You have to watch those guys. One day they're innocently printing email so that managers will be able to read it, the next they're urgently requesting your assistance in confidential financial matters.
Nearly all of the "conspiracy theorists" I've spoken to online aren't actually conspiracy theorists, but seem to actually be paranoid fantasists.
That's because the ones who really know what's going on know that you can't keep your mouth closed, and don't talk to you.
Really, if you're going to try to keep up with conspiracy theorists you should learn to think like one. No matter how weird things get, there's always an explanation for everything that can be used to support your thesis.
The obvious way to improve it would be to move the microphone and speaker to the side, and maybe change the shape to be more like a taco and less like a phone book.
Well, Bad Analogy Guy is kind of like a car. And the radio only gets two stations on AM, but there's an eight track with a copy of "Journey's Greatest Hits" stuck in it. If you look at it that way then this discussion is something like an eight hour drive from Tulsa, OK to one of the Portlands. I can't remember which one, but it's eight hours away by car. Now the car has wood grain paneling on the right side and some kind spray-on granite countertop on the left, so the driver can lean out of the window and chop tomatoes as long as the passenger leans over to take the wheel.
The rest of us are the two pedigreed schnoodles sitting in the back seat, trying to eat bacon and egg sandwiches.
The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
Since it violates one of the key elements of the definition of Open Source this is not an Open Source license, and clearly _not_ a Free/Libre Open Source Software license.
I think it may even violate Wheaton's First Rule, the one about being a dick, but I can't prove that empirically.
They're nerfing rouges flash crash ability! It's obvious that the SEC all play rangers and paladins.
That's it. I'm quitting the game, and taking all eighteen thousand members of my guild with me. And then we're going to start a class action lawsuit, complain to the BBB and start up our own stock exchange. With blackjack, and hookers.
That'll show those lame devs at the SEC that we won't put up with any more of their crap.
(Unless, you know, they come out with an expansion or something.)
Nov 21 - I did a dumb thing today I forgot I wasnt in Miss Kinnians class at the adult center any more like I use to be. I went in and sat down in my old seat in the back of the room and she lookd at me funny and she said Charlie where have you been. So I said hello Miss Kinnian Im redy for my lessen today only I lossed the book we was using.
They outlawed tinfoil years ago because it was too effective. Unless you're willing to settle for government-approved aluminium foil hats, which don't do a thing to block mind control rays, you'll have to do what I do. Dig up raw cassiterite from the back woods, smelt it in the barn and make your own tinfoil by smashing what comes out with a rock until it's thin enough.
While you're doing this, don't forget to drink only grain alcohol and rain water to protect yourself from the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.
How else do you think Chrome gets to be so fast? The Chocolate Factory knows your entire browsing history so it just pre-loads your favourite pages before you even realize that you want them. Why shouldn't it keep track of your favourite kinds of porn, offshore gambling web sites, and that hotmail.com email address that you thought you were keeping to yourself?

The part where the people are tearing the arms off of bears.
"People working together share information by talking to one another. Productivity rises. Film at 11."
It's great that they are able to use words to communicate, but this isn't exactly a new concept.

What's next? Printers downloading copyrighted material through p2p networks? Those things are a menace!

I haven't been this shocked since Woodward and Bernstein were taken off of President Nixon's Christmas card list.

Side Talkin' never went out of style.

Does that answer your question?
Um...
1-(3/(2*24*365))=0.999828...
And nobody ever promised that there would be five consecutive nines. Just that there would be five of them.
Don't worry, I'm sure there's an app for that.
The fix, of course, will be to prevent iPhones from being accessible from Ubuntu.
If Steve Ballmer is giving it, wouldn't that make it the WWDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDC keynote?
My first thought was "I guess all the good names for phone companies were already taken."
If they switched the second and third letters around their logo could be a rabbit sitting down and reading a newspaper.
I expect that the cause of that decision could be found somewhere in layer 9 of the OSI model.
I think that the Supreme Court may have something to say about that.
They could call it Vanilla Ice Cream if they wanted to, but that wouldn't make them right.
Free Software is, by definition, Free. If it's not Free, then lying about what "Free" means isn't going to change that.
And the amazing thing is that you didn't doubt for a moment that that was a serious proposition.
It's like entire nations suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.
By passing a bill outlawing oil spills, naturally.

I think the correct phrase is "but that would eliminate _only_ half the web".

Is Australia _that_ short of porn that they need to resort to this? Surely there must be an easier way.

No, I'm pretty sure that when you wipe an iPhone it starts up the MP3 player and sings Daisy Bell.
