Is there any way to do stuff like that for the RSS feed? I'd like idle out of my feed but everything else included (games seems to be left out of the RSS quite often.)
Personally, I'm more interested in seeing a standalone W7 for tablet PCs.
The only way I'd buy W7 in the next 5 years is if I could get a Tablet edition that I could load and run on a tablet PC. The XP version was never standalone (and I don't know about Vista and tablets).
Laptops are often sold without enough RAM, but it really hurts a tablet. Hopefully with cheaper prices for RAM and whatnot, they could use the supposedly faster and better W7 interface combined with touch screen/tablet technology to make a decent laptop/tablet hybrid that manages its RAM better.
Perhaps we should go buy a particularly popular film on DVD - say, Bolt - but get it in a region that won't work in the States. Then give it out as a gift to Senators.
Could put a little note in there that says, "If there's any problems with getting this DVD to play, please go to [website]" where we'll have info on how regions work and why that new movie won't play for them.
The problem is that, again, as far as Sweden's laws are concerned The Pirate Bay isn't doing anything illegal.
Is it illegal in America? Yes. Does setting up a VPN service make them look worse? Yes. Will it actually affect TPB in any significant way? Probably not. Trying to shut down TPB is like trying to shut down Wikileaks.
If the day ever comes that their service is illegal in Sweden, I'm sure that they'll just move it to somewhere that doesn't give a fuck and would appreciate making tens of thousands of dollars a year off of them.
Besides, if The Pirate Bay were sued, all they'd have to do is set up a legal defense fund. They'd get the money they need in a very short time, I imagine.
You know that trend in insurance where you have to pay different amounts of money depending on what color your car is? For instance, they have some reason for associating red with going fast, etc.
I don't recall where I read this, but apparently black (and dark colored) cars aren't really liked that much by the insurance industry either - they're quite difficult to see at night, even with the lights on.
Incidentally, I wonder how much fun we could have with this sentence. Just start showing it to random people.

It's probably work on any major aside from computer sciences. I'm pretty sure most people in that field take LSL (Leet as a Second Language).
If you can get that old e-mail back, I would. My friend was in a similar situation. Someone re-regged his hotmail account and pretty much outright stole his Steam account.
When you can do what many people do with Bittorrent now (download a show within 24 hours of its airing in HD quality and KEEP it) and do it legally, then the age of a la carte will be here.
I don't think most people want to rent an apartment for the rest of their lives, they want to own a home. They want to own their car. I'd say they'd want to own their media.
I'd never pour hundreds of dollars into a service over many years and not actually get to keep anything.
Speaking of Skynet, FACETS, etc., I wonder whose job it is to come up with cool names like this.
Look at the military. They have thousands of acronyms. They add and remove new ones every year! There has to be a guy somewhere in the pentagon who is Chief Officer of Nomenclature, Military Acronyms, & Names. Or something like that!

Alternative solutions to this are welcome...
That one was such a stretch that it would give Dhalsim a leg cramp.

Sir, people would type with their noses and ears if they had to.
I was disappointed, too. I was expecting a link to idle.slashdot.org.
If the meal is godawful, often they'll compensate you at a restaurant. Ditto on a bug in it or something like that.
I hope to god Chuck Norris doesn't lose his job.

And it was soft as a baby's bottom!
Well actually, it may very well have been a baby's bottom, now that I think about it...

If 2000 could still be used with some of my more important programs (like Steam), I'd probably be using that instead of XP right now.
They were right on the money with Win2K. We'll probably have to wait another thousand years or so to see MS get it right again.
Perhaps he is French?

He's got something poking the inside of his cheek, that's for sure...
Tracing the individual variations on peripheral neural pathways and working out their operation
That is quite possibly the most roundabout euphemism I have heard for sex ever.

Excellent pun sir!
