Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Katamari that weird video game where you roll up a bigger and bigger ball of stuff until you end up absorbing everything?
Yes it is. A big glorious ball. A big glorious beautiful ball to turn into a star to decorate the sky which looks much too plain. Start rolling young prince. And please ignore my crotch bulge.
Yeah I always thought they looked like some kind of giant kid's toy, or a big cup of hot coffee. A cooling tower is one of the least scary looking pieces of large industrial equipment.
Big diesel generators look a lot more intimidating with their huge plume of mirage-hot air rushing out, but I think they look kinda badass, like some kind of giant CPU heatsink from hell or a doomsday machine warming up.
It was about 6 months ago for me, although I spend most of my time in a place where the handicapped mostly can't afford cars. In North America whenever I see a handicap spot legitimately used (tag visible in car), most of the time it's a van with a wheelchair ramp.
Oh they did use those arguments, and I thought the same thing until I saw handicapped people (on this forum IIRC) explaining why that episode of bullshit, was bullshit, full of misleading arguments (you can't really get a handicap parking permit if you have "trouble managing money" or most of those other silly-sounding conditions), using the example of a lawsuit-happy individual as a scare tactic, and using someone with a relatively minor handicap as an example of why parking spots and ramps aren't so necessary.
Good point, I can't see MS having a stake in this. Unless they just don't want to give any more motivation to switch to more energy-efficient OSes and CPU architectures:-P
To this day various science denialists claim that "smoking was thought to be HEALTHY until like the '80s! And look what happened!" when in fact it was known to be unhealthy since before WW2 and was never considered healthy by mainstream science.
Public perception does, at least among those who know what Anonymous is. By definition an Anonymous operation must allow unrestricted participation. Likewise if someone calls a protest a sit-in while it doesn't block access to anything, nobody's going to buy it.
Probably because you don't have a vagina for anyone to shove the side of their hand into. Our dicks aren't so sensitive (esp. when soft) and frankly we're not so picky about who touches them. I guess the best man-analogy would be if the TSA agent nearly touched your anal sphincter. Did it clamp shut just now? Good, then it worked.
Including how global warming still appears quite questionable in the late 2000s and how laws mandating handicap access are bad because LIBERTARIANISM FTMFW!!!
Still the images that come out aren't much to look at. I think even high school boys would be bored by nudie scanner output. If this is how TSA officers get off that's pretty sad.
Apple's UDID is at least as permanent as a mobo serial, even a MAC address is much less personal and easy to change. It's device-unique and can't be changed, I'd say it's quite fair to call it personal info.
Almost all of the "privacy leaking" was simply apps capturing device ID's (UDID), which is routine piece of data collected for issue resolution, and isn't "privacy" any more than a web server logging your IP address is violating your privacy.
Bad analogy, an IP only identifies a particular internet connection, and if you have a dynamic IP that doesn't even mean much. The iShiny's UUID is more like the mobo serial number on a PC.

It's safe to assume he at least has laser-armed, ill-tempered sea bass.

To seek out new junk and trash constellations, to boldly clean where no man has cleaned before...
I hope you're joking. That would be like saying that a classroom full of flying spitballs is safer from cannon fire.

That was quick, seems like just yesterday I was reading the launch announcement.

Since the sources in TFA are being slashdotted, I did a Google search for "heartland institute leak" to find other sources.
First Google ad? RSA Data Loss Prevention XD

It's also shown that The Anonymous Donor gave over $1.6m in 2010 and nearly $1m in 2012. For comparison, the Koch Bros. donations for 2011? $200k 8-(
I think he probably *is* petting a cat in his volcano base.

Oh, and just in case you want to save yourself the effort of re-reproducing the effort:

The Sears catalogue is way better than a nudie scanner image IMO.

I assume your $15k 2-seater looks something like this?
That's gonna take a lot of time and fuel stops to get where you're going, and you can forget any ocean crossings.

Don't forget the Nookie Surveillance Agency.

Some PC games will scrape your browser history, such as NFS:Shift. They'll actually use it to adjust the in-game advertising.
I think the first tethering app disguised as a flashlight app did that, doesn't seem to have dissuaded the sheep.
