I had perfect attendance in 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grade. I also won "most improved" on the intramural floor hockey in 10th grade. The Grammies have nothing on me!
compensation jumped from 45x to 500x, eh? Is that with ot without inflation?
Seriously, though, CEO compensation has historically been so high that increases are its far beyond the range of complaining. The difference between a CEO pulling in 100 million versus 500 million might be noticable to the CEO, but in relation to the average worker's salary, anything that high just gets muddied. It's like having a conversation with Einstein and all of a sudden he gets 2x smarter. Would you be able to tell?
Not to be flamebait or anything, but I think we just have to accept that someone who is blind can never get the full effect out of the web, because you can't cut out the visuals and achieve the same result. It would be like cutting out the images in a movie but wearing headphones describing what you are supposed to see. Hearing what you are supposed to see and seeing it use vastly different sense.
Yes, it sucks to be handicapped. I would imagine blindness is one of the least desirable handicaps, but at some point, we just have to accept the fact that blind people can't effectively surf the web.
I think that episode was more a parody of the movie Go. Three different intersecting stories that all start from the same point. Run Lola Run was the same story with three different outcomes.
produce better games were they to attract some top-notch game designers? Like some of those crazy designers from japan. It's nice to have realistic lighting and animation, but in the long run, playability is key. If gamers wanted reality, they would step outside
The clarity is bad enough already. Why throw more noise in the way. Aren't cell phones already kinda internet-enabled? Aren't they just p2p voice-only clients?
Fat people do it to themselves. They aren't born that way, just years of physical inactivity have rendered their bodies overweight. True, some people have a genetic predisposition to being overweight, but obesity is controllable and treatable. This isn't the same as being born black or hispanic. You can't control your skin color, but you have control over the weight of your body.
I see all these people complaining about how this kid shouldn't be gaming during a fencing tournament. How do you know this isn't commonplace? How many of you actively compete in fencing tournaments?
My ATI tv-card works pretty well under windows, being able to capture 30 fps at a good resolution. What brands of capture cards work the best with linux?
no one really has a crush on my ferret? I guess that's good, though. She's not really one for long walks on the beach or snuggling while watching movies.
That reminds me of that scene in The Critic when Jay Sherman's father was couting the number of words in each sentence, and couldn't end his sentences.
does it run kaillera? This thing would be even cooler if you could hook it up to the net to play against other people. He would win in style points alone.
Since his demonstration involves a DVD player, he should make sure not to play a movie, lest he get fined an extra $250,000 for an illegal public exhibition of a movie.
Like all college students before me, I've come to realise that the time in which food takes to cook is more of a problem than difficulty of the recipe. Over or undercook something, only to find out later that, makes it tough to get it tasty. Based on a couple years of trial and error, here are two basic methods for cooking simple and cheap foods: angel hair and rice
Angel Hair for one:
1) Fill a pot about 3/4 of the way up with cold water 2) add a pinch of salt 3) bring water to a boil, covered, over high heat 4) take about one serving of angel hair out of the box. for me, this is about 1/4 to 1/3 of the box. Break the angel hair in half. (Chefs would advise against breaking the pasta in half, but I've found pasta is less likely to stick together if broken) 5) When water comes to a boil, dump the pasta in, and let it cook uncovered for 5 minutes. 6) Strain and serve
Rice for one:
Rice is a bit tougher, since all store bought rice isn't the same, but this recipe works well for me. A serving of rice for one person is 1/2 cup. Make sure you have a heavy and relatively tight lid for the pot. If the lid has holes, or doesn't form a good seal, add up to 1/4 cup more water.
1) take a narrow pot, and add half a cup of rice to it. 2) add 3/4 a cup of water. 3) bring to boil, uncovered 4) when boiling, stir the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low 5) let it cook covered for 25 minutes. 6) serve and eat.

I like those odds!

I noticed insofar that it was generic techno music playing. There is nothing wrong with mixing movies that mix well, however.

I'm pretty close to single digits. Well I am if you round down. A lot.
I didn't mean crazy as in insane, I meant crazy as in coming up with creative ideas that we wouldn't dream of in america.

it costs money to get the liscences to rebroadcast the kinds of songs you want.
And on a side note, isn't alternative/hard rock just the "edgy" version of top40?
Maybe, but I see him as more of a Kingpin type, slowly and methodically working behind the scenes. Not to mention the similarities in body shape.

Why not get quake and a couple of bot mods? That should keep you going for a long time, at least until your battery runs out?
Alternatively, mame and some free (but illegal) roms could be pretty fun as well
