... since I know the lyrics for more than 200 songs and counting, and I'm not afraid (so far) to spell them out in public, while working in the garden or in the backyard.
Now, I might consider buying a bulletproof jacket, just in case the RIAA sends a couple of goons down my street...
(and before anyone asks, no, I've never had any neighbor complaining about my singing:-)
> Not only MySpace, but also AOL, AT&T, Starbucks, a few french restaurants and the Wrestling Foundation.
I don't want to know what kind of 18+ girl you might want to pick up at the Wrestling Foundation.:-)
But if you get punched in the face by one of them, it sure is gonna cost you more than getting punched by the average 18+ girl... and well, somehow you asked for it;-)
Right, but the Pope who is replacing him (Josef Ratzinger a.k.a. Benedict XVI) has long been the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which is the modern version of the Roman Inquisition.
So the joke about the Inquisition is not that old...
The article only mentions the systems affected (only Windows systems apparently) but not the browsers. However, it is the browser that executes the Javascript code, which steals the e-mail addresses from the Yahoo! address book. So, are they sure that a Linux-based system with Mozilla (such as mine) would not be affected by the worm ?
Interesting, but the majority of electricity in France (75% or more) is provided by nuclear power plants. And I don't really want to know howmuch the decommissioning of those power plants (with all the recycling of radioactive waste) is going to cost.
Probably several times the cost of building those nuclear plants, maybe by a twentyfold ; certainly much more than paying interests for the construction costs of dams and hydro plants.
But I already know who's going to pay for this : the damn French tax payer is. Certainly not the Swiss, who buy the electricity cheaper than they sell it back to the French.
Well, I actually thought of a huge array of tiny abacuses (imagine a Beowulf cluster of those), which should be feasible now using nanotubes technology...
Ah well... imagination often goes wild when you're Western and ignorant about other civilizations.
Sure, but is that a reason to get it modded up to "5, insightful" when all it contains is a smiley ? C'mon, modbots, there are many more insightful posts in this discussion that would appreciate some moderation boost !
"Comic Sans MS" is a weapon of mass distraction when used in any design. It draws attention on the typeface (which is butt-ugly IMO), not on the contents of the text.
Wait, wait... do we really need a new measurement unit ?
Let's see...
If the Library of Congress were to hit Earth with a velocity of 15 miles per second, wouldn't it come close to the devastation caused by this asteroid ?
Well, we already have *spineless* service providers such as Google or Yahoo, who will meekly turn over all the information they have about you to the authorities if they are asked to... so, going backboneless wouldn't be much of a stretch, would it ?
the Pharaoh's plainly had adequate time to appear for deposition, but failed to answer the subpeona.
I hear he did indeed, but he could not find enough trucks to send the records to Utah. That's 3,000,000 tons of stones with hieroglyphs on them, folks !
[This is the kind of news we are unlikely to see, at least until pigs learn to fly carpets.]
Angry Mobs of Cartoonists Set Syrian And Arabian Embassies Ablaze
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK -- Today, several demonstrations led by angry cartoonists turned into violent riots in downtown Copenhagen. The police forces proved incapable of preventing the rioters from attacking the embassies of the countries where the cartoons pbulished in "Jyllands Posten" were considered offensive. The embassies of Syria, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia were ransacked by mobs on the rampage before being set on fire in the name of freedom of expression.
"We are absolutely outraged that those people took offense at our artwork", said one of the leading rioters. "We demand sanctions from their governments to punish such disrespect !".
The local authorities have declined to comment on the apparent idleness of the police forces towards the rioters. Denmark, which is considered a rogue state by the Middle-East countries, is accused of inciting those riots as a retaliation to the Mid-Eastern embargo on Danish Blue that started last week, following the publication of the cartoons.
The only people I know with hairy shoulders are usually men. Unless you are talking of a female ape, in which case I would recommend a little cautiousness in your comments (did you know female apes were capable of lifting 1000 lbs when they get really angry ?)
And don't forget to read the lengthy but enlightening paper by Cristian Miceli.
If you don't have enough time to read it all, please, do read the interesting parts about Divx Networks, Autodesk and Adobe, and the testimonies of their representatives, on how they had to divert a considerable amount of money and human resources towards the software patents arms race, intead of using these resources on innovative projects.
These are real, solid examples of the disaster of software patents in the US.
No, seriously. We had serious doubts even before he had his stroke in November, but with his latests speechs, it's now confirmed: our president is running on a brain-dead automated bullshit-generating mode.
It is also a nice paradox that our EU leaders prefer to fund a huge, bureaucratic project with no clear goals or timelines, rather than actually protecting our capacity to develop and innovate freely, just by banning software patents. Unfortunately, it seems that software patents are back with a revenge...

Well, why don't you go tell Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light about it ?

Additional question : are there any generic driver templates for Hypertransport-based devices ?
The whole thread would deserve a lengthy quote on bash.org, if only bash.org accepted anything else than chat logs...

Yup. But this is Slashdot.
That would be "decreased", wouldn't it ? With all those icecaps melting into the sea...

No, it's Whoopi. The whole Vista thing is a joke anyway.

Chile. Just do the same as 30 years ago :
Wetting your pants on that one is such a fine way to start the day...
