Finally, I can have some peace and quiet on the web. Now that they are getting rid of all of the idiots I have it all to myself...what?...hey, you can't kick me off!
Simple, get rid of your heating systems and reconnect them to your server room. Problem solved!
And if they get hotter you can reconnect your hot water system to your servers too. Just think, a CPU that doubles as a coffee maker. If you want a fresh cup just set the scheduler to run a job to search for prime numbers.
I'm not seeing the obvious "Thought Controled Artificial Penis" jokes yet. Just think how embarrassing it would be to have something like that activating around your friend's hot mom/wife/sister, at work, in the grocery line...

A Hungarian tourist (John Cleese) approaches the clerk (Terry Jones). The tourist is reading haltingly from a phrase book.
Hungarian: "I will not buy this record, it is scratched."
Clerk: "Sorry?"
Hungarian: "I will not buy this record, it is scratched."
Clerk: "Uh, no, no, no. This is a tobacconist's."
Hungarian: "Ah! I will not buy this *tobacconist's*, it is scratched."
Clerk: "No, no, no, no. Tobacco... um... cigarettes." (holds up a pack)
Hungarian: "Ya! See-gar-ets! Ya! Uh... my hovercraft is full of eels."
Clerk: "Sorry?"
Hungarian: "My hovercraft..." (pantomimes puffing a cigarette) "... is full of eels." (pretends to strike a match)
Clerk: "Ahh, matches!"
Hungarian: "Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya! Do you waaaaant... do you waaaaaant... to come back to my place, bouncy-bouncy?"
Clerk: "Here, I don't think you're using that thing right."
Hungarian: "You great poof."
Clerk: "That'll be six and six, please."
Hungarian: "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me? I... I am no longer infected."
Clerk: "Uh, may I, uh..." (takes phrase book, flips through it) "... Costs six and six... ah, here we are." (speaks weird Hungarian-sounding words)
Hungarian punches the clerk. Meanwhile, a policeman (Graham Chapman) on a quiet street cups his ear as if hearing a cry of distress. He sprints for many blocks and finally enters the tobacconist's.
Cop: "What's going on here then?"
Hungarian: "Ah. You have beautiful thighs."
Cop: (looks down at himself) "WHAT?!?"
Clerk: "He hit me!"
Hungarian: "Drop your panties, Sir William; I cannot wait 'til lunchtime." (points at clerk)
Cop: "RIGHT!!!" (drags Hungarian away by the arm)
Hungarian: (indignantly) "My nipples explode with delight!"
Sony fucked me on the th-55 first. I died. I sent it in for repairs the fuckers at the repair shop fuck it up. They say its not their fault and refused to honor the warranty. How the fuck can it not be covered? It died, i put it in a box and that is all I did. Some tech at the repair shop fucked it and covered his ass. That's what happened.
I agree. Rutherford was an ass for doing his gold foil experiment. He had no idea he was going to find atomic nuclei. It was a waste of money to do research based just on theory.
Hide? How? Put a big blanket over the earth? Stop producing radio signals? Almost all of the SETI projects have been passive searches. They are looking for THEIR signals, not trying to contact them. Seeing as it is light years to even the closest stars trying to communicate is a bit of a problem. And if they have the ability to travel across light years of space then I'd hazard a guess that they can also pick up our radio/microwave noise which is already out there.
It is a good thing they cracked down on Take Two. If you don't push lawsuits like this the next thing you know kids will be able to find porn on the internet.
I bought some halva, baba ganoush, and pita bread recently. I guess I should expect a knock on the door soon.
The whole FBI story sounds like they are trying to generate a boogey man where there is none (gotta keep that budget fat!). Iran and Hezbollah's focus isn't global but regional. If they have agents in the US it would most likely be for political or for fund raising reasons, not terrorism. They might carry out an attack if we attacked Iran but that wouldn't exactly come as a surprise.
I hope our relations with Italy never sour. I'd hate to be put on the no fly list for buying olive oil and prosciutto.
This is an April Fools prank, right? I've been asleep for a few months and now the joke's on me. Ha ha! Very funny. It is a joke, right? Right? Please say it's a joke.
You're right. The problem now is that people now have a cost of living in many areas (or lifestyle) that requires two incomes. Costs have adjusted to two income households. So now if one partner has a long term health problem or loses a job they are up shit creek.
My favorite is when both parents work and they pay for daycare that is frequently so expensive that it cancels out one parent's income. I have to wonder why they are bothering to work just pay to have a stranger raise their toddler.
So based on your logic since antibiotics don't work 100% of the time we shouldn't use them? If you feel the need to wear a safety belt you are a failure as a driver?
Some kids need things like this, they can't help themselves. I knew not to do dumb things when I was a kid but I still did dumb things. Was it my parent's fault? No, kids will ALWAYS do dumb things because they simply don't know better or need to find out for themselves. Some things, like gun cabinets, are just too dangerous to let them experiment. You can teach them gun safety until their ears bleed but they'll still want to play with them.
People here will give parents grief if they use this limiter "If they were good parents they shouldn't need technological tools to parent!" and grief if they don't "Just use the timer to control your kids you lazy parent!".

You disagree with him so that makes him corrupt? You have no proof he is corrupt but I have a strong case that you are guilty of libel.

Wait until China starts exporting hot dogs. *shudder*

I suggest you invent a new form of crack cocaine after leaving.

You are stretching the spirit of the word "diplomat" in that case.
Aren't these the lyrics to an NWA rap?
At least it is a good way to avoid the credit card dept trap that so many people seem to fall into.
Time to go back to using cash.

I thought they attacked us until they caught a virus?

Like most Americans, I'm concerned about robots. That's why I have Old Glory Insurance coverage.
and, ummm....is the effect stronger if you grind them up and inject them? Just curious

I'll be publishing a strategy guide for Progress Quest shortly. "Chapter One, leave your computer on all night."
My father is nerdier. He has MS Flight Simulator to keep him glued in place. "Hold on, I have to set the autopilot..."
I have one of those too, it's called my wife. "Honey, come to bed. You can shoot more strangers online tomorrow."
