A friend invited me to Orkut. I signed up. It was fun. I logged on to message boards. Jimmy has a cat. It was fun like this post. People have pictures. It is neat. I like socks. Will you be my friend?
99.9% of all "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." websites post stories about dumbass statistics to start lame flaming posts of MPAA, RIAA or Microsoft.
Yeah... Netcraft confirms: News for Nerds is dying.
That's just great. Lets overflow landfill after landfill with disposable view-once or twice DVDs...
So I suppose you are REALLY going to be against my harddrive that degrades in 4 hours idea. Cause everyone knows internet pirates use harddrives.
Maybe the movie industry will license my 3D goggles technology that makes your eyeballs fall out after 2.5 hours of use. Then you'll never see that movie twice off that dvd!
They deliberately make it confusing so that the average Joe gets screwed into spending more money than s/he should.
You would do well to picture it the size of a payphone or parking meter and hear a voice asking you to put quaters into that giant thing you're carryin next to your ear.
Just write payphone on the cover so you realize what it is when you go to use it.
Fact is if I look at my inbox - something like 95 % of all Spam promote questionable american products, 2-3 % is in russian so I don't even know what it promotes -
In Soviet Russia, Spam promotes you!
...and I have yet to see ONE spam mail that actually try to sell a Chinese product.
So you're saying Walmart doesn't have your email address?
The Samizdat report recommends that the U.S. government should invest $5 billion in research and development efforts that produce true open source products, such as BSD and MIT license-based open source.
There is an excellent example in the book where PT Barnum defeats his competition by embracing them and debunking them at the same time.
In PT Barnums case he was losing audience to a Hypnotist across town. So PT Barnum got his own Hypnotist, but instead of amazing everyone he had the subject break out of hynpnosis and claim it is fake. Thus everyone stopped believing in hypnosis and came back to watch the monkeys.
In Brown's case he is recommending the US invest $5 billion in FreeBSD and such while at the same time claiming open source is bad.
The contradiction is obvious as is his false embrace of anything open sourced.
Most coutries grow out of this type of weenie size measurement. We grew out of it, you should try it too.
<homer on>
Well my friend, as an American I can tell you that after just looking in my pants I am still awe struck by the size. Bigger is better and I think ICANN should double it's budget. Now if you will excuse me I'm going to go biggy-size my Happymeal for lunch and go surf the big American internet were 90% of it is written in American.
You brits can keep you electricity and television. We have iraqi oil and computer monitors now! Ha!

[Trent Reznor] decided to ditch the effort [and pull out the Nail gun] since it was taking too long for them to get done with the game.
In other news: small Office in small town in Texas turns into a seen out of the video game Doom when local geek heros attempt long term project with cool dark angry rocker!
Bertha, receptionist of small insurance business in the same building, heard a scream through the wall what sounded like, "I'M GONNA FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL!"
Geeks: Maybe we can't be rockstars ourselves but we can enslave one for our long term code complete idealistic projects until they turn on us and fuck us like animals!
I do a large amount of photoshop work, and having 1 gig of email storage ONLINE at all times would be a godsend. When files are larger than 4 or 5 megs, I have to burn them to a disk and lug it around....
Someone here should point out the obvious:
Google is sitting pretty on this hype since they will A.) limit the attachment size in each email and B.) in effect probably only need to add storage after a long time for the users who uploads 5 megs in every email.
If you want to use it as free storage how much of your time will be wasted uploading limited file sizes over time?
There are better ways which are much cheaper than your time.
This is google's gigantic marketing machine in motion before an IPO.
No amount of red lights, ticket fines or gas price hikes is going to stop everyone from speeding.
For gods sake Americans love affair with automobiles rests on the pure unbridled power they are allowed to exercise at their own descretion every morning when they go to work.
Road rage is cause by red lights and traffic jams since it takes away this power.
Pretty simple really. I get a rush flying down the highway a little faster than the speed limit signs state.
In an otherwise growing controlled society were we all follow the rules driving can be quite rewarding.

I thought so.

Don't try and work and post on /. at the same time.
You're bound to screw one of them up.

It's an inside joke between the chip makers.
These are the chips for morons.
You mean like the GeForce MX4000 instead of MX440!
That's Geforce MX FOUR THOUSAND!!! (not four hundred.)

Go ahead. We're all waiting...
Otherwise we're just posting jokes or complaining about the patent office.
Only if I can get the Hello Kitty version!

American use of them please provide a nice
summary here of all the reasons.
Please no flamebait mods. I think everyone would
love to have it all in one place.
What are the pros and cons of driving a car in America?
I can tell you I've been to Texas and getting
around anywhere in that state requires a car or at
least a motorcycle.
Cars in cities where too much congestion occurs drives
everyone a crazy, but does it make automobiles so evil?
Personally I love my bike, but love driving even more... besides rush hour!
Then you'll probably crash into 1000 kilograms of Canadian bacon.
Got a sunburn yesterday.
Maybe the earth is trying to protect itself from all the wild fires, etc..

Nevermind Weapons of Mass Destruction. GWB and Rumsfield will be going after the cameras shortly.
Sounds like a good plan... are you sure your wife won't mind?
Wait until he buys her the house first!!!
All parking meters in Montreal run Linux.
1/3 of all spam mail is sent via Linux servers.
99% of popups come from Linux.
Think this is a karma thing for bashing windows?
Of course the recipient would need a lot of space too :)
Ggigantic corporations need the masses to be asses to succeed.

We will see.

Can anyone think of more possibilities when satelite photography/videography become pretty common to the public a few years or decades from now?
The military uses have been in effect for years.
As always business is now getting a peice.
Will the public get a useful peice of this?
