Ya, if it was a plastic ribbon & the ink was removed but if it was a cloth ribbon (as the doc appears to be kuz of the ugly typeface) you might be able to get something off reading the ribbon impression but it is highly unlikely, especially after it is re-wound.
Ya, and the report was generated with a typewriter. That seemed just a little manufactured. Yes, it could have just been a font but it also could have been:
A bogus report to get the conspiracy monger in all of us going
A _sure_ way to not have your keystrokes logged
Many other things our creative little minds could come up with
There is no such thing as "Lagging behind [insert country] culturally". You can lag behind technologically but "culture" IMHO is defined by customs, rituals, daily activities & things YOU do. We are DIFFERENT, not lagging.
Maybe because they have a HUGE population on a teeney bit of land adds to the impression that they take gaming _way_ more serious than _we_ do. Gaming requires MINOR physical space (unless you are one of THOSE people that moves the controler around to make it work better *grin*) and the consoles are fairly inexpensive. If you don't go commando on the deck, they last forever so as long as you have two hands and working appendages (most of us do) it is something you can do to entertain yourself.
Myself (now 24) grew up gaming (NES) and I still game (N64 not so much but ONLINE!!! lots) and often pull all nighters kuz there are soo many UT'ers that need gibbing;)
Yes, I know this wouldn't work as a defense in court.
You shouldn't need to go to court because you've already "done the time" by paying. But law lives in it's own world. If it can screw you, it will happen.
Exactly! But I can't get this through my ex-gf's head. Then of course she brings up that "love" word and says IS THIS MEANINGLESS TOOO???? And then I get shit. Apparently it's the meaning implied behind the word that is bad. it's all BS anyway. It's just a string of characters. - Any word could be considered offensive: Take "garglesnarf" for example. It is meaningless and it could be used as profanity but "FUCK YOU" sounds a heckuva lot better than "GARGLESNARF OFF"
This of course begs the Question, Why do I uncontrollably shout the word "FUCK!!" or "SHIT!!" when I screw up while playing UT:)
Tragic fire! 3 deaths, 2 seriously injured A new state of the art ariel search and rescue robot was inspecting a burning building when its mission when terribly wrong. Eye witnesses say the flying machine broke open a 4th storey window and the fire which was raging on that floor received a ton of oxygen for fuel & launched the spinning bladed death machine into the rubber necking crowd. No one was injured in the fire but 3 people are dead and 2 from the spinning metal. Sources Linux and Slashdot are to blame.

That is process & implementation failure, not product failure.
At my last place of employment(55,000 users) we used Exchange and relied upon the groupware. Never missed a meeting unless it was my own lack of caring:)
America was still busy with heavy persecution of people with coloured skin back then to bother with "normal" white folks with guns blazing in the school house at other "normal" white folks. Check into those racial injustices. There is always something stupid that we are doing.
Perhaps shooting people was more accepted back then....OR the fact that there was a war on at the time (1939-1945) = less people (read: guys / alpha dog wannabe's) in school, everyone was in "togetherness" mode and focused one a major tragedy & to "bring our boys home". After that, the country was probably trying to rebound by the depopulation.
Of course, I wasn't born till 1975 soooo I can't really remember anything before that:)
(and it is just my factless opinion) and history class was a blurZZZZZzzzzzz.....
Somehow I don't think it is just the "jocks" that are to blame. We have a bit of mean a$$hole in all of us.
So what the hell makes NASA the transit authority? Let the public decide.
I've read several comments in this posting and I see many skeptics...but please remember that NASA is NOT building it so it won't be as bad as you think.;) Perhaps nasa might even take some engineering tips from the Solotrek crew on how NOT to crash stuff.
no kidding...and what could the average human being possibly want with a computer? Those overly complex things will never take off.
There are those of us who do want something like this and all it takes is time and it we are requiring less and less of that as technology advances and speeds up development.
Will the real CmdrTaco please stand up...please stand up....please stand up....
heh...sorry...i know it is waaay old and over abused but I couldn't resist. SO What's Taco's OLD pword anyway? and how much pr0n is in the browser cache on the slashdot box? and does he have an auto-spelling & grammar screwer-upper that mangles his posts or is it just natural?
Great, now there'll be low quality movies for the same $35 (rarely do you find a good DVD oldie for less) and they'll bump the DVD's up to $75....thanks a lot for letting the MPAA a$$ PIR8's & movie industry at this...you know they're all over slashdot looking for tidbits to screw us.
VA Linux site posts little dude's site who ripped off one of their sites style and then little dude's box is/.'d [(C) whoever coined the term] by VA Linux's Slashdot users:)
Heheheh that guy will have a tough time playing Unreal Tournament for the rest of the day:)
Heh, I ignored the "Minimum Cray or better" requirement for Forte to develop some JAVA and installed it on my P90...Rofl...an hour later it hadn't even finished loading the File dialog (IIRC) - whatever the menu dialog is for "New". And to think NASA went to the moon on less.
