I live next to a coffee-roasting facility. Ah, the sweet smeel of the stuff that they burn off the coffee before they give it to us. We all hate it, but I'm only here when it happens once a month or so, as it's usually during the day and so I avoid the smell. At least they have timed it so most people would be at work when it happens.
Top-secret whitehouse to area Oregon-C14 irc link log:
[dubya]: your cs server was sooo laggy that last game
[agentX]: well it must be those AC geeks from slashdot pulling on our fibers again.
[dubya]: well, I'll pass a law about that imediately. Nobody interrupts my fraggin'
[agentX]: okay, new game
[dubya]: yay, fraggin [dubya] has quit("There must be limits to freedom" G.W.Bush,1999)
btw people, for politically incorrect cartoons, check Elftor.
Apparently you did not read the article either. It is clearly mentioned that a situation equivalent to this (evolution in completely isolated biosystem) was found under a dumpsite in Romania, when an artificial tunnel happened to link with it. It is completely seperate from lake Vostok, only in the same article
I read the article, and it flashed back a memory from a book I read long ago.
Am I the only one that sees the link between that bbc article and Lovecraft's Mountains of Madness?
Giant cavity beneath ice in the middle of antarctica, surrounded by mountain ranges, and previously unknown lifeforms, millions of years old, evolved separately from the life on the rest of the planet. How long until we meet the Elders?
I recommend the book to everyone, really good one.
Server packetlogs?
There wasn't much traffic back then, so it was easy to log all packets that arrived over the CPIP* connection by hand and store them in journals
*CPIP = Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol
Anyone else see something funny about this?
Master Glitch, there's a glitch in this here electric valve. It has been glowing funnily since I dropped my pickle sandwich in there
(and so was discovered the light emitting diode)
thank you. Just wondering as there didn't seem to be any reference.
Really expensive though, disturbingly much.
I was seriously considering it, I guess I'll be taking a huge loan
Kinda scary, it's like taking slashdot moderators into real life. And everyone will carry a karma rating. However, who decides how moderator points are to be distributed? Can some asshole ruin my life just because they don't like me, therefore giving me a very low karma rating.
I didn't know it had anything to do with bluetooth. In fact, bluetooth conflicts with other 802.11 technologies (WiFi) as they occupy the same frequency ranges
yes, I remeber references to this about famous people dying during fellation, when the woman realises that "he was stiff for the wrong reasons"
Stand-up comedian reference, I've actually heard this
or at least a person with blood-drinking experience, I can say that yes I can materbate and live a normal life, but it's not as much fun as biting other people.
I don't think it would make anyone happy if you killed yourself. We are only dissing you because you have your facts wrong. This guy will not get a PhD for this, he just happens to be a candidate and to like doing calculus in his free time. Besides just because the tuition is obscenely high does not mean you don't have to work to get a degree. Look at MIT. that's $40000. Just ask any MIT graduate if they had to work to get their degree. Btw, people who know, is that $40000 total or per year? Doesn't seem to be a refernce anywhere and I'm in Finland so I can't just call and ask.
randomly, at parties. No centralized place I know of, there are certain clubs that concentrate on this, but none that I know of. I'm not really that interested. I just happen to enjoy trying different things.
The fact that they can't call billions of people monthly for a flat rate... Email advertising works just because it's so cheap. So if one bonehead answers and buys a product out of every 10000, there's still profit. With phonecalls you would have to have one in 10 or so calls to make a profit.
and who can forget "friday" by heinlein. Seriously, that guy sure was compensating. Same thing in "time enough for love" - a guy goes back in time and fucks his own mom...great

There's a difference between an asshole and a criminal, though.
Yes, a criminal is someone who shares music, or watches DVDs on a non-microsoft system
...is to be used to scan the net for trademark infringements. Sad, so sad.

he could have written the letter years after filing the patent. It doesn't say when the patent was granted, only when he wrote about it

About the dump truck... this so reminds me of a certain picture: Second place in asm2k2 raytrace compo
