Good point. I think it'd be cool to make prosthetic fingers that are USB drives. Nobody would ever suspect you of carrying data, and imagine the looks on peoples' faces when you rip off a finger, plug it into a computer, and access your files.
Except a lot of ice (ex : much of Antarctica) is on land in the form of glaciers. If you melt the North Pole, you'll surely melt these glaciers too, and then we'll all be fucked. Well, not me, I'll become a Tibetian Monk. They have internet access, right ? I saw it in an IBM commercial.
Sorry, I seem to be a little confused on something. If SCO's stock is low, and then the price goes up, how does SCO get more money ? They would have to issue new stock, wouldn't they ?
Do people really sit around looking at their eye candy?
I'll brave an honest answer to this. Do you ever find your computing environment boring ? I would go crazy if my workspace looked exactly the same day after day, month after month. I occassionally change the background or the colour scheme, etc, but sometimes you just need to see something new. The purpose of eye-candy is that when you get bored you can go into the settings and piddle around, find something you like, and go back to work. It's similar to the "paint the room a different colour and the test scores go up" sort of thing, only it takes a lot less time and you don't have to smell paint.
A nice bit of wishful thinking. The law typically doesn't account for intent at all. There was a time when messes like that would be left to the judge's discretion, but we have a wonderful invention called "mandatory sentencing laws" which magically rid the world of all the bad people. Whether or not this person would go to jail for 25 or 30 years would be left entirely to the prosecutor, who is more often than not an elected official that needs some jiz for his next campaign.

I clicked on the link, fully expecting to see robot centipedes. After all, it's called "Centibots", so what else could it be, right ? My excitement piqued when I saw the title: "Linux Powered Robot Swarm Descends on LinuxWorld". Excellent! Not just a single centipede robot, but a whole swarm of them, attacking LinuxWorld! Imagine my disappointment when I learned that these were not killer Linux centipede robots, but a rather ordinary swarm of peaceful robots, powered by Linux. Oh well, I guess that's pretty cool too.

Ahh the Chewbacca defense, is that where you put a gun to your opponents head and bray incoherently like a goat ?

I think we need a version of Godwin's Law for poor old Duke Nukem Forever.

I bet it will be a piece of crap.

Thanks mosschops, I've used these directions 3 times for people I know.
Stop trying to find weird contexts in which you can brag about your crappy monitor.
Apparently that was the backup policy in this case as well.
I did, this has been my 4th 1999 !

What we need is to reward police departments for actually reducing the reported crime.
Give cash rewards to officers for harassing people who report crime. That'll fix the problem.
+1 insightful. :p

I realized the joke was invalid, but in doing so, I made it disappear.

If it really is a SuperKaramba clone, the attraction is watching your Dual 2GHz machine slow to a crawl while updating a god damn clock.
Meanwhile, excite.com sues the hell out of some, uhhh, things.
The icing on the cake is that you were also modded "Redundant".
Dupe.

Why can't it fit in 4.47 megs ?
Oh wait.
