I don't like the idea of my car crashing twice a day and having to turn it off by pressing the start button....
Plus I just know that every time I arrive at a stoplight an animated steering wheel that looks suspiciously like a paper clip will jump onto my windshield and go "It looks like you want to make a left turn, how can the car assistant help you?" regardless of what turn I really want to make, if any.....
No it wasnt. After the roswell crash they had to use the space where they were building the fake moon landing set to store the alien bodies, thereby making them really having to land on the moon.
Incidently I heard google was planning on purchasing area 51 and will be using the technology to enhance it's search engine.
Divide the day into 100 hours (each about 14 minutes long), each of those divide into 100 minutes (each about 8.5 seconds long) and those divide into 100 seconds.
the time can then be read as ##:##:## going from 00:00:00 to 99:99:99 (though people will probaly use 10 seconds as a base for counting)
For daylight savings time/ leap seconds / leap hours have an option after the clock is set back that shows how many times that time has been reached(87:69:54::0 87:69:54::1) showing that the clock was set back, making it easier for computer equipment to deal with the concept of leap seconds/hours and adjust to time zone changes (this would probably only be of interest to electronics that keep time, not people)
I dont see why they dont just divide the island between border points 122 and 123. (currently according to a 1973 agreement there is no border between these two points) I think some countries need to learn to share.....
The sci-fi channel has picked up firefly, but only the old episodes already made. It would do new episodes except that the movie contract with universal prevents it.
I should go innovate somthing that would allow the slashdot news to reach us, while were innovating. (some kind of wireless feed to glasses/contacts that displays the latest stories and is voice-controlled) With that innovation, slashdotters would again be free to innovate and we'd get back to normal. Now if only I had the time to do that, but alas, I have to keep up with the latest slashdot news instead.
Possibilities:
The fish ATE a bear.
Overfishing caused the growth (build a better mousetrap, nature makes a better mouse. Build a better fishing net.....)
Fish are having obisity problems too.
Actually they matched the record of who had logged into the online class materials during the same class time from that machine. (the computers didnt require a login, but the online class materials did)
When someone in my class tried to steal the instructors password to a networking class that used online materials. (Sent a message to the company that provided them forging the e-mail header to look like it was from the teacher, saying "I forgot my password, please send it to address@aol.com")
The next class instead of going to the computer lab we were sent to a classroom instead. Once we were all there, the district network administrator came in, and started giving a lecture on how to track down where an attempted intrusion is coming from, Using a real life case study. It was quite an interesting presentation actually, exept for one student who was watching in HORROR (with a complete look of shock on his face) as they described in great detail exactly how they tracked him down and learned exactly who did it. He was visibly shaking at the end of the lecture. (Before the lecture he had absalutely no idea that anyone else knew about the password theft attempt) Besides that he got a few days of in school suspension, but that was it.
From the FAQ: What if a student already has another model or brand of laptop computer?
Students will be required to use the school district issued laptop for school purposes. This is necessary to ensure that students have a computer that gives them network capability and the ability to run the software that students will need in their classes. For these reasons, other computers will not be used on the Kutztown Area School District network.
And if you don't like it, well, you don't have to use a school computer.
Yes they do.

It wouldnt have mean reelection. It could be set up so that each justice has a 14 year term, and once they have served, they can never do it again. (A new justice would be chosen every 2 years, and in the case of a justice not being able to serve a full term, another will be selected to serve out only the remainer of that term. (or serving a 15 year term if there was less than a year left)
I write down my passwords, but I do it in an encrypted form. Using a pattern I know, I will write down the password in a scambled form, and insert other letters as well. Anyone looking at the written password would only be able to narrow down the password to about 60 trillion possible combinations. With me however knowing the pattern to look for, and im be able to enter it easily.
Except that no lifespan has been defined for Jar jar's species They could live 30 years, or they could live 3000 years, though I think most fans would be in support of a short lifespan.
I typed in "Mcdonalds" and it crashed. (seriously. It was starting the video for the motion for the headshake, but got stuck on the first frame) I refreshed the site and tried it again, but the chicken just shook his head then.
We should use this as a reason to send a human to mars. The primamry mission will be to get oppritunity out of the dune, using a mars tow buggy. Then if theres time, they'll play some martian golf. The'll need to watch out for those sand traps though.

Thats why you let an enemy use a bouncepad just before the salute......

Hey, I used that "bittorrent thing" to download open office. Does that mean i'm stealing it?
Not if they sell them at full price from the start, then there only losing about $20 more per unit. (the price of the DVD drive)
I dont see why they dont just divide the island between border points 122 and 123. (currently according to a 1973 agreement there is no border between these two points) I think some countries need to learn to share.....

And the new google toolbar has won two. I'm using it know.
One of the features on the Google toolbar for FireFox is a spellchecker. I know of a lot of slashdotters that could really use that (including me)
Now criminals will embed readers in their palms and go around randomly shaking hands with people to steal their data.....
11:59 => 12:00 is next day 12:59 => 1:00 No change in day. Its either early morning or early afternoon depending if its AM or PM.
12:59 => 1:00
