Third, punish student file sharers appropriately. Put a large police force (let's call it the KGB for short) in all universities, public places, high schools etc. Send convicted criminals to - well, somewhere unpleasant. I'm sure the Russians would lease the Kuril islands, or even parts of Siberia. *gasp!* What, outsource?!?
Well, if Nicky Hilton goes to this vault with her sister, we've got *two* pairs right there. And lots of people have come in those pairs. Really, I can't see how keeping a sphere in Paris will keep it safe. It's going to keep being jostled about when the visitors come.
Haha. Love the Douglas Adams reference. Such a lead-in, too!
Seriously, though, photons of anywhere near visible frequencies won't displace the atoms; light bouncing is almost always a purely electronic transition thing. And if this thing is ultrapure silicon, atoms are NOT going to want to displace. No worries there.
Seriously, though, if Bush were The Mule, you'd think he'd have instilled a little more emotional support of himself. Maybe he's just The Mule along party lines. Ohhhhh, I get it. Clever!

Your message is written with such a serious tone, and I'll bite.
Do a slashdot search for any of the following terms, and you'll quickly be drawn into threads about why :
* GIMP;
* CMYK;
* Plugin xXx will do what you're looking for;
* But it won't do it in 32-bit colour with customized colourmap support unless you compile it yourself and since I use gentoo I'm still waiting for KDE to finish compiling;
* Yur momma is teh BOM in bed;
* Hitler used Photoshop;
* Suck a cock and die.
I always read those threads, mainly because I am interested in German history and human psychology. I couldn't give a rat's ass about Photoshop or graphic design.
That doesn't mean that humans can't be teleported, though; the receiver would simply keep a stock of raw materials such as carbon, hydrogen, calcium and oxygen atoms out of which to reconstruct the person. Whoo. I can just see the teleporters costing about $50 each, and the inkjet cartridges which go in them being, well, a bit more.
So you don't know this game is already out, or anything about any MMO ever created... but because a bonehead has the ability to spellcheck and use proper English, it is an AMAZING REVIEW!!!1!1eleventy! I'll bite. Actually, compared to most of the game reviews on this site, it wasn't embarassingly riddled with mistakes. I was just hoping that other people could take a clue and try to actually, you know, communicate with their audiences.
P.S. Both of the MUDs I mentioned are MMOs. They just aren't graphical. Suck it, Trebek.
I haven't played the game, or even knew it was coming out. I've never actually played a graphical ORPG (Valhalla or Discworld MUDs, anyone?), so I'm not entirely sure what has to be mentioned and compared to other MMORPGs. This having been said, the review seemed well-written, _spellchecked_, and even had commas in the right place. Pretty much a pleasure to read. Well-done, Zonk! I'll let others bitch about the favorable comments.
If MS put AV in Vista there would be loud cries of "unfair competition, you're taking away our niche!" and we'd be on another round of anti-MS propaganda. I've always thought there's a huge disconnect between the way most computer users think, and the way people think who'd bitch about that "unfair competition". The operative word in the quoted statement above is "our". Those people constituting the "our" group are much, much less important than the regular computer users.
I, being one of those "most computer users", think that however Windows is secured is just fine by me, as long as it doesn't limit _too_ much of the functionality. I don't give a damn if they do it by making a fundamentally more secure OS, or if they include some shizznit AV which puts Panda or (shudder) Norton out of business. I just want my data to be secure and my OS un-bogged-down by nasties.
I *do* find the concepts of viruses, computer security, and things like heuristic scanning to be tremendously interesting, along with the success of such "free" AV programs as Avast! and AVG, but that interest pales a bit when compared to the interest I'd have in a secure Windows.
Anyway, *I* won't bash MS for somehow supplying some sort of secure OS, even if lots of people lose AV jobs because of it. As it is, we're paying a sort of tax in the form of AV software to keep these people working anyway.
Of course, I know it'll be many, many moons (if ever) that MS comes out with a relatively "secure" system, so the point is somewhat moot.
I'd think that actually talking to the telemarketers would most quickly and definitively classify one as completely insane. So I suspect the term should be "pseudo-insane", or maybe "batshit wacko".
I am far more worried about our salesmen plugging in their lap top in some hotel network in Bangkok, pick up an infection and coming to corporate HQ and plug that laptop in our intranet, behind the firewall, in the trusted network. Wow. You kids these days and your descriptions of the clap!

Oh, fangirls are totally OK (if slightly apocryphal). It's the fanboys we're being annoyed with at the moment. Right, guys?

Because I, as an unfeeling metal monster, can answer them all more accurately than you puny humans. Bleep-blorp.

You might try it again. That's one project which seems to move along quite quickly.
It always has kind of looked like an O-face.

That's cool. I just shone a UV light on that pic, and saw all sorts of blobs of fluorescing areas.
Hm, then again, this *is* my brother's monitor, and he usually uses it to surf questionable sites late at night...
Discussion? More like a monologue ;)
And the public thought that "Moebius Strip", though it sounded fun at first, hinted too much at something German.
