Wonder #1: I say NOAA could save themselves alot of money if they bought a better webcam. Any webcam has a thermal bountry of -40 to 120F, but it gets COLD at the North Pole, like -60F cold. What happens when it gets below -40F? That's alot of data that NOAA is missing out on. They need to place a call down to NASA to see if they have any spare Mars Rover parts. Secondly, why waste money on letting the camera drown each year? Strap a floation device to it.
Wonder #6: OQO is not so great. It has a very short battery life, possibly due to the Operating System it uses *cough*Vista*cough*. What OS would use the least amnout of power?
If you refuse to kneel, you shall perish by the hand of Ursula or Non. I must warn you, very few individuals survive Ursula "attacks". As for Non, well he may have been to prison but he still doesn't swing that way. So he'll swing you into the upper atmosphere instead.
Clone a dead parrot?! That sounds like mad science to me! How dare you suggest that we clone a dead parrot! Just kidding. This site is full of mad scientists just waiting to clone a dead parrot. Just let me put this dead parrot in this cage.
Cue the Six Million Dollar Man intro! **Setting the Parrot int the Catapult.** **Engages the cataput with the dead parrot flying away** DUN-NANANANANANANA Done! See I told you we could make him better! Look at him fly!
The Internet is not a big truck. It is a series of tubes.
When those tubes get clogged with pornography or misuse of government funds, those tubes get clogged.
When those tubes get clogged, The Plumbers (The FBI) begins to notice.
When those tubes get clogged with government pork, the bring in the plungers (The IRS).
But when the pumbers use the plungers to clear the pipes, they don't unclcg the problem.
The plumbers use the wooden handle of the plungers and stick it where the sun don't shine on Mr. Stevens.
Bad: Fox News has mediocre web security.
Worse: The same level of security that can be easily beefed up was applied to all the MyFox websites.
STUPID: News Reporter from Los Angeles pisses off the hacker community with a bias report by interviewing cowards with dogs and curtains, losers with MySpace accounts, and Eric "eBaum" Bauman in a dark room.
ORWELLIAN: MyFox now requires a 24 hour waiting period for blog and message board posts.
Silver lining: There is always the Usenet.
If this is Phil Shuman's way of getting a job at Fox News, then he should be fired.
Apparently, Shuman didn't do his homework on the people that he interviewed or who he was writing about nor did he understand the volatility of how "anonymous" would react to suck hateful bias.
Leave it to a Republican News Anchor to once again put egg on his face and the company that he keeps.
The October Terror Threat against NFL teams was yet another example of the fearmongering, as it was linked to a Wisconsin grocery cleark. The petty behavior of one news reporter from last year stated "Fortunately the Ravens aren't playing this week." Heaven forbid something terrible happen to Ray Lewis DURING A BYE-WEEK!
This news story has gone completely out of control.
"Shuman has kicked the beehive and now the bees are swarming all over the place.
If you want to get honey from bees, don't kick the beehive." --Anonymous
Meanwhile, back in the REAL world, where there are REAL threats, other REAL government agencies that are in charge of REAL solutions for REAL problems, have had to cut back.
I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.
For the same reason, that is why my own website has a black background and why the color scheme on my computer has a black/dark-grey background.

All we have to do is just show up and we immediately strike fear into the hearts of the most masculine men. What? You don't believe us? Ship, come in. We've had enough of these privitive cavemen." *flips the bird*
There are certain things you never do in this world. Hold lit firecracker in your hand. Knock over a beehive. Watch news stories about celebrities who do things to be Media Attention Whores (MAWs).
But if there is anything that you never EVER do if you want to live, it is f*ck with a nerd's computer. If you f*ck with a NASA nerd's computer, you are dead where you stand.
Whoever this person is who has attempted to tamper with so much as a peice of recording equipment has attempted to tamper with an international construction project, possibly in an effort en expand the authoritative powers of the first world nations who are playing Chicken Little and shouting "The terrorists are coming. The sky is falling. Everybody panic!"
By compromising NASA's security, they have infringed upon the freedoms that they claim outsiders are taking from up when it is the people from within who can't keep their hands off of things they know they shouldn't be messing with.
NASA has had its share of scandels over the past year that are far more trivial compared to breaking into a laboratory owned by one of the most reviered organizations on the planet.
Even the sleeping giant gets bit on the hand by it's own dog. This dog has teeth, and tommarrow we will use them.
In the not too distant future
Somewhere in cyberspace
Mike Nelson and his robot pals
are caught in a nasty place
They have to survive the wrath of Bill
just an evil guy who wants to rule the world
From his castle in Redmond, he sets his sights above
Just to torture all the captives on the Website of Love GET ME DOWN!!!
"I'll send him cheesy movies,
The worst I can find la-la-la.
He'll have to sit and watch them all,
And I'll monitor his mind la-la-la."
Now keep in mind Mike can't control
Where the movies begin or end la-la-la
He'll try to keep his sanity
With the help of his robot friends.
Robot Roll Call:
Cambot! "You're on!"
Gypsy! "Oh, my stars!"
Tom Servo! "Check me out!"
Crooooooow! "I'm different!"
If you're wondering how he eats and breathes

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show,
I should really just relax..."

We are ever so quick to dismiss these people as poor, deprived, and willing to die for their religion. Just to remind everyone, many of the IMPROVISED Explosive Devices are not dentinated by sucide bombers but by remote control. Even something as simple as a cellular telephone can be used as the trigger or given a degree in Electrical Engineering, act as a remote control. Maxo is right. They could easily be jammed, much like a person who interfers with a HAM Radio broadcast without a license.
Most of the IEDs that are made are made from junk found on the battle field. What the goverment just did was give them a whole bunch of toy planes for them to play with, crash, and explode.
In laymans terms, think of the episode of Cowboy Bebop where Edward hacks into the flying police car and crashes it. Kaboom!
Which would you rather prefere: Working upstairs with the sunlight and the computer terminals (CS), or down in the "dungeon" basement under florecent lights in a dark basement with a computer that emit way too much heat (IT)?

Perhaps you prefer the Smilies from SmileyCentral.com. (SAY SOMETHING!)
On the other hand those are annoying.

(.)(.) Look! We brought a stripper that pops out of the cake! LOL!
It would have been poetic justice if he performed "Head Like A Hole" after that speech.
1. Is is C++0x ready?
2. Does it work with FreeGLUT or MESA for OpenGL support?
3. Can it make ice cream?

Let his mother assign him a whole bunch of needless and rather stupid chores like clearing out a beehive.

Done! See I told you we could make him better! Look at him fly!
Sorry, we got no cheddar today.
Pining for the FJORDS?! What kind of talk is that? Look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got him home?
Don't you know I'm loco. --Wikipedia.

If you are going to use something that looks similar to Ask.com, why not use it?
