My solution is to do nothing.
Modern society's obsession with disinfecting everything is weakening our immune systems. Your body is meant to be exposed to these kind organisms and such exposure strengthens your resistance.
In that case, may I defecate on your keyboard? It's for your own good you know.
Butts are pretty clean; you keep them covered in fabric after you wash them.
I'd have to disagree. While my arse is generally covered by fabric (except when bathing or streaking), I have to wonder how you came to this conclusion of cleanliniess. I wash my hands about 8 times a day. I wash my arse exactly once per day. Now granted, I'm no mathematician, but...
Also, last time I checked, my hands do not expel noxious gas and/or excrement.
Maybe I'm just weird, but I'd much rather shake your hand that grab your bare ass.
Yes, I agree that it's a very different process here. I was simply pointing out that homes made of concrete, regardless of construction method, are not unusual things.
Concrete homes are few and far between here in the US, so many/. readers may not have been aware of this fact.
Bizzarely enough Henry Ford (IIRC) was convinced of the viability of concrete houses and actually constructed a protype with the furniture poured in place as a demostration. I remember seeing this in Popular Mechanics as one those 50 years ago bits but I can't find anything on the web.
FYI- concrete homes are very popular in many parts of the world, particularly in nations that don't have huge forests like the US. In most middle eastern countries, ALL the residential structures are concrete - they simply don't have trees to cut down and make lumber. There are some great plusses to having concrete homes:
- fires are less of a hazard. flames are typically confined to a single room and can't ravage an entire apartment complex.
- termites. nuff said.
- noise. don't have to worry about the band practicing in the living room next door.
-durability. concrete doesn't dry rot, mildue, or warp.
As a fan of the manga I really wish to see this new Appleseed - the old movie was quite awful.
Half the fun in the old one was all the Engrish. I think they spelled "Olympus" about 8 different ways in various scenes. Olumpis, Olumpas, Olimpus, etc. I think they finally got it spelled right towards the end of the movie;-)
What ever happened to "choose your own adventure" books?? That's what I think of when I hear the phrase. Am I THAT old??? Anyhow, anyone else here remember TradeWars 2002?;-)
No, but they paid extra at the dealership for the special undercoating.

This would be much much more exciting if they found spice.
Other rover was actually taken by a sand worm.
In other news, new rovers will roll without rhythm.:)
Little do we know that these "rovers" are actually harvesters....
What happens if the rover DOES find water? Would it sink or would it float? Logic dictates that if it floats, it is therfore a witch and must be burned.

Question: Have any of you here actually used any bluetooth devices?? Not not in a gee-whiz playing around kind of way, but actually really used bluetooth to get something done. I haven't, not do I know anyone who has.
I've never understood that impression. Why does everyone think employers want to know what you were doing at all times in the past few years? Isn't the point of listing jobs actually to describe your prior work experience?
It's not an "impression", it's a fact. I've been asked point blank by several employers what I was doing in this gap between X and Y on my resume.
Another option is to simply leave off the super-short term stints. In these times, it's not unusual for someone to go several months between positions...
But employers don't like resume gaps. They will want to know what you were doing in that time. Working "short-term temporary projects" sounds much better than "uuhhh... umm... looking for a job?".
You're wrong. "Theft" in the piracy sense has nothing to do with depriving your pal of anything.
I suppose we don't have a good term to describe this. "Piracy" certainly doesn't fit unless you equate copying a CD to murder and pilaging on the high seas.
"Intellectual Property Rights Infringement" works but is too wordy and just sounds dumb.
But you can steal copies of music and movies. Yet perhaps that's your point - that this is incorrect use of 'steal': Unless you're saying going to Best Buy and taking a bunch of music and movies without paying for them isn't stealing.
I don't agree. If you "steal" something, you are depriving someone else of said item. If I make an illegal copy of my pal's music CD, I am not depriving him of his ability to listen to the CD, ergo, it isn't theft.

Yeah, right. Whatever you say pal. Everyone knows that overclocked CAS2 DDR400 is the most stable kind of me

toilet bowl gets cleaned with the really nice smelling (wtf is that, anybody know, mint?) blue stuff every two weeks or so...
If you think the blue piss puck smells like "mint", then I must advise you; what you've been chewing for the past fifteen minutes is probably NOT gum.

Or, optionally, find a thirty-foot-long alien ray gun and turn it into Shockwave. Don't forget Unicron!
I think unicron is what I use to schedule jobs on my Sun workstation.
And isn't there a distributed computing project somewhere to find Optimus Prime?.
Hmmmmm...

Just food for thought...
Wow, they need a new webmaster. That web site is sooo 1994.
I find it amazing how many computer "experts" are dead in the water when the mouse doesn't work or the GUI doesn't come up as expected.
These same so-called "experts" tend to have MCSE certificates proudly displayed on their cubical wall.
In Soviet Russia, the command line uses YOU!

Is this like when they inject rats daily, with three times their body-weight of caffeine, and then say that caffeine gives you cancer?
You are making the assumption that people on /. shave, use hair dryers, or any type of personal grooming.
/. are "people".
I think you are also making one, assuming most posters on
On the other hand, there's not a lot of O2 around on Mars, so I bet they last a while longer than my Ford Fiesta.
ANYTHING would last longer than a Ford. American cars are garbage.
I hope they rust-proofed the Rovers.
No, but they paid extra at the dealership for the special undercoating.
