My friend, that’s only your own nasty mind. I did not even know that a saddle/vibrator with that name existed, before I read your post. And so do, I guess, 99.999% of the population. ^^
Wouldn’t that file be pretty huge? (No Idea. No Windows here.) Also: There is no C:\ProgramData. (At least in XP.) Did you mean $HOME\Application Data, or C:\Programs? Or is that a Vista thing?
“lobbying” is nothing else, than a euphemism for bribing. Which would be equal to treason for the politician, if that were not changed trough... you guessed it... bribing. Which would mean at least a decade of well-deserved prison or death penalty, in most law systems.
Yay. “But it’s just lobbying. It’s normal.” No, it’s not! Way to twist reality...
Since we haven’t invented a time machine yet (working on it;)... since Wendy’s state is not resettable, unless there was a massive amount of alcohol involved the first time, which already resetted it (wish I had that option the day after the date with her!)... and since there is only one Wendy just like her (oh thank god for that one!)... going back is not an option. You can only try with the accumulated state.
Sorry, but real scientists don’t care if what happened, was what they expected. (Because it’s always cool new knowledge. Most of the time, the unexpected results are way cooler anyway.) Or even whether they got new information about what they studied. (Because they still gained the knowledge, that this method does not give any new information.)
I really don’t get, in what twisted mindset one can see that as bad. It boggles my mind...
Wrong perspective. Why do you call it a mistake? What crazy idea is that, to call something good (gaining useful new information) “bad”? It’s not bad, so you don’t have to “admit” anything.
That’s the great thing about science: The worst thing that can happen, is that you don’t learn something new. (= 0) Everything else (= +x | -x) is a success. Who cares if it was expected.
Frankly, I find the unexpected results to be far cooler than the expected ones.:) A scientist is the only person, who can brag, if something goes “wrong”.:D
I think System Shock, which came out in the same year as Doom, kicked Doom’s ass! It’s weird that the whole world seems to remember Doom. System Shock was a wonderful piece of very creepy art. And it will always be one of the best games ever made.
The whole “Don’t be evil” motto is a joke. It is factually impossible for a human to willingly do something that he thinks is evil. He will either justify it in some way, no matter what... Or he will say that something forced him, which takes him out of the responsibility.
I think, subconsciously everybody who created that slogan, is perfectly aware of that, and did choose it because of that.
Meanwhile in Canada: http://notalwaysright.com/north-of-the-moral-border/4097 Sadly, Canada does not have many warm beaches. Luckily, that rule about bare breasts is also true for most of Europe.:) (In fact, in Germany, you are legally OK, as long as you put a sock over your dick and balls.)
and an ineffective government is bad no matter where you sit on the political spectrum, as it impedes a government mandated by the people to implement policy from being able to do so.
I hear that view a lot, these days. But it is based on an assumption, that is simply not true anymore, nowadays. The neither is the government mandated by the people, nor do its decisions have any relationship with the people anymore. This is, why an ineffective government nowadays actually has become a good thing. The slower it is, the less can it rape the people.
Of course, this does not touch the core problem: That most people prove every couple of years, that they want to be raped hard and nastily. (Because they knowingly vote for parties which are proven to work against them.)
Slashdot Mirror
O R'LYEH?
As soon as I succeed in resurrecting Hello Cthulhu and its friends, I rule the world! MUHAHAHAHAHAAAA!
My favorite mule: the eMule.
Especially its special m(u)l(e)Donkey version with works in the large bitTorrent.
Right after the 24 hours are over and the things needs to reload for a couple of years or so. ;)

Mozilla has no plans to ever bring Firefox Mobile to it. :/
Thats why you never go back to the same sites if people are interested in you.
Only on Slashdot is this not modded as “Funny”...

They’re not that bad when fully shaved. ;)
After all, they evolved from hairy Greek women.

WTF? What “embarassement”?

I don't think so. This Journal will not publish any results anymore. Ever.
There. Fixed that for ya.
I did neither like fantasy, nor role playing games.
But you are right: Looking Glass was THE studio, back then.
I love cyberpunk, horror, and sci-fi stuff. So for me it was their System Shock, that won all trophies.
Single. Best. Game. Of. All. Time.

Dammit! If only we had known before, that it was that easy! Could have saved us all the work.

Because... IT’S A TRAP!

WTH is a “femtobarn”?
Is that where ants put their aphids, after milking them?
You mean more, or less than shutting down the whole project, redesigning the interconnects, and taking a whole year to replace them?
...it makes sense, no?
Yoda? Is that you? I told you to go back to bed again! It only makes sense to you, because you’re senile! ;)
Lozano's design relies on electrospraying, a physics process...
No way! I thought it would be a magic fairy magic process! (So magic, they used the word twice!) With glitter and unicorns!
