Twas the week before Xmas and all through the city
The killer Santa Claus Robot was running a muck without pity.
Those who had not sheltered would be filled full of dread
As the murderous machine would ensure they would be dead.
His bolts screwed too tight, his software malfunctioned.
Now Santa seeks a bloodlust consumption.
The children would scream with nightmares in bed
Fearing that psycho Santa would put a pike in their head.
"The world has been naughty!" The automation replied "Merry Xmas you all! Now you're all going to die!"
With that said the machine ended the speech he had made
And turned his whole body into a pipebomb grenade!!
The sound of sharp nailes protruding out of his robot shell from his head to his toes
Was a sign that santa's incendiary carcass was going to explodes!
He spoke not a word as the city incinerated in an atomic white light
Robot Santa destroyed it all and he did it in one night!
After reading up about Intellegent Design (ID), It is quite clear that ID is one of the most stupid theories I have ever read. Despite their huge differences, Evolution and Creation make more sense than this ID kitch.
In fact why I am even commenting on this issue. I think TacoMan can answer this one for me.
The could have added a scene were you see John Madden doing one of the women from Desperiate Housewives.
"Hot Coffee" meats Monday Night Football. --AUGH! MY EYES!
Last week Google said they would not allow porn sites to use their Google Base, which just about everyone, including the major porn webmasters, agreed was fair enought. But those few lousy jerks and some bogus sites whined about it citing that "they would get any business". These are the people that we DON'T want to have any business because they load computers with spyware, adware, and spam.
Here's probably what really went down. Not willing to accept defeat, they tell their sob story to Micro$oft. Money, and perhaps some bodily fluids, were transacted. MS will probably deny there affiliation or that they --ahem--"oral contract" ever took place. Microsoft gets computers tapped, the bogus porn sites screw with our computers and tell their friends in the spam business. Everyone's general security is undermined.
The telephone industry (one of the four main "Dinosaur Industries (c), TM, inc., whatever") seems to still believe they still have the power to dictate our free will with ad nausium. What they don't get is that their days are numbered. The days of telemarketing, vaccuum cleaner salesmen, and snake oil are over.
People are starting to get that the American dream is nothing more than a Rich Man's Big Rock Candy Mountain and Joe Blows Nightmare.
Joe Blow is not going to sit there and let the Phone Company turn the Internet into Television. Joe Blow doesn't watch television anymore because it sucks. Joe Blow refuses to be dragged back to his seditative state, constant FUD, and mindless consumerism. The Internet has put the Dinosaur Industries in check, but they refuse to be driven to extinction.
If Ma' Bell wants to strangle you with the phone cord, strangle her with the Cable.
This guy wasted his time trying to discipline HIS kids with this aweful device? Couldn't 40 inches of rawhide leather be just as effective? Oh, that's right. Beating children with belts is much worse that a high frequency sound that could damage the ears or say a tazer which could put holes in in your clothing and cause neurologocial damage if you get tazed in the spine.
This sound appears all the time on eMpTyV2 when they announce concerts. I seem to find more concerts in a copy of the St. Louis Riverfront Times in these places called "local venues". Secondly, what's to keep the establishment from using it as a disciplinary weapon in schools? It's bad enough we have tasers. (Help you that you don't get tazed in the spine!)
Could you believe it? Just a few days after closing down their website (slashGOTH.org) our website (slashDOT.org) gets this news. It would have been interesting to see their reaction.
You can go as Thing and Uncle Fester at the same time! Creap out the neighbors when they seen a hand running down the street. If you already have hands, double your typing productivity as Four-arms-man! Scare the crap out of your family by putting your hand it the garbage disposal, a second time! One up that guy who is dressed up at Bato from Ghost in the Shell. Join a bowling team. High five someone from across the room!

