Keep in mind that the Tibetan empire used to be bigger than China, and stretched to the indian ocean where bangladesh is now, around AD800.
Well, then it's obvious that since Tibet was once part of China, and all these other huge... tracts of land (*gestures widely*) were once part of Tibet, China should just push its borders all the way to the Indian Ocean.
To be fair, it was the editor (timothy) who said he got hooked into watching the other videos. Still, remember the days when you had to wait for someone else to find your stuff and post it? Then you got to show up in the comments halfway down and say something like "Oh haha, wondered what was hitting our server so hard!"
These days half the submissions seem to be "I just wrote an amazingly content-less blog post about Microsoft, check it out and give me ad revenue".
I'm talking about somebody who has drank deeply of the Kool Aid and refuses utterly to acknowledge that anything less than amazing could ever come out of the Holy Land, a.k.a. Redmond. I worked with this guy. Whenever Visual Studio crashed, whenever Vista hung (yes, I had to use VS under Vista), it was definitely NOT the fault of the software. He just *lived* for all MS publications and would tell me about XYZ great features that are coming to Windows "Real Soon Now", then not believe me when I would tell him about the similar tool that had existed in [Unix, Plan 9, VMS, TOPS-20] for years.
Actually, except for the biblical references it seemed pretty much like your standard basement-dweller's +4 Insightful rant. I think if he got a user account, dropped the religious stuff, and started bashing on the President more directly, he'd have the makings of a top Slashdot political commentator.
There are some people who love Microsoft products, use Visual Studio to develop C# code, run Vista and swear up and down that they've never had any problems with it, and have purchased a Zune. I've known one such person. Besides him, I've never seen anyone with a Zune.
When we record ourselves, we're exercising our freedom of "speech" (in a fashion) and choosing to share it with others. A few people have camera rigs that record their entire day, but I don't know of any who share the entire day. You get to select what is shared, and if you happen to show up in the background of somebody else's recording, that's just something you live with because nobody will care. It's a little different when centralized organizations are recording everything everywhere throughout an entire city; would you like somebody being able to tell you "We went back and looked, and it appears that you left home at 8:12 a.m. on January 17 2007, walked to the bakery, bought a bagel with cream cheese, and then went to Ms. Smith's house for the next 4 hours--does your wife know, by the way?--before returning home, stopping by Gamestop on the way to pick up a copy of Quake 4"?
Did you know that in the US, because it's legal for people to walk around with guns...
Not for much longer, if various legislative asshats and the loudmouthed morons who push them have anything to say about it. If you want to carry a gun, better move to Montana or some other state that still has a clue. Washington, my home state, is pretty good too but Seattle is a really bad influence on freedom to carry.
If we stick everyone in big life-support tanks and simply make them live in a computer simulation of the real world, with proper programming safeguards against anyone dying in the simulation, we can protect EVERYONE!
These 'safeguards' against simulated death could be modeled after Secret Service agents...
Sometimes I've just gotta go with it and reference something many geeks would rather not admit they ever liked:)
Yes, somebody who apparently knows how I2 works! We're on I2 at my university, and that's how it works... Linux users, make sure to choose universities (Georgia Tech is a good one, I think) when you're selecting repositories/ISO download sites. And yes, we used to have a DC hub (DC++ is the client) on I2, but that got shut down at least 2 years ago; I never used it because it left the university network and could not be trusted.
My school's online elections typically end up with a lot of votes for a candidate with a very strangely spelled name... a capital B, followed by a varying number of = signs, followed by a capital D. Perhaps they're trying to preserve anonymity for this fellow? Whoever he is, Mister B====D tends to come in second or third for Student Government president.
I'm going to reply to the only part of your post that makes any sense--the final sentence. Unlawful entry is a whole different ballgame than simply finding $100 on the street. One is trespassing with the intent to commit crime. The other is finding a relatively small amount of cash (difficult to find the original owner) in a public place.
e.e. cummings is dead, and you are raping his corpse. What the hell is with twats who think, "I must do something different and obnoxious; people will pay attention to me and if they complain, I can just call them conformist sheep!"
You say brittle minds need rigid formatting conformation to prop themselves up, but aren't you being equally brittle with your dependence on another formatting convention--that of never touching the Sacred Shift Key? It doesn't make you special, it doesn't show what a unique and beautiful snowflake you are, it just shows the kind of attitude one expects from a 15-year-old with a Hot Topic wardrobe and a vague rage against the world.
The blackmailer maybe, but locking the guy up for scanning cisco routers for default passwords, hes no danger to society hes just wasting taxs by being locked up.
If you find an unlocked door, are you in the habit of walking inside and lifting any credit cards or cash you find lying about? I mean, you totally shouldn't go to jail for THAT, you don't know how to pick a lock, you're no danger.
Get it, use it, annoy your roommates. Seriously, I have 3 or 4 of these things, use them all the time, and only had to pay for one ($1.50, the rest were free).
We cut the lines. The Chinese government tells its people how we are attempting yet again to stop the success of China because we're all racist bastards. 5 hours later, we're seeing the missile launches and India (along with all other neighboring countries) is wondering how these millions of Chinese people suddenly got into their country.
As much as I'd like to cut the bastards off too, it would affect world economy in a drastic manner and provide the Chinese government with a really good excuse to start bringing the hurt on the rest of us.
If Apple gets big into the corporate market, their ads are going to have to change. When you're selling to businessmen in suits instead of unshaven hipsters in jeans, you can't exactly continue with the current ads. Unless Apple decides to do a lovely double-faced thing and market themselves as cool and indie to the coffeshop kids and as a really professional option to the corporate guys.
What happens when all the "creative" people discover that Apple is now marketing to The Man? Will we start seeing more Wintel laptops in the coffee shops?
Bandwidth is expensive. Yes, I know you probably pay a flat rate for cable service or whatever, but the ISP is paying based on how much gets sent and received; if everyone's bandwidth use goes up, the expense will be passed on to YOU. If we could reduce the amount of spam going around, who knows, maybe it would be even cheaper to get Internet access.
I'd say it's highly likely that the interconnect will be Infiniband. As for storage... when you get that big, I think there are generally "service nodes" that connect to the storage systems on behalf of the compute nodes; I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say they'll use either Lustre or NFS. I wish there was more information somewhere...
I'm from eastern Washington originally, but I've lived in both Oregon and now in San Francisco (leaving soon, thank god), and all I have to say is... Seattle wants really really badly to be San Francisco North. There's this unholy triumvirate of hippie cities in a row down the coast: Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco. Seattle has lots and lots of crunchy granola types, Portland has its holier-than-thou bicycle hippies (I cycle sometimes myself, but I'm not a dick about it), and San Francisco has hippies of all shapes and sizes and ideologies.
I'm kinda glad to be heading back to school in Rochester, NY. Sure, New York is pretty ridiculous itself, but Rochester at least is more of a dying industrial town + colleges than some sort of hippie mecca.

As long as they don't employ sexy code-formatting monkeys! What a difference a - can make.
But maybe Solaris comes with a spell-checker! That should be a major selling point for you.
Great for shared offices, or public transit, or checking your email in the morning without waking up the roommate.

They said 22,000,000 hours on a 160,000 processor computer. That comes down to about 5.7 days.
"Oh, you run Adblock Plus? Good for youuuu!" *thumbs up*

You see what you did with your gay little browser?
I'm afraid Slashdot has disappeared completely... up its own asshole.
