As long as *individuals* can also copyright information, it's okay by me. Build up a db of info about me, copyright it, BAM, I can sue people/companies with my personal information.
I got all 151 in the original Pokemon Yellow, (yes, including Mew, without cheating, got it at a Nintendo event), all 251 in Pokemon Silver (Yes, Celebi too), and I'm working on Ruby. Just need to trade a few more pokemon, and grab Jirachi from the upcoming Pokemon Colosseum, I don't have any idea how to get Deoxy without cheating, Nintendo is still holding the cards on that one;-). I'm holding off buying a GameCube until Colosseum comes out.
Yes, I am a pokemon fanatic. How did you guess? I would have filled up my Ruby's Pokedex months ago, except for the fact that I have to do actual work up here in the University of Wisc @ Madison...
In case you're wondering, I do have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours logged on my Pokemon games.. Have Yellow (first one), Blue, Red, Silver, Gold (2), Crystal, Sapphire, Ruby, Pokemon Stadiums 1 & 2, and the special release of Pokemon Yellow Gameboy. It does take dedication, and hard work, but you can catch em all.
Tech hasn't caught up to fiction until we have an actual Super Star Destroyer Lusankya blasting the blithering hell out of Pluto or some other planet...
PageRank weeds out a lot of spammer sites, but it didn't weed out the litigious bastards thing by itself. Google Management made a decision to remove the SCO link, but did nothing to remove the links about the Google Bomb. If PageRank had thought the litigious bastards campaign had been spam, it would have weeded out all pages that linked using the litigious bastards phrase. Currently, if you do a search for litigious bastards on Google, the first link that shows up is my own website, www.litigiousbastards.com
Personally, I really can't fault Google for their decision, but I wish they would have left it up. If Google wanted to, it could easily filter out the sites for miserable failure, french military victories, etc.
and arguments over whether it's a good idea to have separate women's matches."
Why? This isn't real life, where men have more muscle than women do (I'm not being sexist, just take an intro biology course), and are therefore superior to women in terms of pure strength, speed, etc. Online, everybody's equal, the characters can be tuned to roughly equivalent stats, the only thing that matters is reflexes to move the mouse and hit the keyboard.
I'm listening to them battle for the crown of incompetence as I'm dealt a new hand of cards when a frightening thought occurs to me. Our clueless bunch is now part of the technical-support staff for one of the world's top three computer manufacturers, and in seven days we're going to be taking your calls.
Dell's support line was like this when I called them last summer... Hopefully now that Dell is moving call centers back home again, better service is just around the corner.
But they're going to have to make it work better, say 75% of all email received. Hell, most legitimate mail you receive are emails from people/orgs you're corresponded with previously, so why doesn't it work on more than 50% of emails?
So, what you're telling me is that Bush is stupid as an orc*, a troll who's pro-business, and cares only about his reelection prospects... What else is new?
*apologies to the Orcish-Americans out there, I know that's a grave insult.
Wasn't there a slashdot article about someone using a tiny Intel CPU to build a whole computer on a chip only 5-6 by 1-2 inches big? Wouldn't that be useful? I visited the site when the slashdot article went up, but now I can't find it. Anyone have a link?
We won't see overvalued Internet stocks for a long time to come... Except maybe when Google IPO's, and then it's questionable whether a $6 billion dollar IPO is overvaluing it..
Yup, you're absolutely right. Does the RIAA even look at the lyrics to it's songs? Probably not. I'm surprised the RIAA hasn't been sued over it, or at least individual labels.
Slashdot Mirror
Terrific, but when it costs $3200 for even the cheapest version count me out. Count me in when someone build it for less than $1K.
Can we get some specs? Site's already Slashdotted.
As a side note, this is only good for hacking if the internal components are amenable to it. Would be fun to do stuff with this...

According to Whois information (CAPTCHA required), yahooslurp.com is owned by a flower store site. How long until Yahoo figures this out and hammers the store into the ground?

"The helicopter was intended to counter Soviet weapons."
In Soviet Russia, YOU threaten Soviet threats!
Yes actually, it was. I lost track of the number of times I got bounced around the phone tree. Sucks for me, I guess....

That was hilarious... I was laughing my head off. The sad thing about it, though, is it's mostly true.

Really? Not to be OT, but how do you go around getting a real estate license?

Small, fast, efficient music server. Just plop in a massive hard drive, decent motherboard, etc, and you're good to go. For software, just run an old version of Windows, pop a good streaming music server on (Icecast maybe? Heard good things about it).

Of course, you know they're playing Halo and just want their own Master Chief...
...going to pass New Mexico's Senate and governor. And yes, I think this is a stupid idea.
This is excellent.... I want to get some Beatles songs off iTunes. Only thing is, I need to drink like 30 Pepsi bottles to buy all the songs I want...
