My floor? It'll make it all of two feet before getting caught at the Ephel Duath of papers, books, and clothes on the floor.
Mine wouldn't even make it that far.
They really should look at the habits of people who *need* a devious alarm clock and hurry out an all-terrain model:P
You know those little airplanes flying around on strings, attached to the ceilings of various hobby stores? Take this idea, combine it with this one... Bingo. Loud, snoozeless, flying alarm clock.
I cannot describe the toodling buzzing, distorted horn noise it made. If you heard it you'd know.
I wrote a little bash script for my alarm clock. It cranks the pcm/vol channels way the hell up and starts playing a really irritating soundfx mp3 after a delay.
Every once in a while, I get the urge to change the mp3 to "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard"...
Standard karaoke makes me ill. I have to summon all my energy when in a karaoke bar/setting/whatever - usually against my will - to not shout out loud: "You suck! Shut the f*ck up!"
After enough drinks, one fails to repress this urge.
It is unclear whether or not this is a good thing.
I wouldn't install it if I had a signed afidavit from the CEO saying it won't call home or resist uninstallation, distills whiskey and prints $100 notes.
How does this matter? Sorry, but running J2ME apps on the SKII has no connection whatsoever to having Javascript on the CSK browser.... Sorry, I just had to speak out there.
Sure it does. Means they're making progress. Maybe one day they'll make it a real browser.
SKII: Make me a real browser! Blue Fairy^W^WDev Team: *prang!*
They're rolling out Java support for the SKII sometime this summer, I believe. No news on Javascript support yet.
I heard the SKII [proxy] does do some limited CSS, but happily ignores whatever the "mobile" stylesheet is called and goes for the "screen" instead, breaking things.
OT, but why the hell do people feel compelled to use Javascript to do simple forms? They have submit buttons that go through Javascript instead of just submitting the damned thing. Don't misunderstand me, I've got nothing against forms that use Javascript to verify input, but when it breaks browsers with Javascript disabled, foo on them.
Sorry, just woke up, ranting incoherently. Blarble!
All those drones out there are infected with whatever, right?
How about, instead of blasting them back[0], we make a quick pass to determine what flavour of compromised the machine is, then exploit the bug to remove and patch it?
Yes, I know this isn't a new idea, but it seems to me a hell of a lot better in one paragraph than the article summary. And yes, I know it'd eat a lot of bandwidth, and you'd get the destination servers possibly stepping on each others' toes. You could roll some dice, add to a DNSBL of sorts, whatever. Rough idea.
[0] Sounds like they're just sending bounce messages. I just RTFA'd in the middle of posting to make sure I wouldn't sound completely clueless:
IBM is not concerned about liability, even in cases where innocent senders might be misidentified as spammers, because all the technology does is bounce back the e-mails, said Gail.
Make that http://www.gpl-violations.org/. My sig manifests itself -- not posting sober. Happy Saint Jack's Day.:-) The URL redirects to the one in parent, though.

They make good, cute little cases, when you insulate them -- they conduct.
Probably not the first to say this, but who the hell would get a tattoo of a URL?
Three years later, "Hey, man, your tat 404'd".
Sure.

Crap.
A: One.
It is unclear whether or not this is a good thing.
I'd like to think it is.
Now I see why everyone's so afraid of clowns.

Every time someone posts a Wikipedia link, I get stuck there all night.

You remember Independence Day? They didn't want our natural resources, they were just pissed off after a thousand-year-long Perl debugging effort.
The entire first screenful of comments is people trying to be intellectual in the face of Mensa, and doing the whole it's-its, your-you're thing.
I take it your application was rejected for spelling "dishonor" incorrectly.

Sorry if someone's posted this already, but the link from that page to http://gpl-violators.org/ is half-broken. It contains an extra double-quote.
Ah, touche. Suppose I got carried away.
;-)
Mine looked cooler, though.
