Kirk: Alright men, this is a dangerous mission. And its likely one us will be killed. The landing party will consist of myself, Mr Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Ensign Ricky.
The Cookie Monster, Vernor Vinge: This is an interesting and technically complex story. It's plausible and well-told, but it really lacks character development IMHO. Guess the competition was thin in the "novella" category or the tech talk swayed the fans.
Yeah, the main character would have been more deeply depicted had he not been busy saying, "COOOOOKIIEE!! MMNOMMNOMMMMNOMMN!" This is even more justification for Nabisco to host his next intervention.
Must be a completely different thing. The one I was thinking of was an MS-DOS program that says something like, "I think it's starting to rain" while playing a really loud thunder sound.
Those are truly valid points, but how often have we seen a particular band, literally "shoved down our throats" on commercial radio (Clear Channel, I'm looking at you).
Tell me about it. That was one expensive doctor bill.
Even when it involves mixing up numbers just the same as a string of characters, making it no different than dyslexia? No crappy calculations occured here to come up with this erroneous result, it was just a typo.
Offtopic, yes, but aren't you talking about that program that came with Media Vision Thunder Board cards? The volume slider was on the card itself and had a powered output. Damn, the thunder was loud the first time we ran that program.
I hate to not discuss the article, but is anyone else having problems getting the page to render correctly in IE 6? Right now, it looks like two narrow columns superimposed over each other. Must be an excercise to hypertasking by reading two articles at once.
this is already against the law...and a good way to get sued....and if your boss is going to fire you over who you vote for rather then your job performance then you will be looking for a new job soon anyway.
Who says your boss is going to be telling the truth as to the reason he/she fired you? And as for looking for a new job, I think we all know about that one now.
Oh, god, yes. Just what's better than one status bar stuck at 100%? How about approximately 20 of them in a row. Thank you, MS Office setup, for completely throwing the purpose of progress bars out the window!
Great, now the new international standard for learning the language is the "Cam Clarke Teaches Intermediate English" series of computer programs. Volumes consist of Far Cry, Doom 3, Grandia II, Curse of Monkey Island, and more. Pick yours up today!
The whole robot and zombie effect can't be entirely attributed to video games either. I'm pretty much the same way while driving a car on a busy street.

That sounds a lot like Super Stellar Trek for the Apple //. Perhaps there was a port for whatever system that service ran?

Who is "get" and why does caught belong to him?
At least this guy knows the difference between brackets and < > as well.
Wikipedia is not alone in this. here is another one you should avoid if you wish to seek accurate information.
"Hey, aren't you Richard's Simmons's best friend, Richard Simmons?"

"What the fuck is a Gungan?!"
As for the calendar app, it's a clone of Outlook's calendar page.
And before anybody bitches about Mozilla copying Microsoft in this regard, one needs only to take a look at Evolution.

Yeah, he apparently hasn't heard of Slashdot's variation of Godwin's Law. It should be on the addenda of the Wikipedia entry.
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving George W. Bush or Republicans approaches one.

It seems that most people are wholy ignorant of the most basic concepts of our government, and yet bitch about loosing freedoms.

Some of us are better at some things than others, I guess.

...that no upcoming movie becomes named "stdio.h" or we're all screwed.
This is the MPAA. We're going to have to ask you to cease and desist. It sounds too much like ID4.
The letter is available here that demands the removal of roughly 120K of open-source TCL code that they believe to be a 'copyrighted motion pictures.'
In other news, proof of life on Alpha Centauri was found on a Bazooka Joe bubble gum wrapper yesterday.
Yeah, makes just about as much sense as motion pictures in code.

This seems to be a similar state to that of having sex, or so I've read. Could anyone confirm that?
No, I believe none of us can confirm that for you. Sorry.
How else can you justify working for $-12 per month?
