    Basically they seem to be so uptight about lawsuits, filesharing, MySpace, etc., that they want to lock down everything super-tight, which means MS only.

    Now that's just hysterical.
    btw, when my university told me about their "strict" OS policy, I a Knoppix disc at them, used ssh to connect to my server at home, and told them to bite me.

    I never heard a peep from the sysadmin again. Although you might not be able to do that, I really had nothing to lose at the time.

    Just try to ignore Dvorak. Sometimes he acts like he knows something. It's a trick, get an axe.

    How soon will we be able to rid ourselves of these tubes in favor of the Avian Transport Protocol? I mean really, what's the point in wireless if it still has those tubes?

  7. Funny on The End of E3? · · Score: 1

    I've been ignoring E3 in favor of TGS for the past few years. I'm not sad to see E3 go.

    You might be able to call it murder if you can prove that each cell in your leg that was killed could have become an independent being (through whatever means).

  9. Re:Inspecting your own work on Big Dig - One of Engineering's Greatest Mistakes? · · Score: 1

    I don't know how it is in other countries, but to imply a difference between toxic waste and fast food in the US is pretty silly.

    How do you think we deal with most waste? We package and sell it in little yellow wrappers of course.

    I agree! I want to pop balloons!

    Oh, sarcasm. I just made myself sad...

    In case you haven't noticed, people make better idiots all on their own. It doesn't take any help from God to make people breed.

  12. Re:Jesus Christ... on Writing on Standing Water · · Score: 1

    Anyone can do that. All you need is a pen, paper, and a slab of frozen water (also known as ice).

    Otherwise, you're right. Vague, useless, and drawing us in for more ad impressions.

    I would welcome a Caligula or Nero. It would wake people and force them into action.

    Hell, cars can be rockets (Remember the Darwin award for the guy who strapped one to his car and is now embedded in a cliffside?).

    Confirmed Bogus. Although others have strapped rockets to cars before, your reference has been known to be false for a while.

    I suppose lying is a longstanding tradition for PR firms.

    Contrary to popular belief, there is very little money in truth.

    I remember when towels were capes and plastic swords were the 1337. Then I figured out hour to turn the scrap metal in the back yard into weaponry. It amused my parents for about 5 minutes.

    I believe the code you're talking about is this:

    ...
    GOTO shaftCustomer;
    keepTheirMoney:
    ...
    shaftCustomer:
    while(1)
    {
    billsBills++;
    if(billsBills==billsBalace) break;
    GOTO keepTheirMoney;
    }
    ...


    I don't guarantee accuracy though
