    Wrong tool they used during assembly they did. Metric hydrospanner they used. Imperial hydrospanner they should have used.

    It's odd how when you learn of something new, you keep noticing it everywhere. Oddly enough, there is a term for this phenomenon

    Aw, it was an honest mistake. He had no way of knowing that the Invisible Man was laying on top of Wonder Woman.

    Real Real Geeks recognize Pi.


    Especially if it's pumpkin Pi. And remember Pi R round. Cake R (usually) square.

    I've got a 23+ year old genuine Apple RF modulator. Take THAT, suckers. The "switcheur" troll would gladly suck my cock for this piece of Apple antiquity.


    But I didn't think those assmuppets acknowledged anything Apple that wasn't Mac.

  7. Re:My two explanations on Utah Bans Keyword Advertising · · Score: 1

    This law, from what I've gathered, isn't saying that if you google "Jiffy Lube" then no competitors can come up in the search results, it's just saying they can't come up in the keyword ads. So your associative lookup is all good.


    So does this mean that in Utah, a company like Newegg can't come up in keyword ads brought on by a search for AMD, or Asus, or nVidia, or any other products that they sell?

  9. Re:Woohoo! on Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over · · Score: 1

    I have a dream of professional hitmen being hired to eliminate RIAA executives, RIAA lawyers, etc.


    To paraphrase one of the great philosophers of the 21st Century...

    I have a dream. And in it, something eats the RIAA's executives and lawyers.

    Note the date. It's not even Sci-fi anymore.

    Of course, the mission would have to be carried out at night so they don't burn up.

  13. Re:Other things interest me besides... on China's Earliest Modern Human Found · · Score: 4, Funny
    I thought this Human origins question was answered back in the late 70s...

    There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe. With tribes of Humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. That they may have been the architects of the great pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of Man, who even now fight to survive...somewhere beyond the heavens.

  14. Re:No Apple product was ever a flop!! on The Top 21 Tech Flops · · Score: 1

    I know you're probably attempting humor, but I believe even the most rabid Apple fans would concede that at least one Apple product was indeed a big flop...

    The Apple III

    Still, it does look pretty cool, and I would love to find one of these at a thrift store. It would look really nice next to my TRS-80 Model III and the Vectrex.

    If you still had a Windows 2000 server on your network you had to either buy new software and give microsoft your money or pay $4000 to buy the DST hotfixes.

  17. More like increases mileage two-fold on X Prize For a 100-MPG Car · · Score: 1

    The Foundation now plans to offer millions for the first practical car that increases mileage five-fold.
    If it was five-fold, that would mean 250mpg, not 100mpg. I mean, my little Geo Metro is about as practical as they come, and on the highway, I tend to average up to 50mpg.

    It probably wasn't actually written by the dean. Instead, I would guess that he was dictating the message to his young, nubile freshman intern. Yeah, that's it.

  20. Response to the RIAA Letter on University of Wisconsin-Madison Bucks RIAA · · Score: 2, Funny

    To whom it may concern among the lawyers for the RIAA.

    We the staff here at the UW-Madison take allegations of piracy on our network most seriously. Rest assured that we have the situation under control, and there is no need for further action on your part. We have identified the students that you have claimed as being engaged in illegal file sharing, and disciplinary action has been taken.

    Specifically, the students in question were all freshmen ladies who did not fully realize the gravity of their actions. In three days, we will hold an assembly of all the entire student body and faculty in the stadium. At this time, all of these young, nubile miscreants will be properly paddled as punishment for their illegal actions.

    Again, no further action is required upon your part. Thank-you for bringing this situation to our attention. The disciplinary ceremony will be posted to Youtube as soon as possible.

    Coridally,

    The Dean of the University of Wisconsin-Madison

    So some god went on a cosmic health kick and implemented a high fiber diet? And when he took a crap, he breathed life into the results and called them Humans?

    What's really upsetting is that I, and my party of missionaries, are due to be sacrificed by a cannibalistic tribe at noon today, and we were really hoping for a Solar eclipse as a result.
    Let me guess. They gave you a choice of Boonga-Boonga or death. You chose death, and it turned out to be death by Boonga-Boonga.
