Matrix Binary Watch I bought from Thinkgeek for the past year. It's been a great conversation piece with non-nerds, and even (gasp!) girls. Just conversation, though, and only about the watch, but it's better than I was doing.
Star Wars and Tolkien and Matrix, oh my (alternate: online)!
Remember when a single MMORPG (eg, Everquest) could destroy a person's spare time and even their whole life? Now there are 3 of them motherfuckers. My life is officially over. The cyanide pills go down when they announce STO (guess what that stands for), any day now.
Prior to Morrowind, I had serious contempt for anything and everything involved with RPGs or RPG elements. But I fucking loved Morrowind, I wasted my whole winter break playing it non-stop (to the rather severe detriment of my health). I still don't understand the appeal of pencil and paper RPGs, but they don't seem to understand the appeal of NetHack (my next, after Morrowind, and current RPG indulgence), either. Still, it did significantly shange my worldview, though.
When I started playing it, it switched my allegiance from strongly Star Trek to strongly Star Wars. I've since acheived a comfortable geequalibrium between Star Trek, Star Wars and Tolkien.

You need a longer post, or I might have to actually RTFA! Have you no shame?!
I'd think they'd melt, if placed in the sun.
No, that's not what he's saying at all. The blind can't pass the distorted image test, so they clearly aren't people.
Aha, spelling Nazis, now the shoe is on the other foot!
There goes WoW and SC2.
I'd think that this would be a much better simulation package.

What about LCARS? That seems to have worked pretty well (other than the shitty security and occasionally gaining sentience).
I know we're probably supposed to be against this, but this is just really cool. Imagine: four, five, even six-assed monkeys!
Old news, we've known the Enterprise carries 2 CPUs on its 5 year missions since 1967.

HERETIC!!!

Kill me. Kill me now.
