hey, I do have to shave (mostly because if my beard becomes too long it starts to be annoying)
To those who are still to young to shave:
Be happy, be very happy. Shaving is annoying and a waste of time. It's not cool. It's just plain annoying and boring after the second time.
So enjoy while it lasts, 'cus when it starts, you're stuck with it for the rest of your life.
Duke 4ever on quatum computers? That isn't funny. To be funny something has to have at least a bit of realisme in it. Thinking that Duke4ever will be released before QC are obsolete is just ridiculous.
Ah, political correctness. The art of preventing that what you say might offend someone, by making sure no one can understand what you're talking about.
Is anyone else worried that some future, deep theoretical physical measurement will, thanks to some poorly understood quantum something-or-other, cause the entire earth to explode?
I'm more worried about paranoid dumb people dragging the world in another dark age because they fear what they don't understand.
If you're worried about quantum fysics, go and read some books on the subject.

I'm just afraid that once you start using laws to strengthen weak protocols, then you've already set a precedent of using laws to support weakened ideas.
Like alarms and cameras are mostly a technological solution for a social problem, these new laws are a social solution for a technological problem.
I doubt it's possible to use laws to fight spam (World peace would be more easy to accomplish), however a better e-mail protocol would be able to reduce spam to a minimum, just see how (relatively) easy the other popular internet protocols got universal around the world.
I only hope that such a new protocol is implented by a non-profit organisation and freely available to everybody.
You forgot about the particular awful day in February? You know, the day we all get our noses rubbed in the fact we're still single?
Man, if I don't have a GF by next years S.A.D. Cupido is going to find a horses head in his bed.
As Mr. Garrison of South Park says, "There are no stupid people. Only stupid questions."
Wrong! Mr Garrison said: "there are no stupid questions, just stupid people". You failed your/. Southpark test. I'm affraid you'll have to spend more time studying Southpark, else you're no going to get your BS in Slashdotology.
Publishing it might not be illegal, but if someone uses your info to build a bomb and use it. You'll end up with a nice front row seat in the court room next to said person.
Bats? No, what they need is to breed pigeons. Lots of them. Let the enemy design a plane that can stand hundreds of pigeons being sucked into its air intake. Afterwards there will be barbequed pigeons for all (the kerosine really adds to the flavor of the pigeon).
On the other hand this might lead to another cold war in which both sides compete with each other to breed the most and the biggest pigeons. And perhaps some nation might even try to breed eagles to eat those pigeons before they reach the airplanes.
1)Fill Mercedeses with all sorts of toxic and radioactive garbage (stuff that's expensive to get rid off)
2)Have them stolen by Russian criminals and shiped to Moskou.
3)Get paid by the heavy industry for disposing of their dangerouse waste.
4) sell trips to Russia to see the mysteriouse mutants in Mercedeses.
5)sell miracle cures to the mutants in Russia.
6)Blame MS, SCO and Canada for the Russian mutant problem. Demand money to fix the situation.
7)Send more miracle cures to Russia.
8)Buy bigger warehouse to store money.
I hate to point this out but,

We could let the rest of the world fall into the dark ages, then take over.
After the techies left, the signs of decay appeared everywhere throughout the world. Every clock displayed the blinking 12:00 of doom. Frighted people went looting when their desperate search for the outlook-icon showed fruitless. Millions of messages never reached their destination as countless people failed to access their voicemail. Finaly famine striked the dark cities after so many were unable to plug their microwaves in. Chaos, darkness and fear were everywhere and soon Man was only but a vanishing memory in minds of the few surviving animals.
But after the dust had settled, the techies of the world resurfaced and a new nation was born. A nation without the fear of crashs, without spam or wild procecutions. Even the evil RIAA which terrorised the lands was no longer to be feared. And from that day on not a single clock had ever been stuck on blinking 12:00 again.
Maybe its not a threat economically, but your still enjoying the fruits of the musician's labor without paying for it.
Yeah, isn't that great! We've already made it possible to rip off the music and software industry on grand scale. We expect to add ripping off service for other groups in the near future. Our goal is to have all criminals working from home before 2020. The streets will be save again! So support your local MP3 / software pirate! For a save future!
Great! They found some old scrap metal in a dry lake and it's already news. Now if they had found Atlantis, Nessie or Bigfoot in there, it would be worth the bits. But old scrap metal?
Slow news day al over again.
My next question as a newbie would be: so how do I become a spammer? Where do I apply & when can I start?
Spamm school at sea:
You want to be a spammer? Here take this heavy chain with steel ball and lock it securely around your neck. Now if you would take a few steps back please....
You can the webcast it so the spammer can watch;-)
Better yet: let the spammer look from inside the car. Who wouldn't want to see the face of the spammer when he sees his ex-car being reduced to a pile of metal.
Perhaps we'll let him out before crushing the car into a cube. Perhaps not...
but in the real world a better food supply makes most people have less kids, by enough to not only compensate, but over compenstate.
In the real 3th world birth control is very expensive. The reason why parents have so many children is not because of overcompensation but of the lack of birth control.
As the artical shows, the grains introduced in the 1960s to parts of Africa have already worked to greatly slow the population growth over there.
All the article states is that they have brought the population grow to 80% of being stable. It doesn't say anything about why this is.
Humans are subject to the laws of nature just like any other animal (We're not above nature, just monkeys who fell out of their trees). Without the means we have in the 1st world, people have little choice about how many children they'll have (excluding celibacy). So more food means more surviving children and therefor the population grows until it reaches a new balance between population size and available food. Without birth control you won't eradicate hunger.
But that's just my opinion on this matter. And I'm not a, well, whoever studies this matter.
Can we do something useful like helping the homeless or feeding the hungry instead of complaining about someone's fucking advertising?
Each time I notice hunger, I do whatever I can to solve it. Like yesterday afternoon when I got hungry I went trough all the trouble of buying, cooking and eating some food.
I know, the world would be a better place if everybody worked this hard to fight hunger.

But every asian person knows karate (or did TV lied to me again?), so perverts will add a kombat element to the game.
Pervert flashes HotChick for 2p.
HotChick kicks Pervert in nuts for 25p.
Pervert wishes he was death.
HotChick gains 12p of experience.
Man, if I don't have a GF by next years S.A.D. Cupido is going to find a horses head in his bed.
Neither. South Asian killer pigeons. With a huge beak, razor sharp claws and unbelievable accuracy with which they drop their, euh, "product".

You're right, we need more pretty girls in bikinis to promote OSS.
