It's a known fact that methane is one of the gases to blame for global warming, and humans "expell" this gas through their behind several million times accross the world every minute.
So therefore, us humans are causing global warming.
(Would this mean we should really blame most of it on Mexico for its mexican beans?)
I was once part of this show at school, and I sang, and in various rehearsals my microphone failed to work.
Thing is, I did not own the company that created it, and 30 million had not been involved in its development, so it's not near as funny as Bill's shit failing live on stage.:P
I wouldn't, but I once read this story of this surgery that was performed somewhere in the USA and it involved a Win95 box with the surgery software or whatever.
I forgot if it involved lasers or not, but the PC was an essential part of the whole thing, and it turns out that eventually it bluescreen'ed half-way through it, their patient consequently died, and they went to jail under murder charges.
Sure, that's very cool and everything... but does that mean that a thief just needs to dress himself up in mirrors and then he'll be immune to the laser and you'll end up reflecting it on yourself and vaporising your eye sockets... or maybe even set your underwear on fire?
(And if we consider the bad guys being actual females, then they're even more dangerous because they can whack out their little make-up mirrors they always carry in their tiny bags, and use them against you.)
Or if we look at it from the perspective of the bad guys having these lasers... now to be safe you don't just need a tin-foil hat, but a tin-foil full body suit!
Let me be the first to say that www.e-buyonline.com has just been suspended due to "AUP Violation" (whatever that means).

I dunno if Nigel did it, or if the webhosting company suddenly just woke up and took action in cancelling the fucker's hosting account, but whatever it was, well done!
You forgot about the undocumented plussing feature in Gmail...
--- Gmail supports "plus" addressing, which means that if your address is maryhadda@gmail.com, you can receive e-mail at maryhadda+littlelamb@gmail.com or maryhadda+longaddress@gmail.com, etc. Why is this useful? Well, Mary (or you!) could use one, er, I'll call it a "plussing," for mailing lists ("maryhadda+lists"), and another for shopping online ("maryhadda+shopping") and so on, and then create filters to put useful labels on the different types of mail.
Some have suggested that this could also be a useful spam deterrent (e.g., using maryhadda+2004q2 and then discarding e-mail sent to this address the following quarter), but I think this suffers from two key flaws:
1) Spammers are probably smart enough to start stripping off the plussing:(.
2) After a while, you'd have to create a LOT of filters, and -- at least for the moment -- we only get an allotment of 20 filters total. It'd be a shame to use those all up in a (likely futile) attempt to thwart spamjerks.
I hate WinXP SP2... As soon as I installed it, all my firewire devices (two external, big hard drives and my dear iPod) stopped functioning. I immediately uninstalled it and after reinstalling the firewire drivers, it all went back to normal.
I'm never touching that piece of shit until I see an official statement on their webpage that their firewire support is fixed.
My verdict: DON'T install it if you have ANY firewire devices.
The mIRC-X IRC Network... it closed down due to excessive bandwidth costs due to heavy DDoS attacks from an asshole who goes by the name of "Drag0nFly".
I suspect I have an idea of the concept behind how it works.
I once saw this little neat useless object in some store of crazy objects.. it was a sort of disc (think of like a UFO with a hole at the top) and the inside was all mirrors. You would put something small at the bottom of the hole, and it would project out of it, like a cristal-clear hologram. It was super-nifty.
I have a feeling this technology works on a similar concept.
Yeah, French has some serious problems... "ape" and "monkey" are both the same word, "singe".
Therefore, in 'Planet Of The Apes', in the french dubbing, there's a scene where the gorilla says:
"We're not singe, we're singe!!"..when it was meant to say "We're not monkeys, we're apes!"
Odd, eh?
They didn't say anything about not wanting third-party gmail checkers. The reason they made the image verifier thing is to prevent potential abuse from spammers using bots to login and send spam from Gmail (whose fast servers would allow for sending HUGE amounts of spam at once).
It's still possible for third-party Gmail apps to interact with the service. They just need a little upgrade so they read existing cookies rather than login to Gmail to obtain them.
I've explained how to do it here.

Now we can watch software turning into hardware, and observe a manbot root the fuck out of a fembot.
May the next batch of "hard"ware and rooting jokes begin!
Now I'll be getting penis enlargement spam telling me how I could get genetically modified to be a human with a horse's penis. :/
/msg xdccbot[050] xdcc send #7
err, woops... wrong window.
Looks like it's hosted at cox...
:o
That page has so many pictures... I wonder if we're just about to slashdot an ISP.

Sucks.
I am very dissapointed that the word "Overpeer" is not a link...
/. them to death!!
Come on guys, we could

Add a million or two due to the bandwidth costs from the slashdotting. Way to go, /.
On the brighter side, now that their site is unreachable, they have nothing to worry about, I guess..

You appear to forget that only 10% of Google is publicly listed, so even if you bought all the shares, you wouldn't have much luck taking over them.
Deers (and other animals) should learn to use a mouse and play "Shoot the Biped".
I can imagine the administrator wondering...

It's a good thing the FBI is on his ass now.
I for one welcome our new Governoogle Lords.
Let's see...
1) monopoly?
Nope. It's not their fault they give awesome services and the alternatives suck ass.
2) Bugs are features?
Nope. Google Desktop Tool does not bypass user restrictions... perhaps there are no restrictions at all?
3) global sprawl?
Don't really care, as long as they keep offering a great service.
4) two billionaires in charge:
Good for them.. They're making money with unobstrusive advertising. Sounds good to me.

I know this is off-topic, but what the FUCK!?...
I submitted this story 2 days ago, and it got rejected.
Why Slashdot, why!?!?
Of course, you could also use http://www.bugmenot.com/ and use on of their preregistered accounts. ;)
