PHB: What's that you're doing?
Me: Err... I'm hexediting the new project, just working out a couple of bugs.
Me: There's one!
PHB: Nice work! I should give you a raise!
Me: How 'bout an office with a door?
PHB: No, people play games if I can't see them working.
Me: I guess that's a good point. I should get back to my work...
was *your* e-mail stamped with the originating phone number at the top of each page?
If you can convince a judge that an email is a fax, you can convince one that an email address is a phone number. The rules look nice, if mail headers count as such a margin.
Under United States law, it is unlawful "to use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement" to any "equipment which has the capacity (A) to transcribe text or images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone line onto paper.
Oh for fuck's sake! Anytime someone gets some money, we have "1) Do what they did 2) ??? 3) Profit! AND NOW WE NO WAT STEP 2 IS OMMUG LOL". Every story where there's no money is "1) Do what they did 2) ??? 3) Profit! AND WHAT'S TEH SECOND STAGE??? OMMUG ROFL". I guess when you can't tell whether there was money it'll be "1) Whatever the story's about, I was too busy posting crap to read it 2) ! 3) PROFIT??? HAHA I MADE JOKE!!!11". It's getting old, really.

One of these is 1,260 days, which Newton interpreted as 1,260 years, based on a day-per-year principle... Newton determined that 1260 date actually began in 800 AD. He then added 1260 to 800 to arrive at the date of 2060 for the Apocalypse.
PROOF THAT NEWTON IS EVIL:
N-E-W-T-O-N = 14+5+23+20+15+14 = 91
Add this to the date of his death (1727): 1818
Flip this upside down: 8181.
Take away the year of his birth (1642): 6539
Add GRAVITY (7+18+1+22+9+20+25=102): 6641
Add 10 (newton had ten fingers): 6651
Gravity is an inverse square law, operating in three dimensions so multiply by the inverse square of 3: 739.
Subtract his age when he died (85): 654
Add 24/3, the date this story was published if you're british (which he was): 662.
Finally, add the number of laws of motion he created (3): 665.
I remember a joke that circulated around the internet about the evolution of a programmer. In the beginning was the beginning programmer with "10 HELLO WORLD"...
Sooner or later, Mozilla is going to blow past IE in terms of user experience due simply to the fact that they can pick-and-choose which bits to emulate (fast rendering in, activex security nightmares out). At that point, it won't matter if MS gives away IE because nobody'll want it anyhow. The only way they'll survive is if they can consistantly innovate new, useful features at a reasonable price to stay ahead of the curve, something which MS has *never* been able to do.
Alright, mister smart guy, what happens when we need more than 171 googol googol googol megabytes of RAM??? If Moore's law holds for RAM too, that's only gonna take...

Actually, I didn't see the original story. Could someone please post it? Thanks.
GOOGLE lawyers YOU!
Actually, that would make quite a good feature, automatically dropping buzzwords, it would probably help accuracy too.
Replying to the 14th post? Boy, you need to get out less.
Subtract the four cups of coffee I didn't have before posting...
Check the headers, there's a list of all the hosts the email passed through :)
Damn, Transmeta should just move here, there are a whole bunch of "Hammer hardware" shops, and now their jingle is stuck in my head...
So what if it's been 7 seconds since I last posted a comment?
Mickey-mouse == poor quality, inconsistent

No problem! In SOVIET RUSSIA, SPAM avoids YOU!

Don't bother printing.
Not with cable, maybe DSL? (The phone line is normal, it's the data on it, and the splitter at the end, that is different).

2) ???
3) PROPHET!!!
That word "and" is way overused... it rarely adds meaning to sentences... most people could not properly define it... sounds like a buzzword to me!
Oh, you don't browse at -1?
I was curious, so I opened the story in a new tab... then I got it.
The world ends Newton!

Fuck.
Would that be this one?
No, microsoft is writing slow, bloated code on purpose to get *kickbacks* from Intel.

That's funny, I thought that was the proportion of statistics that were made up on the spot...
Err... 1500 years, give or take. Never mind.
