OK. I wouldn't mind seeing the computer take too long and run out of time, thus handing me the match. Kasparov should've requested that Deep Blue use a P4.
Dumb bastard. (j/k)

Download size: 361 KB
A security issue has been identified that could allow an attacker to run programs on a computer running Microsoft® Windows®. The attacker would first have to send you an e-mail message or entice you into visiting a malicious Web site. You can help protect your computer by installing this update from Microsoft. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer. Once you have installed this item, it cannot be removed."
Given that Prometheus was punished by the gods with having an eagle eat his liver for all eternity, don't you think NASA could come up with a better name for the project?
A family friend works with mentally handicapped children and teenagers, and was recently bemoaning the lack of computer equipment and software for her students. Is there any such hardware and/or software available that she doesn't know about? Are we even far enough along in our understanding of mental retardation to adequately solve this problem?
I run Outlook Express because it came with Windows and I'm smart enough not to open attachments. I get all the major viruses in my e-mail, but they always go right to the trash.
I usually use a piece of tinfoil over my crotch. Not only does it keep "the boys" radiation-free, but it also prevents aliens from invading through my crotch.
...is my girlfriend getting songs off of Gnutella or Kazaa and sending them to me. It's cheaper than subscription services and much better than regular radio because if I don't like a song, I can delete it. Simple and cheap.
Any mention of how much money Episode II will bring in? It seems to me that this thing will probably bring in as much, if not more, than Episode I did.
And how much money DID Episode I bring in? Well, according to the IMDB, The Phantom Menace raked in $431m domestically by January of 2000. Then you add in worldwide grosses, plus video sales and rentals, plus merchandising, etc., etc., etc. So while software companies and games stores may have one day of lost productivity (which, if they pay for sick days anyway, they should be able to afford), George Lucas is doing more good than harm to the economy.
Notice I said to the economy. The movie itself might still suck.

Don't forget Run-DMCA.
Guess we know where Microsoft wants to go today.

I have back problems. I injured my back about a year ago carrying something heavy. It hurts a lot.
But if you think I'd let that come between me and Kirsten Dunst, you're an idiot.

REAL men get some of those giant Pixy Stix and dump one into whatever it is they're drinking.
Gaming is MUCH more fun with that strobe effect from your eyelids twitching. I just wish that damn pink elephant would give me my mouse back.

"I wonder if this will help TiVo and ReplyTV gain 'legitimacy'?"
ReplyTV? Does this mean I can send the networks their shitty sitcoms back to them?
How about just using Slashdot forums to hide messages cleverly disguised as "fp!" ? Seems to me that no one reads that shit anyway...
Please, please, tell me these things are baseball-sized. Please.
There are so many pranks I want to pull with these things.
This is fantastic. Thanks to the merger, I now have a one-stop shop for all the bad computer equipment I'll never buy.
Thanks to Compaq and HP for making my life more convenient.

If it is my DNA, then no one else has a right to patent it.
Given the life of the copyright protection, I think that only applies if you're under 20 years old.
Hmmm....in just a few more Space Quest games, we'll hit number 10: The Latex Babes of Estros. Finally, a reason to buy the latest/greatest video card.
