well, then i'm screwed. perhaps it's time to start an "underground railroad" to help get us all out of the US and into a safe haven of some sort... maybe sweden.
Or perhaps Sealand?
Soooo, is my wooden house (with its wooden floors, furniture, etc..) rotted or burned? I'm pretty sure it's not rotted (uhh, I hope) and I know it's not burned.
Or is my understanding of what biomass is, incorrect?
"We really do have a society which is premised both on state secrecy and the state not giving up its supposed right to keep information under control while, at the same time, wanting to know as much as it can about us."
It's not often that the most excellent quote from the article is included in the/. summary of said article.
"Is there any chance that this could be used in court cases to challenge polygraph test results?"
Hmmmmm, being that the linked article is to www.antipolygraph.org, there might, just maybe, be a chance that they're all over that very possibility...:-)
"Well, look at it this way, yours was one of only three posts on/. that the Woz found necessary to reply to. So that's got to find a place in your resume somewhere."
Upon further reflection, it probably would have been way cooler if you had posted something non-insulting and Woz had replied with, "Hmmm, that's extremely interesting. Would you mind if I sent my private jet to pick you up and bring you to the villa so that we can discuss your ideas in more depth?" instead of "you are teh suck" and Woz replying, "no I'm not".:-)
"Just my luck. The one time I falsely accuse a towering figure of 20th century technology of using drugs, he's actually reading my comments."
Oh my, this was hilarious! It took me a minute to actually convince myself that it really was the Woz. Well, look at it this way, yours was one of only three posts on/. that the Woz found necessary to reply to. So that's got to find a place in your resume somewhere.
"Is there nowhere that I can turn where I can safely slander people?"
"Have you ever looked at North Korea using Google maps nighttime [gatech.edu]? North Korea is the black patch to the left of Japan. It is more amusing if you switch to "Dusk Map" as you can clearly see that the lack of lights match exactly with the boarders of South Korea and China."
We simply can not understand the drive and dedication of the North Koreans. They aren't 'in the dark'. They're training their night vision to be vastly superior to their enemies (everyone). Too bad they don't have an internet connection or they could have found out about night-vision goggles and saved many a stubbed toe.:-(
"...the only conclusion would be that illelgal XP installs were replaced with purchased versions of Vista. Just one possible outcome."
An interesting idea, but one that will never happen.
Speaking for myself, the only, umm, non-legit versions of Windows I have are on boxen that I don't really care about (a dedicated PC to run security cam software, my 4 year old's PC, and a couple of others). Even if Vista turns out not to be the train wreck it appears to be, it simply isn't worth the money to make those PCs all legal-like. Not to mention the fact that they are nowhere near capable of meeting the minimum hardware requirements for Vista. I will, instead, continue to run WinXP and finally invest some time into setting up Linux on them.
I very much doubt that there's an appreciable percentage of users running a pirated version of Windows as their only or primary computer. But you know what? If Microsoft were to revise their pricing and licensing structure (perhaps something like Apple's Family Pack), I *might* actually consider Vista and being 100% 'Genuine'. But as the cheapest, most-crippled version of Vista is rumored to be over $200 and historically MS seems determined to piss off their base users, I very much doubt that'll ever happen.:-(
I don't know what's sadder - that the GP/Parent so blatantly fakes a reply to his own post (#16451281) or that his ploy actually works and he gets modded up.
I did like the way the poster's poor grammar is consistent in both posts though...(read the following in 'HULK SMASH' voice)

'stipulate'? Perhaps, did you mean, 'capitulate'?
And for those (like me) too lazy to actually Google for it... JKRowling.com

Okay, thanks for the info/link. Don't know why I didn't Google that myself.

BTW, WTF is a 'London Oyster Card'?!
Perhaps, but they just may be planning on an Article 20...
Hmmmmm, being that the linked article is to www.antipolygraph.org, there might, just maybe, be a chance that they're all over that very possibility... :-)
Yup, this tagging system is working out quite nicely...
Geez, on my 50x100' lot, that wouldn't leave a terrible amount of space at all.... :-(
Kudos for the obscure Blade Runner reference!!
They already do, it doesn't matter. :-(
I was going to RTFA, but, you know, what's the use? It's not going to change anything. Sigh....
Great idea! Let anyone who is against this disease being named after Dilbert, speak up now!! Oh...

I'd love to see this forever immortalized as a legal judgement in caselaw as "JACK THOMPSON PWNED!!"

digg...
For OSS Mac stuff, a good guide is OpenSourceMac.

Actually, they're just trying to be faithful to the game (online version at least). They have just performed the ultimate TK (Team Kill)...

Thanks! It's nice to have popular support even when the Academy forsakes me...
