Well, since some computer users don't bother to read through your pages and pages of technical jargon, I propose, KaZaA, Morpheus, etc. that you abuse nave users to the fullest extent. Dig:
EULA
You hereby agree... (3 pages of yadda yadda)......to the following:
1a. If you are male: The entire development team may utilize the resources of your girlfriend at any time. (read. sex)
1b. If you are female: The entire development team may utilize the resources of you and/or a girlfriend at any time.(read. sex)
2. We may acquire your residence for our yearly "Fuck the Consumer" bash. Clothing optional (esp. if you fall under section 1b)
3. You hereby agree that we are above the law. In that voice that Sly Stallone uses in "Demolition Man."
Feel free to add your own!
Of course, OCR'ing the images and serving HTML-only versions of a text document probably would have saved SatanIsHere some of Geoshitties' paltry bandwidth.
I'll be interested to read these, whenever someone manages to mirror them.
What, going to Google and typing in her name is too hard for you?
Which once again proves my prediction...
The Internet will be renamed "The Internet brought to you by Google," and the main portal will be google.com.
Also banned... the pagan ritual of four-square. "Game" remnants usually consist of a square divided into four quadrants with numerical identification (i.e. digits 1 to 4) or a single slash through one corner (indicating the current leader, "king" or "server.")
When I took a Freshman Physics Lab 4 years ago at a VERY large university (which wishes to remain anonymous), we had the worst recording-devices: Apple IIe's. Connected to a dual disc recording device (one disc serves as a platform, the other rotates freely and is optically tracked), these things produced pages and pages of disc speed measurements, resulting in a minor headache trying to read and subsequently graph the results in Excel.
Man, am I glad that's over. From what I hear, they just replaced that system last year with early-Pentium boxen...
Again, these ploys are for the nave consumer that sees "Wow, 17ppm. That's much better than Brand X at 14ppm." It's like the Auto Industry's gas mileage B.S.-timates. Sure you can get close to those numbers (and indeed, much better than the printers, apparently.) but it's the same idea. Promise the world, deliver next to nothing.

I know it's pretty "cool" that the man formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince writes in that style, but does anyone really think he actually "translates" it into PrinceSpeak? The module exists, or someone's written a translation program just for him. I don't think i have the patience 2 sit there & shorthand everything.
I don't know how the transponders are distro'd in California, but with New York's EZpass, (and I'm sure any other EZpass coverage areas) we receive the device in a metal-oxide "static-free" bag, of which we are informed, "If you do not wish to use your EZpass for a toll, place the device in the metal-oxide bag provided and place in glove box."
So the simple solution: Leave it on your window for the toll, remove it after leaving the booths, and replace it when you need to leave the highway...
Slashdot Mirror
I thought that this would've made the List - You'd think it would be the biggest story since we landed on the moon...
In other news - Slashdot should amass a collection of the most abused clichs in comments of 2002.
In Soviet Russia --- Dead Horse beats you!

In Soviet Russia - Pr0n whacks off to you!
....when the sounds of IBM's 20MB drive reading or writing could be felt in your teeth...
Ahh, those were the days.

As geeky as this may sound, this thing's cool!
I figured "webcam=crappy picture", but after checking out the samples, I'll definitely tune in for the webcast (if there is any)
Nothing like giving space/tech/cool stuff people another way to watch the launch.

Hell, everyone should remember RedHat circa v5.0 installation support in Redneck.
Us rednecks need fancy schmancy writin' n readin' support too!
BRING BACK REDNECK SUPPORT FOR REDHAT!
Whaa? U62 can't possibly go off the air!
Where else am I going to catch Raul's Wild Kingdom, Bowling for Burgers, and the latest Spatula City ads?
Syndication, nay.
Restrict advances in technology. Save U62!
Mabye we should sell some more U62 stock. Anyone got a line on the going price?
