but I thought the only way to lose a war was by having insufficient will to win it.
this is just like that episode of star trek where Kirk and Spock had sex in front of the computer while claiming they were being heterosexual in order to cause it to go into a logical loop, breakdown, and thereby prevent its evil plans of conquest.
"When I read that line, I took it as a big hint that none of them had actually read what was being protested."
See, I took it as a big hint they were very concerned about communicating to others in the room that they were appropriately horrified about the things they were hearing.
Xree Multiple knew he would die today and be reborn yesterday, although the technology of time-travel based resurrection was beyond his clone mentality he very much was into the doing of it. He would need to carry some things in his own, he put the twin fish socks in the sock bag, the grilled partonomic nomynim generator in his genes, and the superfluid jet in his jetpack. Now he was god to do.
Xree Multiple did.
-apologies for anti-clonist statement, some of my best friends are clones, but it doesn't get past the fact that a lot of clones are just creepy. My army of clones feels the same way, so respect our feelings on the matter.
Faerie skin is materially indistinguishable from velvet.
Her neck was like bottles of wine and otters, in that if you removed the top you could drink something red from it.
ok so anyway, how did this ever get published? And how did it get republished?
Exactly what are you a Dr. of, Dr. Hackenbush?!?
A tank comes driving out of a war torn landscape, explosions can be heard in the distance. The hatch pops open and a the claymation tank driver puts his head up:
Well Hello folks, its me, Commando Gary.
Hah ha, I guess you know what time of year it is. That's right, ZombiePocalypse!
And pretty soon you'll be getting a visit from everyone's favorite brain-chewer, Zombie Phil Dick.
But did you ever ask yourself where Zombie Phil Dick came from, and how he got his powers?
Commando Gary shines his flashlight upwards in his face to cast an eerie shadow.
Well that's a story worth telling, so go get yourselves a cup of warm cocoa and a baseball bat. And sit in the dark by the door while I tell it.
"But then there could be a sacred green cat named Mota living on Mars, too. Prove there isn't!"
I used to be an interplanetary assassin for the Ylluminati. I killed that cat.
Man, Obama sure fills out those slacks nice don't he.
Well here's my bet, I pay 5 to 1 that if McCain is elected (with Palin as VP), that Palin will be President. I am willing to even bet within a short time line afterwords. What do I base this bet on? That he looks pretty unwell, he is at an advanced age, has suffered bad cancers, and finally it has been seen often in history that when an ill or dying person achieves some major goal they have been striving for, especially if it is a life-long goal, they die soon afterwords.
If McCain wins, Palin will be President - barring something happening to her.
actually I was thinking about writing something with a game of piss poker in it.
"When Baldacci is on fire, no one can touch him."
wow, that's sort of a fucked up super power. What happens if he's on fire and he touches you?
"I assume they were paying in some way that gave the botnet owners an incentive to maximize the size and effectiveness of the attacks."
immunity from prosecution might be a good incentive.
Serge: You gotta admit elements one through four were pretty cool though.
ok, anyway. I think it would be fun to write one of these just for the parts where you get to totally fuck up what everybody knows about history and laws and all that silly stuff that people don't care about. So you could have rules like the no applesauce rule for presidential succession.
So they´re talking about the president is kidnapped and the vice president needs to take over the chief of staff says whoa hold on the president is kidnapped when did this happened and the other guy who is younger and always seems like he's gonna sweat any second now says right after he ate his applesauce and then it turns out there was a 'no applesauce' rule of presidential succession because of fear of german infiltration during World War 2 and nobody ever took that rule off the books because of typical governmental incompetence and now the president is gonna die or something.
yep that would be pretty good.
the reason why fundies would come out to vote against the antichrist is not because they want to keep the rapture from coming, but rather because they want to signify that they are on the good side and thus deserving of being saved and brought up in the rapture. This would be the same reason of course for any of them to come out and bomb Obama supporters or to shoot the candidate, because by doing so they are fighting against evil.
If they succeed in this fight it is paradoxically not a defeat just as it is not a defeat to drown an old woman hoping to see a witch float.
Therefore it is my opinion that this is not just a get out the vote campaign it is a motivate the crazies campaign.
Serge @ 56: "Monaco invades Belgium!"
That's Monocle invades Belgium.
yeah, basically I think ACL based security is a reasonable way to do security on any network where you know every user and your main security concern is not really users doing diabolical things to damage computers (although this is of course a concern) but that users not access documents that they shouldn't, for example the list of people to fire at the end of the month.
for a distributed system where almost of your users are anonymous? Not so reasonable.
