Looks like I'm not the only one. I've always thought "microsoft" sounded like a word you would find on a toilet paper wapper on top of a little gold baloon to get your attention.
New Charmin Brand Tissue Paper. Now with Micro-Softness.
Ah 'n I wer gonna go defeet some American Ziionist dudes But we were all like watching the tv and there was this song from Voltaire who is like so totally awesome and we totally had to record it with our cell phones. and then we AIM'ed it at Hamm and Sama we like totally couldnt believe Voltaire would sell out like that and now Im too depressed to be an emo goth anymore, Im just so depressed.
Btw new pics up. come comment. I tried to go for an intellectualist-Jihadesque look.
Privateer was one of the first games I played. (I think I still have the Win 95 CD releae around here somewhere. I lost the original floppies.) You just brought back a big succulent heap of nostalgia. I'm gonna have to play the remake.
Also, whenever someone mentions Freelancer, I have a compulsive need to mention Privateer.
AHH! I forgot to close the HTML tag properly(Note to self: USE PREVIEW!)
The question mark should have the word "Roadrunner" before it.
Also for those who don't want to follow the link. Roadrunner is a supercomputer being developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory with aims to run at a sustained petaflop.
Linux seems neat. Conventions like Penguincon support it. Those in the "Know" know it's better. Still, other OS's dominate. Until someone finally argues their point with the undeniable logic of guns and explosives (because guns and explosives trum everything. Duh). Now it's an OS battle in the street and Linux has a penguin's chance in Hell of surviving.
Until YOU arrive on the scene. Sure, you'd rather have the OS wars conducted peacefully via Blogs, one user at a time. But someone just took a shot at you from the iPod-controlled building across the street. And that nice bald guy in suspenders just handed you a loaded missile launcher. Screw logic. This thang is ON!
We need the Pirate Party and the Ninja Party equally, they are key elements in the two party system we have developed. Besides, ninja's love copyright; they are all about keeping the secret of Ninjitsu from others.
Hmm... did social engineering have anything to do with this? Badge readers are useless when someone else will swipe you in.
Which comes back to your home being more secure, you don't just randomly let strangers wander in, and unless you have tons of parties, you usually have a pretty good mental log of who has entered recently.
The best defense still ends up being encryption. The data on a laptop cannot do harm if it reads like gibberish.
"Hmm... it seems that @VA()#$aSD on !@$%ERFG street has AXPMD%CL# as his SSN."
Except your spyware robot will actively root through your wallet while you aren't looking, then take naked pictures of you while you sleep and post em on cheap pr0nsites.
Also, when it comes time for DoS attacks, guns will be invovled.
However, if your robot acts up, just be sure to re-install Windows......right into it's neural processor......with a hammer. (Warning, this might cause data loss.)
I cannot wait for the glorius new robotic revolution. Just wait for the first botnets, soon we will hav "Robot Zombies." Tell me robot zombies don't among the coolest combaintations ever. (They still don't beat ninja monkies though.)
The author is neither pro nor anit-net neutrality. The next paragraph following the quote in the summary starts with "But what market?"
Kessler acknowledges that the Teleco's are aging giants and that something needs to be done. At the same time he does not think that NEt Neutrality and regulation are the right answer.
He does bring up an interesting tactic of using the Kelo ruling on eminent domain to sieze teleco wires and hand them to new players who want to expand and innovate.
The article basically lists the new features that are being incorporated into the latest web browsers.
There are some changes in IE7 that should be noted:
A search box in the corner!(OMG, revolutionary!)
Tabs(This is like 720 degrees revolutionary!)
But... wait... the tabs will be quick tabs with little thumbnails of the web pages(This is amazing, someone should integrate this into an OS)
And finally,
A version shipping with Vista computers, due out for consumers early next year, will come with parental controls and a "protected mode" so hackers can't easily to gain access to the rest of the machine even if the browser is hit.
(Note, the following satirical conversation assumes that Vista will actually ship at some point.) IE7 *Now entering protected mode*
IE7 You are attempting to contact host 'www.google.com' are you sure you wish to continue? The internet is a scary place. Non-microsoft web pages can harm your computer.
USER Yes.
IE7 Honestly, wouldn't you rather look at MSN pages instead of risk compromising your computer? Are you definitely sure that you wish to continue?
USER Yes.
IE7 Is that your final answer?
USER Yes.
IE7 Just to check, it's not opposite day is it?
USER It isn't opposite day.
IE7 But, if it is opposite day, and you say it isn't then it really is. Are you sure it's not opposite day?
USER Fine, it is opposite day.

IE7 WARNING! WARNING! The host attempted to send data of the unknown descriptor "HTML." This data most likely contains severe security exploits. In response, your internet connection has been severed.
User opens Firefox.
Now that I'm done IE bashing for the hell of it. The protected mode sounds like it could be a nice sandboxy type thing that could potentially make IE a lot more secure. Of course, it will probably break favorite flashy webpages or block downloads of "OMG you have to see this video.exe" sent to you by sexylola@zombiefarm.net, so users will disable it.
Personally, I will stick with Firefox, or maybe this Opera thingy everyone talks about. Is it like a Firefox extenstion or something? *ducks*
For those who don't RTFA, you really should read the text of the 'Kaiser memo for a good chuckle.
"The Post is not in a pot of water, and we're smarter than the average frog, but we do find ourselves swimming in an electronic sea where we could eventually be devoured -- or ignored as an unnecessary anachronism. Our goal, obviously, is to avoid getting boiled as the electronic revolution continues."
Now, I think the fundamental problem with this metaphor is that frogs have no business swimming in the sea, electronic or otherwise. That should be left to select e-turtles.

Mmm... H320 with Rockbox. I'm listening to mine right now. You are my new favorite AC of the day.
But do your Beowulf cluster of Linux-running, not quite Vista-capable supercomputer overlords run Linux?

Good news! It's a suppository!
(P.S. Some of us enjoyed the old style 'uncomfortable' probing)
And here I thought it was the country's responsibility to be loyal to the CEO's. They do make the biggest camapign contributions after all.
I'm suddenly reminded of Wonko the Sane from Hitchiker's Guide to The Galaxy.

How does it compare to ?
Since this machine is built with FLOPS in mind the answer is more likely
42.0
I always thought that globabl temperatures are inversely proportional to the number of pirates.
As a ninja, pirates are your mortal foe. So I blame you, Pancake Ninja, indirectly for the rise in the Earth's temperatures.
Your claims of IHOP expansions affecting temperatures are nothing more than FUD to distract people from your true role in global warming.
(P.S. Have you ever considered training monkies at your dojo?)
