I can imagine these inks used on quarterly statements. Shareholders get the copy with all the black ink; just don't forget to flip the "red ink" switch when you send it to the IRS.
"Slac has an interest in such high-speed transfers as they have accumulated the largest known database in the world, which grows at one terabyte per day."

OK, OK, bad form replying to my own post. I've read with interest the discussion about Bush and his various shortcomings/strengths. May I just point out that nowhere in my 11 word post did I mention anything about his mental state or intelligence? I just thought it was funny that a made-up word was used. Anyone disagree that he makes up words? Does that make him an idiot? I'll leave that up to you.
When I made the comment, it was a funny little offhand remark. Why not just take it as that, rather than some kind of troll commentary on the office of the President or the man himself? If you didn't think it was funny, just skip it. Seriously.
Everyone knows that aluminum did not exist before 1992. It was at that time that the Reynolds corporation made a bid to take over the US Government. Reynolds, an alliance between the city of Marina Del Rey and Tom Arnold (look it up, I don't use Google because they track my searches) began producing "anti Illuminati medium" or a-lumin-um by extracting the "conductivity" from steel, a naturally occuring mineral.
Reynolds knew that the CIA and FBI were using mind control through the "cable networks" to persuade the population to upgrade to HBO, the mouthpiece for the Masonic Order of the Illuminati.
You all just think you remember aluminum existing before 1992 because you do not wear your beanies, and have been influenced by HBO. Still need proof? Consider these facts:
1. If you travel outside the US, you will find that no other countries use or have heard of aluminum. (England has something similar called aluminium, which was developed in tandem by Margaret Thatcher's shadow government.)
2. If you travel to another country and they say that they have aluminum, you have not actually travelled to another country, but are on a HBO-enduced mind control trip.
3. Aluminum does not get hot in the oven. I've made thousands of fish sticks in the years after 1992, and no matter how badly I burn them, I can always lift them by the corners of the aluminum foil I placed them on.
The Back to the Future trilogy has probably been one of the most highly anticipated DVD releases, mainly due to the age and enduring popularity...
Age and enduring popularity are no guarantee long-term of success; just ask Nora Bayes. The most popular vaudeville entertainer for the first quarter of last century. Anyone heard of her now?
Maybe it was the transfer quality that made people forget.
My wife buys $49 DVD players for my little kid so if they break out of warranty we are out of just $50 (a cheap VCR costs more).
That's the difference. From your post, I infer that your kids go through a DVD player every once in a while. I have a '70's VCR that has been spilled on, dropped, had tapes jammed into backwards, etc. by children, and it still works. The same for my 1000-pound '70s microwave. You're talking about your DVD player that has worked for the last two years, I've got electronics that have lasted over 30.

Well, with a corrupt investment manager from MSDW, Charles Schwab or Fidelity Investments, and considering the present state of the economy, I'd estimate that the $40 billion investment today would be worth, uh, about $3.50 (pronounced tree-fiddy). Maybe the space station was the best investment. At least we have the option to turn it into the solar system's most expensive Mariott and make some of that money back.
While not pixel by pixel, the WSDOT Puget Sound Area Traffic page does give a very good representation of what's happening at any given moment on Seattle's interstates and highways (I5, I405, I90, hwy167, 522 and 520). The combination of speed sensors and a lot of traffic cameras really helps me plan my Bothell-Seattle commute (which sometimes constitutes a 1-hour 12 mile drive).
You're right, that's too much to pay. Since this is Amurica, they should sweeten the deal by selling it in bulk, say advertising it as £8 ($12) per full megabyte. Be sure to point out in huge letters that it's a FULL MEGABYTE. That's twice the data!!*
(switch to.5 point font) *for twice the price. Plus tax.
...Not just commute traffic -- people do a lot more in their lives than just go to and from work. I'm talking about shopping, going out to eat, etc. within the immediate area. The monorail isn't going to do squat for that. In fact, it will probably bring in more people and make the situation worse.
How are people riding to West Seattle going to make traffic in West Seattle worse? Are they going to strap their cars on top of the monorail and unload them there to drive them around? It might increase walking traffic, if that's what you meant. But I have no problem with drivers inconvenienced by foot traffic.
I'd comment on the atrocity of providing simulated rewards for behavior that would be unacceptable in the real world, but I don't want to harm my karma.

Eight bottles of gin - $65.00
$8.13 per bottle? I can't imagine who would buy such cheap gin. If I were your boss, I'd see that as enough justification to fire you on the spot.
Just what I want, a 14" HDTV. The picture will be extra sharp, and I only have to sit 6" away from the screen to appreciate it.

I had no idea our president was a Slashdot contributor.
I can just vision the Steve Jobs version of the White House

Must...not...make...Gary Coleman...or Emmanuel Lewis...joke...too...late...
Remove the bugs.
Nah,it just wasn't funny. Ah well. So much for my stand-up career.
"Nature's timepiece, a two-sided cylindrical protein...
I thought about how a cylinder could have two sides for a second, and realized that of course it's two sided...it has an inside and an outside.
Ba-dum-bum.

You can find more information on the spherical communication technology of airships at this site.
Oh, wait, that was communication technology of spherical airships. That information is found here.

Good luck to this guy with defending his patent. A cursory search found prior art here.

The Stranger, a local weekly, has some great coverage of the monorail issue.
That is, if you were pro-monorail. Lots of dish on the anti-monorail campaigners, too.

soap anyone?
Anyone think of anything else?
