Apparently, you have no sense of US History. I won't explain any further than that, because the reason for both Mid-Atlantic and Midwest should be obvious from a rudimentary knowledge of history and language. Yet another blatant Flamebait comment that got rated as Insightful.
Remember, don't try because that means that "tomorrow's really yesterday". All the poor decisions you made yesterday, you'll continue to make tomorrow.
Only if you didn't take care of them. And you should still get oil changes every 3000 miles. I doubt your car will last long only being serviced once every year or two. Back in the day anyone could repair their own car with a little know how. Today's cars are heavily dependent on computers and electronics. They're getting less mechanical every year, that makes them more complicated to fix. I had a 1984 Caprice Classic that I got used in 1991, never once broke down on me. I gave it to my brother-in-law in 2000 and he didn't take care of it and it went down the shitter.
That was a play on this. A poor attempt at a joke I suppose. And I know teenagers aren't all fools. I never said that they were. I was one not too long ago.
But seriously, folks... 5200? How about 2600? I still have my Apple IIe that I bought a kit for and "upgraded" to a IIc. Heh, what a ridiculous increase that would be in today's world. I think an NES would get the kiddies interested. You could demo a game or two.
I thought this had already happened a while ago. I remember walking through WalMart they other day and seeing a DVD player for around $70 and thinking of how affordable they have gotten. They technology is more reliable, I'd even say that for VCRs made recently. I still can't believe my PS2 still plays DVDs after 4 years. And it's been shipped halfway around the world, been left on for days, manhandled by my children, etc. I guess while "they don't make them like they used to" is true for cars, it doesn't apply to high-tech items.
Kudos to being on slashdot at age 16-17, but please tell me that you're really some creepy old guy or a dog posing as a teenager. I don't think I can take the fact that some born in 1989 is posting on slashdot. And seriously, you should do everything you can to erase all links between your online persona and your real one. Have two, it's fun. You can be careful what you say with your real one, and do what you like with the other.
On the internet, no one should know you're a teenager.
It's called common sense. There should be no safeguards. If you're stupid enough to blab to the world about drunken panty raids then you deserve the consequences. As for the sexual predator thing, well, you have to educate your children about the danger and make sure they never meet anyone from the internet in real life without some heavy digging and never by themselves. Besides, the person they are meeting will probably have this same issue about privacy so you can find out a lot about them. Anyway, I know others are going to say this. It is not myspace's responsibility. It is the user or the user's guardian that is ultimately responsible.
What are you talking about? Ever since I played that game I can't get enough Chupa Chupps. They're all I've thought about for the past 20 years.
What you gon' do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk? I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk, Get you love drunk off my Chupp My Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp My Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp, my lovely Chupa Chupp
Actually, I wrote an intranet site that uses this feature. For firefox, I had to use a flash hack to make it work though, so technically with a default Firefox install you can still mess with the clipboard anyway. I agree for normal internet sites there is no need though.You can also enable it through firefox advanced parameters in about:config, but I don't have the link to that information at the moment. That's ok, give me your url and I'll stop by and drop it off.
After reading my post again that last line is confusing. Revision to last sentence: what I meant was that less than 25% of users use anything beyound Outlook's basic features. Oh, and 83% of statistics are made up.
It's not the mailbox size that is causing people to use Gmail. It's the features. Gmail is simple and useful. It takes a lot more training and digging through menus to accomplish similar tasks in Gmail. The search feature is universal and reliable. If I need to find all emails related to a specific project it will take about 5 seconds in Gmail. In Outlook it would take at least 10 times that. The use of filters, labels, etc is far superior to similar functions in Outlook. They need to look beyond storage space. I'd still use Gmail even if it supplied far less storage space. In my opinion, Outlook is overkill. I doubt that many of its features are used by more than 75% of users.
Every time I see technology like this come out it makes me wonder how far we are a way from Maximum Overdrive or Runaway. With communication possible between your toaster, your Roomba, and your computer who knows what will happen if programming goes awry, or worse yet, a virus. Having your computer hooked to a network or the internet makes the concept even more interesting. How long before Fastjack taps into your home network and watches you and your wife on your security cameras? The possibilities of use and misuse are staggering. It's a brave new world out there, Timmy.
Stevie Ray Vaughn used it once at a concert. His callouses were worn down and he was bleeding on his strings, so he super-glued his fingers to act as a substitute concert. Could be a legend though.
"For Americans, three drinks was the point where the numbers no longer provided a benefit, probably because Americans are more likely to drink all of it at once and without food, rather than with meals."
I know, I know, don't feed the trolls. But you're basing that on what exactly?
"the liver can process one drink(1 glass of beer/1 shot)per hour"
That's not for everyone, only a rough standard. So you're also saying that I can have one drink an hour perpetually and I'll never have any negative health effects? Bring it on!

Hey, message me whomever you are. I'd like to add you as a friend.
Remember, don't try because that means that "tomorrow's really yesterday". All the poor decisions you made yesterday, you'll continue to make tomorrow.
What East Timorese?
I'd highly recommend Bring Back the A-Team. Here's the first part.
I was told there would be no math.
"in the past they broke down all the time."

"Pray tell...."
That was a play on this. A poor attempt at a joke I suppose. And I know teenagers aren't all fools. I never said that they were. I was one not too long ago.
You forgot the box. It's solid gold.
Why not this.

"fear of sexual predators and other unsavoury types"
Don't worry, CmdrTaco doesn't really have time to read comments anymore.

How much you want to bet there's going to be a doping controversy? Allegations of Ambien use, alcohol, rufies....
What are you talking about? Ever since I played that game I can't get enough Chupa Chupps. They're all I've thought about for the past 20 years.
What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my Chupp
My Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp, my Chupp

Yes, but can he perform calculations with nullity?

Is this from personal experience? Because I really doubt that unless you're stationed overseas.
