If it got too good you'd never be able to pretend it wasn't you.
Dave: "For cry'n out loud Steve, what the hell did you eat!?" Nose 9000: "Sorry Dave, it wasn't Steve, I have traced the odor trail back to your buttocks." Dave: "What? How!?" Nose 9000: "Even though you tried to fan it and walk away from it I was able to pinpoint the sound too."
the contents of the blue bins are apparently sent to the patent office.
Then I guess if I worked for Amazon they'd be submitting a patent application for "An old newpaper with mustard and grease stains." They'd probably get it too.
This kid is amazing. I doubt I could build a helicopter from a kit never mind from odds and ends. Then he teaches himself to fly from reading about it off the web. He has a lot of brains and nerve if you ask me.
When you are poor your standards can be pretty different. Also, being from Nigeria (and its problems) gives him a much higher tolerance for risk than you have. This is a case of "Necessity is the mother of invention."
I hear the MPAA also offered some guy some gold coins if he would head to the Garden of Gethsemane and point out an annoying rabble rouser to the police.
I would like, nay DEMAND, another Christmas special. I want to see Chewbacca trimming the tree and Jar Jar Binks pulling Santa's Landspeeder followed by a Storm Trooper chorus of holiday favorites.
Speaking of airplane toilets, I hope everyone is looking forward to standing in line for an hour to use the loo while some jackass sits in there blabbing away on his/her phone.
This is why I'm wary of using a phone/net/TV combo service. If they screw up (or just decide to screw you) all three services get nailed at the same time. I don't want my phone service being held hostage to my cable tv.
Tell the RIAA that they are using the botnets to pass copyrighted material. Then let them spend their $ attacking them; if they fail we win, if they succeed we win.
Well they also mention online storage but that is more of a economic and trust issue than a technical one. I'm not about to trust my data to a company that could change policies at a whim or go under and take my data along with them. There are also the issues of security, are they backing it up, availability, etc.
pretty soon you'll be able to store all human culture on your wristwatch.
But most people couldn't be bothered to read anything longer than a book chapter. Sort of like putting a banquet in front of someone who just ate. You can only consume so much.
Amazing how much money and effort they are willing to put into this effort. All that to keep a sickly system alive, sort of like painting over rotten wood.
Probably minor variants in the same name or address. Speaking of which, non profits could save themselves a few bucks if they took the time to clean up their fund raising databases. I frequently get doubles from them (minor variations in address).

No, they just look at the check for the patent fee you submit with it.

Will it have an antimicrobial coating for trips to the loo?
I'll take two of whatever you're selling please.

Welcome to the monopolist market economy!

She had to use a hammer because her fists alone couldn't get through their thick skulls.

No, but you could use one partition to remove the rootkit from another partition. Zombie wars!
Guess I'll schedule that defrag for when I'm on vacation.

All those metaphors are like a car that...oh forget it.

You think you are old? I remember asking how'd you ever fill a 60 minute software tape cassette. ;)

Fuck ya! Does this research apply to jobs in daycare or elementary schools? "Ok you little shits, we're having a pop quiz."
Next they'll be saying that sex on your desk is good for productivity. And I'll keep on saying it...
Why didn't they just ask Huggy Bear? He knows what's goin' down with the cats on the street.
Ich weiss nichts!
