    As an escaped convict, I take offense to your generalizations that escaped convicts like to ass rape people.

  2. Re:Embedded Linux does ipv6 too on Linux Foundation Says All Major Distros Are IPv6 Compliant · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes, your toaster does need its own IP as part of its TRM (toast rights management). "Smart" toasters are subsidized by bread manufacturers, and as such require you (the user) to only install certified bread into the device. TRM was designed so the bread manufacturers can be assured that their (subsidized) product (the smart toaster) is being used in the legal manner.

    Note that GNU/Bread will not operate in TRM enabled toasters as this reduces the proffitability (sp?) of smart toasters.

  8. Re:The Nigerian scam is no more of a scam than... on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are quite a few people who get big payouts from the scammers. See http://www.419eater.com/

    But, my point was that the scammers and the casinos bait and hook their victims with promises of big payouts to keep you giving them money. The majority of people will see the gamble and not take the risk. Others like the one in the article, or the man in this article: http://www.onlinecasinoadvisory.com/casino-news/land/casino-loses-collection-case-1939.htm take the bait and keep pumping the money in.

    From the linked article: "In March 2000 he began a bad run at blackjack during which he lost over $3.5 million in one night."

    Just because casinos show you the rules beforehand, they will drain you as fast (if not faster) than the scammers could.

  9. The Nigerian scam is no more of a scam than... on Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer · · Score: 0, Troll

    the casinos are.

    FTA: "They are so desperate to recoup their losses with the big payout, they descend into a vicious cycle of sending money in hopes the false promises will turn out to be real."

    From the casinos: "They (the gamblers) are so desperate to recoup their losses with the big payout, they decend into a vicious cycle of *betting* money in hopes the false promises (of actually winning) will turn out to be real."

    The only difference between the Nigerian scam and the casino scam, is the government IS involved in the casino scam and gets to share your money.

  11. How to beat the daylight savings "jetlag" on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 2, Informative

    Do you hate getting out of bed 1 hour earlier at the start of daylight savings. Try this:

    1 week before daylight savings starts, set your alarm 10 minutes earlier each day. That is it.

    Your body adjusts a lot better to the 10 minute differences than it does to one 1 hour difference.

    That is all.

    Also, who said that all the instruments were played at the same time.

    Hating to reply to myself but...

    What is the role of homotopy theory in the classical, geometric, and quantum Langlands programs?

    The role of homotopy theory in the classical, geometric and quantum Langlands programs is to teach fashion sense to the locals of the Langlands. Ensure their hair is styled in a manner that is both masculine and sensitive. Supply shirts with overly large collars, splashed with bright colours. Fragrant and condition the Langlanders skin to be soft to the touch. Therefore, the role of homotopy theory is to give the Langlanders a Queer eye for the straight guy makeover.
