No no, you don't get it! He's simply introducing himself to the community at large. It's a play on words, really. Because, you see, his name is actually "New Here," so when someone utters (types) the phrase "New Here" his attention is drawn. When someone mentions my name incorrectly, I like to correct them as well! Of course, if people kept telling other people that their name is in fact your name, wouldn't you want to correct them? Honestly...
John Doe (to UserX): You must be Bob Dole.
Bob Dole: No, I'm Bob Dole.
You: Fuck off.
See how your response is completely inappropriate? Granted, that wasn't the *exact* syntax for this exchange, but there's no need to nitpick.
Do I need a cellphone that takes photos, does e-mail, records my voice and takes video? Nah... Would I rather carry one cell phone that does such things instead of cellphone, a digital camera (video and/or still), laptop and mp3 voice recorder (or tape recorder)? Hell right.
I know the quality of the camera/video isn't comparable to what I would get out of a "real" digicam, but hell, it will get better over time. They may be "useless gadgets" for some of us who don't use a camera or voice recorder on a daily basis, but there is *always* a market for the latest and greatest. Even if there isn't a market for a new toy like this when they conceive it, the clever folks in marketing will *create* a market for it before it's released.
If it has flashy lights, uses a battery, and can be used as a tool for productivity -or- a distraction from the real world, you'd better believe it will get made and it will sell.
Nah, it's all good. I live on the top floor of a tall building, surrounded by other reasonably tall buildings. Just goes to show that Chicago is so much better than wherever the hell you live. Seriously. Stop bragging about where I live, would ya?
Except for the fact that they can see the ENTRIE BEAM... Wouldn't make for a very effective weapon when your target sees 1-4 green beams converging on his/her foreheard from a distance... Once he/she starts moving around, good luck keeping it focused AND targeted.
But at least Slashdot posted it over 6 hours after PA did to save PA's precious bandw- er... nevermind. I don't think that/. mirroring this series did anything for PA except for more publicity.
Our 800+ users all have local admin rights on their machine. Why? We run some software that doesn't work otherwise. It's an AS400 client that needs admin rights to install updates to the client.
Now, in all fairness, there is a way around it (and we're exploring it). The problem is, that while revoking local admin rights for our users would save us lots of time and effort in combatting spyware, etc, we'll use that time manually updating the AS400 client software.
I think you're missing the point... If that many votes weren't counted, there is something very very wrong with the system. Who cares who had more votes in the first XX% of voters who showed up? Fix the problem, don't argue semantics.

You, my friend, are an idiot... There's a.torrent link in the story summary.
Aside from overpopulation (which is a major concern), don't forget:
- Wealth accumulation: What's to stop a 1,000 year old man or woman from accumulating un unheard of amount of money and therefore becoming one of the most powerful people ever?
- Social Security: I'm not going to pay a bunch of healthy and wealthy 200 year olds out of my taxes.
- Gene pool overcrowding: With so many people around, many of whom belong to the same gene pool, won't this cause potential issues with inbreeding? I mean, your 12th cousin could end up being really hot.
I never claimed that I was a grammar ace, but thanks for that.
In reading his post, I got the impression it was in a commercial environment. I know places like Best Buy and the like charge upwards of $20 for a "spyware cleaning" and all they do is install Ad-Aware and/or Spybot, run it a couple of times, install the google toolbar, and hand it back to the customer.
My aologies to you, kind sir, for not explaining my presumtions prior to my previous post. Got alliteration?

I'm sorry sir, but that wasn't me! I specifically said "Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ." I believe you're looking for the one-armed man over there.
See, I could see them getting cited for public disturbance (if it was interfering with the day-to-day business of the courthouse or something like that) and maybe getting a ticket... but SUED? Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ....
Agreed! Who knows, maybe it could get better. Maybe he'll fire all the HR people in the name of "Synergy." Here's hoping!!

I'm sorry - I forgot the sarcasm tags in that last post.

Ok, so that was supposed to have [sarcasm] and [/sarcasm] tags around it... woops.

You obviously don't know my Mom and Dad...
Oh my god... Thanks to you, I just had a flash-back of "the good old days" and terrorizing people on AOL with the app AOHell. Talk about old school...

Probably start charging for gMail and put other, more obtrusive ads (a la Yahoo!, MSN, etc...) all over their search results and other web apps...
