Secondly, I wonder if this testosterone effect is the same / similar in women. (I'm pretty sharp, but I'm also suffering from excessive testosterone... well, for a chick anyway.)
On first read I read it that he had had himself castrated to improve his memory due to the "levels" of his testes (hung too high/low perhaps?) and is subsequently taking the testosterone due to the castration for other reasons. (That is more than I am willing to sacrifice for a good memory!)
I hope I read him right the second time and he's taking testosterone supplements that help improve his memory after being castrated. That being the case your elevated levels (of testosterone) may be the key to your being a "pretty sharp" geek in the first place.
(I base my assumption of your being a geek on your presence here on this Slashdot forum.);)
Yes, 2 metal rods pushed 6 inches deep about 2 to 3 feet apart and connected to a fully charged car battery usually does the trick. They surface pretty quick.
I just hope no one from Slashdot forum has to undergo such a procedure as Adcock did. They might allow you to play with your banjo in the operating room but with their hobbies tending towards masturbation and all... Well you get the idea..

Apparently That's what happens when you give a Mac Fanboy a few mod points.
After reading what I just wrote I see that that statement was a little over the top obvious wasn't it. Almost to the point of not having to be said. Oh well, whoopdifriggindo!
It's true. My dad refers to the *entire internet* as Google. Sigh.
Ya, my dad refers to EVERYTHING as Google. It gets tiring listening to him talk, he's like, "Hey, can I Google my electric bill?" or "Hey, what the hell are we going to Google for dinner?" or "Look, the dog's scratching his Google on the carpet again! Get my Google out of the closet! I swear I'm gonna Google that son of a bitch right between his Googly eyes!"
Yeah seriously, why the fuck is this on Slashdot? I'm not the "stuff that matters" whiner type but either timothy never used a Linux distro and thinks this is newsworthy, or this is the slowest news day ever:).
If you think it's slow now, just wait. Tomorrow we're discussing "Ubuntu, 'Where's root!'"
Just gather everything you have regarding "The game" and send it to me at biglouie@i-trust-this-guy-with-my-game.com and I will make sure it gets into the right hands... really... trust me, I'm not trying to rip you off or anything. Honestly.
I can't foresee anything possibly going wrong while lifting 40 tons with a balloon, that is susceptible to the whims of the air currents, over a 200 mile span. No, really, I can't. lololololol!!!!11!!one!!
Are you on call for your job every hour of every day?
Odly enough, I am. I average between 400 and 450 hours a month and still find time to manage the companys web site. (a really small one with few hits though.)
And the staff members I know personally would rather drown in raw sewage than play WoW.
That was meant as a play on words targeted at the "WOW" signal, not the MMOG WoW. You know, sit in front of a screen (or printout as the case may be.) for a few years then at some random point in time shout "WOW", then go right back to staring at the screen for a few more years in hopes of scoring again. Get it? Funny shit isn't it? I've been a member of the SETI@home for a number of years and fully support the effort and have had at one time as many as eleven of my own PCs running BOINC with SETI@home totaling 55,146 credits, but I draw the line at using my tax dollars to fund it.
Create an account on the SETI forum and get to know those guys that run the place. They do squat there for what they're paid. I wish I could take a vacation like those guys. They're biggest decision is "What country do you want to go spend a month at?" Shit I'd be playing WOW all day too! Get to know them before you wish them (mine and your) millions.
Here's why in a nut shell;
Top Scientists have developed a way to retrieve post visual experiences directly from the cells lining the anterior section of the retina called, by their lay names, "rods and cones". These cells can be stimulated in such a way using a clear beam (White LASER) oscillating micro pulse to "play back", if you will, Ocular Stimulation Events "OSEs" (pronounced ohses), for up to 20 hours of continuous feed that can be recorded as a single pulse spanning a mere one second. This feed can then be transferred to digital media and played back as a video file revealing everything you've seen in the past 20 hours. The method works by stimulating the rods and cones outer segment which has a series of free floating disks made by folding the outer cell membrane into multiple layers. The Scientists have discovered that the chemical fluid separating these disks appear to keep a record of previous OSEs for up to 20 hours. These events can then be "tickled" out of each cell simultaneously using the clear beam oscillating micro pulse and subsequently recorded as feedback using the same device with certain (classified) sensors. This data is then transferred to digital media and played back. The entire event lasts only seconds and the subject has no idea what has occurred. This method has been fine tuned since it's discovery and can now be used quite easily and with surprising detail.
Can Windows move forward with a completely new, fast, and secure OS and still keep legacy application support?"
Ship it with VirtualPC or allow support for VMware and throw in a free copy of Windows XP of which ever flavor the user likes with real time backup/shadow copy/whatever and you've done it! Just have the new secure O/S or security program scan the virtual network link for abhorrent data and quarantine it.
A red herring to get someone to challenge your grammar skills so you can respond that you're using the island metaphor.
No, it was a legitimate mistake. Thanks for point that out. Should have been Between the isles. I expected nothing less than a personal attack. I can see you already hate me because of what I've said. It's evident tolerance isn't something you come by easily. That is something you aren't taught in schools which was my point in the first place. If I've made any other mistakes due to my "grammar skills", please feel free to point them out also. I'll consider it a learning experience.

"younger woman" No.
younger girls. Yes.
Congress also is funding a study on sharks.
Hmm... Coincidence?
I think not.
.
They computed it down... DUH!
Because we all know how well that's worked out for them.
It's true only so long as no one fucks with it.

Don't buck trend buddy! These days it's called "Global Warming!"
You don't want to piss off the Gore groupies!
Well, it went something like this;
Messenger: Mr. President, NASA has found perchlorate on Mars.
GW: Great! I love Kool Ade!
Messenger: Wha? No Mr. President, I said PER-CHLOR-ATE.
GW: Well, lets see now, Mars is RED, so it must be CHERRY FLAVOR!
Messenger: Mr. President, I think you are misunderstanding what I am telling you, it's PER-CHLOR-ATE, you can't EAT it!
GW: Ya, I know that, you think I'm an IDIOT? ever time I eat it it turns my lips and tongue all red!
Messenger: Jeez... NO Mr. President! PER-CHLOR... AW fuckit. I'm outta here...
Perchlorate, ok. What are the ramifications of finding naturally occurring perchlorate?
I always get stuck on step 3...

They're not after the image of your retina from the crime scene.
