and on who's face ? Gotta catch on with the latest slang...

Codecs ? And plugins ? I mean INSTALLABLE a/v decoders ? What does video decoding have to do with hypertext markup language ? And why should Mozilla, Google or Froogle decide on what I encode the videos on my page with ?

Yes and it's a multi-billion dollar fantasy.

I guess you'll never gonna get a job in the marketing department.

They do infact get older from experiencing the many incidence of physical abuse ? Sorry for the car analogy, but if you drive a city car offroad, you'll have to fix it more often, and it will eventually go junk much faster. You exchange bits and parts in a car by buying new parts, and the body exchanges dead cells for new ones by dividing cells, and the telomeres shorten. No new concept of "genetic scars" required.

They just dye their hair gray so that they look more noble and smart. But they probably do get a few more wrinkles from grinning all the time...

These foxes breed like rabbits !

I get your point. There are those who like it with rubber, and there are those who don't. As for me, rubber is rubbish :-)

There, you finally grasped the idea of Slashdot :-)

then they probably know where I'll be tommorow (just don't tell my girlfriend)

Errm... Playing games ?

(Mod me insightful ;)

Not me... Hated the keyboard with rubber keys and the crude T9 typing. Managed to retype one or two half-page listings of funny text animations from computer magazines and was totally fed up and non-enthusiastic about this programming thing. I became enthusiastic much later, when windows 95 and Borland Delphi came around.

But I admit I enjoyed playing games on it and I've broken a few joysticks on decathlon-type games.

Are there hints that /. users have any influence on politicians ? Well, there was a million dollar prize given to Linus Torvalds for "technology innovation", but I'm not sure there were politicians involved...

Well, in case they develop an advanced civilization from the abundance of healthy drinking water, they can build pipelines...

Yeah ? Well, just look at them. They already can and do more people than they can possibly feed. It seems they don't need to think about it, they just do.

My 20-year old Sony Trinitron beats iPad 3 Screen Quality. If I had a strange name like "Pixel Qi" or "Kim Dotcom" would this make a slashdot story ?
