No, you're all wrong. It runs on a Phantom gaming console. The exact processor of the Phantom is debatable, but at least it will run Duke Nukem Forever.
I didn't RTFA, but it sounds like they're just running ethernet cables (or OC12 or whatever) to Mars. Didn't they stop to think that the planets move? Ridiculous! The ESA and NASA really need to get their acts together.
LOTR, eh? Good thinking. Maybe a reference to the big schpiel [sic] in Independence Day or something would have been nice as well? Maybe Jar-Jar is Darl's long-lost son? How about the revelation that Watson is actually Sub-Zero? And then he has to make a decision about whether his best friend lives... *tearing up*... or DIES.
After getting modded +5, Informative, I'm feeling the need to come clean about the above post. That passage is actually from the abriged Chapter X, a.k.a. the "Ninja Watson" chapter. Since the events described in that chapter haven't transpired yet, IBM felt it was in their best interests to not reveal the intricacies of their current business plan by including that chapter in the current revision of this book.
Unfortunately, I am unable to delete the parent post and I am now afraid for my life since the ninja-in-training Watson may now be out for my blood.
While the product itself may be cost $0.02, I bet you're gonna pull an eBay and charge $10 for shipping anywhere in the lower 48 cities of Delaware. Oh well, at least it's from Delaware, the land of
While that may be grammatically correct, if you tell someone that you're going to "Pearl Harbor" them, the sneakiness of the attack is thus voided, so your sentence is not a semantically correct English sentence.
Oh, and Perl Harbor was a joke. Perhaps IHBT? Either way, I plan to HAND.
If you're gonna spoil it, at least do it right. The following is copied from the end of the book:
Watson stumbled a few feet and finally collapsed onto the ground, his face covered with dirt, freshly moistened by the heavy rain. He was disoriented, but well aware that the cliff's edge was merely inches from him.
"We are losing our patience, Mr. Watson! The next kick will surely land you on the sharp rocks below. Why do you feel the need to hide the meaning of the name IBM?"
Watson groaned and looked up. He spat in the man's face.
"I don't deal with your kind!"
As Watson ached out this comment, a bolt of lightning came crashing down on the other side of the cliff. In the momentary daylight, Watson recognized his enemy.
"Darl! I should have known! First you try and steal our IP, then you claim we've stolen your's!"
Darl chuckled.
"Have you seen our stock price? Your only salvation lies with us!
"No. You're not my salvation! You're nothing but litigous bastards!"
With that insult, Darl signalled for his army of lawyers to take care of Watson once and for all. But as soon as one lawyer took a step forward, Watson pulled out a small blue card from his blue trenchcoat. He raised the card high in the air and then furiously whipped his arm down, sending the card flying towards the lawyer at a seemingly relativistic speed.
The card was not a standard IBM business card. It was made of metal with sharp edges. The corner penetrated the approaching lawyer's head and sent him flying backwards, the splattering blood mixing with rain drops in the air.
Watson then began hurling the cards one after another at every lawyer until they all laid on the grown, lifeless. Just they way they should.
"For RMS! For Linus! For FREEDOM!"
With those words, Watson hurled his last business card at Darl McBride. Darl's head snapped back with the impact, producing a loud cracking noise eminating from his neck area. Darl took a step backwards and collapsed, the card still sticking part way out of his head. Emblazoned on the blood-soaked blue metal were the letters IBM. Underneath, in a miniscule roman font were the words "International Business Machines."
Just another day at the office in the life of Mr. Watson.
I suggested storing them serparately because someone might want to download an archive of just the reviews that are no longer in the (truncated) RSS feed. If they want the reviews, why would they need the headlines?
This led to my question of whether a large repository of RDF reviews could be created and have reviews aggregated there automatically by polling RSS feeds. Of course, there could be a problem with this setup. All the large feed aggregators got tired of wasting bandwidth re-downloading eleventy billion or so feeds everyday and then switched to RPC-based update notification.
RDF and OWL don't necessarily have anything to do with the browser. They're aimed more at new Semantic Web tools. Yes, they have uses within some browsers (I believe Mozilla uses RDF), but your argument is similar to saying that RSS won't ever catch on because IE doesn't support it.
I've been looking for some sort of RDF review vocabulary so that I can incorporate product reviews into RSS feeds (but also store them seperately in a complete archive or something). With some sort of review aggregator/grabber, it seems like this would be simple to find out if your friends (as opposed to zealots) liked/disliked a product. The best-looking review vocabulary I've found is the Ideagraph one.
Any tools that support reviews with such a format? Or any repositories for RDF reviews? Other formats?
Tell that to Debian Troll's Best. I'll admit that I don't completely understand all of the technical details, but it appears that the Apt package management system from Debian is on the verge of saving humanity as we know it.
What are you talking about? These mockups are clearly slightly different from past years! Perhaps no code has been written, but everyone knows that impressive mockups are the key to building successful open source software with your newly-created SourceForget account.
For an RPG, I'd suggest looking into a Playstation emulator and then picking up a copy of Valkyrie Profile, Final Fantasy VII/VIII, Suikoden 2, or whatever. That's what I do (on x86 Linux, though, not Mac).

I think you meant the "electrical college." Learn to spell.

And his friend is a talking pie.

Yes, it was something of a joke. Luckily it was modded as Funny and not Insightful =)

Yes, praise be to $DEITY for that event.
Actually, you're still at Score: 0. But I'm sure the moderators would thank you for the hints on rating your post.

Did you even READ the name of the project I referenced? It's called Autopackage. It takes care of that for you.
What are you talking about? These mockups are clearly slightly different from past years! Perhaps no code has been written, but everyone knows that impressive mockups are the key to building successful open source software with your newly-created SourceForget account.
So this is a similar effort to Autopackage except that it plans on using the native package formats? Intriguing...
1. Take an out-of-context and incorrect generalization
2. Post it as concisely as possible
3. ??? (Something involving moronic moderators
4. KARMA!!!
Shouldn't shift and 0 yield a right parenthesis with lang=us? Because of this, I'm guessing that Knoppix actually boots into lang=not_us.
Fair enough. So how do I mod the story as a troll?
Can anyone verify this? Sounds kind of far-fetched.

Sucker... I guess the concept of P2P is lost on you =)
You should watch Bowling for Columbine. It's a cultural thing.
