    Yeah, I can just picture the parents designing their kid.

    Mom: Let's see, 200 IQ, body genes from previous gold medalists, we're not forgetting anything are we honey?
    Dad: Let's add three inches to his penis.
    Mom: Oh you're right! Thank goodness you said something before it was too late.

    Hah, remember in Toejam and Earl, where one of the presents was a Decoy. How useful would that be. (please god tell me you've played that game. If not, then think of a weeble that looks exactly like you). You do know what a weeble is don't you?

    Here at osu we're capped at 1024 kbits per second. There is a certain person I know who had to format his computer the night before he came here (approx 3 weeks ago). Yeah that sucked. So anyway this person has 3.2 gb of mp3s, 8.25 gb of game iso's, 24.3 gb of movies. Oh yeah, and nearly 700k of copyrighted photos.

    Yeah, but since they're not here to defend it, I'm going to patent it and then sue their estates. I've always wanted my own pyramid.

  10. Whoa. on Walk-Thru Virtual Environment · · Score: 1
    Thats pretty cool. I remember they had something like this in seaquest. I can't really think of a practical application for this though. The resolution won't be good enough for entertainment (or anything else requiring decent looking graphics). Or reading/typing text. I dunno, I guess I just can't think of anything I'd want to use it for. Oh yeah, and:

    it is a break-through technology, literally!

    Timothy, you are guilty of wanton pun usage, and for that you must die.

    What a load of crap. First, lets get one thing straight. You can be no more "semi-pro" than you can be "kind of pregnant". You either are or aren't.

    I disagree. It's just like I'm a semi-billionaire, and a semi-porn star. I'd like to be but no one has given me a $999,720 (yes, I am a college student), or offered to pay me to have sex. He's a semi-pro photographer.

    Not Checking Input for Validity! This is about the second lesson in CS100 classes, or was back when I took them - Never Never Never trust that your program has been given correct input, especially input that cares about size and type.

    Actually, I'm currently going through the system here at ohio state where they teach the concept of prgramming by contract. Basically we're told if the input is not the correct (documented) input then whatever happens is not your fault (an error is to be expected). Writing bulletproof code is a waste of time apparently.

  17. Re:Easy soulation to eliminate the top 10. on SANS/FBI Release Top 20 Security Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    There is an very easy solution to eliminate the top 10 problems. Stop using all microsoft applications and plateforms. That is why I only use round plates, they're much more secure than those stupid window shaped ones. Who wants a plate with four big holes in the middle!

    They should wrap their servers with trashbags or something so that it's easier to get the smoke back in. Just leave a box of them on top labeled "for emergencies only".

    That one guy who has his sig trying to hire someone gave me an idea. Taco should sell advertising space in his sig too. Maybe he could even post some sponsored replies. "The best thing since sliced bread!" "I sold my first born just to get one!" "The best thing since that last thing that was better than sliced bread!" "Hell, I'll take two!" and so on.
