How about crashing the ship into a planet? Hold up, that's been done. How about ramming it into an enemy ship? No wait... What about a phasing cloak where it gets stuck in an...no, dammit! Uh, time travel...assimilation...green animal women... Oh, the hell with it.
I have a copy of NAV 2005 and I run LiveUpdate almost daily. I just ran it again and all it did was download a new virus definition. How can I tell if it's patched or not?
Employees have even started using different headphones to be a bit more stealthy about it.
I have an iPod and I use different headphones because the ones included aren't very comfortable. They don't sound that great either. As great (and expensive) as the iPod is, it should include better headphones.
I saw this story on Fark and for spite, everyone told their most offensive lawyer joke.
The easily offended should stop reading now.
A priest and a lawyer are walking down the street together when a young boy crosses their path. The priest says "hey, you wanna screw that boy?" To which the lawyer replies, "Out of what?"
Whenever the feds bust in, the computer can blend in with the background and hide itself.
original KaZaA had spyware, right?

P2P vs. The Clones

· Score: 2, Insightful
"Rebranding software then loading it with spyware and adware (or just selling it for profit) has become a recent trend with oversea individuals trying to make a few bucks. We all remember the KaZaA Gold, don't we?"
Doesn't the original KaZaA client have it's own spyware? I don't see a reason to cry over someone robbing a company of spyware revenue in favor of their own spyware revenue. Now, if someone robs the client to remove the spyware altogether (like KaZaA Lite supposedly did), I'm all for that.
The Pumpkins, as I understand it, pushed Machina II out on P2P because Virgin were not interested in putting out another record in a similar vein after Machina I had done so poorly ( hell with that, I thought it was great. )
I seem to remember an interview where Billy said they wanted Virgin to release Machina as a double album, but the record execs were fearful because of the poor sales of the Pumpkins' previous record, Adore. So they took 15 of the tracks and made Machina, but rather than let the rest of them set on the shelf, Corgan & Co gave them to friends and asked them to distribute them over the internet. Personally, I think the original Machina would have done better if it had included "Let Me Give the World To You" and "Cash Car Star", but I think Billy wanted the tracks that were most important to the Glass + the Machines of God story.
I agree with you that Machina was a great record. My personal favorite from the Pumpkins (whom I still consider my favorite band.) Ditto on that remix bummer too.

Someone needs to invent a violent game customized to the player's life. The setting would be the player's work or neighborhood--anywhere he/she would want to slaughter a lot of people they hate in whatever ways they find satisfying.
In my case, I work in an electronics store with plenty of rude, clueless people who seem to enjoy bringing their offspring into the place and let them scream like nazguls until they decide not to buy anything and leave.
I want a game where I can kill these assholes with large blunt objects wrapped in barbed wire or some type of flame-throwing chainsaw. Then at the end of the level, I get to cook and eat their children. Now, that's a video game!
I hear about stuff like this and I feel a bit relieved that modern music is getting worse. More and more untalented "singer" models are making albums as popstars when they would be more fitting as pornstars...ala Christina Aguilera and Briteny Spears. Even Paris Hilton is recording a record (gag!) The percent of untalented, uncreative, uninspiring garbage that is being released is getting higher and higher. Today's so-called "artists" have a shorter shelf-life than a carton of milk.
By the time, the bottom-feeding record execs get our government-for-hire to outlaw filesharing completely, there won't be any music I'll want to download.
Non-techies that use Mozilla assume it's 'safe' because a geek once told them that this is the case.
I've always told people that Mozilla is much safer. Which it is by most people's standards, but I never imply that it is completely, impenetrably safe.
I'm sick of hearing lazy, uneducated parents bitch about the inconvience of explaining things like sex and swear-words to their kids. If you don't like having that responsibility, maybe you shouldn't have gotten knocked up in the first place. Stop putting the burden of your demonseed on the rest of us.
Besides, the television is not a suitable replacement for a parent, though someone will have to point out to me how it's much worse than the lazy breeders who try to pass off the raising of their spawn to everyone else. If you're trying to mold mainstream media into something that can raise your kids, you need to protect your children from yourself.
Pry your brat away from the TV and maybe read a book to it instead...if you can read.
I suspect the number of American scientists will not be growing. Young people in the States are taught to idolize singers/rappers, movie stars, and sports players not scientists or people of above-average intelligence.
"Look kids! An American scientist just discovered a way to make low cost energy in near limitless amounts. Isn't he a hero?"
I was just trying to convey that true intelligent should be eqauted with problem-solving, not being a database of trivial knowledge. Anyone can store information, but intelligence is (should be) measured by how you use it.
Most of it is useless trivia, but to most people, that comes across as intelligence
Yeah, I've always had a problem with that. "Ooh. Him answer every question in Potpourri category. Him smart!" Give this guy a trig problem and let's see how smart he is.
I'll equate intelligence with game shows when someone starts the $100,000 Cold Fusion Pyramid.:)

It's an acronym. Privacy And Tolerance Reside In Other Territories...not this one.)
