Is this really *news*? Researchers at the beginning of the century figured out that the chords were used as a substitute for writing...
And since the chords have various colors, it's not really base 2... 10 colors would make it base 20 (since there are 2 positions), and so on!
Call me when they decipher it.......... this is not news.
Ok, where to begin. For some reason I always notice the number 111 when I see it out in public. 111 is considered an unlucky score in cricket.
There are many other reasons why I have an interesting relationship with 111. For example, it's the number of losses the St. Louis Cardinals had in 1898. But I digress. 111 minus 42 is 69. If that doesn't seal the deal, then consider: 111 * 910 is 101010 (the binary form of 42). Still not convinced? Consider the fact that the English call 111 a Nelson. This is said to be because Admiral Horatio Nelson managed to lose one arm, one eye and one ball in battle. Hence 111 equals a Nelson.
111 is, truly, the ultimate lucky number, or unlucky number, depending on how you look at it. There's also a Lord of the Rings allusion but I think that's stupid. Oh, and it's also the number of goats you've anally seduced.
A fake CNN new article, generated with said news generator, featured a story claiming that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen (the infamous twins who began their carreer starring on Full House as an single, individual girl) had decided to attend Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, Missouri. The story spread like wildfire on the campus, and around Springfield.
**The rumor was so widespread (thanks to the genuinity of the fake CNN news generator) that the story actually hit local news that night!**
I tried to stomp out the rumor in it's infancy explaining to everyone that sent it to me that it was fake, but to no avail.
That's right, I would like to see multiple mouse pointers. Society is stuck on the singular-mouse idea. We need to move beyond this 20th century dogma and start developing a multiple-mouse environment. If we can put a man on the moon, we can add a second mouse pointer to a GUI.
BUILT IN HOMELAND SECURITY ALERT SYSTEM
Are we at orange or yellow? I have no idea! But if my GUI incorporated the Terror Alert System into the desktop, I would always know precisely how scared I should be. Right now there is a 14-Click pathway to information about our current Alert Level. With integrated Homeland Security Alertware, the 14-Click barrier could be broken, and America would be that much more safer. If the next popular GUI doesn't feature Alertware, then the terrorists have already won.
SUPERFLAT 3D-THIN BUBBLE BUTTONS
In the beginning, all buttons and menus were flat. Then, Windows developed buttons and menus with a 3D appearance. Windows 95 took buttons and menus to a new level by incorporating the 3D-Thin look. While these new buttons appeared 3D, they had that appealing Thin look. Windows XP revolutionized Three Dimensional flatness by inventing the 3D-Thin bubble buttons. These button, although appealingly 3D, are so flat that they appear to be bubbles. I don't know about you, but this is already getting old. We need to add another dimension of flatness. I would like to see Superflat 3D-Thin Bubble buttons! Although Three Dimensionally thin and bubbly, these buttons would appear to be Superflat. I could get a lot more done, as a user, this way.

Ah, I do that myself and I didn't even know it was called something. That's how I remember the names of people I meet, too. I won't forget the difference between lsrDave and fnyDave. That was dumb.
The Block Diagram at the bottom of the interview is great.

Now the Jaguar came out quite a while back, and if I remember correctly, quite a while before the N64.
I remember there was some "catch" to the "64-bt" aspect. Was it really 64-bit?
Forget ads in online gaming, I've had the idea for years that the government should flip the gold standard (and the modern nothingness standard) the bird and sell off the back of dollar bills as adspace.
The Ad-Standard. Heard it here first folks.
Just like with all my other ideas, you steal it from me and I'll hit you over the head with a New Oversized Big Bertha Golf Club... the New Standard in Golfing
I, too, attempted the feat using cheese wiz. I found the result to be much much slower than the actual speed of light, but with a fantastic cheese wiz flavor.
why was this story a "privacy issue" as opposed to a "mozilla issue"?
not that i don't read every story, anyway... but seems like it should be both or instead mozilla.

111 is the greatest/worst number ever.

Are you really that addicted to television? Life without satellite TV might be just what the doctor ordered.
I agree. That's what I thought of when I first read it. We got a victim ball.
Yet it is one hundred dollars cheaper than the very first 4-speed CDR burner I bought.
No one reads anything anymore... unless it's on the internet (or slashdot :D ).
Post it again when a band I care about does it.
As long as you actually completed the "milestones" as you say you have... :-D
Hi, nice to meet you, here's my shareware. ;)
I heard P Diddy was going to serve Callipyge Cocktails at his next party. RIP Biggie (new meaning there maybe?)
Yeah I saw this on CNN and BBC.
Ah, I do that myself and I didn't even know it was called something. That's how I remember the names of people I meet, too. I won't forget the difference between lsrDave and fnyDave. That was dumb.
Lance Bass is going to buy a million cans so he can get the Golden Ticket.
Oh dear, then I misread my own post as a post by CmdrTaco. He's taking over my brain.
When I first read this I misread Chris Tresco for CmdrTaco.
OOPS Here is the link http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=882/ddj0008a/0008af 1.htm
Hope it works
