  1. Re:I can log out ANY time I want to. on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 1

    Yup :) The original song is great. Funny too, in the context of my IRC addiction and the Net. Gaaah you've encouraged me to bastardise the whole verse now :D (device, programmed, receive and kill were already in there..). Further editorial sugestions: feast->flame, beast->lame.
    Here it goes (changed lines marked by *):

    Mirrors on the ceiling
    Pink champagne on ice
    And she said
    We are all just prisoners here
    Of our own device

    And in the master's #chambers *
    They gathered for the feast
    They stab it with their wheely mice *
    But they just can't kill the beast

    Last thing I remember
    I was pounding alt ef-four *
    I had to find the passage back to the place I was before

    Relax said the peon *
    We are programmed to receive
    You can log out any time you like *
    But you can never leave_

    What I was trying to say is that social and mental isolation need not affect life ALWAYS

    On that I Agree, apologies.

    I am both isolated and lonely, on occasion. I have endogenous depression. Yet I had a gf (until recent).

    Spare a thought for those of us who are isolated and lonely every waking minute, who have never had a gf and are unlikely to ever come close to getting one because of said endogenous depression.

    Still feel angry when we make associations such as: 'got a gf -> is not as depressed as i am -> is not depressed relative to me -> is not depressed'? I dont see why.

    *strikes a tune* You can log out any time you like, But you can never leave

  5. Other books already do this... on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 1

    Knuth's "Art of Computer Programming" uses a fictional assembly language written especially for the book!

  6. Re:Work on Unemployed? Why Not Start a Software Company? · · Score: 1

    Exactly my point :) Crazy or not, the funny thing is... a whole load of those projects actually get done [scroll down]. I've completed about a dozen projects at RAC for rediculously low sums of money. Not that I needed the money; was just bored with everything else in life. Now I kind of got seriously bored of RAC too. My life sucks.

    *sigh*

    Have a look at rentacoder. It most likely won't pay your bills but it might feed your goldfish...

  8. Interestink pheachure on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Having everything@mydomain redirected to me, I've just noticed that this thing randomly spews out prefix names. In an hour received emails targeting: mary@* george@* smith@* Have not seen anything as prolific in terms of random addressing. The virii before this one very rarely threw up random names. *shrug*

    Err, typo boyguards->boyguards.. heh.. :/

  14. Re:bodyguards on SCO Hints at *BSD Lawsuits Next Year, And More · · Score: 1
    Maybe the bodyguards should get some boyguards, that way when their HQ gets attacked by "The Coalition of Corporations" we get a little more action.

    Remember that simpsons episode with 007, flamethrowers and stuff.. :D

    Allow 8 weeks for delivery after purchase

    But I want it NOW!

    I meant.. what about the interest on that money over 8 weeks?
