Lately, I've become more pro-nuclear. And that's the sort of thing where, despite the fact that it's been incredibly safe so far, you still want it out where people are more sparsely populated, just in case.

A joke, of course, but the thought of having UO sweatshops where kids can play UO as long as they give the owner a share of the loot, is not far.:-)
There was an article in Wired a few issues back about a guy in California hired illegal immigrants to play ever quest all day. At the end of the week he emptied their accounts all the EQ money they had made and sold it on ebay.
I never saw a better example of how the people who own things (in this case the computers) can completely steal the work of the prols.
Mr Dibbell would have no doubt that a crime had been committed but he realises that he might have a hard time convincing the police to investigate the theft of goods that have a tangible value but negligible reality.
One of the things I love about popfile is it is not a Spam filter. It is a general mail filter. I have about ten categories of mail that it sorts out for me. This also helps cut out false positives. 'Work', 'Personal', 'Friends' and all much more similar to eacth other than 'Spam'.

The software ... can keep track of every card played, amounts bet, and even tell the difference between your drink, napkin, cards, chips, and ashtrays
Well if its supposed to be counting cards, I would hope it could tell the difference between a jack of spades and a jack of daniels.
The good old shit and piss factory that is the human body.
What's your username on Kazaa?
keeps the wheels cranking behind the scenes
Was that supposed to be...
'keeps the whips cracking'
or
'keeps the gears cranking'
or
'keeps the wheels greased'?
Mixed metaphors hurt my head.
Since when do books have trailers?

I bet Raven can't wait to buy his.
And I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords!
No, for real. They will be running the world soon enough.

Are you going to share that info or what?
Throw it up on freenet man!
At Sandia National Laboratories, new "smart" machines can accurately infer your intents and help you to take better decisions or avoid mistakes.
Me: Dude, I'm so trashed. Is that girl hot?
My Smart MachineNegative. Your beer goggles have wrongly given her a +5 hot. The correct answer is -1 fat.
I hope it's as hot looking as that chick who was the fifth element.
I know this is offtopic but, this is the most beautiful periodic table.
I am sick of the NYC bias we see in the media
It's the biggest city in the US. It better show up on the news.

Sparsely populated areas count less huh?
Just another typical, whining loser with no purpose.
Ben Affleck?
Will Nutch ever be as good as other search engines?
...

How can I stop Nutch from crawling my site?
When will Nutch search images, pdf files, etc.?
Now if they discovered a cure for being -about- to die five minutes after they tie the tage on your toe, now that would be ironic. ;)
No, it would be ironic if he was the one to find the cure. What you describe is just very sad.
Is that @ really necessary? You save almost no space, and still have to press two keys.

It's the American reality :(

Why hamper a technical discussion about bomb efficiency with irrelevant issues and issues of morality?
Because the only thing a bomb does is kill.
I am simply stunned at the quality of your education. Do you even know who Eisenhower was? Here's a hint: before he was a President, he was a General.
That makes the quote even more powerful.
