This silly experiment is a waste of time. Everyone with a time machine already knows that my massive Weather Altering Device (WAD) will come online in 2008 with the sole purpose of ruining the results of this trial...
Good. I hate to sit around and watch two windbags duke it our with big words. I like my wars like I like my movies: with lots of action and cool explosions.
The problem with OV is that it doesn't make enough of a jump in compression from its predecessor, the MP3 format.
MP3s will continue to rein supreme, Iron Chef style, until someone releases a new compression algorythm that saves at least 10x more space. It is too much work to convince MOST people to use other forms of music compression when there is negligable savings (in quality and size) for the average user.

No offense, but since when does a posting for 200-odd IT jobs qualify as a decent news item? Heck, most state govt's are looking for IT people every day.
What's next, McDonalds on 4th St needs 3 new fry cooks?
I wonder if I'll get a response, but I played MegaTF for 4 years in college (ending 2001).
Know what? It's based on the Quake1 engine. But it's a heck of a mod and the community kept it lively. Gameplay is king over graphics. Even 33.6'ers could join in and still participate in matches without fear of being owned by LPB's.
God I miss that game. Sadly, after 6-7 years of development, someone discovered bunnyhopping and ruined it. Perhaps one day I'll return...

"But Your Honor, I had to load all that pirated software on my machine. Norweigan history was at stake!"
Oh yes, the Peruvian Congressman's letter, how could I forget?
It reminded me a lot of that recent Mexican treatice on excellent no-background slashdot subject descriptions.
"deceptive 'renewal notices'"
Oh, you mean like the dozen or so "helpful reminders" we get from every magazine subscription we own?
My favorite is when they send them 4 months in advance, letting me know that there is a distinct possibility of my life crumbling if I miss an issue.
Bulletproof security?
This sounds like a job for RoboCop!
They plan to put them in everything, eh?
So where can I buy ID chips for my ID chips? "This ID chip belongs to NiftyNews, please don't spoof me."
Not as much of a perfect, long-lasting structure as they thought, eh?
"The software will...run plausibility checks"
Hopefully they mean on the votes. If you ran it on the candidate promises you'd have a 95% failure rate!
Maybe their super-vision can help add to the list of continuity errors in Spider-Man...

When lawyers sue lawyers, no one wins.
No, wait. That makes them too busy to sue any of us. So I guess all of us win!
"Civil wars are omitted"
Good. I hate to sit around and watch two windbags duke it our with big words. I like my wars like I like my movies: with lots of action and cool explosions.
Woah, an executive just departed from a large company?
This is a rare opportunity, people. Party's at my place.
This is perfect. Just think about the advertising crossovers.
Who here wouldn't be interested in a bright yellow BumbleBee Edition VW Beetle, complete with AutoBot logo on the hood?

Dude, your phone just killed my Level 26 Dwarf Assassin. AGAIN.

I bet this book doesn't cover the dirtier side of future Human-Computer Interaction ;)
I miss Phil Hartman. Hit my karma if you need to, but I needed to say it.
We can rebuild it. Faster. Stronger. Geekier.
Anyone want to loan me a few million?
In other news, there was other news that most people both understood and gave a damn about...

What's next, McDonalds on 4th St needs 3 new fry cooks?
Wow, way to slashdot the poor saps who found the site on their own and were actually hoping for a shot at a job...
/me checks pockets....
Well, I had it a minute ago...maybe I dropped it on the bus?
Everyone likes free code. Much like they like free stuff, as in my tagline.
