Basically as I see it your apology is like a ream of blue paper, sure its colourful, and maybe a bit different to your stock standard white. However it is also a bit harder to read and is really only suitable for covers and specific other purposes.
I have been programming for 20 years, I have created extensive systems using Cobol and C++. I am able to debug programs from large memory dumps over the phone. In my time I have come across loads of code in many different languages, and I have to say even though a peice of code may documented it doesn't make it readable, understandable or even usable. Especially when said documentation starts with "I don't know exactly why this was included, what it does, or how it does it but the system won't work without it" or simply "Sorry about this..."
Oh great, instead of lightcycles you would have a guy that goes around doing the same thing every day. You know what that is? A crappier version of groundhog day, that's what!

Okay I have a serious question, is there any reason we can't create robots specifically designed to build an exact copy of themselves only half as small? Wouldn't this allow us to have teeny tiny robots in a few months?
Well you see that is where the US is different, I live in Australia and it costs me about $1 per minute to talk on the phone, whereas text messages are 20 cents after my 300 or so free messages.
Radiowaves have covered most of the civilised world for 50-60 years now, easy. If we were going to see some bad side effects they would have appeared by now.
Whenever there is an artical posted about any type of alternative energy there are about 400 trolls complaining that X energy isn't a good enough and that it is a complete waste of time and money to even try.
Here's the thing, if someone doesn't start the ball rolling it never will start, so its great that Mazda has done this, perhaps it will be a failure, perhaps it will do better then they expected but mainly this is planting seeds.
The first company to bring out competitive alternative energy cars is going to be in an excellent market position, the only way to do this is to actually start bringing out the cars once they see what works and what doesn't they will be miles ahead of the competition.
Frink: Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch
it, but I predict that within 100 years, computers will
be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive
that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.
My tactic is to leave one ear bud out and hidden away under my shirt. I've managed to convince everyone in the office that it is a hearing aid. Now even in the odd chance that I don't hear someone they just chalk it up to my bad hearing.
I still have fond memories of setting up all three computers in my house to play doom with three monitors. It was an elaborate setup but I loved it. Unfortunatly they phased it out in one of the later patches. I was the envy of all my friends.
I think this works better then a Polygraph because rather then look at symptoms and signs of lying this examines whether you are looking in your memory when recounting a story, or you are looking at your "creative" part of your brain. However if this is the case I suppose you could fool it by having someone tell you your false story and attempting to remember them telling you it.
Imagine you went to Egypt, had a great holiday there, packed your bags to head to another part of the country. You get to the airport only to find that when you got there you looked a little too Jewish for the authorities and as such were considered suspicious. So you aren't allowed to fly and are held in custody until you can convice them you aren't going to blow shit up.
That would suck.
And now you have a slight inkling of how an Arab-American feels.
What the hell are you talking about? Lynx still uses cookies, and the only real way to get around them is to turn them off, its not that hard. Other then that try not to use Internet Explorer and 99.8% of your problems will go away.
The best thing is that these days younger teachers have no idea what a slide rule looks like. You can bring one into a "no calculators" test and ace it!

What I really like is the fact that buffer overflows in sound files and save games suddenly became much more accessible!
What the hell? Who the hell wants to pay to recieve calls? Couldn't someone with a lot more money just call you and cost you heaps of money?

And you say you do bad analogies.

That is all well and good but you have to cram all that stuff into standard power supply box. I think that is where the big problem is.
People have used smartcards to enforce DRM for many many years. Sattelite reciever boxes are a shining example.

Come on that flag clearly falls under parody!

Wouldn't it be more efficient to triangle your wagons?
Just to clarify a "warning" includes a booting.

I prefer to think of it as 12 people and leave it at that.
As an Australian I am shocked! Until this day I had never, ever, heard this "joke" before. Ever. Its like the most orignal thing I've seen this month.
No, but to put it in some perspective. It would take over 6 minutes for a japanese school girl to type it all out on her phone.
