    Gotta eat it fast, as it goes bad after 1045 hours.

  2. Re:Food supply? on New Blu-ray Disc to be Made of Corn · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think that this would significantly impact food production. We already pay farmers not to grow things. I'm even thinking of not growing a few hundred acres of corn on my 1/8 acre plot.

    This would be great for corporate espionage. If you are caught by security, you can hastily wolf it down. No more evidence!!

    That'll be over quick. The Republicans are strong in the military and among gun nuts.

  6. Re:An Honest Question on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 1

    This is true, I live in Dayton, Ohio, and just down the road, in Piqua (pop. 20738), they have a Libertarian mayor. So it CAN be done on a local level. Think bottom up people, not top down.

  7. Re:*NOT* a Free Speech and/or Patriot Act Issue on Secret Service Reads Livejournal · · Score: 1

    Yes, but Bush probably doesn't think about things that deeply. He'd simply fall back on "God works in mysterious ways" and leave it at that.

  8. Re:*NOT* a Free Speech and/or Patriot Act Issue on Secret Service Reads Livejournal · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, Bush believes in the power of prayer, so, to him, this IS a legitimate threat.

  12. Re:Here's what WHOIS says: on Beware 'Fedora-Redhat' Fake Security Alert · · Score: 1

    I had some similar fun with a Nigerian scammer once that way. I pretended to be interested in his offer and I went to his free email provider and signed up as mail-admin, and sent him an email telling him his account is being monitored for illegal activity and threatening to close his account. Because of this, each time he contacted me, he politely asked me to email him at a new address. I'd send the same threatening form letter to the new address from "mail-admin". He apparently figured it out and gave up after a few iterations.

    "When Microsoft lowers their prices then they will have to partition their market into full/higher cost solutions and chopped/lower cost solutions"

    They already do that. EmBedded XP? Starter Edition? XP Home? XP Professional? Server 2003? It's all priced based on what features they leave out.

  14. Arms race? on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    So then the TV manufacturers develop a TV which can be locked in the ON position through the setup menu. Then the keychain maker modifies the keychain to work around this. Then the TV manufacturers add a password. Then the keychain manufacturer adds a dictionary attack feature. Then the TV maker gives each remote a key unique to a given TV. Then universal remotes won't work anymore and everyone will be pissed off because they have to order replacement remotes from the factory and the keychains will be worthless.

  15. From the article... on Hannu H. Kari Gives The Internet 2 More Years · · Score: 1, Funny

    Then Kari added, "If the Internet doesn't die on its own in two more years, I'm gonna shoot it myself." He then went on to suggest that BSD is dying, that flying cars are a decade away and that Longhorn will be released by 2007.

  25. Additional revelations... on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    The New York Times also revealed the following additional revelations:

    An intercepted parcel containing an assortment of lamp hardware, which the Bush administration insisted was for constructing a hash pipe, was in fact intended for repairing Saddam's collection of Tiffany lamps damaged in the first Gulf War.

    A shipment of innertubes, which were thought to be destined to become slingshots, were in fact ordered after some jackoff installed the spikes backwards at the Baghdad airport.

    A Soviet-era nuclear submarine, which was being smuggled across the mountains along the border with Turkey, was actually intended for marine biology research.

    The green copper statue of Saddam holding up a torch in Baghdad harbor welcoming huddled masses yearning to be oppressed was not a gift from the French. Rather it was constructed on Saddam's orders by local workers.

    Other shocking revelations will surely follow as this story continues to unravel.
