I save the box/packaging for any medium/large electronic device I buy. Or usually any expensive ones also. However, I probably move more than most people.
I know I kept the box for the ipad, but I couldn't tell you where it was. I would guess inside the box for my TV, with all the other smaller boxes. The people posting that this isn't "normal" are just being assholes. You don't get to decide what is normal and what isn't on things like this that don't matter and don't affect anyone else. And don't give me any bullshit about recycling cardboard....if it is sitting in my empty closet then it isn't sitting in a landfill.
but that may just be because they come out of the woodwork when you talk about our great southern land in some way.
I learned an internet lesson once in the ingame chat of a video game. Do NOT talk about cars with Aussies. You will unintentionally and severely insult them somehow. It is bound to happen. Fun for a while, but I eventually got tired of googling the insults that I didn't understand.
What kicked the whole thing off was me saying that the new Camaro was basically a Vauxhall. Kaboom. "Only (string of expletives removed) Pommies call it a Vauxhall". I didn't know what pommie meant until that day, I am American.....but then I made the mistake of saying that it seemed to make more sense to me for Aussies to be called poms considering the history of Australia.
Because they are greedy bastards who want to force people to play online so they can use their RMAH
That is absolutely why. So many things come along with that RMAH, and most of them are the main things that people don't like about the game. But they don't care. I have no doubt that thought was put into "how much money will we make by putting in the RMAH and doing all these things, and how many sales will we lose by doing that?" I am sure it was a very easy call.
I am bored with it, I don't enjoy grinding so I don't really play anymore. Every now and then a friend and I will play hardcore until one of us dies. Oh well, I got $60 of enjoyment out of it....time to wait for torchlight 2.
Yeah, I gotta agree with this. I think those Conway Twitty gags are hilarious.
Well before family guy existed there was an infomercial for some country and western hits compilation and his song "You've never been this far before" was on it. They showed him singing it, and it remains one of the creepiest things I have ever seen in my life. An OLD man, eyes closed singing a song about taking someone's virginity. I always wondered if that was the seed of the gag.
An aside....does anyone (some of them are probably posting in here) know any young people that watch the show, love it, and get almost NONE of the references the jokes are making?
They routinely make fun of themselves for how much they will drive a joke into the ground. IMO the entire chicken fight stuff is them laughing at themselves for just how far they will go with that.
I don't dislike the show, but it's well down on the list.
What comments do you read here? The US is routinely bashed in the comments section. There is an anti-American post worked in to just about every story here. It's almost to the point of being a meme.
"Hey kids, there is a computer for each of you in the room. There's a router and some network cable too. Some of the computers won't come on, some won't be able to get on the network. The sound won't work on some. If you can get every one working you can play games for X minutes Y times week."
I am sure there are developed strictly for education applications that can be put in the mix.....but I learned so much about computers being in pretty much that situation (not in a classroom, and once we got everyone's computers working and on the network we just played games until we collapsed)
Are you saying that improvements should be held back because it cost too much? If nothing is ever introduced because of that, many improvements would never have adopted.
Don't disagree with you, but it does happen. Shining example being the metric system still hasn't been adopted in the US across the board.
Didn't he? I recognize (because I have to do this too) a bit of the old 'no, you can't do that..or we have a workaround for it..and I will obliquely say that, but not come right out and do so....because you haven't signed a contract yet' (I admit to not having RTFA).
Yeah...there are arguments to be made that we don't need it,,,and it does have that nasty habit of suffocating it's pilots....but calling it a debacle is a bit strong. It does exactly what it was designed to do.
In wargames, it's always the raptors on blue and everyone else on red. And the raptors mop the floor up with the red team. Apparently some pilots of other planes feel that it is quite an accomplishment to even see/get a lock on a Raptor. Most of the time, you just get informed that you are dead and you never see anything.
As an air superiority fighter, it is nowhere near a "debacle". Do we need it? Is it worth what we spent on it? I guess there is plenty of room for argument there...

And I thought Daniel Tosh invented the Gaddafi...
hehe...if you like taking turns you will LOVE endless turns...err space.
siri "What can I help you with"
me: "we've been over this already siri, you can't help me"
Never ever use it. If it works for someone else then fantastic. It is useless to me.

It's a witch!!!!
This has been going around for a while. You have probably seen it before.
I watched about 5 episodes of TNG on BBC America yesterday waiting for it to get dark. Neutrinos seem so solve a lot of plot issues.

"Booting to Linux and running Diablo III in wine is not at all what I meant when I asked for half and half"
a swing and a miss
They just need better joke balls.

That was tic tac toe. How about a nice game of chess?

Yeah, it doesn't make sense that Iran would kill them in public either. They would just disappear if they wanted them gone.
Like this.

actually go ahead and purchase that online without (g)oing to your doctor/pharmacist
I did that. In case anyone thinks of following your advice I can answer for you. They will tell you not to do it.
yeah, wouldn't it be awesome if fairy tales were true?
I use savage as a term of endearment for my close friends...but mucksavage......I like it.

Let Fetish Airways handle you from screening to landing in that special way you like.
