For all those who enjoyed that post......might I suggest this classic short story (http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/mnkyspaw.htm) on which it was probably based.
I've never actually heard of that. Interesting read. Thanks for the link AC!
Why thank you,:D one of my rules for genie wishes is to be very> specific. If it is a good genie you might get what you want, if it is an evil one. You get what you asked for.;)
You arrive on the island of naked women (with real nice tits). They hate outsiders, they have weapons. Your foot long woodpecker flees as soon as it gets wind of your impending doom.
As you take flight to the other side of the island, you come across an all-you-can-eat buffet. Composed entirely of decomposing meat and various species of wood.
Running past the line of dining condors and termites, you fall into a giant pit. There are lots of handholds out, however, there is lube all over them. Lots of lube.
You soon feel hungry (due to your obscenely active metabolism) and get very hungry.
I don't see this as a 'terrorist' thing, I think they are great for just general power outages. As I said somewhere else here, small stores and shops would benefit from these, as those places generally don't have battery powered emergency lights.
These have tons of use, pretty much everywhere but residential use really. (Where you want to dark right away so you can sleep or watch a movie.)
I imagine once production starts up we will see a price drop after a bit. I hope demand catches on, these are cool.
They make one that can be hit with a hammer and not break. I imagine if they are intended to be taken out of the fixture (As in, the purchaser knows that one is accessable) you would get the tough ones. More 'spensive yes, but safer. I know if I had a shop/store I'd want a few of these. Put em right by the front door/counter so you can see to find a way out. (Not every store has emergency lighting.)
True, I did not think of it that way. If you could compress it a bit, it might fit on a single CD. Amazing. Or a 1GB flasd drive, carry your genetic code in an easy to read format at all times!
It is sorta funny, as you know they had to review it as a team and were discussing it. "No no, I think it needs to be longer. Maybe a shade darker. Can you make that motion a little smoother?"

I get off work at 12:40, and my drive home takes me past a B&N. So I'm planning on stopping by to see if they have any. If not, no biggie. I'll just wait a week or two and get a copy elsewhere.
If there is no limit, and no one owns space, is there any reason you can't take up a collection to shoot it down?;)

I really doubt there will be another GTA # as a title, as people (myself included) seem to like the plot/story better then random silent thug in the city does stuff.
I've always thought a public peer to peer wireless network would be awesome. NO centrally controlled server, just the devices themselves. A totally public run wireless 'internet' as it were. A PC card in your laptop/PC could run on a new spectrum, unclogged. Kinda like a city wide ah-hoc network.
Could drive into a new city, connect to the network (which, as each device acts like a repeater*, could extend very far) load us the chat and ask where to get a bite to eat.
*It is just an imagined device, so no need to get all 'thats impossible currently!' on me.
Also no need to point out the many flaws in this, such as ah-hoc networks have massive overhead, spammers flooding it, etc. The parent just reminded me of this. Always sorta cool to think about it.
Slashdot Mirror
You gotta read each story though, there might be new content.
Huh? So you did not really try it? If I go to http://slashdot.org/dsghs I get slashdot's 404 message.
If I go to http://www.fklgsadfklg.com/ I get the new "Firefox can't find the server at www.fklgsadfklg.com."
Unlike IE this does not replace a server generated 404.
Big improvement over the normal popup 'server cant be found' deal.
(Watch someone actually register fklgsadfklg.com now)

Well if they kill you, you can't enjoy it for very long. And is there any mention of how nice looking the rest of them are? >:)

I think the humor in RvB comes from WHAT they say, not the medium it is on. If it was written as a story, or a webcomic, it might be just as funny.
Where Garfield is same crap, different panel. (Oh, you missed a huge portion of strips, Jon being rejected over the phone.)

They were 1.5 Kcal, then they got 30% bigger. (They look a bit fatter) So they are indeed 2Kcal currently.
That is the funniest thing I've read all day. :D
Woah, it's the descendent of Bloody Stupid Johnson!

Re: Your sig, not to crap on it, but the human genome is 3 Gigabytes according to the project page.
"Since the human genome is 3 billion base pairs long, 3 gigabytes of computer data storage space are needed to store the entire genome." (pops)
Wouldn't that mean it would be around 25.8 (rounded) gigabits?
Not being a troll, just thought something was a bit (haha) off.

Not the actual flash with just the song, but a tale of woe with an infectious tune.

Most people I know consider GTA:SA #5.
GTA (London pack included)
GTA 2
GTA 3
GTA: Vice City (4)
GTA: San Andreas (5)

Unless you have an R10 (like me) who can't mod without romoving and flashing chips.
