Apparently someone out there has also "embraced" cloning plus massive use of growth hormones and technology to imprint neural pathways into a brain.
This can't possibly be Gates. We know he's being held in a villa somewhere out in Coloroado.
Though while they're at it, they should also clone Steve Jobs and "upgrade" the current version to include the willingness to actually put a version of MacOS X on the market for x86... Though I suspect if that actually happened the sun would have a divide by zero error and implode into a very dark spot with alot of gravity...
I would enterain the idea of cloning McBride, but the prospect of 12 Darl McBrides running around sounds like an Invader Zim episode on acid (or not on acid I suppose) Plus no matter how much you'd try to reprograme McBride with your neural pathways reprogrammer, it doesn't work on Sith Lords... (My apologies to any Sith Lords out there...)
Damn, this sounds like a really good gig! 800 bucks canadian for two Netfinity servers?
As to the the data scrubbing company. Come on! Who the hell designed they're process management at that company? You'd think, because of the sensitive nature of the data that company is responsible for destorying that they'd have a procedure in place that says "If your not sure of a machines status, scrub harddrives as if it just came in the door".
Now imagine a worm combining the distribution method of Msblaster with the mass-mailing feature of Sobig.F. The flood of traffic might practically render the Internet unusable.
Obviously, this guy must be on a different internet than the one I'm connected to right now... My gateway router is rotating it's logs twice a day at this point...
As for his Blaster.Sobig.F worm, I'm sure as we speak, some knucklehead is working on that right now. It'll be the swissarmy knife of MS worms that'll just go down and try every current exploit. Then it'll just mail itself to everybody...
In a statement released by Riaa president Slain Brosko
"After unsuccessfully using price gouging, poor music quality and then obnoxious lawsuits to drive our customers from the stores, the little bastards are still trying to buy CDs! We figure after we whip a few dozen children, they'll all learn to stay home and just download content that's being shared from other countries. Though on that front we've just heard from Donald Rumsfield that he'll loan us a couple stealth bombers to take out those little bastards too!" The president then burst into some manical laughter for a few minutes before eating a wriggling frog from jar and pulling a lever that dropped a rather cute dancing girl into the jaws of a Rancor.
Back in the day (which is to say, way before my time) there just wasn't the volume of sci-fi literature that there is today. Between all the old stuff, plus the newer stuff, plus all the spin off novels based on all the relavent sci-fi tv shows and movies, things just get lost in the shuffle.
This guy wants to go back to the good old days when Asimov wrote about robots and it was revolutionary. Yeah it was, and then everybody and their mother wrote about robots and suddenly it wasn't so revolutionary anymore...
The problem I see with this is the problem that plagues all databases... garbage in, garbage out.
If I had to go through and fix all the id3 tags on my mp3's so that my filesystem would give me adequate searching facilities, Longhorn would be long since released...
In the same realm, I have close to 150gigs worth of TV shows archived in DIVX format. The prospect of going through all of them and putting correct tags in, sounds daunting...
However, I do suspect that any robust interface would take a look at the tags, and if they are empty attempt to parse the filename.
Well, just take a look at your cat over there licking itself "clean"...
Cat's aren't clean... they are just covered in cat spit...
With that said, my cat curls up with my happily ever night.

I'm in the same boat with you on this one. Whenever the whole israel/palestine subject comes up, I wince.
The whole situation is amazing tragic. Not only in the lives lost, but also in futility of the whole thing.
Isreal has a well equipped army and palestine has an almost unlimited supply of people willing to blow themselves up.
Add to this, hardliners on both sides of fence who don't see compromise as a viable option, only obliteration of the "enemy".
I guess the answer is obvious. We should just destroy the holy sites. Since nobody wants to share them, then nobody gets them.
Better yet, do it from space with a big mass drive weapon, so nobody's at blame. Hell, we could even call it a message from "God" to live in harmony.
Oh wait, they'd just start fighting over the rubble.

