Oh and don't forget to AdBlock the original video with a suitable pattern, as otherwise Flash and your favorite player will fight a duel to the death over which one is going to play the video, the loser (Flash) often taking the browser down with it.
First off, I think Slashcode ate some tags in your post.
On topic: for YouTube and other embedded video, one can try one of the few bazillion "play this video using embedded MPlayer/Media Player/QuickTime/VLC/whatever" Greasemonkey scripts over on userscripts.org. That is, if you use a Mozilla-based browser.
Well, with the OpenMoko, you can download, compile (leave it on for a week, I guess) and run Emacs, then show your friends that you can do a quadruple bucky cokebottle on your phone with pride!
The biggest weapon they're pointing at us right now could be neutralized if we would just pass a fucking Net Neutrality law.
That's not the most dangerous weapon. That weapon can be neutralized (at least temporatily) with a TV-B-Gone, or, failing that, by pulling its power plug.
Am I to expect my digestive bacteria to be holding psychedelic rave parties in my intestines?
ROTFLMAO!
Queue video of grooving intestinal bacteria getting their stomp on. "Wow, this tastes like Infected Mushroom, yummy!" "Nice visuals by the way, must be the Growling Mad Scientists of Tufts University."
Passer-by: "What kind of voodoo ritual is that guy over there doing to his phone? It looks as if he's trying to pierce it with multiple little sticks all at once while at the same time poking it with his nose." Geek: "That's no voodoo, he's running Emacs on his Openmoko. Those sticks are styluses. Look, he just did a double-bucky! Without dropping his phone! Cool!"
Need a minimalist desktop? Install Enlightenment. The irony. I remember a time when your remark was worded the exact opposite way. Anyway, maybe Enlightenment has learned from its past as a resource eating memory hog, but I would like to suggest Xfce (a very decent desktop able to replace most of Gnome) or fluxbox (ReAlly lightweight) instead.
The Universe itself is the ultimate renewable energy source, assuming its existence is cyclic. It appears out of nothing and ends as nothing. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Oh boy, what have I done? If that's a Universe in my hanky I hope those who lived in it have had a good time...if they didn't, sorry for the inconvenience, guys!
Absolutley everything ever = Omniverse Ubuntu already has Universe and Multiverse, when will someone add Omniverse? I wonder what interesting packages it contains.
Strange that to many people here this seems to be new.
My bank has been sending me OTPs for some 12 years now, at first by regular mail, currently as a text message to my phone, to be used every time I want to make a transaction. (New) usernames and passwords have to be collected in person at the bank by presenting them with the confirmation letter and proper ID.
Friends of mine who do internet banking with other banks have been using a personal card reader/PIN pad and a challenge/response system for at least 6 years now.
If there was some way of accessing the information by name or a number that could identify an individual then it would be covered. Easy. CCTV recorders store the time a recording was made in some way (whether blended into the picture or not). So just wear a shirt prominently showing the time at which you know you will be in view, then claim that's your band name or something. Maybe you could even collect royalties in that way.
That's how the timeline must have split. In one timeline people ate Bear's stuff and realized that reality dissolved before their eyes when they took a good hard look at it. In the other timeline people drank Beer and reality dissolved before their eyes because they swung their fists at it. Needless to say I prefer Bear over Beer any time
If I were reading a book by the light emitted by nuclear power not involving electricity, I would be much more worried about the reality of me disintegrating than reading about reality disintegrating.
Secondly: K-PAXians have known how to harness the power of light for a very long time, and if humans would have the beginnings of that understanding, things might be a lot easier. The real point of my joke must have gotten lost in translation into text.
The point was that putting so many registered Apple trademarks along with a mention of "authorized service provider" might appear to a being with highly sensitive perception to be e very subtly crafted attempt to lure search engine spiders into ranking this Slashdot article more prominently on Apple related search result pages. Ironically, our exchange may just serve to reinforce this.
Of course I know that cats don't usually eat fruit. (Sadly) I'm just as much an Earth-bound omnivorous creature as (I suppose) you are.

A word which I think is entirely appropriate here is: de facto, as used in the expression: the de facto government of the United States.

There are dozens of examples of funny mistranslations out there. Have a look at the Engrish site.
Sounds like the person who carries the unlikely name of "It's Me" answering the phone, having to explain that this is his/her real name.
Word in print can be great fun, too, with hyphenation rules, uncertain context and all:
"What do you want for the people?"
(Emphatic, stressing the syllables) "Just-ice!"
"Should the cream be whipped?"
"Whipping is alright, as long as justice is served!"
"Ok, ice creams coming up."

Ok, nevermind, there's still an older version that works with Firefox2
Naaah, it says Vimperator only works with Firefox3. Same as saying you need Gnome 2.22 with Compiz Fusion to run xeyes.

First of all: :-)

Jaguar. Panther. Tiger. Leopard. Apple. Apple.
How many felines are there on your planet? And do they all eat the same kind of fruit?

(Paraphrased from a quote by prot, from the movie K-PAX.)
This has been tried before. Have a look at this Linux kernel backdoor attempt.
Skynet is already active, has been for several years. Little did we realize that it took over grey matter, not silicon, at many TLAs and now the USAF.
Think again.
