"Where do you get that?"

It's a piece of information that I thoroughly made up in order to prove a point that doesn't really exist. Nice catch.

I suppose that within a few years, Pastafarianism, or the Church of the FSM, will gain earnest followers whose number will eventually overwhelm the ironic followers. Another ironic religion will need to be established, and fought for, to demonstrate how ridiculous the idea of a Flying Spaghetti Monster really is. The true believers will always chase out the ironic founders. This is what happened with Scientology, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. They all started out as jokes or games, and soon became deadly serious. The Church of the FSM thinks it's so clever, but it's just giving the Ouroboros of credulity more tail to devour. Or something like that.

...that I bought my Three Wolf Moon shirt on false promises, I will be quite put out.

Now, that's just mean.

Because I'd like to know what form this "revolt" is going to take. Are they going to stop developing with Silverlight in protest? Are they going to reverse engineer and distribute a compatible Silverlight product of their own? Are they going to stop talking up Microsoft to their buddies? Are they going to take to the streets with torches? Because "whine in forums" isn't really a synonym for "revolt."

In Soviet Russia, Vorokrytin P. Winterbuttocks changes YOUR name.

I did a chess game-to-music algorithm for a university class back in 1993. The algorithm itself was written into an AREXX script for Amiga. AREXX was a neat scripting language for the Amiga; many software packages included an AREXX port, which exposed an API to the language, so that AREXX programs could control the software. So I had the script read chess notation from my word processor, parse it, calculate the music, and write the notation to my notation software, where I could print it, play it, change instrumentation, etc. I actually used this type of workflow for several different algorithms. The early ones focused on the moves themselves, and later involved concepts like captures and threats. It was fun, and I got an A in the class, but I don't remember producing anything sublime.

I don't really understand why Google immediately went public with the information. They could have taken note of where Microsoft's searches were coming from and fed utterly crazy results to those requests. To the extent that Bing relies on Google's results, Bing would be discredited if--for example--it returned results about Amish porn to a query about where to buy a Ford Flex.

it was a resume. why would you do so much to recover it? you could have just retyped it and had it done faster.

But he was a candidate for a data recovery specialist position. He wanted to be able to put the recovery of his resume on his resume.

And here I am, considering dumping my smartphone for a good old fashioned dumbphone. Don't get me wrong, by HTC Hero is great as a web browser, a text messenger, a Wordfeud platform. If I want to see what time a movie is playing or what planets are visible in tonight's sky, the smartphone is awesome. But god help me if I want to make an actual phone call. If they thought repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell was going to be bad for military readiness...

How the hell can you "sin" moments after you're born? I get that some people believe this, but I've never understood it.

I have been a customer of ThinkGeek for a long while... and I hope that they really show where their values are and DROP BuckyBalls as product

You are just so cute, I could eat your right up!

...with a bit of effort we could make this Amazon's Three Wolf Moon T-Shirt (http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Three-Wolf-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A) of Books.

I mean, get a LOAD of this: "An analytical critique of the examples... is like taking all of Mozart's music and summarizing it into a 30 second sound bite... This book is not to be read in one sitting, but to be savored, chapter by chapter... I have found nothing to contradict or state any opposing comments." Brilliant parody!

If the book is half as crazy as the review, it's got to be worth fifty bucks.

Gone into the aether.

It's no so much the name as a picture, I think. People are accustomed to seeing their Facebook pictures only (or at least primarily) in Facebook, and a phishing attack that involves that picture would be a lot more convincing.
