I read the WSJ, and it seems that every other day or so, a WSJ tech story comes onto/. Is it just some special, year-long coincidence, or does the WSJ have a godlike tech section in addition to the greatest business section ever?
The only reason that spam is alive right now is because of its horribly low cost: it costs nothing, basically, to send junk mail through the internet. That nothing would be increased by about $70 a day for a hotel room with high-speed internet.
I would think that running the water for 5 minutes while using it(exempli grata:to wash greasy face after long day at work) would cost less than leaving it dripping.
But I guess you guys aren't responsible for utility bills and stuff.
Is he trying to improve his own records? Isn't this just a case of an idiot who tries to get people to hack their educational stuff for them? I mean, it probably will lead to a congressional scandal, but it doesn't really have much to do with the aide's aide-ness or republican-ness.
You're not quoting anyone. I have to burn karma, but [sic] means that was the spelling as it. As in, Meanwhile, pharmaseuticals[sic] with known dangerous side effects. ... I get to use it, because I'm quoting you. Original texts should not have [sic] in it.
Well, speaking of monsters that kill people in one hit, perhaps they could do it nethack-style, with a secret team of devs. That would be nice, but how would we hide their identities in an MMORPG?
If everyone's the equivalent of a dev team member, then what's to stop everyone from making a monster at the start that dies in one hit and drops a trillion gold?
The Senate and the House combined make up a parliament with a different moniker. Basically, Senate = Elected House of Lords, House = House of Commons. Both are federal legislative bodies, meaning that they'll affect the whole country.
Rapping is too easy to parody, as it lacks harmony and such. I shall use iambic lyric poetry instead.
What storm-god's horn hath Indus to his name?
What great big blobs of money is there, to be made?
When humongous mass of people are laid off
In the name of the greater good to gain?
Why doth the poet quote
Passages of the Wiki?
How doth the pointy-haired one
Have such a hoplon hairpiece?
It is a myst'ry indeed
With dearth solvedness
In such a mighty, shrinking lyric.
Bad meter, but I stamped this out in 15 minutes. So sue me.
The magic bit is the 10th and the ninth. Gives all rights not reserved to feds or forbidden to states to states or people. The SCOTUS just decided that abortion rights were forbidden to states.
On another note, I think the champaign was to attract chavs, which tend to spend money like drunken sailors because they are, unfortunately, usually drunk. What do they drink? Champaign. They're usually underaged, but who cares? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav )
I recall from a/. comment from the son of a congressman(Congressional brat?), where he said that his father worked rather more than six days a week, due to the necessary reading of bills in his committee, and such.
Joy, thou glorious bulb o' heaven,
Daughter of Ediso-nian
We approach electricity-drunk,
Patently one, your light.
Your technology in all ways unites
What the Great Nub Cannon separates
Klingon becomes the Federation's brothers
Where thy healing magic alights.
Whoever succeeds in the great attempt
To beat down the Zerg
Whoever has won a lengthy lawsuit
Let him add +3 Polymorph!
Yes, whoever calls even one line
His own on the glassy dome!
And who never has, let him steal
Yellow sparks, away from the group.
All nerds drink at the flickering light
At the shiny screen of Un-Na-ture,
All the Doom and Quake and C-S
Follow her pasty legion's trail.
Computers she gave us, a-aand cola,
A partner, proven unto Blue Screen of Death,
Pleasure was to the geeky granted
And the LARPer stands before the DM.
Glad, as the light-sabres fly,
Through Hoth's wretched hive
Run, you players through your race
Joyful, as Anakin to vic'try.
Be embraced, you programmers,
This loop for the world!
White-hats, beyond a blinding canopy
Must the mighty War-hammer dwell.
Do you bow to the numberless Borg?
Do you sense the Force, padawan?
Seek him behind the force-canopy!
Beyond all copyright He must dwell.

We use a fair bit of Latin loanwords, because the language of scholarly speech was Latin from about 100 BC to 1300 AD. Scholarly, by the way, comes from the Latin scholus. Also where we get the word "school".

Mr. 'Makes Doom then Quake then Daikatana' Carmack?
Lordy, lordy. I think SA does it the best justice:
Here.
Your spelling of questionable and your use of the phrase, 'of course' is cuestionable.
But the difference is that isopropyl and methyl alcohol expl00ges your kidneys if you drink 'em.
Darwinian, sure, but it makes enforcement easy.

The WSJ article was published Friday; enough time to get to even Australia.

Wasn't the you/thou distinction based upon formality?
Wikipedia gives that it was a way to enforce the T-V distinction.

Y'know, the solar tsunami could cause geocide, if it were to happen in our dear Earth.

What a 'well regulated' militia is. Probably has to be set up to defend nat'l safety.
Let the 4th letter of the alphabet enter your phonetic language, yon compatriot.
Where's My Cow? is a good book for geek indoctrination. If you want to indoctrinate with great nerdiness.
