that would be really cool, I think. You could market to both sides of the zealots. Think of all the untapped profit!

Something that requires a previous computation can't be run in parallel. Like calculationg a fibonacci sequence. You can't simultaneously calculate 10 numbers in the sequence, since you have to calculate each one before the next.
I just got that one for the first time the other day. I forwarded it all my friends so that they could have a laugh, since they have not gotten it either. Little did I know, but some of my friends are very stupid. I almost considered not telling them it was a scam as punishment for not having the sense to realize it.
Yeah, but if you do repent, you will be the pawns too. Or at least you would be if I were your evil overlord. I would convince you by saying that I plan on sacrificing all of theirs, so it's better to be one of mine.
Right. Plus your drop shock squad mk2 can now make orbital insertions anywhere. And aerospace complex restrictions for orbital imporvements are waived.
That would probably depend on how much you pay for your lawyer. I mean, if it doesn't go from the first person, why not the 100th. As long as there is still someone writing it maybe it should never expire. Just keep the version numbers under 1, maybe. OTOH, I have no idea what I"m talking about.
"To cover itself, the movie throws in a quick mention that the human energy source powering the machines is combined with a source of fusion. This is like getting on a 747 and having the captain explain in great detail that the plane is rubber band powered, then add that it also has four jet engines."
That sounds like you'd have to time it just right. Why not teleport an anvil above somebody's head like those animated documentaries I used to watch. Their technology was way ahead of ours I guess.
Since the parent was modded funny for referring to something funny, can someone mod this funny too? You know, since it's a reference to a reference to something funny?
Ah yes, psycho parents. Reminds me of dear old mom. Actually I think my mom tried something along the lines of this too. I was pretty embarassed as I'm sure this girl was.
oh, forgot to mention, I've had good success with a battery powered air compressor. I think it was supposed to be for travel matresses or something of the sort.
actually you can add a lot of tolerance to what you can launch if you use something for wadding. Like a bunch of paper towels or something. You can even do a bunch of gravel for grapeshot.

They actually work out of a hollowed out volcano. They just got that address for the sake of having it.
hm. could I just have the summary of the summary of the summary please?
like snood?
I would not care. It's not like us lives are worth so much more than iraqi lives. It's just a game.

not if you kill them. bwa ha ha ha ha ha.
On a completely unrelated note, I suddenly have an opening on my unbreakable encryption project. Anyone interested?

Right, but you have to admit, there's something to be said for not having a kaboom failure mode. There has got to be a way to avoid that at least.

my parents shouldn't mind too much. I mean, they might not even notice... I think I'll go for it.
I've written packages that defeat silly anti-automation scripts. So that's how cowboyneal get's all those votes.
So what happens if you choose disagree?
how did he keep the marine from spinning on the way down?

It was here. I dunno. Just made me think of that.
And hot grits? They'll have hot grits there too right?

heh, at one time, every post wasn't a repeat. Then it was repeated. :)

What, like this?
