I'd like to take this opertunity to say that I know the secret of turning empty soda cans into gold using only household ingredients. It's a tremendusly cool process and will make me very rich. Unfortunetly because of what it would do to the world economy I'm not telling. And I think you'll all thank me for it.
The storm itself isn't what suposed to be funny. It's the fact that somebody set up a web cam and left computers behind to moniter it. That's something only a geek would do SO IT'S FUNNY!.
Obviously we aren't going to be sitting there saying "Hahaha! Look at that! His house is washing a way! HA! And look at that little girl drowning! AhhHaHaHaHa!" We're going to laugh with the people who set the thing up.
So, essentialy it's useless. Because if the parents arne't watching then there's nothing to stop them from unpluging the thing. And if the parents are watching it's useless anyway.
I still don't understand the ending of that movie. Why didn't anyone at the Congresional hearing ask "How much static was recorded?" that seems the obvious question to me. And why didn't they send a second person? They spent billions of dollars just so they could have a single inconclusive experiment? Our goverment is wastefull but not that wastefull.
Does the book make more sense at the end? Would it be worth reading?
"I think the non-theists will accept anything of this sort forever."
What does this mean? I accept lots of things forever. I read a news article about Jim Henson's death for example. I accepted it as the truth then, and I still do. But I'm not obsessed with Jim Henson.
This is silly. For every 20 posts you can find to demonstrate your point, I can find at least twice as many that state that there IS a god. Many of those vehemently attacking the athiests. But does this somehow indicate that the athiests are right and you're just refusing to beleve that the athiests are right out of some knee-jerk reaction?
Of course not.
Besides, many athiests beleve that Religion is damaging to society. Perhaps they're trying to save you.
I think it's ironic that Think Geek sent him free stuff in the hopes of getting a plug, Then when they finaly do, the site is/.ed and can't be accessed. Don't you think they would have relised this was going to happen?

Perhaps Intel was hoping that the DOJ would force Transmeta into revealing what is going on in there.
My PalmIII has a warning on the battery back warning me that it could lose memory if bateries are removed for more then 2min.
Through a little experimentation I've discovered the real threshold seems to be about 5min.
They've actualy renamed "Ctrl" to "Command". So it's still there, sorta.

What to stop kids from simply turning off the V-Chip? I mean, kids often master programing the VCRs far before their parents do.
There must be a procedure for reseting the thing if you forget your password (Or PIN or Retna scan, whatever) So what stops kids from doing that?
They're probably just roommates. Do you have any idea what the rent is like on Sesame St?
