Why not Top 10? Unless I miss my guess, Top 7 == Only 7 (or at least, the only 7 that everyone remembers). But then, The Only 7 PR Disasters doesn't have the same ring to it.
I have the linked graphic set as my wallpaper. Though, at 1280x1024 resolution, it looks more like the last few minutes of the 203rd Annual Interdimensional Jellyfish Convention.
Yes, it's always very tempting to buy these things as soon as they come out. Who doesn't want their own RP-1 launch vehicle...but the real question is, do you need it right away? Historically, the rate of technological development means that the price will decrease dramatically over the next six to twelve months, making it more affordable for the average, budget-minded consumer.
Anyone remember Mario's Time Machine? No gameplay value whatsoever, but I have to say I did learn a few things here and there.
Like, who Johann Gutenberg was, and why he really needed that letter 'G' because nobody wanted Utenberg Bibles. And how to collect enough mushrooms to travel through time while riding a surfboard.
Searchles [surch-les] : To look for things (esp. on the Internet) periodically or occasionally, rather than doing so constantly, when really you should be doing something else more important.
Grouper [groh-per] : A person given to groping, i.e. feeling about in the dark for something, e.g. certain parts of someone else's anatomy, to which access is often restricted.
I knew there was an important option missing from the archrivalry poll!
YouTube all the way, baby! But only because I let GoogleFight make all my important decisions now, and it seems heavily biased in YouTube's favour. Surprising.
I just submitted this, and it got rejected and then this shows up on the front page. Interesting!
The post says "Several readers noted..." - does this mean you were one of those several? How does it work if, say, ten people submit the same story in the space of half an hour?
I was actually looking forward to seeing what comes back from the probe. But I hear Pluto is a dwarf planet...the pictures probably won't show much, since dwarves live underground.
That same year, Michael Turner, the prominent University of Chicago theorist, delivered a paper in which he called this antigravitational force "dark energy."... "It really is very different from dark matter," Turner said. "It's more energylike."
That's an educated opinion, if I've ever heard one.
The SEC said it launched an enforcement effort to protect investors from potentially fraudulent spam e-mail promoting small company stocks with phrases like, "Ready to Explode," "Ride the Bull" and "Fast Money."
Now, Fast Money I get. But if I saw the phrase "Ready to Explode" in spam, to me that would suggest something pretty far from small company stocks.
anyone Remember Borland's |"like a book" EULA? Great stuff.
I didn't remember this EULA (not surprising, since I can't recall actually having read one) so I started hunting around a bit... Googling such phrases comes up with quite a few hits. Is this a common part of EULAs?
...and does this mean every time my software closes itself for no apparent reason, I have to start reading again from the beginning?
Well, I'm not a systems integrator in real life I guess we all have our fantasy occupations...astronaut, firefighter, elven ranger. Systems integrator is just a little further down my own personal list.

For the uninitiated, that is Nothing Really Amazing in Outerspace - Alien Life My Ass.
Like that tiny area in the middle of your back, right between your shoulder blades.
You're right. What a waste.

What was the good story?

And "Ride the Bull" is something else entirely...
