So much for historians trying to figure out the years 2006 to 2012... How very non-altruistic of Microsoft. How very against the basic tenets of Information Systems.
Wikipedia is pretty much self-healing, based on how much people really give a shit about the entry.
If I edited the entry for Albert Einstein to say "Albert Einstein was a large orange chicken in the 3rd century that received many awards for playing the violin", it would get replaced with a real version very quickly, as everyone knows that statement was bullshit.
On the other hand, if I put an entry in that said "Klom Dark was a large orange chicken in the 3rd century that received many awards for playing the violin" it'd probably stay like that forever.
What are these 'woodpecker jokes' the article talks about? Can't say I've heard of one and googled and found nothing but stuff about housing development and woodpecker habitat stuff.
Um, how the fuck does Indiana get off saying they are part of the midWEST? Maybe the midEAST, but certainly not the Midwest. Look at a map sometime...
And, before you fry me, I grew up in Indiana (Fort Wayne), but have lived in Nebraska (Which is dead-center in the middle of the US (The 1733 Ranch just outside Kearney, Nebraska got it's name because it is 1733 miles to both Boston and San Francisco) and even Nebraska plays the stupid 'Where the West Begins' game, which is barely true.) so looking back at my home in Indiana, nearly a thousand miles East as being anywhere even close to 'west' is just amusing.
But on the other hand, Nebraska calls itself the 'flat lands', when in fact there are a lot more hills to go sledding on than there was in Indiana. (At least the Northern half of Indiana, or should we call Fort Wayne in the MidSOUTH of the state? [Look at a map, it's about as far South as Indiana is in the West]:) )
Well first, they got it from the browser cache, not subpeonaing Google, but that's still not any ethically better than if we had some theoretical device to extract your thoughts and memories. A computer is a tool for the mind, what's the difference, they are still stealing anothers dreams whether stored in mud or silicon.
Ya think this is still a free society?

Yes, but does the actual 'evolution' take place before conception? The mutation of the gametes definitely does, but...
It might be one of those annoying "Does a tree falling in a forest make a noise if there's nobody around the hear it?" type questions which puts us into some recursive loop about some theoretical differences between sound and vibration. (Or mutation and evolution in this case)
Oops, yep, you're right. I was thinking along the lines of someone 'evolving themselves'.
I think that a better way to explain what I had in mind that "evolution can only be passed on to offspring, never to the parent". Evolution in the parent is typically referred to as cancer.:(
Start a ballot initiative to buy you LCD monitors? Hell no. Until we have LCD monitors in 75% of the households of the ACTUAL public there's no way in hell you government fuckers should have them.
Why is it the government people think they deserve better than the real people they supposedly 'serve'? Like all those congress people making six digit incomes that get 100% health insurance coverage and paychecks FOR LIFE, when most of the people scratch by on four or five digits, and even their children do not have health coverage? This country has got a large 300 pound gold brick tied to its head, can't even move anymore, just crawling in the dust, gasping for air. Just like the Greek Empire, just like the Roman Empire. The wave has crested due to all the people who are only in it for the money and not in it to make a better world for everyone.
I woke up from a short NMAP and smelled this horrible Fyodor. Wow man, did someone bust open a stink bomb on the network?

Isn't it a bit angrifying(tm) that we're going to get a Halo movie before we get a Ringworld movie, as Halo is nothing but a small-scale ripoff of Ringworld?
Maybe it's a practice run for the production studio. Rendering Ringworld requires numbers of an order of magnitude that even 64 bit computers choke on. We might have to wait for the 128-bit revolution before it can be accomplished.
Yes, but here in Nebraska, instead of hurricanes, we get tornadoes!!!
Although everyone outside of the Grand Island area is snickering, cause although the media makes it look like the whole state had to be rebuilt after one of these things, they really do an insignificant amount of damage compared to a hurricane. Although what they do hit is nasty, it's a small area in comparison.
Have lived here for 25 years, and only seen two of the things, and they were out in the country and didn't do anything but tear up some trees and corn.
When people from California come to Nebraska, they are always really worried about tornadoes. On the other hand, when people from Nebraska go to California, they are always really worried about earthquakes.
You stupid fuck. Pull your head out of your comfortable middle class ass and realize that most of the people who did not leave were unable to leave.
To poor, too old, no transportation, no way out.
Oh wait, I read the rest of your comment now. You understand. Just threw me with your first sentence. I'm really pissed about the way the government is failing us. Wait till we start getting sick from the epidemic that's almost definitely going to start there in the next day or two. All that bacteria has been festering in the warm brown water there all week. All the bacteria from human feces has had well over 72 hours (The amount of incubation time needed for a few nasty bacteria to reproduce into an uncontrollable amount) to reproduce in perfect (for bacteria - warm, wet, and nutrition). People trudging through the filth down there are getting heavily infected right now, another 24 to 72 hours and they are going to be getting extremely sick, then with the evacuation, it's going to get spread all over the country. That's the big story they are hiding from us. I dread it.

Really? We could be close to seeing/hearing the end of that horrible "Doe Dwink Doe Doe" noise at the end of every computer commercial? Yay!!
In case you are wondering about the obscure 'H5N1' reference, it is the name assigned to the virus being used to perpetuate the 'bird flu' scam.

Fucking slashdot, ate my greater than and less than symbols thinking they were html tags. Lets try again:
Nah, just not a dumb teenager. I guess in the eyes of a dumb teenager that would mean very young (less than 13) or very old (greater than 19)

Clue me please!
Why do people hate my background so much? I put a lot of work into it and think it's pretty cool.

Evolution only takes place at the moment of conception.
