...How do these people feel about radio waves whizzing through their bodies at the speed of sound? Even if they don't use radios etc because "that Eminem chap swears", the actual transmission zaps through them regardless!
I, for one, would be very interested to hear that there radio waves passing through me at the speed of sound.
Any reason for this? I use Kopete and won't claim it's the greatest ever, but I like it. What don't you like?
My only real complaint is that I can't see a way to do away messages longer than one line (not a big deal, though), and that coming back from away leaves the auto-respond message up. Minor annoyances, maybe even just options I haven't found the switch for.
I got my Tech class when I was 16, and was a ARRL member and a member of the Motor City Radio Club. I'm 22 now and still (rarely, I admit, but then I ahve a job and am a college student...) get on the 2 meter repeater around here now and then.
I know I'm a minority in ham radio, but I'm not the only one. I've known people younger than me in it. It's now dying out any time soon.
You're saying that you couldn't tell what "one half of four" means? Not trying to be a jerk, I just don't understand where any confusion might come in, seems plain to me.
Happen to have a link to anything on that college? Sounds like it'd be really interesting to read about. I could google/yahoo it, but you broke Web Law by not providing a link or even college name:)
In the photo, anyone else notice a mysterious yellow-looking cable going to the back of that "wirelessly connected" laptop? Am I seeing things, or am I right to be very amused?
Reminds me of "Souls In The Great Machine", a book I read a little while ago. In it, a giant computer is made in a similar way that this describes, sort of, although not all the components are there voluntarily.
If you want to make an impression, do it with your speech, do it with what you're presenting. No one cares if you can use pretty pictures, and no one with a brain will be impressed. Write your presentation well, and they just might.
Funny thing is, I've met gay scouts when I was one (a scout, not a gay scout:P). It's like any other place: Some groups are accepting of it, and just say "eh, he's a decent guy, who cares", and other people are bothered by it.
I suspect the religious connections in scouts are why there's that offical anti-gay thing, but offical and practice are two differant things.
I was thinking the same, too. I'd guess everyone gets a number (like a phone number), and maybe you could specify that if a "Mr. Smith" is requested from your badge specifically, it means Mr. Smith with the number 32474-3424, not the other one. Or, you could specify with the number directly.
Beats me, really, I just thought of that in a couple seconds as the seemingly simplest way.

I haven't seen it mentioned yet - there's yet another project out there with similar aims: http://noserub.com/

Uh, excuse me, I think you mean "anal". :)
It's a regular expression. In a nutshell:
s/ORIGINAL/REPLACEMENT/
For a given text with that applied, the string "ORIGINAL" is replaced by "REPLACEMENT". There's more to it, but that's all you need to get the joke.
Here's the Perldoc page on them, if you're interested.

I could be wrong, but I think you're probably thinking of Fahrenheit 451, rather than 1984.
Not trying to be picky or anything, just figured I mention it.

I'd like to thank the school district for reminding me to send in my yearly donation/membership dues to the ACLU. Thanks!

And I have a hard time understanding why people play games that are just a little car driving in loops. To each their own, eh?

I think he meant Hitler The Dictator, not Hitler The Soldier (He was in World War One, but as a Corporal or something like that).
Well, for what it's worth, I created both a username and neighborhood, and never saw an error (other than my username was too short - 4 characters).

It's a parody sort of thing, making fun of the excessive acronyms.
...Well, it amuses me anyway.
I'll demonstrate:
OMG U DIDN'T NO WOT IT MEANS! OMG LOL LMAO BBQ
See? Funny!
If I remember correctly, when the account hasn't recieved any email for X hours, it's deleted, but for as long as it's getting email, it's there.
So yeah, use something like jj342873402@mailinator.com, and you have better odds, I suppose.
I think individual emails are deleted based on their time stamp as well, too, but then again, you could just read the page, since they explain this...
For this, Mailinator is perfect.
Which presents one obvious conclusion, of course.

The last generation were weaklings, and we need less sleep.
If you'll excuse me now, I have to drink a 6-pack of Coke. That annoying yawn is returning...
Probably not far off, really.
There's a lot of cash in porn, and if can be used for it, it will be. I'd be surprised if it's not used that way.
Books are still plain text (mostly), and don't need color, and like with most technology - just wait a year or two.

Irrelevant! Resistance is irrelevant!
:P
What kind of geek are you!?
