Microsoft Surface To Coordinate SuperBowl Security 218
suraj.sun writes to tell us that in preparation for nearly a quarter of a million people descending on Tampa for the Super Bowl, the Tampa authorities are deploying new tech for security communications and response. All of the incidents and communications will be plotted and tracked on a new implementation of Microsoft's Surface. Hopefully it wont have to reboot after every new incident report. "The Microsoft Surface device will display a Microsoft Virtual Earth map of the entire region tracking events, incidents, resources and tasks in real-time using its unique large display, multi-user, multi-touch and interactive capabilities, also allowing it to communicate with remote devices and PCs. With a quick hand-gesture, the map can zoom in and display a 3D image of the city, including detailed views of buildings and streets and real time resource tracking."

A problem has been detected and the Super Bowl has been shut down to protect your audience.
The problem seems to be caused by the following module: WARDROBE.DLL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NIPPLE_AREA
If this is the first time you have seen this error screen, restart the show.
If this screen appears again, follow these instructions:
Check to make sure this is not a dress rehearsal. If so, give the producers hell and consider firing the artists.

Can we please retire that joke?
Sorry, no. It's an old one but a good one.
I we're past the days of needing to reboot to change your IP address.
But we're not past the days when you need to reboot Windows for a lot of things you can do in Linux without rebooting.
Some jokes are nearly immortal, because they're just funny. One of my favorites outdates automobiles.
A braggart is in a bar, and claims he can make a horse laugh. Everyone chortles derisively, and eventually he's bet everyone in the bar a dollar that he can do it.
So he goes outside and whispers in the horse's ear, and amazingly the horse laughs its ass off. His fellow patrons are amazed and pay up, and he exclaims that he can make a horse cry!
Of course the bet is on again, so the fellow walks out and nobody can see exactly what he does, but the horse starts bawling like a baby with dirty diapers, crying its eyes out. He comes back in and collects his money.
"So, fella, how'd you make that horse laugh?" the bartender asks.
"Easy. I told him my dick was bigger than his."
"How'd you make him cry?"
"I showed him."
