Actually, it would have been funny if it called up the local Pizza Hut. Or maybe if it randomly dialed people and asked if their refrigerator was running. This, on the other hand, was just dangerous.
"So, mmm-hay, as you can see, I've loaded the evolving virus program onto my wife's Windows computer so that she can experience the evolving and GLAVEN and whatnot for herself. Now, let me just power up the machine and you can see the evolving and surviving and the natural selecting and whatnot for yourself. Brace yourselves, gentlemen."
My uncle did something similar to this back in the '70s. His roommates and him shared a keg, and they needed a way to decide hoe much each's share was. He put a switch on the tap handle and connected it to a panel with three keyswitches and three hour-meters like you see on forklifts. Each roommate had a key, which connected the appropriate meter to the tap switch. If someone tried to fill a glass without inserting and turning their key, an alarm would go off. Whenever they'd buy a keg, they would note how far each meter changed since last time and divy up the cost accordingly.

Eben announced his intentions to upgrade the GPL with a new processor, a better graphics card, and more memory. This will enable resource intensive software to use the GPL as well.
To make our economy stronger and more competitive, America must reward, not punish, the efforts and dreams of entrepreneurs. Small business is the path of advancement, especially for women and minorities, so we must free small businesses from needless regulation and protect honest job-creators from junk lawsuits. Justice is distorted, and our economy is held back, by irresponsible class actions and frivolous asbestos claims -- and I urge Congress to pass legal reforms this year.
I find this paragraph troubling. He starts talking about fostering small business. Fair enough. But then he somehow twists this into a gripe about asbestos lawsuits. Whaa? Now, let's see, why does Bush consider hindering asbestos lawsuits important? Let's make this one multiple choice:
Why is Bush against asbestos lawsuits?
A. Most small businesses use asbestos in their daily operations.
B. The victims knew the danger and purposefully breathed in asbestos dust anyways.
C. Halliburton paid $4.2 billion to settle such a lawsuit in 1998.
D. Asbestos is a good source of vitamin E.
I bought a hands free system so I could talk on the cell phone in the car and IT DIDN'T WORK. As soon as I turned it on and let go of the steering wheel, the car drifted off the road and hit a Big Boy statue. What a rip off.
Or better yet, put a satellite with a reentry capsule stocked with food and supplies in orbit. In an emergency, the satellite could rendezvous with the shuttle, the astronauts could get in the capsule and return to Earth.
In other news, a representative from Yugo blasted BMW for not putting rear window heaters on their cars. "If you have to push it in the winter, your hands will get cold. What a crappy car."

Well, I'm sure police radios can be jammed too. As for traditional telephones, efforts to install land lines in the cruisers have proven unsuccessful.
Fast enough that you'd be out of range of the access point before you could find out if it worked or not.
Officer: Are you aware that you were going 0.90c in a 55 mph zone?
Driver: Ummm... I was?
Officer: Didn't you notice the blue shift son?
It's a perfectly cromulent word.
So, more than 21 people need to call 911 when you drive to work? Are you that bad at driving?

Don't drink and download.
Yeah, they made a bad name for themselves, so they changed it.

My wife is going to kill me.
I saw a piece of hardware documentation once that said "semi-hot-pluggable". Wonder where that fits in?

How about we build a Starbucks on it?
"Walton could not be reached for comment."
Hell, it worked in Germany. Thanks to Hitler, Germany is now one of the most liberal nations on Earth.
Yes, and by allowing it to re-enter at the appropriate point, we can even deliver it.
Actually, Bush's problem with the Hubble is that it's pointed away from Earth.

I think you can guess which is the right answer.
The other guy in the car can scream if the car is about to hit something, alerting the driver to take action.
I bought a hands free system so I could talk on the cell phone in the car and IT DIDN'T WORK. As soon as I turned it on and let go of the steering wheel, the car drifted off the road and hit a Big Boy statue. What a rip off.
Additionally, the crossbar latch can be locked across the steering wheel to prevent car theft.
If it moves, shoot it.
If it doesn't move, pick it up.
If you can't pick it up, paint it.
Well, they are brands. Martha Stewart Living? Her name is the brand. There's of people who've turned their names into brands:
Vidal Sassoon
Tommy Hilfiger
Colonel Sanders
Antoine Bugleboy
Lazslo Panaflex
etc.
The list goes on and on.
The idea was that the satellite could come to you.
Or better yet, put a satellite with a reentry capsule stocked with food and supplies in orbit. In an emergency, the satellite could rendezvous with the shuttle, the astronauts could get in the capsule and return to Earth.
