Ladies and gentlemen, this is King Kong. King Kong is a gorilla from Skull Island in the Indian Ocean. The prosecution would have you believe that King Kong was encouraged to commit a crime by my clients. But King Kong lives in the jungles of Cambodia. Now think about it; that does not make sense!

No, seriously. Wikipedia quotes it like this: "The prosecutor must show that Carl Lundström personally has interacted with the user King Kong, who may very well be found in the jungles of Cambodia. Has Carl Lundström encouraged King Kong in the jungles of Cambodia to commit a crime?"
Running OpenOffice will stop the macro from accessing IE, though. MS Office isn't even bundled with most XP anymore. It wasn't on mine, anyway.
It's annoying that I can open everyone's files, but I need to export to a buggy format for others to open mine. But this news item proves it's worth it.
I'm not closely familiar with female genitals (I'm posting on Slashdot, after all!), so I don't know whether they are similarly at risk. The "kick him in the crotch" self-defense advice mostly seems to imply a male assailant.
we've only been doing it for less than a hundred years
So what we can conclude as likely is that no civilization within around fifty light-years is advanced enough to detect our radio signals and respond....
Well, either that or they're advanced enough to have detected them, but not advanced enough for FTL travel, and they didn't want to respond via radio. Because if you saw Barney the purple dinosaur and Rush Limbaugh on TV, would you want to give us any warning you're coming before you nuke us from orbit?
For a planet to "shed" anything except perhaps hydrogen or helium, that stuff has to overcome escape velocity, which (until rockets were invented in the 20th century), requires an (volcano or meteorite) that would incinerate any complex organic compounds and render DNA a fine ash.
Plus, Google will tell you that the following comes out to 44%, as an above poster already said:
(4 billion years) * (2 billion tons per day) / (5.9736Ã--10^24 kg) in percent
Less than 1% of Earth's mass is at a temperature that even permits life to exist. As for the part that actually consists of life, you can measure it in parts per million and still need scientific notation.
I use Ubuntu, not Debian. But since Ubuntu describes itself as "based on Debian", does Ubuntu depend on changes in Debian in any way? What I mean is, will this Debian release herald a new Ubuntu release as well?
> It might make media realise that we have separate countries for a reason
It would be high time for them to realize there are different countries at all. But I guess they'll get the hint when they try to listen in on the broadcast and find out that they do not understand Swedish.:P
Just last Friday, one of my staff sent me an internet, and I got it yesterday! Those tubes are CLOGGED with internets I tell you! Stop making new ones.
Slashdot Mirror
Where do they get *those*?
Oh, attached to people. Never mind. This sounded Frankensteinian. :P
Who needs enemies, eh? :P
Is that this video thing that doesn't work in Europe?
Meh, I'll just use Youtube like before.

Yes, but I was questioning the pronoun use.

Because for lightening up your resume, nothing beats having

...no. Still sticking with XP.
My next PC will probably run Ubuntu, but XP is the last Windows I will ever use.
All right, What The Hell?

Smart move! Make people pay even more for legitimate purchases. That'll teach 'em not to pirate.
Oh wait.
Exactly. "Elegant"?
I can't imagine by what standards. It looks like some Lovecraftian worm creature emerging from the depth in a horror movie. :P
Blasphemer! Pirate sympathizer! Off to the gallows! /Cutler Beckett, East India Records Company. :P
Oh WAIT. You said PHONOGRAPHIC.
Sorry, never mind.
And to misquote Order of the Stick:

> Massachusetts ... you mean Sweden?
If you RTFS more carefully, you'll see it confusingly compares the two cases, but does not claim them to be related. :)
Welcome to my world. This is how things are in Germany. Hyperlinks make you liable for the content you link to.
And yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds. -_-

Isn't that the name of that evil gollum-attorney in Cryptonomicon? :P
There are, like, so many already.

That pun carries the death penalty in some of the more civilized nations. :P
It's a better idea than giving somebody a patent for the wheel or for breathing. I guess this is above-average quality for the patent office. ;)
"fatally strike herself in the genitals"?
Is that even possible?
What am I missing here?
Oh, that kind of jailbreak. Nevermind. :P
