It's fairly obvious that you have been able to succesfully remote control the GoreBot 2000, can we look forward to seeing a GoreView WebCam anytime in the near future, or perhaps even a way that we can control his responses in debates over the internet? I like this idea of replacing political leaders with automata, keep up the good work.
If Mr. Valenti is listening, I just want him to know that I am the one that keyed his car last week at the dipson hills mall. Next week I plan to piss on it.
The Jargon File should smell like Eric Raymond after 7 days not showering.
The Whitehouse.gov should smell like... used cigars. or altoids...
Theonion.com should smell like onions (or irony) and redmeat.com should smell like red meat.

did anyone else notice this in the Transmeta Source HTML?
Yes, there is a secret message, and this is it: Transmeta's policy has been to remain silent about its plans until it had something to demonstrate to the world. On January 19th, 2000, Transmeta is going to announce and demonstrate what Crusoe processors can do. Simultaneously, all of the details will go up on this Web site for everyone on the Internet to see. Crusoe will be cool hardware and software for mobile applications. Crusoe will be unconventional, which is why we wanted to let you know in advance to come look at the entire Web site in January, so that you can get the full story and have access to all of the real details as soon as they are available.
For those of you who don't know about these great resources, I thought I'd drop a few links for fanboys. Mostof these links have tons of info about X-men, Spidey, and a whole bunch of really hot stuff.

Is it a beast or monster? A vegetable or a mineral? Does it go poo in the morning or bump in the night? Is it mean or is it nice? Does it love both cats and mice? Why won't you tell us, o mighty woz, we want to understand the cause!
does it like open source and linux or does it adore microsoft the whore? would it listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons or Rage Against the Machine? Is it scared of the snakes or heights or lonely dark nights?
If anyone here has read Dick Feynman's autobiography "Surely you must be joking, Mr Feynman - The Adventures of a Curious Character", then you MUST agree that he epitomizes everything that stands for Geekdom. He is a model of self-improvement, He won a Nobel Prize and worked on the Manhattan Project, and he has varied interests - consider:
He once took a bet (he took plenty of bets) that he could learn to play the Flight of the Bumblebee on Clarinet in two weeks (without previous knowledge of the ways of the clarinet)
He spent many of his later years learning to paint - and became a fairly accomplished gallery artist
He beat an asian fellow in a contest of wits, his pencil and paper versus this fellow's abacus, and won (computing the cube root of a very large number by hand)
one of his hobbies at los alamos was safecracking. That's just cool.
his lectures are widely seen as not only incredibly informative, but also a source of great comedy
and this is just the start. HE should have got man of the century, if you ask me. but no one is.
I was supposed to get a SWANKY 8x4x24x CD Burner for christmas. It did'nt come. I almost cried, My hard drive is so full of MP3s. All legal, of course. I did, however, get the stuff from Amazon that I was supposed to get. Seems like it'll take another year for this whole thing to get working. After all, when they first opened disney world in 1953, the Pirates of The Caribbean went crazy and ate all the tourists. Or something like that.
This is hilarious! Imagine the earth ends in a catacalysmic (sp?) nuclear war. These idiots would ditch the bunker right after the noise died down. Immediatly the 6 beautiful upper-class people begin to mutate into massive versions of britney spears and ricky martin, then battle to the death on the ruined island of manhattan, until there is only one remaining. Of course, this is all covered by Carson Daly whom as we all know is a robot (programmed for idiocy and top 5 countdowns) and immune to human weapons.
I'd like to see one of these "forgeproof" certificates. I'll bet they are as forgeproof as DVD encryption was uncrackable. Anyone wanna be Bill G for a day? What a great underground industry THAT would be - creating false identities on the internet.
But dude, you didnt make a difference in my life. she did. She made me laugh. I dont know you and therefore don't care. Sorry, but that'sthe way the world works. If it's any consolation, I hate being meaningless in the grand scheme of things too.
Yes, ad agencies farm out contracts to visual effects houses. Blue Sky in White Plains did the epic "Metal City" and "Metal Desert" that were completly computer generated. Everyone's favorite Special Effects company Industrial Light and Magic also does numerous groundbreaking commercials.
Ahhh... I too want to be an effects animator. The primary Special Effects house that was called into service for The Matrix was Manex, formerly MVFX. The special effects team was headed by the mighty master John Gaeta.
In New York, which is where I believe you said you wanted to work you will find Click 3x, among a host of others. They are the fellows who worked on Breakfast of Champions.
The best resource on the internet to find out about Special Effects is www.VFXpro.com
There are job postings, articles on techniques and tools, locations of major houses, and interviews with famous artists.
Good Luck! It's a harsh and challenging world out there!
Linux was created by a thousand people, most of whom have never and will never meet each other. This is what makes linux so damn cool. Illustrating this concept could be done in many ways. consider: A number of heads facing away from each oher connected in some way. perhaps by streams of energy or something. have you ever seen the norman rockwell painting "freedom of speech"? appeared on the february 20, 1943 saturday evening post? It's got a real community feel to it, basically it consists of of a man standing up speaking his mind while his community looks on. This idea, that Linux is a community effort is the sort of thing I think that you want to convey. Have a picture of Linus and Tux standing on Steve Job's and Bill Gates heads. The more blood here, the better. Have a picture of Cindy Margolis and Soledad O'Brien having a water fight wearing cuttof jeans and slashdot t-shirts. Nothin says lovin like big breasted hotties in wet tshirts. Farm out the contract to me, I need the work. Have an image of Her Royal Majesty the Queen of England standing in a fountain holding a copy of Red Hat. Wearing a Red Hat. Non sequitur is the king of attention getters. 6
I beg to differ. I truly believe that the Sony Vaio's Ultra-Slim brushed alumninum is a truly kick-ass design. A professor of mine picked it up and it has this neat purple steel type feel to it. cool.
My only problem with that would be that if you were going to have an Electronic Repository For All Knowledge (Encycloedia Internetica?), you'd need a REALLY good bunch of moderators. I mean, take a look at Everything.Blockstakers.com (i think that's the link, it's on topof slashdot). Everything gets really silly sometimes. I mean, it's great and all, but would you ever cite it on a research project? (probable response : I already have!) The moderators we have for slashdot, while choosing at times ceratin things that seem to be apocryphical, irrelevant and even contradictory, tend to give us the impoortant stuff. Personally, I think blockstackers has a good format, it just needs moderation.
The reason that Hackers are portayed by the media the way that they are is because it makes money. The 31337 Hacker d00d image is something that sells really easy. Like Marylin Manson. It shouldn't surprise anyone that angelina jolie (remember good old acid burn?) sells better than linux torvalds? but wait.... I've never seen a picture of the two of them together..... to the/.mobile! This is, of course, how I deal with everything; I blame the news media.
I used Dvorak for about nine months because my roomate used my computer without permission. I also change my windows shell to Litestep. Dvorak not only increased my typing speed in general, but I swear it doubled my speed on QWERTY. I reccomend it. It's kind of fun and people think you're more hardcore.
