I was also confused because the Cell processor isn't really 'reprogrammable'. Guess this explains it. Stupid biologists getting in the way of our video games..
This makes me think.. has anyone ever done 'democrats' vs 'republican' skins for CS? With all the inane political banter that goes on about both sides (and I severely doubt that just because someone is a member of some political party means you can stereotype them in the way that seems to go on allllllllll the freaking time), I think that all you pseudo-political nutjobs would get a real kick out of it!:)
Nope, I didn't get it. If only I had some method of searching through large quantities of information quickly, trying to match a certain word or phrase.. or perhaps some large collection of knowledge indexed in an orderly fashion that I could lookup quick (or as the Hawaiians say, 'wiki') for the name Sisyphus.. oh well, guess neither I nor anyone else will get this joke.
It isn't really a 'bad idea' IMO, though any attempts in the past haven't been very well thought out. But anyway, aside from the fact that I know basically nothing about how to take advantage of security exploits to write a worm, I'd also be shit scared of somehow getting traced and arrested for releasing something like this into the wild, because basically it's illegal to take control of someone's computer even if it's for their own good. At least Microsoft have a bit more legal clout behind them, and could probably change their EULA or something to make it legal? Though I agree with you that given their track record, they ain't likely to pull off something like this correctly, not first time anyway.
Jedi aren't really that boring (for example they're awesome fun to play as in computer games).. it's Lucas that's boring. He would make young Han Solo boring if nobody else intervened in the script writing.. meh.
There already was an Ewoks cartoon series (which I used to watch before I knew they were from the Star Wars universe), so use the Ewok cartoon characters instead. What's your point?
Yeah I was thinking of Volvos too, my dad had a couple of Volvo estates in the 80s/90s.. they could maybe be described as 'ruggedly handsome' or functional, but not quite sexy:P
im a type 2 diabetic......does that mean im a pir8 Nah, if you write it like that you're just a wannabe pirate. Real pirates use parrot because they don't know how to spell.
Boxy is Beautiful. If you want over-styled machines with a sluggish UI, be my guest. I prefer more a more clean and less cluttered experience. Yeah but we're not talking about Vista here, we're talking about Mac OS?;)
I have a Macbook Pro and the interface for MacOS is much cleaner than XP and Vista. I have a dual boot into XP Pro for happier integration into the domain at work, but at home I'm starting to use Mac OS more and more. I like having a proper UNIX derived terminal, and it's great for stuff like watching movies as I can get from being powered down, to the desktop far quicker in MacOS. When it comes to actually viewing media, frontrow is a much more pleasant experience than Windows Media Player - not saying much really, but it is a good interface, especially when combined with the little remote that you get with Macbooks. If you're wondering why I don't just use my DVD player it's because it's set to the UK region code, and the anime that I'm mostly watching at the moment is region-whateverthehecktheUScodeis:p
I agree that boxy is beautiful when it comes to stuff like car design (old Audis, old Toyota MR2, and the Mistubishi Lancer Evo VI come to mind), but not so much for gadgets.
She was holding a scalding hot cup of coffee between her knees in a car, what else was going to happen? I can't remember if McDonald's didnt have lids then, or if she'd taken the lid off, but seriously it still takes the piss that people aren't supposed to use common sense even if McDonalds do distribute unreasonably hot coffee.
Well, it was funny to me. That's a shame that that happened (and no, I didn't know about it before just now), but if you personalise every joke then you're never going to laugh at anything. Explosive diarrhea is funny (though having part of your intestine sucked out is obviously not).
Perhaps you meant to reply to my cure for constipation below - Method of curing constipation by exposure of bodily cavities to a powerful vacuum. Now that's gonna cause an asplosion.
Or maybe we could grow interfaces so that electrical energy can be converted directly into mechanical energy You mean, like.. muscles? No growing gonna happen there buddy - unless you mean finger muscles (and perhaps wrist muscles)
I don't see how 'hating another country' could really be healthy in any circumstance. Maybe hating the leadership of the country, or perhaps certain cultural practices, but hating the country itself just sounds like racism to me. Who joins the military just because they want to act out on their racism? Eww.

Smart people who are angry at the world because they're not getting any?
Meh.. I don't care if it's free - I'm not going to get one unless they provide access to the source pattern..

I'd say (well, hope) more that the law was the backbone of the justice system, and the universities are the womb

They can't be doing that well for themselves if they have to group arts and sciences into the one faculty, surely? >_>

You just gave me a stellar idea for a highly expensive cure for chronic constipation *plot*
Perhaps he was implying that the OP's brain was more empty than the vastness of space
But in a good way ;) Really adds to the experience when browsing virtual gentlemanly establishments
Not if they're like 80. Extra benefits there are a lack of teeth.
