Don't you see? This is the Illuminati once again ensuring that its elite members can go out and party while us common folk get screwed, and then they have the balls to remind us all of how we're just complacent sheep!
So, we are being screwed and we are sheep... So the Illuminati are screwing sheep? You would think with all that money and power they could do better... Or is there something about sheep that's being kept from the common people? OMG, I see it now! It does all make sense! I am upgrading from tinfoil to Stainless Steel foil at once!
But what about the quantum backdoors implanted for the Chinese government?
Quick, somebody lock down quantumbackdoors.com for use as a porn site. When the Chinese government tries to use their secret backdoor they will encounter a black hole!
Off topic: when I watch the/. homepage, I am logged in. As soon as I click on a story, I become an Anonymous Coward. Did anybody else experience this bug too?
Some would see this as a super power... of course they're already trolls, but mighty trolls with super powers. Seriously, I've seen something like this in FF with some privacy plugins, but it's been awhile.
Use a long cable and perform the entire operation with the drive running in the freezer. Nothing sucks worse than getting half the data off, only to have the drive overheat again.
I took this a step farther with an 18" PATA cable and a couple 3 Lb. blocks of dry ice (local supermarkets often sell it). It took forever but I got my data copied off... and yes beware of condensation, use ziptop freezer bags around the drive and rubberband them flat to get all posible air away from the drive before cooling. I let my drives get pretty cold before I spun them up using a PATA to USB cable and stand alone power block. I was too chicken to risk the IDE controller on the mobo. After getting my data I scrapped the drive, I would never trust it again.
Well, without failed forks, false starts, and unfruitful developments evolution would not work... When Homo erectus appeared on the evolutionary scene I'm sure there were plenty of knuckle walkers commenting things like "Oh, walking around with his head up he'll miss all the juicy bugs on the ground." and "Standing that tall he will run into a tree limb and kill himself." Of course in those days moderation was a rock to the head so they may not have expressed their opinions to others.
When the failures stop, evolution has stalled. Progress is made by people that are willing to do something, even if it turns out sub-optimally.
This thing has a Vista-rushed-to-market feel about it.
I agree. Every other roll out MS has done was a money grab. 98 should have been 98SE, ME should have been XP. Vista should have been 7. I have been telling people for a year to avoid 8 until it is 8+ or whatever. Of course they would avoid using "+" on anything because it might bring Google to mind... but if history is any gauge 8 will suck so hard you'll need a CRT to avoid screen puckering.
And ME And 98 until they released "98SE" They seem to step on their pecker with every other version of Windows... but the fact is all the crappy releases were just money grabs 98 should have been 98SE, ME should have been XP. Vista should have been 7.
Anytime a guy can talk about his post going to 11, well, just don't do it. The Spinal Tap ref ends up in a race condition with the short penis compensation joke and in the end nothing beats a short penis joke. I'd have bolded that last line but I didn't want to be seen as overcompensating Oh Crap...
And it is at this point that we need to let the moderation "Funny" go past the 5 limit... sure there are many informative and insightful posts but once you hit 5 everyone gets it. Humor, however, can do amazing things including allegedly healing people. Also it has been proven to sometimes cause fluids to suddenly appear on monitor screens, keyboards, clothing, and furniture.
All the geeks from the data-center will flock to join the Japanese ladies in the Japanese Bath
And even with the ladies already naked I fear the geeks still got no shot.... How about building REALLY SMART Hot Dog carts? With that much hot water we could have ever conceivable version of tube steak hot and ready to go.
You're not even supposed to grab your coat when a building is evacuated. Much less hardware.
That's exactly correct. I've known people that literally got out naked (having been asleep), but they got out of a fire alive. If you know the fire is a risk and you can't replace the hardware for lack of insurance then the move should already be happening now... "We moved all the stuff for no reason" beats "We lost everything because we waited" every time in the Thoughts of Tomorrow game.

They talk about base 69; but never get there.
The heartbreak of premature enumeration...
Maybe it's in base 36
In this thread I would think it obligatory to go all the way to base 69.

First they came for MTV,
and I didn't speak out because it had died twenty years ago.
Then they came for Comedy Central,
and I didn't speak out because it's a big loop of the same old stuff.
Then they came for the Kardashians,
and I bought them lunch and a full tank of gas.
I know E! is not owned by Viacom, but a person can dream, can't they?
How well did that work out for vista?
And ME
And 98 until they released "98SE"
They seem to step on their pecker with every other version of Windows... but the fact is all the crappy releases were just money grabs
98 should have been 98SE, ME should have been XP. Vista should have been 7.
3rd part software and not free
The same thing can be said about the Excel spreadsheets that serve as their current solution.
It's hard to get the documentation done while beer is dripping from your nose...

Well, that or I picked a random polysyllabic word on which to practice my capitalization

That post was at least an 8...
I would think A Flock of Seagulls could help with Telecommunication,
but they do have a tendency to run...
What if it really is in Pittsburg?
Earth to NASA - there's plenty of water right here!
No need to spend millions looking for it on Jupiter!
Shallower gravity well too...

Ever seen Reefer Madness (1936)?
Yes, but I was pretty well baked at the time...
There are FF add-ons to do just that... MANY of them, just open the add-ons manager and search "video".

Give them a political office and they can rob both.
And get paid to do it...
and get medical benefits...
and retirement!
In future years you'll need to cover the costs of the award by publishing video of the stick being inserted.
No, you don't get to choose where.
Now I'm happy that it is no longer a spoon...
