Actually, an anagram of my real name became the nickname "Billion Worms" - so it's not a racist/bigot thing. I also know a guy nicknamed "Porn" because of his last name... which is Thai.
I knew a fellow named Narciso P. Leggs who made fun of his monicker.
...and the famous engineer Bill Lear (LearJet) who named his daughter Crystal Chanda Lear...
But I slightly digress...
>Is Microsoft shooting itself in the foot by making traditional 'approved product' licensing mandatory for 3rd-party developers? Or will companies line up by the dozens to tithe to King Bill? Finally, will Sony follow a similar strategy to eke additional revenues out of its PlayStation 3?"
Tune in tomorrow for another episode of "The Young and the Restless"
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Riiiiight... he just found out he was being keylogged, filed a complaint, and then randomly 'stopped working' there.

One of the inventors is named -
Thiti Wang-Aryattawanich
I'd just like to know his nickname, is all...
How many courses would I have to take to become a
Microsoft Certified HoneyMonkey
But I'm reminded of a childhood verse...
"The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout..."

>I don't think I ever saw them open the tube of their sub
Aha! Secret Monkey Pilot!
>a self-destruct code for Blu-ray disc players
That's waaaay over the line.
Not gonna buy it.
You think I'd let a mistake by some techie or program destroy a few hundred bucks of my hard-earned money?
I'm tired of people treating me like a thief, when I never pirate ANYTHING!
I've got lots of CDs and DVDs I already bought in the 80s and 90s, and I can always just walk along the street and whistle (or daydream).
Could you provide forms on your website for your academic users to submit the information directly?

Ah, Dang.
Actually my attitude was more one of sadness that Europe, despite the best historical reasons not to criminalize a group of people, is at it again.
Expressed in sarcasm.
The US (where I'm from) is no better.
>Will glamorizing science in the movies make kids pay better attention in chemistry class?
Not enough.
You want them to sit up in their seats, do what MY instructors did. Use dangerous chemicals.
*SNAP* "Oh God! Run, everybody run!"
Crowds of file-sharing enthusiasts herded into makeshift prison camps.
How nostalgic for Europe.
>but they can't kick you out for sticking to what your contract says.
No... they'll find some other reason shortly thereafter.
>I can accept vague just fine.
Ok... maybe it needed to be set on "Wumbo."
I wondered why my cat has been so tense lately...

Here's your chance to get employed at a place that can use your skills and can't outsource your job that easily.
I think the lazy thinkers are the ones who believe political philosophy can be distilled down to a one dimensional spectrum.
Like this one?
All politicians use "think of the children!" rhetoric, and it's always bogus.

Carl Sagan stopped writing in 1996

The real reason for MS's interest resides in a careful review of Dr. Sorkin's resume:
>CERTIFICATIONS
>Registered Patent Agent 28270.
The subject of software patents has again raised its ugly head.
>Mr. Work said he didn't have the jurisdiction to
>rule on whether or not the employee was
>dismissed as a result of his complaint.
>Ms. Silver confirmed the employee no longer
>works at the library but said his departure had
>nothing to do with the privacy complaint.
Riiiiight... he just found out he was being keylogged, filed a complaint, and then randomly 'stopped working' there.
>the B-52s were NEVER cool...
Au contraire!
I thought Ops Linebacker I & II were VERY cool!
Lots of new parking lots in Hanoi...
