I'm sorry... was it Lincoln who fired on Fort Sumter, or rebel troops? Lincoln wasn't even in office yet, and the rebels were attacking Federal installations without even knowing or understanding what Lincoln's administration was going to do when it took office.
What is this, 1997? They had an FPU bug in the Pentium 60-90 MHz processors. I guess you still make jokes about exploding Pintos and wheelbarrows full of Weimar Deutchmarks, too.
I recently discovered that Windows is not Y2K compliant! Although I only checked Windows 3.1, I assume that newer versions of Windows, 2000, XP, and Vista, use similar 2-digit dates and may also be vulnerable.
Atlus fans know damn well that they're not dealing with automatic-trillion-sellers like Madden 200X: Same Shit, New Roster or World War 2 Shooter: The Shootening.
You should try Cookie Cutter RPG 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Secdrv.sys is included with Windows Vista, but Microsoft's newest operating system is safe from attack, said Quach. "Microsoft and Macrovision worked together during the development of Windows Vista RTM [release to manufacturing] to review the security of the Vista version of the driver," she said. " Thanks to this security review, this vulnerability is not present in Windows Vista." Microsoft went a step further and credited its Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) approach for beefing up the driver.
If they discovered security issues during the Vista development, why didn't they issue a driver update for XP and 2003? Why the wait?
Why bother searching any terms other than this? If their visa is expired, they should be deported immediately. It will be hard for them to perform their function when they're back in Iran. If we just secured our borders and kept track of people holding visas, it would be a lot harder for them to plan anything. Unfortunately, we have losers in our government who act like we should allow anyone to enter the country at any time in any manner, supposedly because citizens won't pick lettuce (or at least, not for and illegally low $4/hour). Until we stop allowing red herrings and straw men to be part of the debate, we will be unsafe.
With political parties all over Europe calling for a ban on standby
Please tell me that those people aren't that stupid. We used to have monitors without standby: they were non-energy efficient and stayed on at full power all the time! If these fools ban standby-- a technology they likely do not understand-- people will just go back to leaving their monitors on full-bore all the time, illuminating the office with images of flying toasters.
An idea I have is that the phone providers should offer a service that allows the called party to bill the caller for $100 by pressing a certain code during the call.
That would make it a lot easier for college students to borrow money from Dad.
Dad: Hey son, just checking in on you to make sure...
Student: *beep*
Dad: Why you little...!
On the other hand, now when I call one of my stupid vendors for support, they can auto-bill me for the privilege of waiting on hold.
Look, you want me to know about the "The Let's Go Crazy Baby" case then dammit, link to a Wikipedia article [wikipedia.org] about it. Hmmm... "No page with that title exists".
"Let's Go Crazy baby" was explained earlier in the article; you must have skimmed over it. A mother posted (on Youtube) a video of her baby pushing a toy around with Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" playing and Universal sent her a DMCA takedown notice.
Your NET cost may be zero, but there is a cost in your time. If you choose to value the return from that cost as equal, that's fine. But there is STILL A COST.
He said he was involved in creating the internet, which had already been created years before his "initiative". That's like Henry Ford claiming he invented the automobile, when it had been invented decades before although he improved the process of manufacturing them.
You don't know many people in law enforcement. They usually feel that the end always justifies the means. After all, if you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear, right?
It's a shame that one can mashup Simpsons episodes ("Canyonero") and Democratic party talking points on Slashdot, then be modded UP for it. Honestly, isn't this joke old to anyone over five years old by now?
There was no clear winner for the first statement that people disagreed with, but several people picked #3 and #4, arguing some version of "People under 18 have less developed judgment." (I still say that doesn't matter, because you're talking about comparing a person under 18 who smokes, with a person over 18 who smokes, and their judgment in both cases is the same, etc.)
No, it's not. The decision might be the same, but the process of arriving at that decision may not be. For example, both a 13-yea-old driver and a 30-year-old driver may decide that it is safe to pass a truck on the right. Both made the same poor decision, but to claim that 13-year-olds should be allowed to drive because adults may make the same poor decisions is ludicrous.
Seriously, do some research. In a home invasion you are more likely to harm yourself or be harmed by your gun than scare off an intruder.
Obviously, you didn't do any research. Hearsay is not research.
Our neighbour in her 70's kept a handgun (loaded!!!) in her bedside table. Do you seriously think she could protect herself from an invader using that gun?
Actually, yes. If she could raise it and hit a target less than ten feet in front of her, it would be far more useful than wielding a baseball bat with her feeble strength.

I tried this experiment once myself. Stupid monkeys threw out all the "W"s.

"But, uh, I really don't want my sex-year-old kid injesting *any* drugs, even ones that work great recreationally for young adults."
Freudian slip?

Unless it's a teen movie, in which case it starts with a slow clap.

My Steve Jobs building is fine! It's white and has only one door because that's all you need.
Clearly, as an evil overlord, it would behoove me to have this brilliant architect build my impenetrable lair!

I really hate when I forget my keycard and have to run the gauntlet. Thankfully, my company has a good health plan.
So Clinton didn't commit perjury? And he didn't fail miserably at catching bin Laden?
