Marry-go-rounds were awesome. I remember this one thing that was a pole that was about 20 feet tall and it had a metal ring about 6' in diameter at the top. Attached to the ring were lengths of chain with a tire at the end. The whole thing would spin. You would get 3 kids on 3 of the tires and them spin it as fast as you could. Then the person doing the spinning would get on the tire, and the inertia from the 3 other people would send you FLYING. My brother ALMOST got flung off of it into a nearby trampoline.
We also used to have large swings where the top bar would be ~25-30 feet off the ground so you could swing really high. Now you are lucky to find a swing that is taller than 12'.
I'd probably return it anyways and then buy a shiny new one. That way you can make a stand and play your games too, while getting a shiny new console! It's not that bad. Return your 'broken' PS3 and get and then buy a crippled one.
I'm a bitchy consumer. I don't like getting screwed and I will go out of my way to inconvienience others to make up for it.
That is crazy... You know what I saw the other day? A game that you could kill humans with assorted weapons. The gore was obscene! You could beat hookers up and kill puppies all while driving a car down the sidewalk.
What were we talking about again? Smoking? Ban it!
I don't know about you, but I usually read the instruction manual on the crapper. Most of the manuals never get read, but like a previous poster stated, it gives you something tangible with the game.
Sure, the ISP has grown, but that's on the backs of new users who don't know any better, and would think that different internet services were just that slow all the time.
Those are the customers that an ISP wants. These customers don't take alot of bandwidth and don't know when they are getting screwed, so they put up and shut up.
If you like steak, you don't want your cow to be all ripped. If you look at a cutting chart, the best meat is meat that is not excercised much. Tenderloins rarely work, and are soo tender. Rump roasts are worked thoughly, so they need to be slowly cooked to tender it up.
I would bet that the only cows on these treadmills are the dairy cows, or maybe bulls, because they have poor meat anyways.
Want to know why you can't get a credit card? Because you don't have a bank. Seriously, stop using those ghetto check cashing shops and get a bank account. Wasn't it embarrassing to tell you employer that your bank is "ACE Check Cashing"?
Don't you see. France is trying to be an innovator. By banning web 2.0, developers will have not choice but to skip right to 3.0 thus putting france ahead of the curve.
This isn't a network sniffing thing. They connect to the swarm just like any other user. Encryption is there to prevent man in the middle sniffing in an attempt to evade ISP throttling. Encryption won't help you here.
I'm wondering how they intend to process all those submissions. What if they actually do manage to book everyone in, and everyone decides to go to trial? Can they afford that? It's a pretty ballsy move. Maybe the judicial system will decide that enough is enough. Who knows? It will be interesting to watch.
It's like covering your sensors when you play lasertag. It's not a game if only one team can get hit. Unfortunately, this is not lasertag, and life isn't fair
How so? I think that this is a good idea. It can solve the chicken & egg problem we have right now with the Internet and IPv6. By starting to point equipped web traffic to IPv6 services, there is an incentive to start creating IPv6 services with the hope that one day, everything will be reachable by IPv6.
I'm not sure what you mean by the ISPs having their heads in their asses... Maybe you are referring to the lack of IPv6 availability. If so, at this point in the game, there is no point in offering IPv6 because there is nowhere to go. This may solve this. If there is something else that ISP could/should be doing, I would love to hear your ideas.
I calculated it out to 30 cents per year, where vampire =.5 watts (a href=http://www.itworld.com/green-it/58062/mobile-phone-chargers-are-energy-vampires>a poor rated charger) and electricity is 7 cents per kilowatt hour (what I pay). My clothes dryer uses that much electricity in an hour.
If you actually had read the summary, you might have noticed that this is set includes a few extra landers. The other article had only the one lander (although IMO it was a better picture because you could see the tracks clearly). I wouldn't call it a dupe.
Give it a few more days then we can call it a dupe.
I doubt it, unless you happen to be Brittney Spears, or Kae$ha or some other pop culture icon. Slashdot has many many readers and doesn't restrict you to 140 characters, a feature that also allows you to post an elegant post to describe all about the uselessness of it.
I hate the word twitter, however it is fitting I suppose. I can't wait until twitter fades away...
Not true. About a month ago they changed the map rotation. Most gametypes now only need the original Halo 3 disc without any DLC. It appears that if the game detects that all players have additional maps available, that they will be included in the rotation though.
I think that they are trying to make people really bored of Halo 3 so that when Halo: Reach comes out, people will be so sick of Halo 3 that they will hop on the new version right away.

I almost forgot about barf buckets! The one that was near my house was had a solid frame so it was a little more comfortable, but would collect puke!

They will not return it, but they will exchange it for another copy of the same movie.

It would still be wrong. The loop condition (i=10) would be FALSE when the loop is initialized. (i=1). The correct form is for(int i=1, i

You are about to be rediculed until you create a new account.
More like tax write-offs, deductions, offshore accounts and phantom headquarters.
That's right. You, I, we are all fools.
Answer: Because their apps run on windows. That's all there is to it.

Defense grid was awesome. I bought it on XBLA. Does anyone know if the new maps are available on xbox live?
