If you've got a printer that can continuously print a gigabyte of data per second for extended periods of time, I'd love to see the paper handling system that it uses! How many full time employees are required to just feed paper into and carry paper out of the machine?
Actually, medical imaging is another application that does demand ridiculous bandwidth, but I wouldn't exactly call that "printing".
Is he a Republican... Who vote against gay marriage yet cheat on their wives while they are dying of cancer? You appear confused. The guy who cheated on his wife when she had terminal cancer was a Democrat (John Edwards). The most vocal gay rights opponents who are secretly gay themselves are all Republican. Both Repubs and Demos are prolific philanderers. The Repubs are just a lot more hypocritical about it. Some so strongly believe in the sanctity of marriage that they have successfully completed 5 or 6 marriages! And yet they profess the belief that gay marriage is a bigger threat to the institution of marriage than egocentric douchebags that can't keep their zippers closed. Please, get your political stereotypes right!
Your printer can't print fast enough to keep up with WiFi, let alone Ethernet. The only application this cable makes sense for is the one they demoed on it -- HD video streaming. Think camera-to-computer or computer-to-project links. Now, if we just had a memory system fast enough to store and retrieve data at 10Gbits, we'd be all set!
Yes, this is a very nerd-centric view of the world, although it is a fun game to play. Do you think doctors feel that Hollywood accurately portrays medicine? Do you think law enforcement officers think that Hollywood correctly portrays cops? Do you think the attractiveness of actors accurately portrays a random cross section of the population? Do you think prostitutes in real life are really supermodel beautiful, intelligent, and with hearts of gold? I think if you look closely enough at how ANYTHING is portrayed in movies, you'll find lots of things that someone intimately familiar with that area would find unrealistic. Part of this in intentional -- movies are a visual medium, therefore visual effects are deliberately made unrealistic for visual impact. For example, do you believe people getting hit with bullets really get knocked of there feet and carried several feet backwards by the impact of the bullet? By simple physics, the force of the bullet would have to have the same impact on the shooter, who is depicted as calmly shooting away with one hand and no kickback at all! It's called "artistic license", and it makes watching movies more fun... give it a rest.
In all the cases where I "cracked" a password, I simply opened up the employee's desk drawer and read the password off of a post-it note. Got it on the first guess! (Hmm... I currently have a post-it stuck to my monitor with a username/password on it, but at least it's not MY username/password.)
Has anybody every been to a McDonald's playground that didn't have a pervasive odor of urine? Safe from falling and getting hurt, maybe. Safe from infectious diseases, definitely not!
When I was in school (in Alaska), the entire playground was covered in snow! Parkas and 3 foot deep snow make for great Rugby games! After school, we used to climb trees and jump off into snow. This became a problem once as a broken branch hidden under the snow penetrated my boot when I landed, but fortunately didn't do much damage to me.
They are still around, I've seen them on plenty of playgrounds in Oregon. I use them to demonstrate the principle of conservation of angular momentum, by organizing groups of kids to lean as far out as they can while I push as fast as I can to get it going, then see how it speeds up as everybody moves to the center, and slows back down again when everybody moves back to the outside. It's not just fun, it's Physics! (And yes, I was fully aware that some of the really young children (e.g. 4 year old) participating in this experiment might have gotten hurt. But I didn't care.)
Right, and Al Capone never told anybody to kill people, he just told his lieutenants to "make this problem go away", and they did... permanently. I'm sorry, but you SHOULD be held responsible for the methods used by the people you are paying generously to gather information. Did the HP officers really think there was a perfectly legal way to get other people's confidential phone records from the phone company without their consent? I realize they get paid enough to afford really good drugs, but that disconnection from reality strains credibility.
Welcome to adulthood! I've found it helps to have children -- then you've got an excuse to buy and play games, at least for a few years until they become responsible adults themselves. Honest, I only the play the games to I can explain to my daughter how to do things when she gets stuck! Unfortunately, I frequently have to kick her off the computer for hours at a time while I research the games for her...
Talking to a tree and hearing a response is crazy. What if you throw a rock at a tree, and then hear it go "ouch!"? Is that crazy, or just the government surveillance people getting really creative with their disguises?
Yes... Buddhism has a lower incidence of sexual abuse because if monks suddenly feel the urge to be sexually active, they are allowed to leave the monastery, marry, have kids, and come back later when their child-rearing responsibilities are finished.
Remember: If you get an abortion, you've only committed a single sin, and you only have to do confession and penance once. However, if you use birth control, you are committing a sin EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU USE IT!
The Church is built on the concept of forgiveness. So, if someone says "Sure, I buggered a few dozen altar boys, but I have confessed my sins, repented, done penance, and I promise I'll never do it again,", you forgive them... and allow them to continue working unsupervised with small children, preferably in a far away Parish where nobody knows their reputation for being "just a little too interested" in young children.
Forgiveness is one thing, and not every accusation is factual. But once accused, I would never let any of those bastards within 100 miles of anyone under the age of consent for the rest of their lives. The mistake they made is believing that someone that feels guilty and show contrition won't go out and do the exact same thing again.
But, if they allow priests to marry, then then ones that don't marry will be suspected of being, uh... a little light in the loafers. The Catholic church has always been an outlet that provides a socially acceptable lifestyle for those that just can't stomach the thought of sex with the opposite sex. As such, I believe homosexuals have always been overrepresented in the celibate castes.
Unfortunately, since the minimum age to sign up for Facebook is 13, it is not very useful for recruiting altar boys. Sometimes the traditional ways work best...

I thought that was Lindsey Graham's nick name!

Great news for Lightfleet Corporation. They are now officially completely obsolete.
Hollywood computers obviously only use a user interface designed by Wiley Coyote.

The application of this technology to easily available low-res free porn alone would be awesome!

To which the OpenBSD people emphatically replied, "We are NOT monkeys!"

In defiance of spelling nazis everywhere, I propose the next release be named "kneeling gnu".
But, I though nymphs _were_ underwater invertebrates!
I thought for sure they were going to name it "Masturbating Monkey"!

Perhaps the software was originally written in Java, which subscribes to the philosophy that "We don't need no stinkin' unsigned numbers!"

Now, bring on the pedophile priest jokes!
