Am I the only one who thought that the jedi master shown briefly in The Plotless Menace with the 6 foot long neck would be toast in any kind of lightsaber duel?
The possibilities abound for instant roadrage gratification. Cut me off? *SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT* Talking on the cell phone and weaving around in front of me? Here lemme bring your attention back to the road *SPLAT SPLAT SPLAT* Now if they only had a rear facing gun for tailgaters......
Just think of UNIX as trying to make up for its evil past by hosting such fine patent flaming sites as Slashdot.:-)
Besides, everyone already knows which OS is REALLY the evil one.

The question is not where do I want to go today, but where have all my credit card numbers, p0rn website passwords, and naked doggie sex pictures gone?
What possible reason would they have for allowing hordes of young credit cardless nonpaying folk to bog down their sites??? Though I don't know how well self rating would work (fine line between artistic nudity v.s. porn in some cases, and what would say a web site talking about contraception or abortion be rated as?) I could see some kind of "global" rating (much like the ratings we see at say, amazon.com or imdb.com for example). Tho more likely in that case what I see is some hacker type voting a few thousands times for the whitehouse.com site to rate it as a "great family site". Perhaps a central site like the bbb.org site that methodically culls through sites and assigns them a ratings (say like the ratings on TV, with various keywords assigned to each web site). Again we run into a problem, company A folds, and company B takes over the domain of company A and changes the content.....
I had an excellent chemistry teacher back in high school! He used to create huge gas filled bubbles in class and light em up, toss chunks of sodium and potassium into water, etc etc. I don't know how much chemistry I actually *learned* in class, but he certainly knew how to get our attention!
In 2016, as part of the new anti-terror bills flying through congress, every American must have a gps tracking device implanted "for security purposes".
Additionally it possesses a controlling mean, which is to after-pursue even largest polarization modifications, as they occur on very long transmission circuits contrary to competitive systems also, noly-break.
Once I figure out what a noly-break is, I should be able to build my very own high speed home network!
According to netcraft's September stats 36.53% of the.gov websites were running MS IIS and 31.92% were running Apache, go here for further details. Interestingly there don't appear to be stats for.gov sites prior to last month (it looks like they just started polling.gov sites perhaps? Only 3581 were polled). I wonder what those numbers will look like one year from now.
Since X-( is listed in the smiley guide as: User just died I nominate the new XP smiley to be listed as User just died of confusion (with tongue sticking out) after trying to figure out if Windows XP would run better on a machine with an Athlon XP CPU or a faster(?) Intel cpu (NOTE: Trademarks above are owned by respective companies blahblahblah)
And folks THAT is why we should switch to the metric system here in the U.S. The 129 kph sounds so much faster than 80 mph. (Plus just think of how popular the first gas station to start selling gasoline by the liter will be)
I just checked half.com and there seem to be several copies of this book there (I of course already ordered mine:-) ) It might be available on ebay as well.
Just think tho, if your computer is the one that finds the signal from ET, you not only get to be on every talk show (along with the SETI eggheads), but you will probably get your biography published, becoming an instant babe/stud magnet! Not to mention you will get an automatic entry to compete to see who gets to ride in the wormhole riding ball machine built from the plans that are undoubtedly being sent our way right now (not to mention patent rights to aforementioned machine). And all this for free FREE FREE (as long as you are running it on your office machine, since you don't pay for electricity there). And don't forget the screensaver (ohhhh, pretty blinking lights).

Don't sweat the petty stuff but do pet the sweaty stuff.
It should be interesting to see how this makes search results change for webcrawling spiders and such. When I search for Frito Lay, is it going to list a (possibly defunct) web page advertisement on Salon?
This would be fine, as long as they use the number as a unique identifier ONLY. Why anyone takes your SS#/bday as any form of ID is beyond me. A unique Id that was for ID PURPOSES ONLY would be really useful (i.e. like your name, but unique. Still have to PROVE you are who you say you are with something like a drivers license, smart card, etc). I have an unusual first name, but the bank I used to bank at had someone with the exact same name. Made for some interesting queries and such (until they used my SS#, but that seemed dumb to me. If I knew the SS# of the other guy with the same name, would they have let me draw funds out of his account??????) But personally I would rather just see em stamp a barcode tattoo on every newborn (wait a minute....)
If my neighbor just gave me 1024 free chickens
because he upgradeded to two oxen, and I didn't
like to eat chicken, perhaps getting them to
plow a field would be useful?
Umm, so if microsoft picks windows.microsoft,
then I can register yousuck.microsoft?:-)
I do kinda like your idea however, since it would
tend to keep the really good domains from
being sucked up, and would make the domains
alot more identifiable.
If you are in the business of making boards plus software, how much money are you making off of the drivers to drive the hardware? (My guess is pretty much nada). If the drivers are specific to your hardware, what can competitors gain from seeing the source the code that drives it? Also, keep in mind by releasing the code to the public you get to take advantage of the (hundreds/thousands) of folks in finding and fixing bugs (all free!!!!)
Still, if you are concerned that the code contains things you don't want to release (proprietary compression, encryption, or whatever) posting hardware specs (and possibly a barebones "driver" source code )would go a long way to having a useable version written for Linux (and others). And by all means, posting binary drivers would be nice as well:-)

Thankfully, I never go outside anymore, so until they get xray versions of these puppies I am safe.
Typing to them is ok however, i.e. Can you do that again, this time a little closer to the camera and with the sheep?
...upon reading the title, thought this was Bill Gate's newest autobiography?

Flame flame go away, post again some other day...
Any bets on which of the next versions will spew an error about "incompatible architecture" when used on non-Intel hardware?

Personally I keep hoping for more penguins in the OS space.
