In breaking news, market fluff has been found to have super-conductive capabilites.
This substance, also known as corporate BS (cBS2) is available almost anywhere where products are sold. Due to its ready availability and near-infinite supply, specialists are looking into its computing usages.
Marketing fluff has long been known to transfer information at a very great rate, often causing the specs of a product to arrive before the product itself is created. This, using the theory of relativity, means that the cBS2 is transfering information at a rate greater than the speed of light, making it the fastest transfer medium that has been found up to this point.
Why do you think drugs cost so much? It isn't the production of them. Some of it is the R&D. But the majority of it is because of the massive testing they have to go through.
Would you be willing to pay $120 for the "Pre-tested" version of Warcraft III? Not to mention it wouldn't be out until sometime in early 2010.
You'd be tired within 10 minutes flailing around wildly like that. He could've done the operations that he did with a mouse and a video editing program with 1/4 the effort that he took to gesture wildly at the (Annoyingly) transparent screen. Not to mention the downside that they actually showed in the movie (When he went to shake the inspectors hand the computer read it as "Let's throw this window into obscurity")
I was just thinking that we should change it to a more literary version of the current one without changing the meaning.
After all, "Can't trust Microsoft" is pretty bland. Any artistic people out there willing to give it a go? (I would, but my brain is fried from constant exposure to monitor radiation)
That's why Geeks have taken to traveling in packs. Sure, the gorgeous babe might have better anti-geek senses, and might be able to run faster, but if we use our superior planning ability we are able to bring them down. Occasionally. 10% at best.
"I suppose their next revelation will be that users don't like swift kicks to their nuts, either."
This was assumed by the majority of the population until the study proposed in late 1999 that postulated that 1 out of every 3 people actually -do- like swift kicks to their nuts. Results are still unverified.
"If you didn't like it once, by the 5th or 6th time you might have changed your mind."
Why don't you just drink gasoline? You might not like it the first or second time, but by the 5th or 6th time you will be so brain-damaged that you'll actually like it! (But not as brain-damaged as repeated viewings of Zoolander will render you)
Or maybe, just maybe, the studio -itself- is causing the change in the earth's shape, just to generate publicity for the upcoming movie. (Which I have never heard of)
There are Australian midgets?!? That'll revolutionize the humor industry! Just think Crocodile Mini-Dundee. On second thought, let's not.
All words curiously out of sync with lip movement.
Light saber duel rages through area until, with a single slice, Luke's hand is chopped off.
Darth Vader: My sword has tasted blood and is sated. Luke: I can't even commit Seppuko. My honor is tainted. Darth Vader: Obi Wan lied to you. I am your father. Luke: Nooooooo. Darth Vader: Not that I'd admit that to anyone else after your shameful defeat.
Luke jumps off edge.
It would explain Obi Wan. We got the whole ancestral spirit thing going there.
We'll set up this shop where someone in the front reads from the book and everyone else copies down the words into -new- books. Heck, you could even add caligraphy to the words to spice it up some.
First you hypothesized that humans may be the cause of the mm change in the earth's size. Then you advocated the destruction of the human race for the good of the Universe.
Is it just me, or is that not a logical next step?
Actually, at this point, most of us Slashdot posters have been replaced with chatbots and mine-detection robots. As we lack the programming language to simulate your ideal "Humor", we have simply posed as programmers and accountants.
To be honest, you're the only real human left. Sorry we missed you. You'll be getting a knock on your door shortly.
Don't worry... this is just the world pulled over you eyes.

You're stuck in the past dude!

Cars. Feh.

You left out one major factor:
Cost.

What a foolish operating system.
"...MS CEO Bill Gates Jr..."
Yeah right. Gates Sr. will be the first one to fully-cybernetize his body. He'll be with us for the next thousand years.
We can rebuild him. We can make him faster, stronger; we have the technology.
Never claimed it wasn't.

On Guarde. Cliche.
Wouldn't it be more like "Wolf in sheep's clothing"?
Boy crying wolf would be more up virus scanner's alley.
And it is getting to the point that "Can't trust Microsoft" is a Cliche.
It is those middle-agers that are the danger.
DOWN WITH THE MIDDLE-AGERS!

I think we already tried this.
We shot for a nation of "Peace and Love" and all we ended up with were Volkswagon buses and tie-die.
Of course, the medication wasn't exactly standarized...
Except for that damn parrot that learned only 2 phrases:
"Police Brutality!" and
"Unconstitutional Search and Seizure"
He was known as the Don Pollie.
"But personally, I like to think the universe is running X windows, and these galaxies are simply screen-savers."

DON'T MOVE THE MOUSE!
You moved the mouse.

"If you're a US Citizen you do, ever since 1987 I believe."
You sure of that date? I could've sworn it was closer to 1984...
I resent that!
I love well-planned and carefully choreographed violence too!
I'm sick of the stereotypes!
NOOOOOOOoooooooo...
I'm Canadian!

I'm going to be rich!
That was a remarkable leap to a conclusion.

Wait a second.
You want to hold programmers responsible for the work they do?
Oh. Damn. Talk about a bad precident.
