"Yes, Compaq is first to our shores with a Pentium-based PC - the $8750 ex GST 5/60M. The '5' is to remind a few of us that this is actually a 586 even if Intel insists we all speak Latin."
It was previously discussed on/. that scamming the scammers was illegal and more likely to be prosecuted because our laws are more enforced than theirs...
While I find the parent post hilarious (please mod him underrated so he gets the karma he deserves), if one thinks being prosecuted with fraud is bad, what would one think of bein prosecuted for murder by proxy?
I think the grandparent poster was attempting a joke... since Subgenius Church member's greatest goal is to achieve / obtain "slack", whatever quality that is.
Even though I understand the joke, I don't find it particularly funny either.

I suggest the "recon" option... after all, taking photos of other people in public is perfectly legal.
if we were to send astronauts to the Moon again, they'd bring back hi-rez DV footage!
this one's a pisser:

yea really, the submitter should have included the IANACI disclaimer...

I just remembered the proper term for it... it was a "fistulated cow".
When I visited the Veterinarian Dept. of a local university, I was shown a cow with a window on its side.
Students could open the window at their convenience to check the insides of the cow.
Ugh.
Now I get to have my very own Kelly LeBrock!
Now all I need is a bra to wear on my head.
And good luck, Mr. Gorsky!
What I would have liked to hear about the iPod was how they came up for the idea of the scroll wheel.

my Own Personal Hypothesis(tm) is that they stole the idea from the Intellivision game controller.

Makes me wonder if Apple has any regrets over the Longhorn-themed ads... ;)
I have an uncle whose first name is Bruno. When he was younger, people called him names so he decided to go by his middle name, Marcel.
Now, everyone in the family calls him Marcel, while the rest of the world calls him Bruno.
But wait, it gets weirder.
His wife (my aunt) uses the first name Sophie, but everyone in her family calls her "Claudette".
Now thanks to this AskSlashdot thread, I feel compelled to ask them to see their IDs next time I meet them.
I'm even lazier than you: I just sign with an illegible scribble, which removes the need to abbreviate my name.
True, but I thought that 32-player was today's standard for multiplayer FPS gaming... At least you'd have the option of choosing big or small games.
is that multiplayer gaming is limited out-of-the-box to 4 players...
Sure, they say modders can increase that number, but it seriously reduces the number of potential online opponents.
I guess that makes me a Luddite?
No, unless you have the Irish musicians playing live next to you.
in that case you should switch to Paris Hilton... I read somewhere she wants to get into hiphop...
I know a few people who live in different parts of Kanata (cited as an example in the CBC link), and they all have broadband cable.
That guy and the 600 other broadbandless residents must be living at the very edge of the city limits or something.
They should've used a better example for places without broadband in Canada... like Iqaluit.
and who will complain if that means they will go to jail?
Them?

eBay... or freeipod.com? but remember: TANSTAAFL.
for the generation of iPods that will come with 100 teragigs, stop the war and cure cancer.
Enjoy the title while you have it, Sir Tim...
