I know kung fu! And linear algebra!

If they install these in the pillows at Holiday Inn Express, it'd be truth in advertising.

Depends on where in the DC area. In some parts, it's as much suburban sprawl as LA, and you'd basically end up dead on a bike or walking, as it involves playing Frogger on major roads.

Shoot them first, ask questions later. If they get back up, shoot them in the head, because they're clearly zombie coders.

If that still doesn't work, put them on help desk.

Maybe that's the point. Perhaps the whole idea is that they want anyone who'd legally own a gun to simply be pulled out of the gene pool or too scared to buy a gun.

Just wait until the govt. mandates that all new guns are smartguns.

So, if you use this thing to simulate downloading music and get caught by the RIAA goon squad, does it lead to a CARDIAC arrest?

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Tip your waitress!

Google is just following in the footsteps of Metallica: Bootlegs made us popular, but if you want to share music, then F**k you!

Or Disney for that matter: We blew up making cartoons out of fair use content. Now that we're huge, we'll continue to buy copyright into eternity so that nobody else can do this ever.

If I had mod points, I'd mod the f**king sh*t out of this post so many times that you'd be the next editor of Slashdot.

There should be a whole damn college curriculum around this post. So, so true.

And they still won't want it. I think part of the appeal is that this is a novelty that's really hard to produce, and therefore expensive. It's another way to show how much better you are then everyone else because you have money. And it tastes better because it's expensive (or so your mind tells you).

Conspicuous consumption sucks.

Rape Sister is so the name of my next band.

Actually, it could be worse. . . He could tape actual babies to himself.

Ok, to be fair, this was from crossing the border as a 19/20 year old in the late 90's, so things may have changed a bit. At the time, the girls often would collect tips with their breasts from a customers mouth or the bridge of their glasses, and other various forms of close contact. You'd sometimes see one stripper pick up a coin from another stripper using her girl bits.

No idea if things have changed. It's entirely possible the tips are all 5 dollar bills now or something. $DEITY, I hope not.

Clearly, you've never been to a Canadian strip club. So much more awesome due to the loonie.

Felt it on the third floor of my building in Rockville, MD. Shook the floor upwards a bit, figured I'm better at work than at home -- that's the 16th floor.

That was something.

There, I said it. I like the new version of iGoogle.

Why? Work has had my Gmail blocked forever now, even though it's one of the safest webmail options out there. All I could see on iGoogle is the first 9 subjects and senders.

Now. . . a nearly fully functional Gmail. Sure, I can't work with attachments, links, etc., but I can get information I need quickly without having to run offline and go to a wi-fi hotspot in the middle of the day.

It's a free service. Suck it up.

~EEE~
