    He must have limited his viewing to sexy stripteases and Colbert. Tay Zonday would've scarr'd him so much we would've stayed colonies.

    Personally, I refuse to call it an Android framework until someone makes a real-life Cutie Honey with it.

    Of course, once I have a prototype of that, I'll enjoy her so much I may never visit a website again, and vertainly not to debate silly things like framework names.

  4. Re:Site-specifc Q&A, in CAPTCHA form, might wo on Now Google's CAPTCHA Is Broken · · Score: 1

    The key is to ask something that can only be answered if you're on the site. For example: "Next to the Slashdot logo at the top-left of the page, there is a five-word phrase. What is the second word in that phrase?"

    That one's easy, just copy the floppy and write the word on the duplicate.

    The next wii is $100 and you control it with your butt.

    I think they've got at least half of that covered (or uncovered, from some perspectives).

    Of course penguins can hover. They can even melt Northern ice at will to terrorize polar bears for fun. The yoga classes are pretty helpful.

  17. Re:This is going to end badly on McCain Campaign Offers Rewards For Turn-Key Comments · · Score: 1

    Are the bulk of McCain supporters intelligent and informed enough to make an actual contribution to a political discussion without help? Apparently, John McCain doesn't think so. This is tantamount to telling his supporters "You are too stupid to discuss my campaign without help."

    I strongly agree. I decided to check a few of both major's video pages. Whereas the summaries of Obama's videos are largely demure "At $event_type in $place, Obama discusses $blah and proposes $widget" things, McCain's are mostly "Receive the latest official YouTube videos from the McCain campaign! Watch this video and click 'Subscribe' just above the box where this message is displayed on the video's page. John McCain for President: $url", with the occasional "and tell 10 of your friends to join you in subscribing!" thrown in.

    I would understand if the McCain videos were from some zealous fan who was begging for subscriptions so he could show them to whoever was dumb enough to marvel at the large number on his profile at the local bar. Alas, it's just McCain's official YouTube account.

    I might've just dismissed it as a case of Totally Radical*, but combined with massive flip-flops from his former, decent positions, it seems more like a big "fuck you" blended with a "you're an idiot" to any American who supports freedom. I don't like many of the things that all of the talked-about candidates have done, but (unless he's doing this to attract enough dumb Americans to pleasantly fucking shock us by ending the Iraq War, respecting the Constitution and reprocessing all of our nukes into sprinkled vanilla ice cream cones or whatever), there's no reason I could trust--much less vote for--John McCain.

    *I'm not sure how I first found TV Tropes like a year ago; probably during my usual quest for Cutie Honey*ahem*information...but I wildly digress.

    Don't worry. The mainstream media will find some way to ignore his silly rant, and it'll just get noticed on Reuters or something.

  20. Re:Need one today on Workings of Ancient Calculating Device Deciphered · · Score: 1

    Jokes aside (your "Whoosh" keys shall faze me not), they probably meant the paper publish date (unless they publish every hour or somesuch--and given that they've reduced the size of the newspaper to save money and have complained about shrinking revenues before, that won't happen).

  21. Indeed, RTF uses TeX syntax. Save an RTF in WordPad and open it up in Notepad--those braces and "\tag"s are everywhere.