I agree. That's the biggest problem with so called "innovations"... they don't help you do anything better. How does seeing someone increase the effiency of using a telephone? Now, it makes sense if your loved one is being needlessly deployed in some third world country because your current president is a nitwit. Then it makes sense that you want to see the person. However, if your just calling your wife to ask her if she needs you to pick anything up from the store, there's no point in a video phone.
As for the flying car, they'll happen eventually, just not in the US. This is the reason why. Currently, if I went out and bought a single engine piper cub and popped open the engine cowling, do you know what I'd find... dynamos. Now, there are companies that make electroic ignition systems for airplanes, but because of the current rules, you can only use them if you declare your plane an experimental. However, after thousands and thousands of hours of people flying on electronic ignition, the FAA still isn't convinced it's safe.
Now just imagine what some poor bastard would have to go through to even get the FAA to look at a flying car.
For it to be even practical to the general public, it would have to have an obsurdly computer controlled, fly by computer control system that would prevent the thousands of possible knuckleheaded things a person could do in a flying car, otherwise, it wouldn't be flying car, it would be a flying plane.
Your average person can just barely sort out drivers ed. Just imagine your crazy cubemate behind the stick of a flying car. Yeah, that would be frightening.
Actually, our legal department reads the EULA and tells us if it's okay to install the software.
Yeah, it's usually on version 4 by the time they get back to us, but hey! No suprises that way;-)
That's the thing.... if it's some certified configuration that's been tested extensively, but you can't update or it'll become uncertified you need to put it on an isolated network!
What a bunch knuckle-headed fucktards!
I agree with the root poster... this nitwits should be fired.
On a positive side note, maybe this latest outbreak of worms, virus and trojans (oh my!) will help educated people about the folly of just hooking everything up to the internet!
Tragically though, it's usually not the "Weak" Canidate with some sugar daddy in the back ground helping them to fullfil their dreams of running for office.
It's usually some rich person who wants to a place in government and uses their personal wealth and connections to pound all the other canidates into the ground.
Hence why they should have election laws that limit the ammount of campaign funds available. That way, every canidate gets a fair shake.
Yeah, that's where they took a really safe hydrogen filled blimp and coated it with a paint that had the same flammability as rocket fuel and then took it out in a thunder storm...
I didn't know that he hacked into any government computer systems. I thought he was just running an anti government website.
In that case, then it was probably for the best that he plea bargained.
Not entirely... when push comes to shove, they'll put whatever the customer wants for an OS on a box as long as the customer is willing to stick with IBM and pay their services fees...
I'd say something about this, but I'm am afraid the FBI might come knocking on my door.
Last time I checked it was okay to openly advocate the overthrow of the government? I even thought it was okay to write and speak about it. The problem is when you start acting on those feelings...
I seriously think the government overstepped it's bounds on this. Ironically enough, our civil liberites are here mainly to protect people acting in ways that the rest of us don't approve of...
What's even more tragic was that instead of standing up for his civil rights, this kid got bullied into to a plea bargain because of his fear that he'd be treated like a terrorist and it would increase his sentence from 1 year to 20...
Screw that... How long do you think it'll be before someone has detailed instructions on how to take the camera apart and put it into a better enclosure with a 256mb flash chip and insructions on how to make the cable for nothing!
I guess the next question would be... Can you make copies of this key?
If so, make a copy, put it in a water proof box and then go out in the woods, bury it and memorize the coordinates.

Incidentally, we did all our promos and donuts on carts and reel to reel.
What'll happen is that innovation will leave the software houses and end up right where it started.
Some kids bedroom. Though instead of posting it on a WWIV board, he'll have to drive to anonymously upload it to a server somewhere.
Yeah, that is a solution! So, then I can eat half as much food and only pay half my mortgage.
When my phone bill comes, I'll only pay half, I'm sure they'll understand.
