What innocence? Miss de Meowner there is a powerful Mastermind. She and her minions know good and well what they are implying by standing in front of the hospital elevators and "offering a hot cup of tea" to any villains who nd up having to make the trip to the hospital.:). (Double Entendre for the win).
(And it did elicit a proper response once at least, when some guy came out of the elevator, came up to her, and did a nice smarmy golf clap for her.)
since i gave M$ advice, I'll tell Linux how to beat M$: make a app store. I know, stupidly obvious, but there isn't one built into ubuntu. Needs to be as simple as iTunes Store, and everything just needs to just work, no compiling code or anything crazy. Fill it with tons of free software and M$ product equivalents like OpenOffice.
In other words, a Web interface for apt that presents your distribution's repositories in a browsable and searchable store-type format. That actually sounds like a really good idea. Shame I don't have the programming skills needed to create something like this (my dreams of being a mighty computer programmer slowly fizzled out long ago...along with pretty much every other great ambition I ever had during my youth. Damn middle age apathy.)
Now now. My 8th Grade English teacher (back in 1981/82) has no say in the determination of what is and is not a moon. However, Mr. Morrison, my 8th Grade science teacher (and one of the absolute coolest teachers I ever had way back then) could be more of an authority in such matters.
customers are allowed to have standards and I have no idea why you would want to dissuade them from expecting better than they got. It's almost like you're arguing that people just plain shouldn't have higher standards of behavior and quality than corporations.
There, made a critical fix to your post for you. These consumers you mentioned in your unfixed post are not permitted to have standards above what those corporate folk in their infinite wisdom decree is best for them. Unlike consumers that those running big corporations prefer, informed customers do not simply and happily accept whatever gets tossed their way.

How in the hell can you trademark having a group of people quack?!?
You are forgetting that this is taking place here in the U.S., and here in the U.S., we the people are highly skilled at performing (and getting away with) amazing acts of stupidity with our imaginary property laws.
The Arch-Traitors(Judas, Brutus and Cassius) go in Beelzebub's mouth. Spammers, on the other hand, have already been through the mouth and are now located somewhere in the rectum. That's where true suffering is at.
Now that is truly cruel and unfair... No being should ever be forced to stomach something so vile as spammers in their depths forever and ever with no hope of any relief whatsoever.
100% market penetration for yet another first person shooter. A cutting edge first person shooter. On an OS whose users like to brag about how they are not constantly flushing away perfectly good money down the virtual crapper by not having to take part in the endless upgrade cycle.
I took the liberty of fixing some serious typos in your post.;)
Okay, people, I give up. Can someone please explain why the guy I responded to was funny and what the joke is?
I thought that overwriting everything with zeroes or ones and zeroes was a standard way to "sanitize" a drive, and that these forensic specialists often find data recovery a trivial matter even after doing such a wipe.
I've reread the guy's post several times and am still not seeing what caused the funny bit to be set. (Blame insufficient sleep for this perhaps?)
I would mod your post funny, had I not already posted in this discussion. After all, surely no one of any significant intelligence would seriously have a big meltdown over some random person in a forum saying anything negative about an old sci-fi flick.
And for the record, Clarke was my favorite of the "classic" sci-fi authors. I did read 2001 way back when I was perhaps 13 or 14 (I'm 41 now and closing in on the ultimate answer), and I really enjoyed the book back then. The movie was simply lacking and not up to my expectations. The SFX and musical score were great of course, but the implementation of the story just shows that some things just don't translate well from book to screen.
Guess I better not mention that I did enjoy 2010 when I first saw it a year or two later on the big screen. It was a double feature with Dune, and fortunately, it was the first feature (Dune was another big disappointment, and I fell asleep early on there).

Yes. Remember: your "principal" is your "pal"
Or...
"I intend to put the pal back in principal."
"And I intend to put the super back in superintendent."
Never heard of death by snu-snu I take it? ;)
Is that anything similar to Death by Boonga Boonga?
While I consume multiple novels at the same time
You consume your books? Aren't you aware that books were meant to be read and not eaten?
Of course, if he lives in Nebraska, he is SOL (and I don't mean Sierra On-Line).
Now, on this 3D model, please show the doctor which polygons the bad person clicked on.
We can't live in the past any more... or the present.
This is the future.
Well, aren't you a little old to be believing in Leptons anyway? :p
I cropped out the rest. It was not needed for whatever post on the CoH forums I had originally made this for.

Does teabagging in Halo violate the restraining order?
Or what about teabagging in City of Heroes?

But nowhere in Nebraska. Correct?

Encrypt the drive first with whatever the strongest encryption available is and then write all zeroes to it?
Then even if you can recover 50% of the bits, you would not be able to do anything with them unless you can figure out how to crack the encryption.
Would that work?
Depends on which version of primary colors you use
I suppose they could be considered primary colors as far as the visible light spectrum goes:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet

Dude, take it back! It's only the best non-porn movie ever!
Well, it would be if it was possible to watch it without falling asleep within less than an hour into the film.
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Fixed that for you. That phrase is supposed to include all 26 letters of the English alphabet. Your version was missing the s.
And that phrase has obviously evolved and morphed to where "for all intents and purposes" is just as valid and acceptable.
