I like the way my cum tastes. I jerk off with my left hand and catch the ejaculate on my thumb and forefinger. I usually give it a sniff, then slurp most of it down. If any remains on my hand, I lick it off, and if any has landed on my belly, I use my index finger to scrape it off. Then I go into the bathroom and wipe off the remainder with toilet paper - and I make sure to flush it. No need to keep it around to stink up the joint.
It was fun having karma

That IBM ad is pretty ugly. But I'm glad/. got the pageview. Should it count more or less whan I'm drunk? Does it make a greater or lesse impact on my subconscious?

Fuckin' A! I was a sprout in a town that played that game in the woods...but we moved when I was six. Paintball came along, but not 'til I'd moved again, at 12. Man, I wonder if I'd be the pussy I am today if I'd honed my skills / pain threshold against compressed-gas powered projectiles.
I'm sure you know what RTFA mans, right? (I'll give you a hint if you need it. It is similar to RTFM) From the article
And even allowing for all that, there is also the small matter of
Sony Corporation. The company has already warned the German duo against using its logo and made threatening noises regarding the use of the name if the pair ever wanted to commercialize their product.
An earlier suggestion of using mod_gzip to compress pages before transmission is a great idea to reduce server bandwidth by nearly an order of magnitude. This should be implemented as a matter of urgency imho.
Questions Metaliman asks: How much bandwidth does slashdot use in a day? CmdrTaco 12-20 megabits on the main box. probably half thta on the images box. Less since we started gzipping. we were spiking at like 35 total. next?

In this comment, Micah suggested "...mod_gzip works wonders on Slash based sites, so I have no idea why they don't use it here."
To which CowboyNeal replied "We already use it. It's a noticeable amount of bandwidth that we save, but it's far from half"

So you see, you had the right idea, but were beaten to the punch.
Actually, I kinda like the metaphor, even though it's far from perfect. British Empire as Microsoft, newly formed United States as Linux...people all over the world contributed, yet bent to the will of those in charge (Congress / Judiciary / Executive vs Linus, Alan Cox, etc).
The Americans needed / wanted more room, so they killed the Indians (BeOS, etc). Every so often British would pay off some Indians to fight the Americans. This tactic would gain some ground, but the Americans were capable of fending off these attacks. Then came the Civil War (code forking), which ended with everyone back on the same side, kinda (code merging), but with distrust all around.
And in the end, folks, Britian and the US made peace and became allies.
Thanks, no. Sure, I'm lazy, but that doesn't concern me. Windows works for me. Linux doesn't. Windows is coherent. Linux is nitpicky. I understand that it can be done. I don't give a shit about possibilities. I want actualities.
Give me a fucking clipboard and I will abandon Windows NOW
They mention the need for plugin AMD compilers

The article suggests that AMD write / release native compilers that plug into Visual Studio...which would be a good thing for MS programmers. Simple enough to say.
I just wanted a lead-in for the following question: Did anyone else see a banner ad for Visual Studio.NET on Slashdot yesterday? Or was I hallucinating?
Because with a rotating surface, up is always up. Remember, they are constantly reconditioning the surface. However, with a belt, appx. 1/2 of the surface would be upside-down at any given time. This would make it difficult (impossible?) to use snow as the ski medium.
Funny you bring this up. When I was very young, my family lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina. My father was a technician at with the Tactical Warfare Simulation group...my older sister and mother used to go dumpster-diving for MREs that the troops threw away...when in the field, they'd have people deliver McDonalds, and ditch the rations.
I love the Marines - I think it was wasteful, but a hell of an example of creative foraging. And it kept us from starving.

The version of DB2 that I downloaded (for Windows) was limited to a 90 day trial.
Now that the slashdotting has passed, the mirror has been taken down.
Yes indeed...I clicked on the Visual Studio .NET ad a few days back.

Ok.
But I'm so fragile and fickle that I just may switch back...
