I can pop ~40-50 joints in my body, everyone says that I am going to get authritis, but it doesn't hurt so oh well. (it's good for scaring the girls in class;-))
Electronic signatures where feasible(sp?). I hope they know what is feasable. This is not to start a diplomat bashing or anything but take the following example: My father is a chemist. The lawyers making the pollution regulations decided that there could be ZERO pollutants in the soil of a refinery. ZERO! With chemicals measured in parts-per-million(ppm) or even parts-per-billion(ppb) this is ridiculus(sp?) I hope they get actual programmers to tell them what is feasable.
I have to throw in my $.02. NOTHING is intuitive on computers, this is an outrageous claim by ms (not to start a microsoft bashing;-)) to make their program seem better. Still, we go around whining IANAL, how many people say I am not a computer programer, why should I know what c:\ means (or/dev/hda1). I don't expect everyone to use vi like I do, I do think that you should read a few manuals, maybe use a GUI like GNOME, but know the basics of managing the operating system. You should know that your not a criminal when windows performs an illigal operation (or you shouldn't think that they are spying on you through your computer, whatever the case may be;-)) A somewhat friendly user interface should not be intuitive, it should at least be logical. No one should have to click on "save" and have the document print. Although, who really likes the evil spelling checker and caps checking that doesn't ask you and assumes that it's smarter than you? Don't expect your grandmother to be using UNIX and rewriting the linux kernel in her spare time, but teach her what a hard disk is.
Most of you are saying "It was a government bank, they were stealing from the nation". well, what do you call counterfiting(sp)? It isn't stealing but forging legal notes. What is the penalty for counterfiting (in the US)?
The liscense looks good, however the lawspeak words like "hereto", "thereof" etc. are annoying. I want a liscense agreement written in C or PERL. Then we'll know what we're agreeing to. Also, why are parts of the agreement IN CAPS? The lawyers are hurting my ears.
All of us geeks (and nerds) should program our modems and our phones to call each other and constantly say the "key phrases" and set off the buzzers. If we all keep doing this their system will become overloaded. It's the passive DoS attack, since everything is on your own computers on a legal phone service that you are paying for, they can't do anything. You didn't hear it from me, this post never took place.
to not offend anyone with these terms. I consider myself a nerd using the smart but doesn't waste time with pointless social actions (I'm not antisocial, I can function fine, I just know that it is not as important) If you think that nerd means that I am antisocial and mutter to myself and avoid eye contact then misunderstandings will arise. I consider geeks to be people who use windoze and mainly play games but don't have much technical knowledge. I think that we all should use these terms interchangeably so that we don't insult our own kind. NERDS AND GEEKS, UNITE!!
You put the player inside a big ball, and you reduce and increase the friction so that the player feels walking uphill, rough terrain. or you could oil it hevily or place small motors that keep it moving to simulate slippery surfaces (VR Ice skating). Of course the same principle as electroshock treatment would probably make most deathmatchers feer that (ice skating during a dethmatch).
Could you explain aysemmetric(sp?) encryption to me? Too my knowledge I don't see why you can't just decrypt the message the same way that you encrypted it (this is obviously not XOR), so how do (simple, please) aysemmetric encryption algorithyms(sp?) work?

If a "grey alien has a huge head and a neck the size of your finger what does this tell you? Aliens heads would fall off because of good ol' gravity. No creature with a body that frail could actually walk (and I *don't* want to hear "but mayby their planet has less gravity") Using ocam's razor: aliens can't live with that body=aliens don't exist, at least not the "grey" kind. Who thought up that name anyway?

You don't say "Mr. Smith, you tested positive for the AIDS test", you say "USEREQUEST#8882765207105: you tested positive on the AIDS test" Let everyone do everything anonymously and it will work. They give you the random user# when you take the test. I thought they did this already. . .

I'm wondering what questions it actually asks you, all I can think of is "if so-and-so did x to you, would you hit them?" but there has to be more than that, so what is it? I think that I'll grow out my hair now just to piss them off;-)

Well, first theres the James Bond: Tommorow never dies idea. Then, of course, there's the fact that whenever I get into a fight at school I want to tell my parents my side before the school does (unless I think that they won't find out). M$ is trying to report it before every other newstation says "Microsoft's website was *chough* *chough* cracked.

I would stop the harrasment of other students. Everyone thinks that "someone" (not them) has failed when a student brings a gun to school. No, instead of saying "you can't bring a gun to school because we have metal detectors" make the kid not want to shoot someone. As soon as a kid WANTS to bring a gun to school then everyone has failed. Not id software for making quake, not the music industry, not the movie filmers, EVERYONE WILL HAVE FAILED, all of societey will have failed because someone wants to shoot his classmate. When that software comes to my school I'll fake every answer--after they tie me down and tourture the answers out of me.

First HA! Amazon is now on the boycott list. second *stop* *saying* *IANAL*. Just because you are not a lawyer doesn't mean that you don't understand any of the laws. Stop saying "IANAL is this legal?", Just ask "is this legal?". Unless you contact a lawyer every time to make sure you can still breathe. Also, Patents mean that no one else can use your invention. Antitrust laws mean that you will recive penalties if you are the only one making this product. Does anyone see the conflict? Oh, and I just patented the words "slash" and "dot" =>.

We don't *all* have pocket protecters and bow ties. I don't consider myself popular but the geek stereotypes dont apply to me. I don't wear glasses, I comb my hair (more than can be said about some of my friends). I don't *live* at my terminal but I do spend some time there. I can pass as 3-4 years older than I really am (in Jr. high school that means a lot). Now what will give the writer a nervous breakdown: I know at least 5 girls who *like* me. and I don't think that means as a friend:-)

When I hear "aw, I don't know" I think: this girl is a stupid airhead. That is *not* what I look for in a girl. Now if I'm at school and see windoze booting up and (as I often do) make a cross with my fingers and say: "back you demon of Microsoft", If a girl says "Linux is better" *then* I think I will be in love:-) Geeks do *not* go for stupid girls, they are thinking of jocks. I want a girlfriend who can write code with me. My sister is 3 years older than me and has many attractive friends, I am less attracted when they, after seeing my C code, swing their hand over their head and say "woosh" (implying that it is over their head for those who can't tell. Be smart if you want to attract geeks. Look to the floor if you want to attract losers. Stuff your bra to attract jocks. I'm not antisocial, but *this* goes too far. Being social is one thing, the hinting and implying and reading between the lines is what I can't stand (and, of course, the judgement). Actually I function socialy almost perfectly with adults. Geeks are just more mature;-)

I am also a musician (Viola and Guitar), my orchestra director at school said that he has a software program that plays music (that has already been writen) and has a "humanize" option that adds slight variations to pitch and rythym. And, of course, I have written BASIC programs to play parts of songs. I wonder how long until we see Gavotte, by HAL9000;-)

Intel is evil, I knew it. And we all know about the sum of the ASCII value of "Bill Gates 3" "WINDOWS95" and "MS-DOS 6.22" (I may not have the caps right on some of these and haven't checked them) The Wintel is the tool of satan! Get the Holy Linux!
