You know what I find creepy...not so much what this guy did, but if you look at all the posts proclaiming "This guy is a felon, lock him up" it's almost ALL done by Anonymous Cowards. Makes me wonder who all is doing it. Might just be one guy posting over and over and over, or it could be some hired hands trying to make a statement.
Either way, I'd like to see a followup to this at some point stating what happens with the guy next:
"Does he really get arrested, or is he hired on by wireless network providers? Stay tuned to find out!"
And don't forget to sign up for the linear accelerator and uncontrolled combustion reaction courses. The classes will meet at the firing range and the local area blast pit, respectively.
So what if Fortran is ugly--all languages get uglier the less they are used and the more high-level languages are developed. I'm sure lots of people would look at assembly code and say it's ugly too. It's only a matter of time before our kids look at C++ code and say, "Boy, am I glad I didn't have to program like that!".
Kinda reminds me of "Back to the Future III" where Marty plays that shoot-em-up arcade game in front of kids, and all they can do is complain "You mean you have to use your hands. That's like a baby's toy."
I, for one, look forward to the day when I can think code and have it be done instead of writing it line-by-line.
Unless of course, you forget to recharge it or the battery runs out for some reason.
Actually, on second thought, that wouldn't be so bad. I mean, if you have to use your arms to move around, it seems to make a lot of sense to cart the weight of your body around on wheels.
If you really want a computer made out of Lego, and you don't mind taking a hit in processing power, I think Lego already makes a computer case--much nicer looking too, I might add...

Slashdot Mirror
Or more importantly to many sex-deprived slashdotters...will the animal be available to others after you're through with it?
welcome my new tank-driving, mini Mag-Lite toting, camera carrying overlords.
I dunno, but I'm glad you put a hit counter on the webpage. It allowed me to demonstrate the slashdot effect to my wife within under a minute.
They don't HAVE to put the G first, and that's not what the service would probably be used for. I think the more appropriate name would be PayGal

Trains? Not just train?
Whoa, he better than I thought....
And here I thought we already found Charlie back during 'nam. Someone should tell Lieutenant Dan about this...

Does this mean I can start to expect spam advertising that I can now get a non-accredited degree on how to spam others?
Either this is some kinda freaky pyramid scheme or I just entered the Twilight Zone...
Yeah, but I could just see it now...
"Since when was there a constellation of a well-hung squirrel?"
Limited time only, huh? 65 months...so...if I assume a 3% interest savings account, compounded monthly, I only have to pay $850,188,479.99
Let me know when to mail in my proof of purchase from the cereal box.
You're right, 65 months is too long. For comparison, that's almost 100 Canadian months!
While you're at it, double theck the units we're using, make sure no sensors are installed upside-down, and make sure all our rubber seals are tight.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it costs $22,000 per pound to launch something into space.
Well, if they want to shave another $10 million off that price tag, there's always SpaceX and the Falcon I.
Of course, they'll want to purchase the extended warranty with that one...
Tancred: I don't hear enough rips.
CmdrTaco: Tancred.
Tancred: CmdrTaco.
CmdrTaco: I'm sorry, I- I didn't know you were here.
Tancred: I am.
CmdrTaco: Ahh, so you are. Excuse me.
(CmdrTaco slowly logs off of Slashdot.)
Tancred: Keep ripping Slashdotters. This is a battle, a war. And the casualties could be your moderation points.

It looks like you're trying to sound like Strongbad. Would you like help
-being modded funny?
-making fun of Strong Sad?
-drafting a reply to the Homestarrunner cease-and-desist letter?

Mission Impossible II
Am I right?
From what I saw in a movie once, all he needs is a Bourne Identity, and he can get through any place he needs...embassies, customs, you name it.
Hmm...desk job, able to change his identity...does that sound like someone we know?
MR CUMMINGS IS MR INCREDIBLE!!!!
You may now all return from the edge of your seats.
Why sure, they had thousands of positive IDs...they just weren't his.
Well if we're going with arguments like that, I can think of several individuals whose flatulence are unfair competition for city gas lines...
