For those who are too young to remember the Cold War, the DNEPR space launch system used to be the Russian's inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBM).
Call me paranoid, but i have always suspected that ALL cats have something to hide. For one, their behaviour (why are they all acting so friendly towards me?) seems awfully suspicious...
On the outside, the design looks just flawless. A perfectly adorable little abomination. But who knows, what it might be hiding in its cute little tummy...
If these ain't signs of the apocalypse coming, then heck if I could tell ya what are.
I can't remember the rest (it's been a while since i last read The Lesser Known Signs of the Apocalypse), but i think number three was A Rain of Poorly Designed Kittens.
Ladies and gentlemen, may i present the new Slashdot soap opera: Asteroid 2004 MN4!!! That's right -- we have ourselves a new SCO! Watch out, for soon, it'll be demanding $699 license fees from all of you!
This Roland cat isn't providing any service not already adequately met.
Yet each month, a hundred thousand people read the things he posts. It appears that he does serve some function. What he does is saving some people the trouble of having to search for this "interesting" stuff by themselves.
Hey, it might not be much for you, mister multi-millionaire, but for the rest of us, some extra cash will always come in handy, especially during the Christmas season.
And i do think the guy deserves some credit for finding a way to make some money off the Internet.
(I have no special feelings of any sort towards any name. Except the silly ones, which i tend to laugh at. The.sig is just a satire of those people whose.sigs say "I hate group X. If you belong to group X, don't bother to reply.")

Clearly, this must be a prophecy of Britney topping Google Zeitgeist several years in a row.
Imagine boasting that you couldn't "do reading", and found books aimed at ten-year-olds too much of a challenge.
Oh, i fear that you'd be surprised to learn how many people are functionally illiterate (ie can't locate two pieces of information in a sports article). I don't know if any of them are willing to admit it, though.
Another thing is, while practically everyone can speak and read/write in a language, there are still differences in their comprehension ability. Writing skills can also vary greatly -- and you can see people rather proudly showing their inability to form a sentence or to write any words longer than two syllables ("omg lol u r teh sux!").
I suppose they're talking about the Information's right to be free. Meaning that "You" in "YRO" must, in this particular case, refer to information, making all the people posting here Information's tools (or slaves). I bet none of you saw this one coming. Ha.
Perhaps dantheman82 needs to understand the concept of international copyright law.
Nitpick: these were Taco's words, not the submitter's. If you're gonna flog someone for their ignorance, then please at least try to smack the right person:7

...Washington DC was saved by a mound of patriotic Americans who sacrificed their lives to block the stray ICBM from hitting the White House...
It's probably an urban legend, but i've heard of a guy who overclocked a 386 to run at 300 MHz. For a few seconds before the meltdown.
*Wondering who that Russian might have been*
I fail to see how installing linux on it is an upgrade.

So, erm...anyone want a gmail invite? :H
Could be worse. At least we're not giving him a Games Knoppix CD :7

What makes you think MPAA didn't already know of the existence of these sites before this list was posted?
Hmm, yes, i suppose re-reading these wouldn't be a bad idea at all. I'll see what i can do.
I have the proof that stamp collecting can make predictions about the state of physics, but it's too damn long to fit in this margin.
