    My copy starts just as fast.

    Though I just tried to export the email address column of a Paypal history TSV and it cried about JAVA not being availible, so it might not be loading everything.

    I've decided to start my own Exploitability Index & my main selling point will be that I will be right 50% of the time compared to Microsofts mere 40%.

    We used to have something like that called Ugly People when I was a kid.

    I don't think anyone would appreciate you flopping your left nut out on the scanner. Oh wait, you said "big". Sorry Anonymous Coward I had you all wrong.

    Nah. Alcoholics definately have a distinctive smell.

    When I worked at Wendys we had a guy there who had his own distinctive smell, that's why he was the designated dishwasher.

  8. Office Space on A Look At the CoreFlood Botnet · · Score: 1

    Who says they're only taking from the rich accounts ?
    I probably wouldn't notice a few cents missing from my account once a month, I bet there's several thousand other people who wouldn't either.

  9. Re:Three Laws of Robotics on Packs of Robots Will Hunt Down Uncooperative Humans · · Score: 1

    AMD would build a "more efficient" 7-legged spider robot that had to do a bunch of extra calculations to utilize that odd 7th leg. The extra heat generated would cause the robot to burn itself out, saving you ammo. so yeah, depending on how you look at it I guess it is more efficient.

    Shit I forgot to hit the AC button !

  11. Re:Oh the irony... on Stem Cells From Fat Create Beating Heart Cells · · Score: 0, Troll

    You've obviously never had a fat chick bent over the counter at Wendys after hours fucking her from behind so hard that nugget sauces are falling off the walls & the cash register starts ringing shit up on its' own, all the while hearing her moan like a wildebeast inbetween her feedbag-looking titties swinging up and slaping her in the mouth.

    More cushin for the pushin !

  13. DMV Noobs on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you guys, but from here on out I'm going to have a tough time not making the lives of clueless noobs who post in ALL CAPS on forums a living hell now that I have the idea that they might work at the DMV in the back of my mind.

    Seriously, just think about it for awhile.
    I know I'm right.

    That's a good question. I'm in the USA and I've been trying to figure that out for years. things would be soo much easier if people just handed me their money and got it over with.

  18. Chuck Norris on The Ninja Handbook · · Score: 4, Funny

    Last time I opened a Ninja book Chuck Norris' fist flew out of it and stopped just far enough away from my face for me to read the words "Don't even think about it" tattoo'd across all 25 of his knuckles.

    I'm not making that mistake again.

  19. Re:That's all fine and good on Microsoft Innovates Tent Data Centers · · Score: 1

    Just so the math stays easy, assume every unit costs $100 & there are 100 units.

    In scenario A you have a total cost of (103.8 * $100) = $10,380
    In scenario B you have a total cost of (104.6 * $100) = $10,460

    A difference of $80

    Now, $80 divided by the original figure which is $10,380 is 0.0077, which multiplied by 100 to get the percentage, is 0.77%

    Your cost goes up by less than 1%, not 15-20%

  20. Re:That's all fine and good on Microsoft Innovates Tent Data Centers · · Score: 0

    It's not 20% it's 0.8%

    You have to figure each on their own to get the percentages, then compare them to eachother in relation to the whole.

  21. Re:Equal and opposite? on Japanese Begin Working On Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    If this doesn't make sense, imagine tying a weight to the end of a string, holding on to the other end, and spinning in circles. The weight will be held out at the end of the string and appear stationary relative to (since you're spinning too). Now put a caterpillar on that string that walks to the counterweight and back to you.

    Let's just assume that nobody walks into the room unexpectedly and gets blindsided by a weight tied to a piece of fishing line swinging in circles.

    How am I supposed to get this splattered caterpillar stain off my wall ?

  23. ~/ less on Re-purposing a Student Tech Service Group? · · Score: 1

    I placed a bunch of the worlds problems on pieces of paper in one hat, and filled another hat with pieces of paper that had new and exciting things written on them. Then I picked one from each hat.

    On the first attempt I pulled my cousins name & realized I forgot to empty the hat after Christmas last year. Then again, I suppose you could consider him one of the worlds problems.

    Anyway, on my second draw I pulled Virtualization Technology from the new stuff hat and Homeless People from the problem hat.

    You could setup virtual apartment buildings and create ~/s for the homeless.

  24. Re:Am i wrong to feel a bit disgusted? on US Army To Develop "Thought Helmets" · · Score: 1

    I have no idea. All I know is that it would be pretty sad if you were to fix the pothole that has been neglected by the DOT in your area for apparently years, and couldn't write that off on your taxes. I know if I did that and didn't get a writeoff, I'd have to have the entire neighborhood sign a petition before taking it to the local news station to see what they think I should do with it.

  25. Re:Bullshit.. on Comcast Discloses Throttling Practices · · Score: 1

    Anything an ISP limits - whether it be browsing certain sites, severely limiting upload speed, or throttling p2p - is limiting free speech

    That's preposterous.
    I agree not getting what you think you paid for is a crock of shit, but to say that this is "limiting free speech" is going a little too far.

    That's like saying a drunk driver is limiting free speech if they crash into someone, paralyzing them, and making it so that person has to communicate by blowing through a straw.
