Dear MPAA, My ipaddress is 199.2.120.89. My slashdot username is my real name. I download most of my movies off suprnova.org. Oh yea, and I'm not afraid.
Please, stop being so fucking arrogant. You're not invincible. You're not invisible. You're not safe (unless you happen to be living abroad - in which case, what are you bragging about?).
Excuse the bluntness, but jesus christ. People's lives have been ruined by this sort of shit and you're dancing around like you're some sort of special exception?
Good for you for not being caught yet, but if/when you do you won't have my sympathy.
Here's a story I wrote about this really cool lightsaber.
Little Johnny: Today I'll be talking about basketball. This is a basketball (points with lightsaber) Lightsaber: (angrily) mweeeeeeeeeeee (chops off Tiny Tim's head) Tiny Tim: (crying) Arrgh, me f**ing head. Lightsaber: mweeeeeeeee!!!
It's actually fairly simple. In QC, you can perform any quantum operations on the qubits, but you cannot look at the bits without losing some information. Therefore, what you do is use error correcting codes, by superimposing the quantum states onto a set of photons whose states you observe, but do not use. What they have done here is basically taken the unknown quantum state of a photon onto a superposition set of three photons, and you can find the state of any one photon by observing the other two photons.
Ah, much better. Thank you for putting it in layman's terms.
Now, if you'll excuse me I think I feel my head exploding...
While I was a missionary someone sent us 10 P I's. Out of those 10 we actually got 2 of them to work by skavaging the lot. And the donators thought they were doing us a favor...
I almost understand where you're coming from.
That said, they were two computers you wouldn't have otherwise had.
Credit where credit is due - your missionary work is admirable - but if you're so hard done by, why not just chuck them out and stop bitching about how difficult these people make your life? If they were so "absolutely worthless", why did you bother pulling ten computers apart just to get two working?
Slashdot Mirror
This reminds me of the time my trendy grandfather gave me a pirated copy of Jagged Alliance 2 for Christmas :) Poppy, I salute you!
Shoot the rabbit and WIN AN IPOD!!!
For some reason I read that as "Shoot the rabbit and WIN POO".
I'm glad I was wrong.
We all know he's a he. Women have better things to do with their time than crack software.
Yeah. Like cooking my dinner.
*runs and hides*
I was about to say "did anybody else read that as 'Viagra'", but then I read it properly.
Cases?? of 'virgina'??? I'm there!

"48% already know this.
The other 52% will learn so over the next 4 years."
If they haven't learned already, I have little faith.
Can you say "Internet Explorer"?
I say, that until I saw the sum of cubes I internally denied the existance of negative numbers.
Okay I know this is slashdot and there's been some pretty nerdy posts before, but jesus
Then the ninjas totally flipped out and started stabbing people in the face while others took turns wailing on electric guitars.
... that was worth reading for that line alone!
lmao
Ninjas are the best mammals ever.
Fuck politics, and politicians. :)
Actually I take that back. I would never, ever touch that Andrea chick. Ever.
Andrea Mason looks like a crack addict?
:)
Fuck politics, and politicians.
Gtk Layout Containers
The ones I frequently find myself using:
GtkTable - which is much like GridBag without the need of the overly verbose GridBagConstraints object.
GtkHBox
GtkVBox
GtkHPaned
Saturn has an F-ring huh? You'd think you'd find an F-ring somewhere closer to Uranus.
Hey, it's not so bad:
1. Don't preview, post without link.
2. Get complaint.
3. Post with link.
4. KARMA!
could this double as a laser pointer?
Probably, but it could be highly inaccurate depending on what it is you were pointing at.
Why not do as I and many others do, and use an ever-versatile lightsaber?
Lightsabers are cool, and by cool I mean totally sweet. Lightsabers cut people's heads off and don't even think twice about it.

'Define "sex"
I want a Mozilla Media Player: BoomFox :)
Getting Gtk# running on Windows can be a bitch.
:)
So try this
named after Bill or Jack, Gates or Valenti?
Good idea! Let's call it Wanker Weasel!
Go do something worthwhile and interesting, like the OP did.
:)
Then you can come back here and bitch about grammar.
*scowls* Timmy, you're not trying to debug "Hello, World!" again, are you!??
Return of the phreak? :P
Actually, it kinda sounds like how you would say "beowulf" in Japanese if you leave out those numbers ... :/
