You must have nice parking enforcement people. I got a ticket for double parking in New York City when I pulled up beside a police officer to ask for directions to the nearest police station.
Lessie... at 150lb, that means I'd cost ~2,400,000USD to cremate in such a fashion. A quick Google search indicates that a funeral would cost ~5,000USD and cremation, ~1,000USD. Or, you could just send up a few choice bits ("He's watching us from above..." or a testicle or two [I'll leave a line to your imagination...]) and have it at that.
Seriously now...
Taking a picture of a meteor is a very difficult thing to do, taking a picture of a meteor thru a telescope is near impossible.
Have we fallen so far?
This is nothing new; I went to the Rochester Institute of Technology [accompanied by the National Technical Institute for the Deaf] and they've used vibrating beds as alarms for the deaf students for years. And pray you don't end up on a deaf floor when the fire alarms go off-- between the strobe lights, sirens and vibrations, you'd be be ready to huddle under a desk and wait for the bombs to drop.
I always thought that an item should be defined by its primary intended use (assuming that it's actually DESIGNED for its intended use...). A portable music player should be small and accessible; a mobile phone should make it easy to place calls, etc. This rather breaks down when looking at very multifunctional devices. (Netbooks would be simpler to operate [for the general user] than a laptop maybe?)
I've had a number of cases where my own work was previously published/released into the wild... and I came under fire for plagiarism based off my own work, in my own name. Never assume competence. Like checking authorship. >
The official line is that Fonera users can connect through Fonera users' connections and that non-Fonera users can pay to use it. My unit broadcasts as two points-- a private and a public. You can set access restrictions on them as well as the amount of bandwidth that's accessible from the public connection. (Down to something like a 56k connection if I recall correctly.)
And sometimes, those failures are pretty huge. I had a 20,000$ cash deposit entered in as a withdrawal once. (Thankfully, I reconfirm all balances after transactions or I would've missed the little W instead of the D on the slip...)
I'm with you on that. NES had a D-pad on the left and buttons on the right. Essentially controllers have stayed with that same design.
Totally agreed. I get so many weird looks when I play Brawl (and other stuff, but Brawl usually has the numbers to notice to comment) on the Wii because I play "backwards" with buttons on the left, directions on the right. And yes, I'm left handed.
I have the same restrictions yet, despite NetMeter indicating a total usage of about 300GB since November 1, 2008 on my system alone (4 other systems here, one of which has a lot of large graphics going back and forth), I haven't noticed any problems.
Well. Other than my discount-bin router blowing up when torrents are going at full tilt.
I work in retail and do a lot of work on watches-- many of which are absolutely filthy. The nearest readily available source of running water is a walk some three minutes away which, especially during the holiday season, is quite a walk. I for one appreciate antibacterial items that don't take water and are easy to clean up. (In my case, an alcohol-based gel.)
If I recall correctly, the traditional method of vaccinating people for smallpox was to infect them with the unpleasant-but-relatively-safe cowpox. Though that's probably a rather unusual case and I seriously doubt that's the modern method.
Well. The Z makes sense-- it's the page for the Nissan Z. Not that it's a link that inherently leaps to the mind, but if I was actually interested in the car, it's a page that's easy to remember.
I consciously refused to upgrade to 3.0-- a number of my extensions and scripts don't work right and it's incredibly ugly in my opinion. Workarounds/alternative settings exist, I'm sure... but how much are people really missing out on by refusing the updates?
The last time I went with the split-the-bill-evenly, I paid about twice as much as I consumed. I don't drink, I don't take after-dinner additions and my meat of preference is chicken. Combine bottles of wine, 5$ cups of coffee and steak entrees that cost 50% more than mine...
What kind of TV dinners are you cooking that only take one minute?
I've regularly had an 700-watt microwave go for over twenty minutes each day over the course of a 14-hour stint at the mall, and that's not even with preparing fresh foods.
The last time I've seen a meal-like item cook in a microwave was that quickly was in Taiwan, in commercial-strength microwave. (Which also took me burning my hands to get back home.)

"'Prince' Joe Eboh contacts me with a classic 419 opening letter. I decide to make him jump through a few hoops before I'm prepared to agree to his proposition, and the results are amusing AND profitable, to the tune of $80 + $49 DHL shipping, so our scammer is down a whopping total of $129"
I've had it worse-- I've deposited 10,000 in cash [mostly 20s and 100s] before and, upon reviewing my bankbook [while still standing there, thankfully] noticed that what was entered was 1,000.
Unfortunately, my bank has switched over to a new system that doesn't use bankbooks. Instead, they issue you receipts and you write in your balance like a checkbook...

Hibernation doesn't work in Vista?
I admit- I use a Dell and an HP laptop, with XP and Vista coming pre-installed on them, respectively.
On the Dell/XP, hibernation and even sleep doesn't work.
On the HP/Vista, on the other hand, hibernation works like a charm and sleep seems to crash it, necessitating a forced shutdown.
(Having said that, I'd rather use XP, if only for the fact that it doesn't have any "smart" column functionality...)

Is there any serious implementation of that XKCD comic, or even just in an imitation of what looks like computers fighting for control of a network?

Oh hey, nice to see you here. I play both as well.

For somebody who didn't keep up with this, basically, what was the response?

I sure hope those are durable goods.

Uh. If I knew how to edit or clean up a post, I'd make the above readable. >_
