Trying not to be a troll, I think american units are hilarious. 80 proof is ofc 40Â alcohol, everybody knows that. Dito with 1 foot being 12 inches and 3 feet being a yard. That Fahrenheit is based off the natural body temperature of humans, minus one, and when a guy in Denmark thinks it's freezing, is a lot less known. That you/they haven't gone off medieval units yet is a wonder of majestic proportions. Lobby this, please, not gay marriage and teenage abortions!
I scared the living crap out of my girlfriend with this once.
I was at a friends house and I knew she was home listening to music, so i used festival to tell her to "turn up the volume", adjusted the mixer, "turn up the volume", until she pretty much had it maxed. Then i maxed the mixer and let out a big "BAAAAAAH". She wasn't happy when i got home:/
There's a huge difference between reserving rights and what is enforcable. Try calling in the rights to *pronounce* a trademark, even though it explicitly says "ALL rights reserved". You can't force an EULA to be too specific. You must leave room for interpretation both in and out of court. This is just silly.
In Sweden, we rarely pay more than £0.05 GBP (US $0.10) for an SMS, I thought China would be WAY cheaper than that.
Also, I recently discovered that a phone call from Sweden to the United States, UK, Australia, Germany etc, is cheaper than a domestic phone call by a factor of two with my service provider. China is one of the few countries that are more expensive than local swedish calls. (Cuba is the only other country I know of)
Will all correlationisnotcausation fascists please shut up?
I mean, where do you draw the line? Somewhere science has to be science and even though there are valid cases where you would play the correlationisnotcausation card, you've got to stop somewhere, don't you think??
Unique only in that this could possibly be the worst, most unsatisfying non-news i've ever seen on/. Title says it all. Hilarity ensues. In Soviet Russia, accordion plays geek. Yoda not present in memory tech of the week is. WTF is wrong with you people?
When multi part telephony was introduced in my area, me and a friend had a lot of fun calling eachother up and introducing our voice mail as a third part in the conversation. We did this first from me, then from him, then from me, and so on, always recording an extra layer of 'normal conversation' onto the previous layer. After twenty or so times, our voice mails was filled with a huge crowd of 'us' having normal conversations. It was sickening to listen to.
Why am I not able to tag content as "Out of Site", so as to show that the code in this block is not written by me and could possibly be considered unsafe?
You shouldn't be surfing around where you could stumble upon content NSFW when you are at work anyways, why dedicate an entire attribute to you leisure-surfing nerds? Cool idea, but a bit narrow I'd think.

He's got a point. You need it? Build it.
I didn't know that, but metric is the way, anyway. By the way, I just stumbled on this related piece of "fact"

I'd like to take the time to provide a link to the Sheboygan police department!

How many of you guys have actually done this?
(and not the US since the Iraq war has sucked up all our money)
Yeah, let's get someone else to do it so the US can continue warring
I just got 10 CDs in the mail. Well, I guess they're fake.
I made a twister board for my friends to have fun on (*I didn't participate ofc).
I played a song by Nirvana on a friends guitar (which i didn't listen to ofc)-
I drew a cartoon depicting Microsoft's and Apple's war with "Mac vs PC".
I made a pixel perfect version of Super Mario Bros - World 1-1 in plastic beads. (oh, I really did that)
I'm pretty sure this all will be considered illegal practices shortly. (just before the awaited apocalypse, go figure)

Is that an 8 bit NES i see at the third picture from the top?
Oh, that's Alastair Reynolds. Bummer. (sometimes I need two mandatory previews and a triple captcha to get it right)
I was hoping for a Hades neutron star as in Andrew Reynolds' Revelation Space. THAT could be useful (if it were closer)
Could be called RAM Drive, but Computer Memory Lane is cool too

They could be said to be staging a Denial of Service attack against you. That would be illegal, wouldn't it?
Open Source contribution is about the most rewarding thing you can do, so of course dead time in between seems boring, what else is new?

The Ultimate Boot CD (a bit old now, is there a better alternative usable with a USB memory stick?)
anda Linux Live CD
Saccharin (Sweet'N Low)
Aspartame (Nutrasweet)
Sucralose (Splenda)
Honey (Bees)
Maple Sugar (Trees)
Sodium Chloride (Salt)
Bitter Sarcasm (CmdrTaco)
I'd go for the CmdrTaco option. But only after applying a sweet sugar coating on the device, letting him lick the tasty sticker off it.
And yes, I realise I will be branded a pervert after this post.
