This is actually sick, great, lets steal from the charities to deliver targeted ads for Viagra, we need more boners not food for starving children. I think that they should be ending up under investigation for all kinds of privacy and copyright violations for this one.
Hope they fry
All of th bi-polar, latent hallucination filled, occasional freezing and rebooting, hacked, whacked, twacked mess it is. I wouldn't change it for the world. It took me thirty odd years to figure out what to do with it but suddenly I found out of this mess I can get creativity!
Now I am doing marketing for a nightclub (with no experience no less) and started my own magazine! Not going to post a link as I don't want godaddy taking a shit on me quite yet.... That ans they may notice the string of noscript tags that eliminate all of their ads...
But back to my occasionally wandering brain I am going to leave it alone, I like it here, and you will never be able to program into a computer one thing, experience, you can make a computer emulate empathy, but you cannot make it learn past a series of yes & no questions into the wonderful world of angels dancing on the heads of pins.
Stubborn old me, not bothering to own a TV, or a console for that matter, last one I owned was the old Nintendo with Super Mario Brothers, da-da-da-da-da-da (repeat)
They had this huge Howard Hughes project to vacuum up metallic nodules off the ocean floor that was a cover to attempt to recover a Russian sub that sank in 15000 feet of water, they got a chunk of it, but a mechanical failure resulted in most of the sub staying on the bottom.
VTMB kicked ass! I really wish there were more games out there like this one. I actually have the model for Jeanette on my MySpace friends list (ok, hitting freaky geek status), as for VTMB has anyone else noticed that Jack really resembles Al Jourgeson from Ministry in person?
I have tried that, seemed to get them to remember me pretty well. Although the next day sucked once my brain returned to its former position in my skull I had a whole list of new contacts in my phone and was actually on the "will answer your call" list.
I think that is so that when you hit one of those "internet" buttons on your keyboard (you know, right next to the big red PANIC button, it will bring up Firefox, or when you click a link in an email or something (if you would be inclined to do such a thing).
I love it! Firefox is my world as proven that I actually own a Firefox Messenger bag (happens to be one of the few bags I could find that actually fit my laptop). I have been running Firefox 3.0 since the Gan Paradiso days and it has been solid as a rock, unlike some other browsers that liked to detonate every couple of minutes. I still am waiting for a fix on the memory leaks, but I can deal with just restarting my browser every time I see it is using three or four hundred meg of memory for now.
It helps them with having their secretaries sign everything for them, and helps release them from liability as they can later say "I never signed that". As long as its accepted as a "good enough" practice it will still be only reasonably challengable, and grotesquely insecure, but still, good enough for government use....
Ah, America, land of the Luddite.
Why, because it causes so many problems when people actually become aware that the wool is being pulled over their eyes.
Long live compassionate conservatism!
So, if they make one that runs WinBlows and it crashes, do you lose all unsaved data?
Could you require a reboot, or gasp, a reformat before you will recover from lost files in your NTFS partitions?
Of course you would come back with a snazzy swap file and would have an epileptic seizure every time someones actually makes you think.
Preferably with an embedded player, maybe something that plays music that is looking for exposure (or am I coming up with a brilliant business idea here), if anyone steals this idea I had it first dammit, its on/. and I will subpoena CowboyNeal to say that I posted this first!
But seriously, has anyone heard of such a thing?
That's no moon, it's a, a... ship! A... Deathstar!
Either that or the Borg are coming to take us away, ha! ha!
I think it is really cool that there are still a few things in science that are un settled despite what we consider to be our vast knowledge and infinite wisdom. I mean we obviosly know all about this whole creation thing, I learned all about it in school.
On the first day Spock created the heavens and the Earth, and a guy named Han Solo to sail among them in the Enterprise on a five year mission of avoiding the Hutts.
I think that any object that is relatively round and large enough to have the gravitiational pull to capture another noticable object, and in a reasonably stable mostly cicular orbit should be considered a planet, but that is my own personal opinion.

Ah but you must remember that this is the United States, and the truth has no bearing on the legal process.
Despite that her arguement is all wrong, and has major flaws if he gets a jury trial that means that we will have twelve luddites trying to solve technical support issues between an evil corporate interest and Holly homemaker, all she has to do is wear a revealing house coat and she will win.
If th lawsuit was concerned about the truth, or for that matter if any lawsuits were concerned about the truth would the IBM~SCO thing had lasted as long as it did?
This is th US, anyone can sue anyone and everyone for any reason just because they feel the inkling to do so, didn't you see that South Park episode?
Oh well, I am ranting...
Jeffy
Why are you on slashdot?
Burn your computer, especially if you are at work.
Smash all of your appliances.
Cut the power feed for your house.
Throw that cell phone away.
Sell your car for scrap.
Hunt neighborhood cats and cook them over an open fire in the backyard.
And then you will sit there crying all night wishing you could blog about this new liberating experience on myspace.
I live in the woods, so no, I can't get broadband, unless I want some $70 dollar a month, with a $1500 setup fee piece of crap, that had 2 seconds of lag, and I would never be able to game over. But I guess that is the price I pay for being able to mow my lawn naked.
And to have wildlife in the yard other than drunks and druggies, (drunk friends don't count).
Shit, I can't even get cable tv out here, and worst of all, I am in the city limits of a city of 100,000 people. It takes me 8 minutes to get to my job in downtown!
For those people who pay attention to the news, 40,000,000 cards compromised, that would be basically every card they handle assumed to have ben compromised, an imprtessive feat indeed. The person would have had to have a consistent and unnoticedconne3ction to the server, or walked out with a burned dvd or two of information.
The other interesting mathimatical issue that came up was the child molester in Oregon, he was reported to have molested 30,000 kids over 35 years, 12 of which he spent in jail, hmmmm that would be over 4 seperate kids a day.
I can't even find a way to molest 4 seperate drunk girls in a night with out at least one of them telling someone. I am calling bullshit on this one.
I found that if you take the film out of the camera after the picture is taken, and then either blow on it or flop the picture back and forth irt will make it develop far quicker and much clearer.
Maybe we could get some of the aliens from area 51 to hitchhike onboard and take care of that for us!
I live in the woods also, and suffer along at 26.4 all of the time, which sucks big rocks....
I am relatively close to town, but for a while we had Monet network in town, before they went belly up, and with a madified direct-tv dish, aluminum foil, and a ramped up anteanea on the reciever we were able to get a consistant 150kb/s down from them. when you go from 2.5 kb/s to 150, it is a HUGE jump, and I miss them dearly.
The equipment exists, and it works, well, this service was running off of the cellular signals at 1.9 ghz or so from the local sprint towers and I loved it!
The other nice thing is that they used a card that was pcmcia style so you could use it in town when you were on your laptop and do irresponsible things like surfing porn on the freeway (now that's distracting).

I suppose that would include pretty much the entire open source community wouldn't it....

...based on an IP infringement issue, isn't he being a bit of a duchebag about all this? I think its a Napoleon syndrome.Preferably with an embedded player, maybe something that plays music that is looking for exposure (or am I coming up with a brilliant business idea here), if anyone steals this idea I had it first dammit, its on /. and I will subpoena CowboyNeal to say that I posted this first!

I certainly hope there is intelligent life somewhere else in space, but we got bollocks down here on Earth.
May I have your liver then?
