BTW, these guys suing SpamCom is like Michael Jackson suing a child he has been molesting (note that this in no way reflects his guilt or innocence in the current trial and is simply included as humorous content).
Wow, and the first thought that came into my head after reading that exact same line was that the chances of Linux overtaking Windows within three years were about the same as me waking up tomorrow and having monkeys flying out of my ass. I would really like to see the former happen but not the latter however:-)
Tune in every Tuesday and watch Darl as he tries to survive in the courts. Next season don't miss the "Darl Survivor II" premier episode where he gets strip searched prior to entering prison. Soon after he meets his new roomate Bubba, who introduces himself and then says, "I like your butt Darly boy".
Anyone have schematics for these guys, so we can start thinking of nifty new hacks for them even before they are deployed? Maybe a helper 'bot to help my carry my groceries into the house.
This reminds me of the people who visit the Trinity site down at White Sands and go home with their pockets full of radioactive sand. Evolution in action as they go sterile.
Learning more and more languages/technologies/protocols has merely resulted in a larger skill set on my resume, with pretty much the same level of experience, and no new interviews.
Learning to sell yourself is important. If prostitution isn't your thing, you can always learn how to make and sell crack.
There is also a published protocol (PDF link) for avoiding Martian bugs.
Sadly, at the rate we are preparing to actually send people to Mars and bringing them back, I am betting this won't be a problem for the current holder of the officer, or his next eight successors.
Tests have shown that the chips can be read with an accuracy rate of about 99%, better than the 85% typical with bar-code scanners.
snip The authority is trying to recoup that money through state and federal grants and by eliminating some of the 30 part-time, temporary workers that reroute lost bags.
Aww come on, it is just a few part-time jobs (probably jobs with high turnover that they won't need if the system works as promised) and it looks like it really increases the chance that your luggage won't get on a plane to Tahiti when you are going to Los Angeles. Must we just assume that RFID == Evil in every case??
It kept saying low cost, but no prices (or resellers) were mentioned, and the manufacturer decided that everyone had to have shockwave to view their website:-(
You really think that more than 3 out of 100 people use Linux?
Err, two different things there. For example, there are piles of Linux machines at the University. They are Linux only, but were probably bought with Microsoft licenses pre-installed. They are used by dozens of students/staff/faculty each day (at least the ones in the lab). Lets say a lab has 10 Linux machines in it, each used by 3-4 people each day. 0% run Microsoft, with a total of 30-40 Linux users each day. Different numbers eh?
And yes I need to get out more, are you offering sex?
Today, almost 94% of all PCs in the world run on Windows, while slightly more than 3%--mostly in creative industries and universities--use Apple's Macintosh system. Fewer than 3% use Linux.
Anyone know where these numbers came from? I really, really doubt that Linux on the desktop is that low, especially if you count dual boot systems. I could be wrong, but I am curious about how he came up with these numbers.
Slashdot Mirror
Well considering Canada is one of our few remaining allies, I expect y'all to be declared an Axis of Evil country any day now.
Which reminds me of a great bumpersticker I saw the other day:
"Re-elect Gore in 2004"
You do realize he only pretended to be a klingon on TV/in the movies right???

I am sure the RIAA will be pleased when people in general start measuring bandwidth in "DVDs per second" units of measurement.
Outsourcing these jobs should fix all these problems.
Luckily the Irish were given a chance to vote on this issue, with 543,490,234 against and only 38 for electronic voting.

Just when my sight was coming back, you remind me of goatse and I go blind again. Gee thanks alot.

Or surf pr0n sites, hey this way congresscritters can surf safely outside the firewall during lunch hour!
Hordes of geeky types hanging around the Mall with their laptops trying to hack into Senator's and each other's PCs.

Ahh, you finally solved the problem! Let us look at this logically:
- No one has every discovered exactly where Santa's house is, therefore it must be well hidden.
- No one can find WMD in Iraq, therefore they must be well hidden.
- All of the WMD must be at Santa's house!
The Bush campaign thanks you for your insight, once this Santa terrorist is brought to justice, all will be made clear to the American public.

My money is on Count Dooku. If Microsith starts building a big round space station in orbit, we are all screwed!
That screaming sound you hear is SCOX stock breaking the sound barrier as it plunges into the abyss. Thank god, it is about time.

A very disturbing title for the perverted and undercaffinated among us this fine morning.
Drat, more and more people every day are becoming immune to my sarcasmic powers......
