Don't bother, they aren't very good. Robert's cat was lazy and only did scans on Mondays... and he hated Mondays so the resulting scans were always low quality...
It should be noted that Robert's cat died of a lasagna overdose shortly after Robert was abducted by Lazarus Long in the spring of 1988.
I thought that was another term for rubber hose cryptography.
For that the term "percussive data recovery" may be more accurate... You don't have to beat someone to change their mind, especially if you can really go in and CHANGE their mind!
I thought noone was a participant in a nooner... or is that noonie? Or maybe just noony... no, that doesn't sound right... Well, in any case if you get to be in a nooner, don't be gauche!

It's bad enough that people don't make simple typos anymore but "autocomplete" to completely different words than they intended to type.

Positivism can help with feelings of negativity, despair, hopelessness and issues arising from low self esteem. Positivism is not for everyone, ask your doctor if they are stupid enough to prescribe Positivism for you. Positivism may cause sudden sexual arousal and should only be used around really good friends. Test subjects also reported uncontrollable urges to lick someone's ear. Other reported side effects include sudden explosive flatulence combined with diarrhea, random rectal bleeding, finger and or toenails turning orange, and the desire to write computer code no one will ever use. If you experience any of these side effects don't say we didn't warn you. Talk to your doctor before discontinuing Positivism. Try to see him while you have the explosive flatulence combined with diarrhea, as studies show most doctors will allow you to discontinue Positivism if you go crap up their office...

I appreciate Slashdot has standards, and one is "If you didn't preview, nuh nuh, even though we make it easy to submit without previewing and don't do what every other website does", but, really, the editors should change the headline.
OK, when did we get standards? And how come there has not been a single moo on this page yet? Did I wake up in an alternate universe?
I'd stop to post about how useful social network integration will be for my graphics driver's settings manager prog but I need to go visit the bike shop to buy some birthday presents for my koi.
Don't forget to buy them the tight little shorts, you don't want your fish to look silly when they are out riding around!
Seriously, these morons should have to call the install "Useless Crap & Drivers". It's the same thing with updates for Flash, Java, or almost anything these days. If you are going to try and install software not already on my system, then you should be required to call it something like "Chrome Browser Installer with Flash Update" or "Ask Toolbar Installer with Java Update". Put the name of the new software first because it is an install, not an update.
If you taught robot "A" to disconnect the power on robot "B", and that gets into the database, you could make robot "B" learn to spend all it's time protecting it's power connection! Then add some old late night TV input and you end up with this scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsmCG2A_Sok

I would have gone for "one trick heifer", but other than that I agree...

Do they have really odd looking hair? Because I think I spotted one... It wasn't speaking Japanese, but it was incomprehensible...

The shortest distance between two points on the surface of the earth is not a straight line. It is a path that follows the curvature of the earth.
The shortest distance is a chord that goes beneath the surface of the earth.

"Non-consensual Attitude Adjustment"
I thought that was another term for rubber hose cryptography.
For that the term "percussive data recovery" may be more accurate...
You don't have to beat someone to change their mind, especially if you can really go in and CHANGE their mind!
"Well, sure," said a brainwashing industry spokesman.
Brainwashing is such a pejorative term...
We prefer Non-consensual Attitude Adjustment.
You'll like that better tomorrow...
The important question isn't how, but why.
The flying spaghetti monster gave us water so that we could boil pasta.
So what your hinting at is that the flying spaghetti monster likes to get eaten?
I guess I can understand that...
and lock the dinosaurs back in their cages
Well, it locks the cages...
where the dinosaurs are at that moment is an external variable.
I thought noone was a participant in a nooner...
or is that noonie?
Or maybe just noony...
no, that doesn't sound right...
Well, in any case if you get to be in a nooner, don't be gauche!
Does it run analog Linux?
Sure, if you can keep the horses from eating the kernel...
Echo... echo...
