Yeah, but you can sell that Kia Rio back for about 95% of the purchase price, AND you don't get charged for the extra days. Sounds great to me...kinda like a week-long "try before you buy" thing.
It sharpens the pitch. i.e., the poorer organisms will be more frail, and the better will be more strong. This improves the likelihood that a good organism will "win" over some poorer one. If they were too alike, more of the many small yet beneficial mutations would be lost in the noise.
Well, if Clippy was actually attractive to the childrens, the law thing might work... As is, I've seen small children running from the computers at the library in TERROR, just from the 'Tap-Tap-Beeroioioingggg!' sound that Clippy makes.
You mutter about gay robot sex in your sleep? Hmm...
Then again, if a robot can feel lust in the classical sense, one would assume it would have a standard of attractiveness, possibly including more metal than most humans.
A corporation will be able to cut out all the fat and wasteful spending the government puts in the program, then replace it with their own fat and wasteful spending. Besides, we already have corporations that do nothing but keep other peoples' money: are you familiar with 'banks'?
No, I think that angle would invalidate the Snopes article...examine the front page for excrement, and it seems like there just might be infinite monkeys.
IF you happen to have three good-quality VCRs, there's no reason you can't make two copies of your tape to pass on...tapes may only last through so many playbacks, but the beauty of exponential growth is that each player contributes only a little.
Umm, actually...the summary states he got back into his truck, but it was actually a company-owned snowplow. The GPS was placed by the company that owned it. Summary should read: "Idiot flasher gets caught by cops, and oh by the way they used a GPS tracker, which is legal."
Ya know what's funny? Before you said "no, not literally" I hadn't even thought of Linus sitting in an office chair with a wicked gleam in his eyes as he holds a zippo to the brain sitting on the desk in front of him.
A question for you, Mr. Marthisdil: Do you know of an exploit for any *nix system that gives an attacker full root permissions, simply by browsing to a web page?
Communism is basically, everyone works for the common good, and none are considered arbitrarily better than any other. Unfortunately, every government(so far) which espouses communism betrays these two principles almost as soon as it forms. For a true communist society to work, you can't have any crooks. Everyone must be mindlessly moral, to the point where(for instance) they could have a common bank account, and nobody would even think of taking out $60k to get a nicer car for themselves. Theoretically, your communist society can be of any size. However, the larger it grows, the more crooks will sneak in, who will exploit the honest people and function as leeches, disrupting the system.
Slashdot Mirror
Isn't this like putting a fox in charge of the security for a henhouse?
No, it's more like putting Bill Clinton in charge of a whorehouse.
And there'll only be one button on the remote.

What really happened:
A long time ago, Giardia developed a primitive form of Slashdot. This effectively ended sex as a viable means of reproduction.

Hmm...I thought we already had uncertainty for processors.
I'm thinking of original-revision Pentiums.

I ask ya, what kinda "perfect" program does that?!

Even if the 'net gets completely controlled, there will always be the odd anarchy-loving corners.
i.e. Usenet, just for one. There is no larger hive of anarchy than Usenet, anywhere.
Many sweatshops include terms where the employee cannot leave or they will not recieve their wages.
Wait...if I quit...I stop getting a paycheck?
Call the cops!!!
Well fine, fourty-seven dollars is still a lot to outlay for course in spam.

Huh. And all this time I didn't think tr had a real purpose. ;)
Now I know better: it's to ruin the fidelity of music!
Ahh, would that be a benefit in the same way consumers benefit from having a converged operating systems market?
It's in hexadecimal.

But Netcraft already confirmed it, VCRs are dead.
The greys did.
Or maybe engineered it themselves. Does that count?

I suppose you mean this?
That's already fixed, thus proving GP's point.
Stop running as root? Hah! My root shell is /bin/false.

One for all, and all for one!
