I know, right?! How much easier would life be if we could just placidly accept our politicians' decisions? Trying to keep tabs on all the potential and actual corruption and abuses of power is just too much work!
If I wanted to be social, I would...go to a gym... go to a bookstore...
Sadly, I know people who do this. While I'm aware that many gyms do have "multiplayer" sports equipment (basketball, racquetball, squash courts etc), and bookstores do have chairs/couches next to each other, it strikes me that, for the most part, socializing is not really the primary purpose of the establishment. Especially a bookstore. To each their own, I guess, right? Except, of course, for those people that want to socialize using video games, they're the ones "doing it wrong"!
Apple stopped firmware updates for iPhone2G (edge). It is blocked at iOS313, forever. So, iPhone2G misses a lot of security updates. The old edge iPhone is really full of holes. And nobody will secure it. Steve, please, help !!
You appear to have not purchased a new iPhone in over two whole years. I don't know what backwoods, 3rd world nation you come from that you expect the most expensive phone you've ever purchased to last more than two years, but you are obviously not our target demographic. Thank you for your money, and please return to us when you are willing to follow our clearly laid out expectations for making new purchases/upgrades. Cheers! Steve J.
I know nothing of her campaign team, so I don't know if they would be this smart, but the fact stands that we're now reading a story about Meg Whitman.
Trust me, if you live in California and spend any time: watching TV, listening to the radio, reading the newspaper, visiting websites of California news media, or even just going outside, you are already sick of hearing about Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown.
LOLwut? You bought and played like 3 of their games, then admitted that you hadn't even tried "not even once" their most popular franchise, in WoW. Did you even try Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, or Starcraft 2!?! I guess we should interpret your list more as a statement of how cheap/poor you became from 1999 on. Invested heavily in dotcoms, did we?
Sounds like its time to find a new social media website.
With all the privacy-disregarding crap that Facebook has put you through over the years, you're going to jump ship over a potential Apple buyout?!? The mind - it boggles.
Look, it's an extra technology that improves movie for those that like the 3-D effect. It doesn't affect the quality of the movie. Good and bad movies will still be made. It's weird that here on slashdot, a news for nerd site, people are so much against emerging technologies.
Wrong.
Scenes are added to even the very best 3D movie to do nothing but show off the 3D effect. When viewed in 2D (and often in 3D actually) they end up looking truely awful, and serving to do nothing but ruin immersion and make you remember you're in a cinema.
This. Also, the director will always avoid partial objects in the foreground (no one wants a fuzzy half of a face jumping out at them). In my opinion, what is lost (artistic ability/license) is far greater than what is gained (axes/bullets/spears appearing to fly directly at me). I thought Avatar was visually breathtaking, but the likelihood of the shooting of 'Riddles in the Dark' being hamstrung by 3D "aesthetic requirements" is pretty fucking disappointing.
Here's what I could find. Apparently it was built by Drakus, in Dimension X, and then stolen by Krang. There are no details on how Krang transported it to Earth, though.
They can port their number to a cell phone, and keep it as long as they like.
Unfortunately, both parents have established cell phone numbers that they don't want to give up.
Port the number to a 3rd PrePaid cell phone. They can keep the generic ($20) handset in the same physical location where the landline handset was, if they want. Charge up the prepaid account with minutes as needed.
That is badass! I wish something like this could be done with the MacBook Air. I'm in love with mine - unfortunately, Apple hasn't updated it in forever. If there was a service out there to help folks with MBAs, I'm sure there would be a long line of people.
Heck, I'm even willing to shell out 5k for a powerful MBA, but oh well.
Ye gods! Apple came out with the 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo Mac Book Air on June 8, 2009. "Forever" is 16 months for you? What kind of culture hath Apple wrought?!!? Oh, right...
As someone up above posted, that's still only 1 hour, 18 minutes per month. That doesn't seem like much... but then I start to consider that probably a small fraction actually plays online games...
I think it also depends on whether the respondents who play Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc. classified their time spent on those games as Online Games or Social Network. I definitely have a hard time imagining 1hr 18min/month average with all the Facebook games thrown in.

I like my phone to be a phone.
there's an app for that!
Not a very reliable one, though. I think it's still in beta.
Quite frankly, it sounds exhausting.

what is an s-word ?
Sabre!!
as an Armenian, i say we coin the word ARMANIA, and define it as...
Unfortunately, the word is already understood to mean, "the sweeping trend to compulsively talk like a pirate".
Looks like someone is trying to take the crown from BadAnalogyGuy.
This is a coding error. They just need to change the select from touch begin to touch end and maybe add a next button to take you to the next screen.
To keep it simpler, they could just move the Language Select buttons away from where the Candidate Select buttons will be.
Apple stopped firmware updates for iPhone2G (edge). It is blocked at iOS313, forever.
So, iPhone2G misses a lot of security updates. The old edge iPhone is really full of holes.
And nobody will secure it.
Steve, please, help !!

What a difference a character can make.
Especially when that character is wearing a tutu!
Well, its not just allergies, but all kinds of things including neurological issues like nervous ticks are transmittable well.
[citation neede-- sorry about that, it's just this nervous tick I developed after reading your post. :-P

AND ITS ALL DUDES! what benefit does 3D have if i dont get any 3D boobies?
I'm pretty sure Bombour will be at least a D-cup...

There is a lot of volume in space.
I believe this is what you meant to say.
