are created, waiting to be created, dormant, obsolete, or still running amok, they only run on one platform:
Windows.
There's food for thought.
I think this is more like junk food for thought (say, like cotton candy): not much substance, and if it is all you ever eat, your brain will starve. The only reason we see swarms of worms on windows is it is the number one used platform of home users who download stuff willy-nilly, as well as read their email using outlook.
You would think that people would figure out you can't copyprotect music because at some point it has to be audible for people to hear it. Short of installing DRM chips in every human, or every player device made by anyone on the planet (not counting the ones out there already that don't have them) this is a hopeless goal. Personally I wish the various artists would form their own non-profit record company and tell the leaches to screw off, and then they could distribute their music as they see fit. If you think you can only make money by selling your albums, you missed the segment on 60 minutes last night on the Grateful Dead.
As far as the ring goes, from what I can gather from the previews it looks like Sauron believes there is a hobbit with the ring, and he later mistakes Pippen or Merry for that hobbit (I will have to watch the teaser again tho). Anyway it looks to me like he is on his way to Minis Tirith anyway, and now he thinks the ring is there too....
Am I the only one who just uses plain ol' fvwm anymore? Since 60% of what I do is typing in a window, with another 30% surfing and 10% doing wordprocessing/gimping:-) do I really need a huge bloated eye-popping-candy-filled window manager?
Don't get me wrong, if you have fast hardware and are trying to convert grandma from "some other environment" go for it, but for me personally I will take lean, mean, and quick any day of the week.
From the ebay listing: This offered mission will include, but will not be limited to:
* Mission Design
* Satellite Design
* Satellite Construction
* Satellite Testing
* Payload integration into satellite
* Satellite integration into launch vehicle
* Launch of satellite
* Command and control of satellite
* De-orbiting of satellite
I get to pick the payload, but do I also get to pick where it will land? Redmond, here I come!!!!
Thats ok, the chances of someone wanting to thaw them out in the future seem pretty small. More than likely they will be harvested for parts after some nasty DNA altering plague, or turned into Soylent Green.
I remember watching some poor slob in a Chuckie Cheese costume get swarmed by a horde of anklebiters. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to wear a hot-smells-like-pizza-with-no-visibility rat costume as little tykes randomly ram you in the crotch as they mill about and cling to your legs. After the poor slob had been hammered back against the stage for about 10 minutes, one of the other characters appeared and said, "Time for Chuckie to go kids!" He finally managed to pull enough kids off of poor Chuckie, allowing him to flail backwards out of sight behind the stage curtain. I wonder if they offer free counselling to the wearers of the Chuckie Cheese costumes?
This was kind of the theory I had, but I do still have one question (maybe I missed something) but why did agent Smith say the Oracle was his mother (right before he assimilated her, she said something like, "you son-of-a-bitch" and he said, "you would know Mother".) Was she responsible for creating agent Smith (would make sense, since she said she tries to "unbalance" the equations, while the Architect tries to "balance" the equations.)? Also, from the first movie when agent Smith is interogating Morpheus he states he wants to escape the matrix (literally? or figuratively?) I got the impression his job would be done and he would cease to exist (he would be free) if Zion was destroyed, which was why he wanted the access codes. At some point I will have to go back and review a few scenes (especially the one in the second movie with the Architect) and see if anything is more clear.
Is the address it redirects to hardcoded, or can the router get hacked and a new address put in? Now that would be good PR for Belkin, someone hacks the router and redirects all web traffic to some porn site.
I wonder how much prison time you get for stealing a million dollars worth of merchandise??? Seriously though, I wonder if the RIAA has charged or could charge people based on X amount per mp3 found on a particular computer?
... wretched little (introduced) animal called the cane toad. If a virus like this could be engineered such that it would kill them all out, I'd say it's not such a bad thing.
Actually, the reason you have cane toads in the first place is they were introduced to combat the cane grub. In the end however they seem to be great for killing just about everything except the cane grub. The moral of the story? While we may have good intentions when introducing something new to an environment to control a pest, we may also be introducing new, even worse problems unintentionally. Are you sure you would want a man-made virus that is capable of wiping out an entire species introduced into your country?
Exactly, most printer companies, especially in the low end area, depend on making $$$ off of people when they buy their uber-expensive cartridges. Personally I would like to see a company make an easy-to-refill inkjet cartridge and sell me the ink at a reasonable rate, and would be willing to spend more on the printer (though again, they make less in the long run).
The explosion sent over 2 billion tons of material hurtling across the solar system toward Earth.
Am I the only one worried that this sounds like one big pile of something that could whack into Earth? Or is it just a bazillion tiny particles that add up to 2 billion tons?
But you know what keeps me up at night? Our bodies are made up of matter that came from dying stars, how many stars had to die to make each one of us???

And thus the Matrix is born....
heck I don't even have a first life, wouldn't I need that first???

Yes but what about the critics of the critics of the critics? Three cheers for article titles that turn your brain inside out!

Swap where you put both those items, eat a can of beans, and then you will have something worth paying to see/hear!

The collective DUH from the slashdot crowd sounded just like the Taos hum, only louder.
They need to have a pre-contest, something akin to Robot Wars. I mean, it is the Defense Department after all.

May a thousand nanobots attack the cells of anyone posting a "welcome our new nanobot overlord" post.
By the way, there is a great documentary on the Cane Toad called "Cane Toads, an Unnatural History" a film by Mark Lewis. Amusing and informative :-)
Actually, the reason you have cane toads in the first place is they were introduced to combat the cane grub. In the end however they seem to be great for killing just about everything except the cane grub. The moral of the story?

if there are no new sex toys or no new ways for viewing porn listed?
Or at the very least, a very spectacular entry as a future Darwin Award.

It is good to know that a fictitious ship designed to operate in a vacuum in a fictitious universe can handle mach 5 winds..... no really it is.
But you know what keeps me up at night? Our bodies are made up of matter that came from dying stars, how many stars had to die to make each one of us???