Lego has a great product. There is nothing wrong with the product. It is not hard to develop or research because the blue prints can be derived from real life applications, like the Technic series was.
The person who wrote the article stated that Lego assembly was "scripted" and "devoid of imagination". The only people who wrote that stuff are the people who HAVE not imagination. Generally, this can be attributed to the marketing agency which limits itself to a select few brand names or icons that they believe people will recognize and buy products related to the other icons or brands insted of the Lego brand. Hence, Spider-man, and Harry Potter get more recongintion than Lego. The people in charge of marketing did not help Lego, the helped the people at Marvel Comics and Time Warner. Accounting also has a hand in the destruction of the Lego corporation. These are simiple plastic peices that can be manufactured at any plastics molding plant. However, the accounting department decided that only China should be given the honor. Hence, instead of producing an inexpensive product, the cost of creating the Legos have increased.
If consumers aren not happy, the investors won't be happy, and the Lego corporation won't be happy. It is a loss for everyone.
I second the use of the fluxbox window manager. You can easily modify the right click menu and run various KDE widgits (i.e.: KNotes). It would also be a good idea to use a Termial console like aterm or eterm instead of xterm, Konsole, or the GNOME Terminal.
First thing I like about 1.5 is that SVG is now supported. The Second thing I like about 1.5 is the 3D Canvas FPS Engine. What will really win me over is if they offered VRML/X3D support.
I'm taking a peek at the source codes for this web page and they are very well written. He says it does not have much direction at this time. On the contrary. This project has much potential.
Take one Microsoft hellbent on becoming the only game in town even if they are sued by various governments around the world. Add one supercomputer corporation. Add one easily manipulated United Nations to strike out any metioning of Open-Source Software. Mix in a little Big Brother and voila! You've got yourself the worlds largest seriving of "oh crap."
I agree. The LocationFree program is nothing more that the television dinosaurs trying to keep us in line. I gave up on televsion when G4 took over TechTV. Televsion is dead to me. This is just another instance of the flaw of technological convergence. I buy a Cell Phone to place and recieve calls. I don't buy it because it can play video or music. I buy the PSP to play games, movies, music, and browse the internet and some files. I did not buy it to watch televison. When people can let go of television and mainstream radio is when they can think for themselves and stop merging television into every device.
I've had my PSP for about a couple months now. I like like the interface and the fact that there is a large library of movies avaiable that I can watch on my PSP. I wish I could go down to Hollywood Video and rent some of the movies in PSP format. I also like the web browser feature despite the fact that everything is in one font. However, I have no need for LocationFree Television. Not when there are other things that PSP users want such as a PDF reader for reading PDF files or a Flash file plug-in for playing games and watching animations on Newgrounds.com. Or perhaps the one thing ex-Clie users want: Time management software.
Yet another attempt of Microsoft to screw over the Nigerian school kids which they've allegedly helped over the past decade. If you recall earlier this year, M$ said they would gladly give away computers to Nigerian school children if they paid for the version of the Windows operating system that was loaded. Now if some of the students are fortunate enought to pay for the operating system, M$ comes back and wants to tell them that there is no open-source alternative that is less expensive.
I suppose the next step for Microsoft is to start marketing it's own brand of "Vichy water".

Having someone hack the X-box is like shooting fish in a barrell. Mean while, little Rory Gates gets his butt kicked in kindergarden...again.
Good news, Microsoft nolonger owns MSNBC. The bad news, It still won't save NBC from sucking.

Well, that's down right stupid.
Why don't you tell the IT department to shut down port 80? I bet the boss would really like that?

When will these guys understand that no means no?
What is black and white and stomps greedy record excutives with steel-toed cleats when ever you piss him or her off?
A record-excutive-stomping pengiun.
What? I never said it was going to be funny.
Yeah, virus protection is great and all, but I seriously don't care.
When do we start seeing GCalendar, GTodo, and GNotepad?

Probably to get injected with nanoprobes.

True. Especially when they can use Eric S. Raymond's libungif and still charge $300 for the PSP.
So exactly how much money is Eric getting from PSP sales?
