All we need now is Franz Wangdoodle to invent an engine and the hilarity will be complete...

Man1: "Sir what is that?"
Man2: "Oh, that is the new Wangdoodlemobile"
Man1: *snorts* "BWAAA AHAHA AHHAAHAH!"

He's probably coming from the context of entry being the point you tell the OS "i want to execute ".

You do realize that the USAF would likely enter into contract with Sony for the PS3s right? It isnt like they're going to go down to the local tech store and say "gimmie all your PS3s heres a couple thousand dollars". They can easily add a clause that states, "All PS3s delivered shall have the OtherOS option enabled". Sure, they may pay a few extra bucks from Sony, but it will still be cheaper to buy those in bulk from Sony than from a normal store.

this is actually the reason why ye olde time programmers keep away from women and are in such scarce supply. Any erection causes irreversible instant death as all blood is suddenly evacuated from their body into their bulbous appendage. A few die off every year or so, but never as bad as when the internet first caught on, there was a relative extinction event when that occured due to the prevalence of adult entertainment...

How is that different than -any- other hacker? You need knowledge of the underlying mechanics in order to hack something, its what makes it possible.

no, there is a third type C: George R. R. Martin style. Which is less of a fantasy novel and more of a political medievel story set in a fantasy-like universe. It is honestly the only fantasy novel type worth investing time in, from a sci-fi lover's point of view. If all else fails... Hyperion works ;)

So do we clear that up with a Cybperhysteriaectomy? *shudders*

Actually, watson's answer was logically correct, Jeopardy's phrasing was logically wrong, but socially correct. The anitomical oddity was the athlete's leg, because it was missing. If it were asked something like "what oddity did the athlete possess" then "missing leg" would be correct and "leg" would be wrong.

Is this an offshoot of Taekwonleap's "boot to the head"?

The use of the 'k' in 'Amerika' is a reference to the German use of the letter 'K' for "hard C" sounds. Essentially, godwining the post by making a reference to America as a fascist country, due to Germany's historical past.

so... anyone who drives a Chrysler vehicle now?

that was just to see if you were paying attention. ;)

errr, i should say, any nondeterministic polynomial time problem should also have a deterministic polynomial time solution... All in all, its a very specific solution to a very specific class of problem.

nah, it just says that any nondeterministic problem should also have a polynomial time solution. Linear time solutions are not covered by the conjecture.

doh, posted in wrong spot =(
