coderman: "An ex-girlfriend once told me, "You treat me like a piece of property." As an economics major, my first reaction was: How great that the center of my affection truly understands the way I feel!"
coderman: lol, stupid geeks
seti: this should be on The Onion
coderman: "Do you mean public or private property?"
coderman: 'Public property is a misuse of hard earned money stolen through tax.
coderman: hahah, what a fucking ignorant gassbag

President satisfied with Cheney's account
posted by John_Smith at 2006-02-16 21:09

John_Smith: Bush better satisfied whatever Cheney said! He really will shot you, if you don't.
John_Smith: ""I think that the vice president clearly explained the rationale behind that," White House press secretary ...
John_Smith: What retionale? if you disagree, he'll shot you, if you against him, he'll fucking kill you.
John_Smith: This incident confirms my speculation about government policy, "Shot first and ask question later".
John_Smith: This is just too funny, Cheney said he had had a beer at lunch that day but nobody was drinking when they went back out to hunt a couple hours later.
John_Smith: Wow, that beer must be really really good.

Turns out scientists didn't know everything (again)
posted by j_blogs at 2006-02-16 10:58

j_blogs: cane toads in australia with long legs hop further than those with short legs, and so have an evolutionary advantage at the frontline of their inoxerable spread across the nation
j_blogs: scientists stunned
seti: press conf at 11
j_blogs: (just kidding guys .. remember i don't exist, so don't cyberstalk me and take revenge for parodying you)
j_blogs: most interesting to me is that the article look on 'cane toad' as being a certain fixed species with a fixed length of leg, and doesn't consider the dormant faculty to evolve longer legs to be a pre-existing part of the species due to previous evolution ... it's a point of view thing, not a factual accuracy thing
j_blogs: ie, this 'evolution' is natural selection from within the existing genome, methinks, not the toads getting new dna from mutagens ..
j_blogs: There's a great sci-fi book about a dormant mars re-awakening, but amazon's search engine is shite .. mote in god's eye by poule & niven (?) is another good one
j_blogs: circa 1985-1995 for the mars story, whose author i can't even remember but perhaps a woman
j_blogs: kind of a spontaneous-self-terraform situation ..
seti: perhaps Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear?

coderman: "telecloning may have an exotic application: tapping quantum cryptographic channels." - aww shit, not only are they going to break pubkey systems, but they are going to fuck the very quantum key distribution channels we replaced them with! (hehehe)
