While there are other shells available for windows in theory, I've never gotten another shell to work well enough to actually take the place of explorer... I tried Litestep and really liked it, except that there were dozens of apps that wouldn't run under litestep, like nero or powerdvd, and it crashed even more often than explorer does.
I used to work at Best Buy...you'd occasionally see stuff tagged in the store at a penny because it had been on clearance for so long that they just wanted to get rid of the product.
This was definatly not a case of a item on clearence. It was only listed at a penny on the website for about half an hour. After that, the price went back up to $60 (the price had already been corrected by the time I was told about it).

A friend of mine came across a typo on the BestBuy website once. They were listing 5-port ethernet switches for $0.01. He ordered 10 of them, as did a coworker of his. Neither actually expected to get the switches, but a week later, my friend got his switches, and his credit card was only charged a dime!
The point is that it really depends on who you ask. I've had the misfortune to meet people who would consider shows like "NYPD Blue" to be porn. What happens if one of these people gets in a position on authority on this hypothetical 'porn agency'?
Actually, you have to say, "put me *on* your do-not-call list." If you say "take me off your list" all that they do is take you off the list they have in front of them at that moment. They'll have a new list tomorrow and your name will be on it.
Yes, it does. The rule reads, word for word (emphasis mine):
"It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States to make any call (other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with the prior express consent of the called party) using any automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice"
"The term 'automatic telephone dialing system' means equipment which has the capacity to store or produce telephone numbers to be called, using a random or sequential number generator; and to dial such numbers."
That's exactly what's out there. There are some pretty good DivX encoded rips available on your filesharing app of choice. With the reencoding, the entire movie supposedly fits on 2 cds.
Maybe, just maybe, nature was set in motion by someone who really wanted to see Moses get across and the Egyptians get destroyed?
Not to mention the *entire* Minoan civilization.... You'd think a kind and loving god would have found a less destructive way for the Israelites to escape...

You realize that such a device would never work... The heat from the combustion would melt the ball before it ever left the barrel. Or it would be pulverized by the force needed to propel it that far.
Combat tactics (used by a lot of teams with combat-trained members) didn't fare well in paintball and I'm sure paintball tactics wouldn't work well on a battlefield.
Yeah. I've observed that people with actual firearms training tend to be really bad at paintball their first few times out. A paintball gun (marker) is just too different for any skills to transfer well...
The two factions don't mix well at all (rec players usually dislike tournament players etc)
How many tournament players aren't rec players too? Don't most teams practice at their local field with rec players? Thats what I've seen anyway...
The do, but that doesn't mean the rec players like it... I hate playing against tournament players. They ones I've met have all been jerks who routinely ignore field speed limits...

My component DVD player doesn't have a USB port.
And we liked it! We liked it alot!
Hell, I just bought the laserdiscs. Problem solved.
Sensors go bad more often than you think
Yeah. Right after the warranty expires.

You're one of those wackos who think that vinyl sounds "better" than a CD, aren't you?

Kinda like Linda Branagan, eh?
I don't see a lot of porn on NBC...

At my office we routinely follow steps 1-3. However, when we reach step 4, 99% of the telemarketers have already hung up.
Sorry, I quoted that off an anti-telemarketing webpage, which didn't include that last part...

The way I look at it is that we may have bad feelings about drug dealers, but we sure do like them drugs.

As a US citizen crossing between the US and Canada, you need two things:
Perhaps legally, but this is not true in practice. I have crossed the US/Canada border several times without ever once presenting proof of citizenship
And I believe the correct quote is, "All science is either physics or stamp collecting."
That would slow the paintball significantly, and would give it an even more unpredictable trajectory...

Your analogy only works if the Ford Festiva sold for about $50k...
