I never thought many moons ago I would see someone on TV, and then talk to him many years later on this Internet thing.
I discussed how much I hated some horror movie where his family was getting infected(I can't access IMDB right now). He replied on fark a few posts later how much he hated it as well.
Uh, first mistake. There's some lenghtly disclaimer on the net who makes the correlation that his/her(it's gotta be a her) blogger is no different than a paper diary hidden underneath someone's bed. Wish I could cough up the URL, since it comes off as so pretentious.
Mind you, I find it 100 times easier to read his/her blogger from the comfort of my own home, as opposed to breaking in someone's house and ganking a Teen Girl Squad-like diary.
In my opinion, anyone's public-entry [blogger || lj || dj || diaryland ] is no different than a web page. Sure, you may only intend to write it for your friends("My ex-boyfriend sucks! Tori rules!"), but ANYONE can see it. Make sure you remember that when you reveal personal details about yourself. If a non-friend reads that, you can't accuse him/her of being a stalker when it's there for anyone to read.

It still takes considerable skill and elbow room to design and put the things together so it works. And many of the components laying around aren't in that great of condition, making it even more fun.
Can you download the free divx codec and ad-aware out the spyware? I'm not interested in the spyware associated with the free version, I just want the raw codec.
I heard there's a Quicktime version available. How can one get that? (exact URL please)
Hey, since all these ad hosts accept hotlinking of images(i assume, otherwise lots of ads wouldn't work), we can all do our artwork on our web pages using images from each host, resized down to 1x1 pixel.
Sure, all of the images you make from them will have to be mosaics, but it would an interesting experience, and also kill their bandwidth if your site's popular.
Hold a contest where you make a collage in a table, using only hotlinked images from ad servers. Then submit the link to slashdot for everyone to see your pretty artwork!
I used to frequent alt.mcdonalds to exchange horror stores of working there, and eventually gave up. Why? McSpotlight, some PETA-like hate group hell bent on stopping Ronald McDonald were constantly posting their propaganda, to the point of uselessness.
alt.fan.jennicam is always fun since you're allowed to freely discuss Jennifer Rigley's "life" without her censorship(from either her or her minions) on her own hosted forums.
Truly this is the dawn of a new era of interactive entertainment for Linux. I mean, how can you not be *ahem* bowled over by Bowling USA! [incagold.com] Or if tossing heavy balls is not your thing, then try your hand at every podunk dweller's favorite pastime (not including watching NASCAR) with Paintball Heroes! [incagold.com]
Troy McClure of the Simpsons should be doing radio commercials for this. (you may have seen me in such films as...)
This is wonderful. I can now check several websites and all of them will have the same filler content from the same site(slashdot, memepool, ljdrama.org, wilwheaton.net).
Let's take this one step further and have RSS feeds fed to a cell phone, so I can be updated of freshmeat headlines every minute, on the minute. Never again will I be uninformed of latest developments of command-line driven Linux utilities I have no use for!:)
1. Hack a direct dial voice mail #(after hours business) 2. Record the message "hello??.........Yes I'll accept" 3. Call Long distance operator to do a 3rd party billing for a call, give voice mail # to bill to
The call went through, regardless of the fact that the person calling her, and the person she called both had the same voice.
The only problem is now trying to hook up that really tiny IDE cable to your motherboard. And don't get me started trying to find mounting brackets and screws for it.
If you are talking about the Caterham 7 kit-car, it has even LESS creature comforts, dials, guages, switches, and interior bits than the featured car in this article.:)
I can't believe this. I believe this is the first time I ever clicked on a link from Slashdot within minutes of a story posting without mandatory DNS errors.
Who ever thought AOL could stand up to a Slashdotting, and still get phenomenal transfer rates?
Is AOL the only ISP to ever withstand the slashdot effect?
It seems too many websites out there have mile-long URLs(including huge session ID strings) and other gizmos only to deliver the same static content over and over again.
What ever happened simply to static web pages that are nice and simple, and dish out the data without all that overhead?
Here's my idea for gaming-related ISPs

Have an ISP (cable/DSL) that has gaming servers at the ISP, available to ISP customers only. Charge the customers a little more per month(or make it a seperate fee) to access said servers(tribes, cstrike, whatever) where you would get low pings, playing against other players with low pings. Have a good map rotation, friendly(but fair) admins, and a message board, with local mirrors to download cstrike updates, etc.
Wonder if people would pay for that. The only thing it depends on is a lot of subscribers who want to play the same games.
Some of the screens they show, showing the stats on the Tomohawk missle on FOXNews looks exactly like a videogame, complete with spinning graphic of the missle

Didn't ubisoft make Top Gear Daredevil, one of the worst PS2 games ever? Or were they the ones that made VIP for PSX? That was just awful.
Reminds me of what stand-up comedian DL Hughley said on dating "It's steak, lobster, and dick. No substitutions!"
Later on, George wasn't keeping away so he just picked the darn thing up and ran with it.
The real statistic is to actually have a friend who has a Segway. These things aren't Honda Civics.
Reminds me of the BBS days. Usually a few hours after the SysOp leaves on vacation, the BBS is guaranteed to go down.
Don't forget the other movie that had police surveillance: Blue Thunder. And you could remotely erase the tapes too!

$8-$10 per hour to sit at home and wait for a web-cam shot to analyse?
Ha in S0viet Jennicam, you pay 8-10$ to watch webcam!

Then ATT needs to decide if it costs less to issue a random factory-made default password or to handle the fraud costs.
Here's what I did once.
1. Hack a direct dial voice mail #(after hours business)
2. Record the message "hello??.........Yes I'll accept"
3. Call Long distance operator to do a 3rd party billing for a call, give voice mail # to bill to
