Have you been to a school that doesn't monitor what you do online, or block certain sites? I would be happy to hear about it, but it would be far from the norm.
You pay for the GBA? You do know you can just emulate it for free. Free for the system, free for the roms. The one reason I *might* buy myself a Wii or DS is the lack of working emulators.
Afraid/Morally Obligated to only use legal software? Go to GameHippo.com (or one of the other thousand or so freeware sites), there are tons of free games to download - many of which you can use to edit your own new levels.
Bought the GBA because its portable? Try getting some extra use out of your laptop (with such a low User ID, I would be surprised if you didn't have one). You'll get the extra benefit of looking like you're doing something important instead of just messing around with some kid game (because, really, how many adult-oriented games are there that aren't xxx-adult?).
No, I've decided I'm not going to get on the school bus to go to the field trip. I met this awesome guy in the bathroom of the mall and I'm going with him in his car instead
...but, some of my best field trips started like that!
The only thing managers/owners I've met were worried about was imprinting their brand on happy customers. Sure they think about how any decision will affect their type of "guest" and if it meshes with the place's current image, but that doesn't go as far as "will they eat more meat if I use a pink tablecloth vs a red one?"
Since Big Oil has decided to raise the prices to triple what it was 5 years ago, I see no reason why I can't expect my auto manufacturer to attempt at least double my MPG from 5 years ago.
Who downloads ads any more? They make the internet too slow for me.
I could be wrong, but I believe your comp still downloads them, and you are still paying for that bandwidth. Adblock simply stops them from being displayed, not from existing. The only time you're saving is the few seconds you might have been tempted to swat the fly for a free iPod nano.
Yeah, I noticed that was only the old entries, as well. I was really hoping they would not only have the new entries, but that they would have entries from the future as well. Entries.
Great site, I've been on it constantly since BoingBoing showed it to me. I have a very broad taste in music, and am addicted to any site with "points" (half the reason I finally got a/. account was the ability to keep track of my comments so I could check how they did), so they basically had me at hello.
That being said, the parent forgot to point-whore himself for the site. May I profit from his mistakes! If any of you decide to sign up for TheSixtyOne, please please list "Become" as your referer.
For those of you who already play around on the site: how legal is it? Are the artists uploading their music, or am I just listening to illegal copies? Or is it, perhaps, legally safe because it is just some weird version of streaming internet radio?
Drawback? Anyone who has seen Alfred Hitchcock's prophetic masterpiece - The Birds - will back me in saying "Forget renewable energy, this is its main selling point"
...should I have gone with "It's not a bird, it's a feature"?
She realized there are problems with the other options, great!
...but...
There are a lot of problems with nuclear power as well - mainly radiation.
So to reiterate, our choices are:
1. Crazy Deformed Retarded Babies (with a small dollop of cancer)
2. Malnutrition-Deformed Retarded Babies (but, without the cancer)
Hell, sometimes they just get the wrong patient/records (take your pick).
If they get the right paperwork - they can operate on the wrong side. My mother is a nurse (30+ years), and her advice is to make sure you permanent-marker the correct area before they get you ready for your surgery.
As for leaving stuff in your sewn up body ~ it happened to my grandmother 4 times.
I guess you have underachievers, alcoholics, and newbies in every profession.
Watch it - online gamboling (much like copying protected content or circumventing copy-protection) is massively illegal in the US!
My thoughts about this (and the tech where your personal info is embedded in your legal/bought copy of movies/music) as follows.
Would you have to actually remove the watermarks? If they are designed so that they don't corrupt the media enough for you to notice/care, it should be simple to write random white-noise over the watermarked sections. Hopefully the new data would also be of very little nuisance to the viewer, while their signal would be lost in the noise. Monitoring software is useless when it no longer recognizes the watermark.
Granted, I have no clue what I'm talking about. Enlighten me, is this viable?

Maybe the editor, like the teacher, is dyslexic? It would explain a lot...
Either way, it should be "FoxFire [sic]"
I wonder if the teacher actually knew what the program was, but wasn't sure if the school's monitoring software would work with it.
If not, I'm sure the teacher could get in trouble for not making the kid use IE.
Not saying its right, just saying its a possibility.
I'm not sure what is more topical...
Effect an Effect or Eggs

The Laser movie everyone was just commenting about - Real Geniuses IIRC. They install The Voice Of God in the a$$-hat's braces.

Not directly, but their inventions sure do seem to benefit the intelligence community.

I know a guy, he can get you all the batteries you want, alike the brade of your choice, at 1/5 the price!
I think I just wet my self a little. Finally, a joke w/out all the venom everyone else seems to be spewing!
Please, do go on listing these "horrible" authors. I was just thinking I should find some new favorites.
...and they want their idea back!

Breaking News, a L33t Canadian Hacker broke into a national security site, stealing millions of Dollars worth of personal information.
No word yet on any arrests.
More at 11.
Hell, maybe he'll even invite Colbert to dinner!
