I used to work at a print shop as a graphic designer on a Macintosh. In the whole company, there we only 2 Macs: mine and "Jim's" (not his real name). Because I had more experience, I was the unofficial Mac expert, and Jim would ask me when he had a problem (the System Administrator was clueless about Macs).
Anyway, we had a week where the design department was quiet. There were 4 of us in the department, all in one room, including my suporvisor. Because I was the one to troubleshoot problems on the Macs, I had a login on Jim's Mac, and I could browse his hard drive.
I was bored one day, so I wrote a little AppleScript program and inserted into Jim's startup folder, and waited for him to reboot. Because of the way that the room was set up, I would usually have my back to Jim, and would anser his questions without turning around.
Here's how things played out:
Jim: Hey Ed, my computer is acting funny.
Me: Really? Maybe you need to reboot.
Jim: Ok...Hey, I just got a message that I have a virus!
Me: Really? What's it say?
Jim: "A virus has been detected on this system. Press "Ok" to remove it."
Me: (trying not to smile) Go ahead and remove it. ...so, Jim went ahead and "removed it, and continued working. But I wasn't done yet. I grabbed the Applescript and changed a few things, and replaced the version in Jim's startup folder, and waited for him to reboot.
Later...
Jim: Hey, it says I have another virus!
Me: Well, didn't you tell it to remove it before?
Jim: Yeah, I did.
Me: Hmmm, maybe it's a different virus. What's the message say?
Jim: "Jim, a virus has been detected on your computer...uh.."
Me: How's the computer know your name?
Jim: Uh...
At which point I couldn't keep from laughing, and filled him in on what I had done (my supervisor was there, so I told him too). Both of them thought it was a good joke, and Jim couldn't beleive he didn't realize it when the popup called him by name!
I can crack any CD in two seconds. Just grab either side with both hands and bend it until it cracks. Works best with Brittney Spears and Backstreet Boys CDs.
Just make sure to wash your hands afterwards. Who knows where they've been...?
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, 4 years after Napster.
The Earth Station 5 Project was a dream given form. Its goal: to provide free entertainment to the people of the internet. It's a port of call for hackers, cracker, leeches, and newbs.
The internet can be a dangerous place, but it's our last, best hope for pr0n.
This is the story of the last of the Earth Stations. The year is 2003. The name of the place is Earth Station 5.
If you get bored of water all day (understandable), you can try fruit juice. But please, do REAL fruit juice and not colored hummingbird food. Juicy Juice and Ocean Spray 100% are my favorites.
I have been told by my herbalist/nutritionist that most bottled fruit juice is actually bad for you, since it has so much sugar. Any benefit that it had was boiled away during the bottling process (they boil the juice to kill any organisms in it, and to make it taste sweeter). Basicly, it ends up being sugar water.
If you can find it, try getting stevia and kool-aid (or other non-sugared drink). Stevia is pretty sweet, but tastes different from sugar, and wont be absorbed by your body. Seems to work well in lemonaid, too.
The DNA registry catalogs DNA samples from all US armed forces, ostensibly for identifying remains (although if that were the only reason, the samples would be automatically destroyed at the end of the servicemember's contract.)
But, if they destroy the samples, they wont be able to combine the samples and create Khan in the future. (Wasn't he supposed to have DNA combined from earth's greatest leaders?) That's no fun at all!
Then again, maybe I'm thinking of that Cobra-la guy from Gi-Joe, Sepentor.
Bob Vila's Hammer, eh? Paying attention to healing research becuase you hit the wrong nail one time too many?
Probably not. Anyone who's watched the show knows that Bob hardly ever did any of the work. Norm did all the tough stuff (and probably banged his fingers quite a bit).
Slashdot Mirror
If they would have installed the patch that MS has been emailing to EVERYONE , they wouldn't have this problem!
By the way: has anyone noticed Windows being particularly unstable recently? (More than usual)
</noob>
I was hopeing that the artical would just say "maine" or "ohio" and just declare that the state of violent gameing.... that'd be cool...
HEY! I'm FROM Ohio! Don't make me come over there and kick your ass!
Why, yes, I was just playing Vice City...

I mean, we ARE talking about expensive, geek toys.

...not preventing superman from peering into the cockpit and seeing what color underwear the pilot wears...
Pink. Not that I was..er..checking or anything.
... SHINY!
You'd have to cripple the entire operating system...
Isn't that what Microsoft has been doing?
"Walt Disney has contributed more happiness to the world than all the religions combined."
You're kidding, right? Disney IS a religion, at least according to these guys.
...we will finally be able to see what Calista Flockhart REALLY looks like?

It just works....sometimes. Oh, wait, that's Microsoft's slogan. Damn. Sorry.
Actually, I think Microsoft should adopt the slogan: It just breaks!
Better hurry up. You only have 13 years left.
This is SlashDot, after all...
A dozen cool shirts, but image a beowulf cluster of these...
What? A Linux convention? Pretty easy to imaging and/or visit....
"DAT tapes. Why did it have to be DAT tapes?"
NEVER underestimate the bandwidth of a station-wagon full of DAT tapes.
I'm holding out for the day when we can go to the corner 7-11 and order up a beautiful woman
You can do that today at the corner of 7th and 11th.
As an added bonus, you get a FREE sexually transmitted disease!

Oh no you didn't... you did not just insult my favorite movie EVER... Back to the Future!
WB screwed it up. It should have read "TO BE CONCLUDED...", like in BttF2. Either that, or they are planning another move after Revolutions...
DO NOT LOOK INTO LASER BEAM (from an alien race) WITH REMAINING EYE!
Maybe P1 is just checking out the Internet?
