Yes.. burnout comes from not having a comfy chair. And while you're up, could you get me a few Dews, plug in my iPod, and massage my feet while you're at it?
Quit being a whiny pansy and get back to work.
Just kidding. Burnout is more of your lack of mental ability to cope with whats going on around you than what is actually going on around you.
Anyways.. gotta run, my Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is acting up again.
Go ahead, use the RFID cards. I use wireless networks all the time for my banking/purchasing needs and WEP encryption handles it just fine. Sometimes I do it over unencrypted networks just to feel like I'm living life on the wild side. I just have to buy when my punk neighbor kids are around or I'm at work or in the airport. WEP is perfectly unbreakable. And so what? Even if someone does get my number, I have a really good fraud protection system with my card. I've only had to declare bankruptcy twice.
I can't wait for these new RFID chips... Because no one knows how to use them or what they mean anyway.
Note: I'm kidding.
Its one thing to present a choice between security and convenience and have a whole bunch of suckers take the easy way (aka personal responsibility, ignorance is no excuse), but its another thing when that right to choose is taken away (remember Sony DRM?).
Hey, if I help out.... Can I get it for free? My imaginary OC-192 is getting a tad slow and my imaginary income won't allow me to feed my imaginary family and get a 2nd 192.
People seem to be forgetting that the Gates Foundation has already given away over $13B- which does not include the personal contributions he's made.
His business practice might have been shady at some points (as per the anti-Microsoft viewpoint of most/. readers it seems), but he, despite physical appearance, is not the character Gary Winston from "Antitrust".
I have some plastics that change shape with temperature. Its called melting?
All kidding aside.. think of the uses this might have in other fields.
Security- don't want someone opening your door? heat a blob and it keeps it closed. Theme parks- Ever-changing water slides on hot days! PC's- Talk about modding!
I find this semi-completely asinine... Getting a workout playing virtual tennis? Save yourself the cash! Why not find a buddy and go to the court in the local park?
That being said, I know there are circumstance where the virtual version might be more beneficial- such as here in New York come winter (8 months of the year), physical disabilities (this could be a good way for rehab patients to workout), etc- but seriously... thats not the majority of people who play this. And the majority probably won't play in workout mode. Oh well. Great compromise Nintendo.
I didn't say that these men were saints. They were however (for the most part) men of upright character guided by more than just social norms. Its quite remarkable that Franklin, the least religious of the bunch, suggested what he did.
And I much prefer this method of civilized discussion than then the scurrilousness of others.
It would also be notable to see that Article 11 was revoked 8 years later.
Joel Barlow, the sole translator (and an Atheist), copied over the document from Arabic to English. And yet why is it that that statement doesn't appear in the Arabic version?
Think about what you read. Its not always the truth.
Washington, ironically, was Episcopalian, the American sect of Anglicanism- the very religion of the country he was fighting against. Jefferson shared beliefs with Protestants, Deists, and Episcopalians, so he was hardly separationalistic in his beliefs Franklin was very lax in what he believed, since he didn't practice and besides some public retorts, did not delve frequently into religion. Madison was Episcopalian Hamilton Presbyterian and John Adams Congregationalist/Unitarian
There are many denominations to the label "Christian", from faith-healing hippies to Catholics. True Christianity is not about religion or rites or good works. Its about having a relationship with God, who sent His Son to die for us. How people describe Christians- ruthless, conniving, hypocritical, immoral- thats not what Christianity is, or should be, about.
I find it quite humorous in a sad way, that people proclaim the pluralistic virtues of America, and how we need to be tolerant to all religions-
Except the one which set the foundation for America to have those beliefs. Christians are fair game, no?

I think calling them all Deists would be like saying all Americans now are Atheists.
I go to a technical school and get called a nerd by the Liberal Arts majors. They still use a Dell Inspiron 8100 to type up their thesis.
And populate myspace, but thats it. Not all of America is addicted to the computer. Just like our generation is less addicted to coffee and alcoholism (heh)... And there's a lot to be said about coffee ruining one's grip on reality.
Hehe.. I remember at a place called Bugaboo Steakhouse they have a really dumb song, but bring out this gorgeous triple fudge cake laced with chocolate syrup.
The catch? You had to kiss a big moose puppet. So you get to die from a transmitted disease, but at least you die with the best cake in the world in your stomach.
Outback Steakhouse. Will this extend to their restaurants as well? I always wondered why they had their own Happy Birthday song... And by the way, its illegal to sing Happy Birthday here in the US as a performance piece or make a recording of it, if I remember correctly.
Correct.. and none have been proven, correct? By theory I mean a scientific proposal not proven to be true. Which also means that it has not been proven untrue. My college physics teacher once told me that it takes more faith to believe in Evolution than anything else. I try to raise the point that I don't like to be told what is "truth" by a group of people who make it their life's goal to prove what they believe is true to be true. I'm sure 99% of you would say the same thing with ID in mind. Therefore, don't get on my case when I raise that point when you don't even know what side of the line I stand!
Hence the reason why I did not claim to support one theory over another. I am not a self-proclaimed expert in this field- however I just wanted to emphasize that I don't like being told what truth is when it has not been proven either way. The same goes for ID vs Evolution. There are many people who even deny both sides of that coin. You say that there is a push to get Evolution out of the classroom- but that is a small minority of whats actually going on. Schools where I live would never ever even consider using ID in textbooks- and yet there are many more instances that seem to prove ID over Evolution than no-global-warming over global-warming.
Its an interesting debate that makes me long for the day when we find out the "winner". Hopefully we won't all be dead before that point.
This whole argument is based on the highly-attested theory that global warming is in fact occurring. There's numerous evidence that global warming is a fallacy. I'm not saying which side is correct, but basing this theory on another theory (which may or may not be true) is not a wise idea.

Exactly... My dog could tell the difference between Windows and Lindows.
pssh... I know, right? When I was 10, I could tell the difference between DOS 4.0 and 5.0 (Not quite up to Windows yet though.)

Correct. Studios should be more "hung up" on Game Downloads. (Think all of the NFS series and HL/HL2+episodes).

Actually no, /. doesn't notify of replies by Anonymous Cowards with -1 modding. Ignorance is bliss, no?
Replying with propaganda is proof?

Well I got cellophane glasses out of a cereal box that work just fine! Results are debatable, but Alyx sure looks fine in Red/Blue.
