How much battery power is consumed in producing the sloshing noise to tell me how much battery power is left?
And if you have unread messages while checking the battery power will you get balls sloshing around in the liquid? And would the smaller messages float?
This concept has been bandied about for use as a 'sonic weapon.' Here and here have some details.
The bowel movement is not the main 'thrust' of the argument for weaponry use however as a high percentage of soldiers soil themselves in combat anyway.
I cannot recall actually accusing you of anything, so I'll assume you have something to hide that you feel guilty about.;)
I was merely posting a facetious remark to the previous comment.
However, I consider myself respectfully taken issue with.
I would challenge you to step outside, but there's probably a 10,000 miles between us and it's currently raining here.

You mean you aren't interested in buying the photos of the moon taken by the father of the Slashdotter who posted the link about the telescope that was one of many built by the guy who discovered Pluto?
As this article shows, it isn't just a question of virus writers targeting largest market share.
Yes, if everyone switched then there would be far more non-Windows viruses (Or virii, if you want, nip that linguistic flame-war in the bud right now), but that isn't to say that the alternatives are only more secure due to the lack of targeting.
Beautifully stated, but misses the point entirely. Automated processes replacing manual labour is technical progression. That's a harsh summation I know, so apologies to all the highly-skilled hands-on people I've just offended.
The issue here is about creativity, not technical progression of manual tasks. The issue here is that people are taking something they want without replenishing the creative source in order to enable them to make more of the same in the future... or should that be make more that is different. If we want more of the same, we always have Pop Idol.
Does this mean I am waving the banner for the RIAA? Not at all, but the analogy of manual labour replacing human beings on automated tasks in this instance is flawed.
We're talking about taking the creativity out of the hands of the corporate leeches and into the hands of some system that fairly pays creatives to stay creative without blanket taxing humanity.
As for the answer, I admit I do not have one to hand, but I'm sure many other people here have one;)
If someone claims to be doing a survey, they will have to post the results. So any marketeers thinly veiling a sales push as a survey will end up with these results:
we asked people what they thought of our products.
96% said 'this is just a thinly veiled sales push, now **** off!'
2% didn't know
1% didn't think our products justified war with Iraq
1% said 'Cowboy Neal, is that you?'

An old man will arise, on his hands too much time
in predicting the future, he'll make it all rhyme
he'll write so much garbage, no-one bothers with reading
making it easy for pranksters to invent things misleading
like infinite monkeys with shakespearean play
something is bound to match up on some day
so much will he write, it'll be hit and miss
and no-one will twig that he's taking the piss

Isn't that just the beauty of slashdot, someone starts a pissing contest and we end up quoting Joyce.

Now we need a stone one, a gold one and a meat one.
cue 'back to stone tablets' joke.
As for the meat one, cue biotech jokes, sexual jokes and Fifth Element quotes.
So where's the thread?
Thread's dead, baby.
