National Endowment for the Arts to divert all funds to "Firefly" related causes.

Military research efforts to be redirected into giant fighting robot areas.

President must now roll a twenty to invade a soveriegn nation.

Speaking of Obama's living situation, I read the most shamefully stupid letter to the editor in a local paper yesterday, calling for Obama - like a recently elected municipal politician here - to take a public transit bus to work.

HIS OFFICE AND HIS LIVING QUARTERS ARE IN THE SAME F*CKING BUILDING, YOU ABSOLUTE DUMBF*CK! THE PRESIDENT LIVES IN THE WHITE HOUSE! He doesn't need to take a bus unless they literally have a bus from the living quarters to the West Wing, which would be overkill, don't you think?!

/I was reading this paper in Starbucks, and I literally put my head in my hands for about two minutes, just staggered by the idiocy and the fact that someone let it be printed. Unless it is the driest wit in the guise of a badly written letter to the editor I have ever, ever seen.

I saw Obama's face on a piece of toast a Denny's last week. Keep watching for it on Ebay.

My kind are horrible liars and you can not get elected President without being a liar of astronomical proportions.

The magic turban he got in Indonesia enchants him to appear as a Lawful Good level 12 Constitutional Scholar with seven levels in Politician to everyone without true seeing and gives him +10 to all charisma rolls. He's actual a level 8 Terrorist Muslin. They can't usually use that particular magic item but he's black so he gets the Affirmative Action ability.

Hmm.. does anyone else think it could be fun to make a D&D campaign based on American Politics? It could be called Closets and Corruption, as befits a cross-section of Washington.

He can't be a geek, he's been laid.

Wonder which 40k army he plays, though. I could see him inviting over several world leaders, pulling out a few boards, and going a full six rounds with them for a DC Rogue Trader.

I guess I'm a Johnny-come-lately. I arrived at the party in '89, and I couldn't care less what that kernel is doing, unless I bite into an unpopped one at the bottom of the bag.

Ah yes, and Ron Paul has all gold armor that can cast Mage spells relating to invisible hands.

Rudy Giuliani is already a ghoul. He just is. Nobody launches their presidential campaign on a mass grave that they themselves tried to get shipped out of the way before the bodies were even sorted. Farking ghoul. Sarah Palin as a ranger, I could only see that if she was Belkar from OoTS. Part Barbarian, imposibly low WIS. Or maybe some kind of obscure Village Idiot NPC class.

I remember during the primaries John McCain was determined to be some kind of venerable warrior with charisma as his dump stat.

Cheney's an archfiend. Bush is a.. I'm not really sure what's offensive enough to label him at this point.

Falcc: offensive enough to label him at this point.

Bush is just an NPC
The incompetent heir to the thrown that is slowly destroying the kingdom.
Bush will send you on quests where you'll gain experience....but they are really just side quests that don't accomplish anything.

So he's a low level noble? He must have one level in merchant to have failed in all those oil companies. How did he manage to get such low stats in everything though? Did he just piss off the DM or something? Has Cheney been draining his levels all this time?

True but he was commenting that he really didn't care about the kernel. If that is the case he was talking about gnu, which predates the linux kernel by a bit.

Nah, I can see him playing Marines, but probably more Imp Guard. Maybe Tau for a few tournaments though, go between the two armies to test them out.

And see what his arena ratings are.

A natural twenty I might add.

If I had to place money, I'd say he'd play a female Draenei Shaman.

Bush plays a male Orc Hunter.

Biden plays a male Gnome Warlock.

Ron Paul plays a female Dwarf Priest.

Cheney plays a male Forsaken Warlock.

Pelosi plays a female Human Warrior.

Blaegovich plays a female Tauren Druid.

and of course, Gulliani plays Haggle. The leper gnome from the Deeprun Tram.

Yes, geeks have wives. That's one of the things that separates them from nerds and dorks.

"A geek is someone who has the knowledge of the geeky type stuff and has social graces," Blum said. "A nerd is someone who has the knowledge but not the social graces and a dork is someone who has neither

"I'm a geek because I'm a dad," Blum said. "I managed to find a woman who wished to marry me and have children with me."

this author is full of shiit. he's a geek because he found someone to marry him?? odds are, if he wasn't making the dollars he'd still be single and therefore be pigenholed as a nerd or dork. a woman's primary goal is to find a provider so she can have kids. and the more a guy can 'provide', the more likely she'll be 'interested' in him. ain't capitalism great?
this guy is deluding himself. if he wasn't writing for AP he'd probably be living in his parents basement.

memory management?? with memory as cheap as it is, just get some friggin' memory. stop wasting your time. you can get 4GB of DDR2 for 40/50 bucks.

FTFA-- "As a youngster, Obama collected Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comic books."


This I like. I hope he learns his foreign policy from Conan.


"Mr. President, what is good?"

Obama's reply, "To crush your enemies, have them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the women."

Linux_Yes: memory management?? with memory as cheap as it is, just get some friggin' memory. stop wasting your time. you can get 4GB of DDR2 for 40/50 bucks.

The memory management I was referring to is the portion of the kernel responsible for loading executables into RAM, organizing them, handling their requests for more heap space, tracking what memory they release, and cleaning up after them when they finish executing. Never mind handling shared memory areas for IPC, forked children and the like. And of course, virtual memory and paging to disk is important too.

How much RAM you have is utterly irrelevant if your OS doesn't organize running processes efficiently in memory.
