I think socially it would make sense to have some more buttons.
But they should always be anonymous.
So when someone posts: "I'm washing my car! Isn't water so amazing!"...
they'll get a variety of feedback like:
1 friend likes this
12 friends think this is stupid
7 friends say "so what?"
Then maybe people wouldn't post everything that comes to mind. It would be just like in the real world.
When someone walks blindly into a group of friends and just says, "I'm washing my car! Isn't water so amazing!", it's bizarre.
I honestly have no problem with Verizon charging the termination fee in this situation. She canceled and that's all that matters.
Whenever a spouse dies there's extra expenses, and this is just one of them.
Life sucks. Death sucks even more.
From an average joe point of view, I think I'd rather have no mail delivered on a mid-week day like Wednesday versus Saturday.
This would avoid having two consecutive days of no mail.
But I guess businesses wouldn't like to receive no mail on a business day.
The kids who are already at the library reading books are suddenly going to be tempted by the newly available video games.
And the statement: "you can be darn sure that out librarians will be hard at work to introduce them to everything else the library can offer"
Umm.. yeah right. Because kids who come to the library for free video games to make copies of really give a sh!t what a library has to say to them.
They even guarantee them against several types of scientific tests (including fluorescence and mass spectrography) ! I have no idea how they can do that
They're criminals. They can say they guarantee anything. Maybe the coins actually fail these tests, but once you've purchased it, what do they care?
Wow. I feel like I'm doing something bad when I consume any more than about 2 servings of the same food a day. I mean... I'm all like "I'm hungry. An apple would be easy. No... I had that earlier. I'll have an orange instead."
I can't imagine drinking 30 to 40 cups of anything would be good for you. (Water might be the exception.)
It's always hard for me to understand... if you know you're doing something bad... why not just stop? I'm not immune to addiction, but when my self-check tells me I'm headed down that road, I just turn at the next chance I get.
It's hard to limit yourself... why not just have more and more of what you like? Controlling yourself is a bit masochistic. Why make yourself suffer?
But I guess I kind of see my wants and needs as a battle that's constantly going on in my head. I guess it makes me feel powerful... that I can will away unhealthy urges.
Of course, some urges are healthy if ya know what'om sayin... ahhh yeah.
My mom's PC takes an ungodly amount of time to boot. It must take somewhere near 5 minutes, possibly more. It's an old Windows ME machine.
The thing is overloaded with services/apps/processes that launch at startup. All stuff she doesn't need, but she's not smart enough to remove.
I've cleaned it up for her before, but it's a lost cause if she doesn't understand how to maintain it herself.
I'm sure once my mom learns about this Presto thing, she'll be all over it. Well... just as soon as she learns what an operating system is.
Actually, it doesn't appear to bother her like it does me and anyone else who tries to use it. She gets all defensive/protective of her pc when I point out how poorly it is performing. She just turns it on, walks away and makes some coffee, and by then it's ready to go.
Why is it that articles are posted all over the net that say something is "unveiled" or "revealed" or "caught on video" or "photo captures" or "kinetic sculpture"...
Currently when we mine for material, aren't we really just scratching the surface of the Earth?
The Earth's crust is about 10 miles thick.
Are all the "rare earth elements" only up at the surface where we mine?
I'm guessing we've actually mined a tiny fraction of 1% of the planet.
I think of oil in the same way. I have no scientific data, but my guess is that there is a huge amount of undiscovered oil waiting all over the world. Just because we haven't found it doesn't mean it isn't there.

"Aww.. yes. We muss make moes sophisticated item.
Item fwom fewcha!

Of course Dr. Belcher would be an expert on making gas.

Now that it's slashdotted, it's completely blacked out!

without the asian dude. GM is causing more job losses. That's so sterotypical!

Damn. I thought I had it. Stupid MacWheel!!!
Paralyzed video game playing monkeys are rejoicing the world around.
particles?
I don't think I'd consider them particles.
More like tiny tubes made of carbon.

WTF!!
It's cool an all, but why wouldn't they capture the video coming from the DelFly itself and also show that?
Maybe it can't capture video and fly at the same time?
and then no pictures or videos are shown!
What's wrong with people?

In effect, the anti-bacterial soap will evolve into regular soap.
So you'll get your way soon enough!
What next? Brazilians in India?
- false positives
- privacy concerns
- accusations of defeating a security device
But testing a system doesn't mean it's going to become a reality.
Although it does seem like a waste... because even if technically the system functions perfectly, the public won't accept it.
And it will just raise prices, for the equipment, monitoring, weight/fuel.
Maybe peeing girls just aren't marketable.
Shet Fays added, "Phoenix is working as expected."
"The mission has been a total success", exclaimed Azzol Johnson.
I'm sure they've already incorporated the cost of lawsuit settlements into the cost.
Come on! It's the American way!
If it IS slowing me down, it must be in the noise... well below other slow-downs... like annoying co-workers, family, bodily functions, and Slashdot.
