    For some reason I have an urge to see if ExxonMobile made campaign contributions to the George Bush.

    Yale Researchers Prove That ACID Is Scalable

    Finally. I've been telling Bob that for years, but nooo, he insists that we keep using blotter paper and sour patch kids.

    I think it's more likely that these people just ate a lot of dirt with the stuff in it.

    I'm 99% sure that the Internet is actually an advanced form of house arrest designed to keep criminal minds occupied so they don't actually hurt anyone.

    Look at how many "socially awkward" people spend their entire day in a basement or bedroom, voluntarily I might add, on the Internet.

    Shouldn't you be hiring competent people with some measure of perspective?

    Yeah, if you're looking for someone to direct the energetic enthusiastic people and tweak their mistakes without using a lot of resources. You need a bunch of young dumb and full of cums to do the bulk of the heavy lifting though.

    I thought he meant there are somewhere between 20 and 30 morons.

  8. Re:There's nothing wrong with citing Wikipedia on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at the science these experts use to come to their conclusions lately? Hell, in just the decade since I was in school a lot has changed.

  9. Re:Please post on slashdot in the form of a meme : on Prosecutor Loses Case For Citing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    The level of "real funniness" can be calculated by multiplying a comments score by the length of the chain of replies trying to piggyback the funniness of the comment.

    To be fair, he puts a lot more into his delivery than some people do. He's very animated, and I think that makes up for his usual lack of originality.

  11. Holmes on What 'IT' Stuff Should We Teach Ninth-Graders? · · Score: 1

    the government is keen on achieving total e-literacy

    The first thing I have to suggest, is that you don't have them going around telling everyone they're proud of their 100% "e-literacy". Accents can do strange things to words. In some areas, I'm pretty sure there are people who pronounce "illiterate" "elliterate" to begin with.

    If all of "your material" is constantly getting "taken early", you're not a comedian, you're a clown. Or Carlos Mencia.

    Considering the laptop isn't mine, it hadn't donned on me to try booting Ubuntu until right as I was waking up this morning. Thanks for suggesting it, I forgot once I got up and moving around. =)
    A Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit OS disk I had laying around has the machine starting right up, it went straight to the language selection screen.

    What's GRUB, is it that blue screen I get taken to when I press the del key at startup to select which hard drive I want to boot from ?

    Deciding which companies to include in your lawsuit is a lot like deciding which guy to pick a fight with on your first day in prison.

    Make clips with RFID tags in them, and labels on them, which clip on to the tubes as soon as they're inserted into a patient. Put sensors in the things the tubes connect to, any time one of the RFID tags gets close enough to something it wasn't intended to be connected to, sound an alarm.
