Let's all send him messages like, "ONE WAY" and "RIGHT TURN ONLY"
That should make NYC streets even more interesting than usual for a while.:)
Orkut has a much more annoying language problem
on
Language Tempest At Orkut
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Orkut doesn't support international character encoding, so if you and your friends speak a language that doesnt use the Roman alphabet (Japanese or Chinese, for example), then you're just screwed.
It's crazy seeing all these Japanese Orkut users (there are quite a few) posting to each other in romaji and broken English.
Wow.. so pretty soon you'll be able to hook up an amplifier to a soda machine and shatter the skulls of anyone who wanders by.
This is going to be an interesting future o_O
Will Zubrin have anything to do with this project?
He came and spoke at my university a couple years ago, and I was really impressed with his knowledge and intelligence, not to mention his incredible charisma. (Gotta be like Wis17/Int17/Cha18, at least)
Anyway, if he's related to this then I definitely have high hopes for it:)
However, recent research has isolated the elements of the plant that work for pain relief from the other elements, such as those that cause the "high" that can permanently damage the brain's pleasure receptors after frequent use.
One word: wrong
Okay, a few more words. You were doing okay until you got to that part. Show me any scientific study that even remotely suggests that there are any long-term neurologial effects of marijuana usage. You can't. Because there are none. If you want people to accept you as a "normal person" despite being dependent on psychoactive drugs to function, then don't go around spreading ignorance and misinformation about those that aren't on your shopping list.
Why is everyone still calling them "ID", no doubt pronouncing it "eye dee"? It's never ID, it has never been ID. It's sometimes written iD, but the name of the company has always been pronounced "id".
I mean, I used to say "eye dee" too, until about the time doom 2 came out and I noticed that that was wrong.:P
Before John Romero made this room,
a lot of DOOM's levels had pretty consistent ceiling heights. When John created this room, he got the id team into his office
to check it out and everyone was impressed: here was a very tall and interestingly lit room
Umm... yeah.. just a BIT Romero-centric maybe? Jeez, what is WRONG with this guy? >_
My favorite part of the article is where it mentions how Einstein has become a kind of "scientific santa". It's true, in a way his face has become like the face of science, and the persona of "Einstein" is already mostly myth to most people. This might be a neat insight into how other famous figures in history developed into the over-simplified cultural icons that they are today (genghis khan, siddhartha gautama, moses, alexander the great, joan of arc, etc).
Honest opinions? No, no, this is slashdot. Karma points are there for rewarding unfunny one-liners and little pessimistic remarks. It's exactly that "honest opinion" crap that karma points are meant to filter out.
I haven't seen the "imagine a beowulf cluster of these!" remark yet, but wait for it.. it'll come. And it'll be +5 Insightful too:P

Oh by the way, here's some support for that fact if you want it; from a site created and maintained by the enola gay's then-pilot Paul W. Tibbits.
From the site:
8 Nov 45 Arrived Roswell Army Air Field, New Mexico.
The enola gay (the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima during WW2) was stationed out of Area 51. True story.
now, how long until we have nanoyogurt?
XviD owned ?? oohhhh yeahhh BloodBR ownz XviD - sorry admin leak@hackermail.com

Soo... where's the download link?
Most importantly, it's the best place in the world for a constant stream of pics of cute japanese girls :D
I am so jealous of you I want to die. That's all.
Don't tell me the RIAA are a bunch of hypocritical, dishonest bastards! Now I have nothing left to believe in.
Clown technology has really come a long way
The plot really jived with my strong anti-hell demon political stance.
So how come Atlantis is still the lost city if people keep discovering it? :\
Pretty soon we can have a real living lego maniac (tm)
Sweet.
It's about time we started working on things like this. I'm ready for my bionic eyeballs any time now, guys.

how far someone will go to cheat at tetrinet

3500 calories is a pound of fat or a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Do the math ;)
This is such an interesting story! Just like when it was posted two days ago! :)
