Sandra Lawson, McLurkin's mother, figured out she had a gifted child at age 2 when her boy stuck a french fry up each nostril during lunch and said, ''Look mom, I'm a walrus.''
That's weird. When I see a kid with something stuck up his nose, 'gifted' isn't exactly the word that comes to mind. It's more like 'doofus'. The only sign of genius would be that he didn't eat the fries afterward.
And I bet you wanted to be a rock star when you were a kid.
Rock Star? I always dreamed of working for the RIAA. I started young, charging my first royalty at the age of six. One day I hope to have a global surcharge named after me. That would be the ultimate bragging right.
The FCX is the first car for the U.S. market that is powered purely by fuel cells. It meets zero-emissions standards by exhaling water vapor--no noxious fumes and no greenhouse gases.
As far as I know, water vapor is a greenhouse gas. Others are Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Nitrous Oxide. This was told to me by an Earth and Atmospheric Science professor in university, so the source is reputable.
First off, IANAPBIGTO (I Am Not A Psychologist, But I Go To One:P ) It seems like human nature will often prey on the weak. Look at performers. If you don't control the stage, the audience will walk all over you.
I think a lot of the people that have been picked on are victimized because the Pickers (nice name for them) sense some sort of weakness. It could be that the Pickees are a bit too compassionate or nice, or it could be due to some physical defect, if they are underweight, have a different voice, etc. Whatever it is, the jerks pick up on it pretty quick. If the person doesn't defend themselves in a way that the Pickers see strength, the torture continues. Honestly, I really see that a lot. It seems to be human nature, and a lot of humans suck for this very reason.
I wonder if Taco Bell will sponsor this. If a killer Asteroid hits a special target (like the franchise on my street), they could give everybody on Earth free diarrhea.
"Well, I've been using a Macintosh Plus for about 17 years now, and I decided it was high time I got an upgrade. One meg of RAM can only take you so far..."
Just out of curiosity, but if we send people to Mars, how in the hell are they supposed to get back? I mean, are they going to set up a launch pad themselves, or will they send a space limo over to pick them up? Is the atmosphere of Mars similar to Earth's?
It seems to me that script kiddies were a large portion of the people that hacked web sites and left huge "Free Kevin! 1 4m 4 13370 bur1770! pr0p5 70 71mmy 4nd my m0m!" messages as proof of their accomplishment. I think that's what the original poster was suggesting. Script kiddies made up a lot of the 'fan' base.

Those pictures are great. I've always wanted to see a yard with freezer burn. Seriously, that's what it looks like. =)
Of course, Linus works for a chip maker
And if trends continue, it could be Old Dutch.

Huh? Modded Troll? Wha? How is that a troll? I was just saying that water vapor is a greenhouse gas, which is a common misconception.

Thank god I'm using Telnet!

I am sure Slashdot readers have some input on this, and I am curious if people believe _any_ movie has acurately portrayed software developers?
Two words: Booty Call.
It is hoped that the project will lead to the preservation of data that is constantly changing on the Internet.

I'm not afraid of flying, that part's fine. I'm afraid of landing.

Well, if anything, you know it's going to be better than "A Tail in the Dessert". That game just grossed me out.
If the FBI won't take it further, you could always beat seven shades of shit out of him, then when the police arrest you, assume his identity.
Nah, they should have a ratio: eat one can of Spam per e-mail sent. They'll send AT MOST 1/2 an e-mail before they keel over in the toilet.
What about the strong gravitational pull of Mars? It's gotta be quite a bit more than the moon... That's the main reason why I was asking.
Just out of curiosity, but if we send people to Mars, how in the hell are they supposed to get back? I mean, are they going to set up a launch pad themselves, or will they send a space limo over to pick them up? Is the atmosphere of Mars similar to Earth's?
In other news, American computer geeks appeal to make the penny worth 10 cents.
I'm thinking about starting up a Hydrogen Peroxide business. Forget the moon, I just need a date.
Manager: Jim! How come Sims Online hasn't met the expected sales?
Jim: Well, sir, there has been a decline in the number of AOL users. Must be the recession... or something...
Manager: Well Jim you do your part, I'll take the price of the game out of your pay check.
Jim: Yes, sir. *shudders*

Jim: Yes, hello, I would like a subscription for your 8.0 service...

What? You guys are still using water? I found The Ultimate Cooling Device: Hilary Rosen (aptly named The Ice Princess).
Patent for Excretion of urea in solution via a hose type device.
That sounds like the ultimate bathroom key, only instead of a hunk of metal, there are a few lawyers attached to it. =)
