Behind locked doors at Panasonic's Osaka and Kobe facilities poor ToughBooks are thrashed to within an inch of their lives.... I saw a very sorry looking CF-29 strapped to a rack, being poked with metal spikes.
Following your offer to "upload picture of make sex with goat", please find attached a copy of hello.jpg. I trust this clarifies our position in this matter.
Furthermore, I must caution you to stop sending these letters. We have fifty boxes in our office each claiming to contain one hundred autographed photos of Steve Jobs. We haven't the balls to open these things, but we're more than willing to pay for international postage.
And, by the way, I think you've got the wrong guy. I'm Mr. Gate from West Virginia and I run a detox center for stressed-out iPods.
I wonder if tarring and featherings are allowed in the florida legal system...
As I understand it, your U.S. consitution forbids the use of "cruel and unusual" punishments (emphasis mine). I believe tarring and feathering to be either cruel or unusual, but probably not both.
The differences are, indeed, subtle, but after the fourth repeat on ITV4 you can start to discern them.
I've recently arrived at the conclusion that the occupants of Moonbase Alpha were, in fact, the useless crap from Earth that nobody wanted to deal with. They were "tricked" into taking postings on the moon where someone deliberately set them up the bomb. Let's recall who we're dealing with here:
Commander John Koenig, a fucking awful leader who, when he's not making poor decisions and failing to learn from last week's episode, spends most of his time in his office staring into empty space and checking his chin for whether he needs a shave. Consistently out of his depth, and bloody well knows it too. Never speaks above a whisper.
Doctor Helena Russell, the stupidest MD in sci-fi history, who'd probably pass out at the sight of an open wound. Suffers from "Nurse Chapel Syndrome", a disease that renders any camera fixed on her unable to focus properly. Never speaks above a whisper. Except when screaming.
Professor Victor Bergman, another chin-stroker who never learns. Called in to analyse some bizarre situation, first implies he hasn't a bleeding clue, later pulls a new-age explanation out of his arse, calmly states that they all might die and they never fucking do, and then goes down the pub. A true English gentleman. Never speaks above a whisper. Except when... no, never.
The only good things about Space 1999 are the sets and special effects (I don't care what anyone says, Supermarionation was bitching) and the theme music (only ever out-funked by that of U.F.O., another Gerry Anderson great).
Hey, somebody call Babs Bain and Martin Landau! We've got an endless supply of Eagles, crap scripts and disaffected space-hippies out there for you to go find. Just make sure you can remember the only two facial expressions you ever had to pull: "shocked" and "confused".
The British psyche has long had a soft-spot for all things Aardman and their distinct style of claymation, coupled with quintessentially UKian humour. Check out this example and the many others from those unflappable blobs.
Windows Vista is "dramatically more secure than any other operating system released", [said] Bill Gates.
Meanwhile, in other news, several open-source developers in Calgary, Alberta were admitted to hospital for treatment of coffee burns and choking injuries caused on by an acute attack of the giggles.
In one Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, Data states that television, as the form of popular entertainment as we know it, did not last much beyond 2040... could this turn out to be remarkably accurate?
Perhaps their motives are not so pure and they now see their chance at big bucks from the big, rich nasty corporation?
No, I don't think that's the case. However, I'm more than a little apprehensive about an academic package that's not open source or Free Software, and whose license prohibits disassembly.

Oh, fuck yes.
"Hello! It looks like you're writing an article. Would you like me to:
"By Lamport's Beard! What are you doing here?!"
"Well, Microsoft chucked me out."
"How the hell did..."
"It's this Emacs thing — got a darn powerful LISP engine, you know. It's very roomy in here."
"Oh, sorry, it's not that big. He's been evicted. Now, about that article—"
"Look... just... bugger off!" [Click!]
"Hello! It looks like you're writing an document. Would you like me to:
"Sod off and die."
"Oh."
"Yes, 'Oh'! Now get out of Emacs before I drag Donald E. Knuth himself over here."
"No need to get nasty. Hmmph."
A few hours later:"Hello! It looks like you're trying to evaluate an integral. Would you like me to:
- Add limits?
- Draw a graph?
- Do a trick?
Oh, and by the way, it's very roomy in here!"See: Dune.
You can quite easily manage the ACLs in XP Home using cacls.exe on the command line.
From TFA:
Every dominatrix should have one.
All those MP3 files didn't type their contents into those Russian redistribution sites by themselves, you know.
...of an EPOC?

IANAL.
"Offtopic"?! It's like that Robot Chicken sketch: Dicks — with mod points!

Oi! You leave Neil and Christine alone, thank-you very very much!
Saucy bugger.

No, no, upgrading to Vista is not masturbation!
Wow. That dude really needs to get a life. And that's coming from a Slashdotter.
Who mentioned anything about Linux?
From the BBC:
Meanwhile, in other news, several open-source developers in Calgary, Alberta were admitted to hospital for treatment of coffee burns and choking injuries caused on by an acute attack of the giggles.
An x86[-64] machine running any operating system by Microsoft is a PC.
An x86[-64] machine running any operating system by someone other than Microsoft or Apple is a workstation.
Quite, which is why things like PDFCreator exist.
Yes, I think Lawrence M. Kraus pointed out in The Physics of Star Trek that said device would most probably end up being used for sex 24/7.
And then there is the third party:

Those bastards!

Yeah, I didn't realise just how many Saturnian members of the Angel race hung out around here.
No, I don't think that's the case. However, I'm more than a little apprehensive about an academic package that's not open source or Free Software, and whose license prohibits disassembly.
