He never said anything about the guy 'putting them back', you fabricated that one all by yourself.
When the cops showed up [at the store] he was busy putting away[^H^H^H^H back on the shelves] all the stuff he had just walked out with.

I'm pretty sure you have no clue what a 'zen koan' actually is.
From Wikipedia:
A koan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement in the history and lore of Zen Buddhism, generally containing aspects that are inaccessible to rational understanding, yet may be accessible to intuition.
I think GP got it about right, in that GGP's post was not quite complete enough to warrant rational understanding, but, with varying perspective, could be taken a number of ways.
What the hell are we supposed to do with a 20 GB download limit?
Somehow Canada missed the boat with Unlimited download/upload.
On Rogers it is unlimited, essentially
Just get the next-step-down version (which is about $20 cheaper/month), and download all you want.
Overusage charges cap out @ $25/month, beyond that there's no degradation to service, they just stop charging you.
The only drawback is slightly slower max downstream bandwidth.
Defy God, he sends plagues of locusts.
One would think that after this many years of Old-Testament vengeance wrought upon them that they'd change their tune.
An LCD? Fuck that try a CRT with the resolution cranked all the way down because your eyes stopped focusing 6 hours ago.
Definitely a CRT, but one of the ones with those phosphor-green monochromatic tubes.
Nothing like having your characters stay on the screen for 3 seconds after you ^H
And the boot time of a PC can be considerable eating man-hours of billable time even for a small company.
That's why TFA mention having the power management software power on the computers before the employees show up for work and power them off at the end of the day.
My system at work takes about 30s to get to a login prompt. This is the amount of time that would be saved by a WOL or PM-based solution to turn my PC on before I get to work.
It still takes nearly 5 minutes for the network-drives to map, and for me to get fundamental tools (browser, terminal, lotus, intra-office IM client) loaded.
In reality, not too much time would be saved by powering up my computer for me (which I usually do while taking off my jacket and turning off my MP3 player, so that by the time I sit down I'm at a login prompt)
Sounds like a great idea at first but I strongly recommend we consider the effect of that energy NOT entering the Earth's crust.
Why?
From TFA, the bent laser creates a plasma-conduit of sorts for the charge in the atmosphere (which previously would discharge as lightning, somewhat erratically) to follow to the ground.
Essentially it would create an instantaneous (albeit short-lived) lightning-rod that reaches directly to the clouds, thereby negating any chance that lightning would "strike" anywhere but the laser.
Once a significant charge is detected in the atmosphere as to signal further lightning, the laser would be fired again to discharge the atmosphere.
What about the thousands of other fans who already bought the hardcover versions of the various sourcebooks and campaign material that they downloaded?
That system won't handle h.264 at 1080p.
It'll struggle with it at 720p even, unless rendering an uncompressed stream (i.e. not Matroska or Xvid-compressed).

...it's an expensive monthly subscription ...
I'd hazard a guess that cancelling your subscription would put you in a worse-off position that continuing to pay for it.

If you're stealing customers from your girlfriend...can I have her number?
You want him to steal you too?
An analogy, in quake w/ tcp code you would hump an invisible wall when lagged, but with udp you would teleport through the wall.
There, fixed that for you
Dont forget the inertial dampeners!!!
Why? FTFA, the theory is that you move space-time, not the ship.
As the ship isn't actually moving, there is no inertia which would require dampening.
Which is why your parent said to rip off the screen or drill a few [vent] holes through it [the screen].
Holy crap, are those guys playing pickup games on the weekend technically LARPing?
No... they're not rolling the dice to see if they actually complete the pass or dodge the tackle.

Ninjas who also come disguised as Navy SEAL's with sniper rifles.
Why disguise them as anything? Disguises only matter if you can actually see the target.
You can't see ninjas, they're invisible.

My six-year old son likes Ubuntu so much that he writes his name in that roundy Ubuntu lettering.
If you haven't installed it already, ttf-ubuntu-title allows you to use that font
How does he install it on his son, though?
I have posted the first micro-comment capable of delivering micro-information over the micro-Internet at micro-speeds.
Let me guess, noone saw it?
In your next life, try using broadband....
Yes, yes... thank you
At the time I was trying to think about the equivalent, but completely forgot abConnection reset by peer
How about "Albatross" for the station?
Can't do that. That's one of the names they're giving to the mass-drivers they're putting in geo-synchronous orbit above Afghanistan and North Korea.
Not sure how many years that kind of stress takes out of your life though.
7; I do it all the time.
By my estimation I've about 5 seconds of life lef[NO CARRIER]
While she was working away, half a dozen guys in full hazmat suits came in.
Sounds like the beginning of an interesting porno...
Real-life tentacle porn?
"Tweaking the code"? We don't do that in a production environment, do we?
I'm guessing you've never worked in a production environment.
Worse, obviously. Unless the US flew in Barbara Streisand - then all bets are off.
Barbara Streisand is harmless unless she's in possession of both halves of the triangle.
In that case, all bets are off
like playing your starters against their backups.
Could you change that into a car analogy? Thanks!
Like car-theives waiting until you've filled your gas tank to steal your car
Yep: they've been watching those Harry Potter movies, and they've figured out a way to cast DRM spells on their books...
Why would they get their spells from Harry Potter? D&D has had magic since long before Harry Potter has.
