If you put enough monkeys at enough typewriters, eventually they will type all the works of Shakespeare.
That's only if the letters the monkeys type are uniformly distributed across the keyboard, which with monkeys won't be the case. More likely they'll simply smash at the keys, resulting in repeating patterns of letters occupying the same general area of the typewriter, which won't give you the works of Shakespeare no matter how many monkeys you have.
Now, if you took a random character generator and ran it long enough, that could eventually give you Hamlet, but monkeys just won't do it.
Unfortunately, some of the newer iRivers don't work as USB devices anymore, requiring you to transfer files to them via Windows Media Player. There's a firmware hack floating around the tubenet to fix that problem, but I'm pretty sure it voids your warranty.
I have one that cost me a grand total of $1. I got another one later on that could also receive AM for less than $5. Why would I need to pay $250 for yet another one?
So, in the future, games will consist almost entirely of gratuitous superrr sloow-mooo to create completely artificial drama and any character development will consist of said characters sitting on a rock and talking into the camera?
Personally, I'd be far more interested in hearing about the future of storytelling from someone who actually knows how to tell a story.
No, he's trying to railroad an overly narrow definition of torture through Congress. The GGP stated that there are some people trying to do the opposite but, of course, didn't give any examples.
Who would do that? Can you provide any examples at all of anyone attempting to push through an overly broad definition of torture, or are you just making shit up so that you can spit out a tu quoque fallacy?
There was never going to be any seventh, eighth or ninth book. He always intended it to just be six parts. He also always intended Saruman to shoot first and for the swords to be walkie-talkies, but printing technology wasn't developed to the point where he could truly realise his vision at the time.
There's a big difference between a chemical compound that has certain effects on humans and a parasitic mold that uses human bodies as a host, as in the GGP.
How the hell did an organism that had never been exposed to anything remotely like terrestrial life adapt to use a human as a host within a few seconds?
I'm pretty sure IBM actually licensed Win3.1 from Microsoft for that.

A few years ago I got an old 386 laptop from a pawn shop and, in my quest to find something useful to do with it, I stumbled across a program called Arachne that provided a reasonably full-featured graphical web browser as well as email and other miscellanious 'net functionality for plain ol' DOS. It's not free, but IIRC the shareware version wasn't overly crippled.

So let's see your equations, then.

Or, even worse, what if they put Mario's name on a lame Tetris clone! Nah, even Nintendo wouldn't do something that stupid...
We need to find a way to make completely transparent circuit boards, chips, hard drive platters, etc. Look! An invisible computer!
Or, well, don't look. 'Cause it's invisible. Infer! The invisible computer!
Don't we have enough problems with AOL lusers on the tubes, now you want to give jungle animals connections?
VLB FTW!
Yeah, I'd forgotten how crap the DOS/Windows commandline utilities were...

Surpriseed? No. Pissed off, yes, but not surprised at all.
Speak for yourself let's set so double the killer delete select all.
This one?
Chuck Norris had them in 1976.

At least this sounds like it'll be a fair bit less painful than the old method.
4. Profit!
So where are our North Vietnamese history books?
