hmm... 60 frames per second, 22 pages per minute, 500 sheets per ream, 144 pounds per square inch...*calculates* Yep. That would be the most annoying thing known to man.
I'm tolerant of people overestimating the Law of Accelerating Returns to say that we'll be in flying cars and talking to our quantum computers real soon now, but HURD working in 2005?!?
excellent argument...however, I think you could strengthen your position rhetorically if you spiced up your writing with "wtf" and "lol", as well as closing with "kthxbye!"
I had the same idea when I read about how "for the first time braille would be featured on a US quarter".

nah the one where this fat kid makes a home movie of himself twirling some long metal rod around in the most ungraceful (actual word or not? oh well) darth maul routine ever, and then someone on the internet got a hold of it and final cut pro'ed it up to make it a double-sided lightsaber with the sound effects and everything.
i think it may still be on the front page of metafilter; if not, google for "star wars kid" and look for a page with.wmv links

Hey buddy, you name me another computer science school that lets you keep your toolbox when you're done!
Thought so.
Outlook does not look good.
as soon as he can measure a kilogram of it.
Like a prayer? :P
If Steve Perry is in this game, I'm sold - he's a killer app for any platform.

Not anymore - the last time they tried that everyone got A+'s and six degrees apiece with full tuition reimbursements.
World Hunger -> Food
War -> Peace
Cancer -> don't touch anything or breathe
People who dress in Star Trek uniforms on Casual Friday -> a gift certificate to Score's
I wrote them down one night after having a sinkful of my own homebrew - hope that sorts you out...
You really should be getting compensation from your employer as well...
Competitor #2: Go Circular Saw!

Or at least just the plug-ins.

That is the worst euphemism for TeX I have ever heard. You'd better hope Knuth doesn't read slashdot - he's liable to tear you a new big-O for that.
For the love of God, close the Jar-Jar tag!!! We dont want him getting out!

if it sweats, we can kill it.
Dammit! I was all set to make some joke asking why you dress up in a French Maid outfit when you kiss your wife - dangle your participles next time!
I think I could watch the one where the fat kid does his darth maul routine for about 12 hours before it got annoying.

Italian:
Just add "a" to the end of all words. (e.g. "This-a is-a how-a it-a looks-a!")
English:
Remove all 'h's.
Scottish:
Remove all coherence.
Australian:
Apparently, Australia is an advanced civilization where they have efficiently replaced every noun with the word "Foster's."
American:
Pepper your writing liberally with the word "like".
They are taking a much longer, more roundabout route to avoid using the Dallas to LA freeway.
