I'm pretty sure he understands that. His concern is that accepting the offer may be interpreted as signing away his rights to anything created on the laptop.
The thing is, alternative energy DOES have a long way to go.
I was a big fan of the Tesla until Top Gear's review. It seemed like the perfect electric car: it can smoke most internal combustion cars off the line, AND it can run for more than 200 miles on a single charge. Plus, there are the benefits of less emissions due to economies of scale and a cheaper running cost. But Top Gear pointed out that once you deplete the battery, you have to charge it all night before you can use it again (I think the exact time was 14 hours).
So, awesome, I can go for a Sunday drive in a fun car and feel good about it. Except that I only have a few hours for this drive (if I'm driving cautiously), and once I'm done, I'm done for the day. So it's one step forward, but two steps back. The car doesn't adapt to us, we have to adapt to it. This isn't right, the next alternative fuel needs to fit our lifestyles or people are unlikely to change for it. That's why we need something that can be refueled quickly, which the Tesla certainly is not.
In light of the incident, Comcast says it will issue a $10 credit to any customers who say they viewed the 30-second clip, which featured full male nudity. (SEE BOX)
I was unfortunately disappointed to find that the BOX did not have 30 seconds of free porn, but instead an offer for $10.
Nevermind that, you could open up the phone and cut the wire to the speaker! So not only does this leave a large area to interpretation, it's easy to circumvent with a little determination.
I happen to RTFAs, but I can't stand the image-and-a-few-sentences-per-page format. Especially when each page has to load a bunch of pictures and javascript. I can stand it when these slideshows open up a new window with only the slideshow's content, but this is too annoying.
Ahh OK, not being familiar with apparent magnitude I was looking for some sort of unit to search for. Now I see.
For those interested in the brightness of the comet, it will be somewhere between the Uranus (at its brightest) and the faintest stars visible to the naked eye.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up. As I mentioned in my first post, I haven't seen much of the show so I probably wasn't familiar with the subject they were discussing. Maybe I'll give it another chance.
I don't agree, but I have to admit I might not have a good opinion as I've only seen a little of the show.
Watching Big Bang makes me cringe. It seems like the nerd/blonde stereotypes would work well for a 30 second family guy joke, but I can't stand to watch it for a whole show. And, from what I saw, it seemed like they were just throwing in scientific-sounding words. The majority of the show seemed to be based on the nerd stereotype, not jokes based on science.
But, to each his own. I've never really liked sitcoms very much anyway so I'm definitely biased.

He might need to actually play games on it to get it to red ring (god forbid!)
Do you have a working version anymore? I'd love to try it out.

Yeah, but think of all the games that were like it! Like.... Crash Bandicoot Racing! And....
Ah fuck it.
In this time of economic crisis, the inevitable ensuing flamewar can heat my house.
Yeah:
Frozen Bubble, Neverball, Neverputt, Pingus...
Those are just high quality casual games that were off the top of my head.
While Ron Jeremy incidentally does have a penis, I believe Tyler Durden is the one inserting it everywhere.

I always hated that these types of comments are at the bottom and underrated.
Most phones have a speakerphone-speaker and a (much quieter) headset-speaker.
Nevermind that, you could open up the phone and cut the wire to the speaker! So not only does this leave a large area to interpretation, it's easy to circumvent with a little determination.
Yes, and then I went into *my* garage and had fun building an LED marquee :-)

OS not fast enough? Just upgrade your hardware components, preferably to a new, top-of-the-line system.
Oh wait... that's the Windows way of doing things.
Yeah, exactly, that's why volunteers have been hard at work to find and fix the (published, admitted) bug. Just like Win... Oh, wait.
Any newer computer is going to consume at least two or three times as much juice and be a lot louder.
I turned my Asus EEE into a [bittorrent] "Seed Box" and file server by removing and selling the:
This box then has:
Net price after parting was $100. It uses 12 watts. Bitch :-)
I have the solution! Let's go kill a congressman!
Note to whomever has tapped this wire: that was a joke.
Except, I didn't know anything about apparent magnitude, so I had no idea to search for "comet magnitude." Smartass :)

I'm sorry, it could definitely be that my morning brain isn't functioning properly. But in the following sentence:
At its closest approach in February, Comet Lulin is expected to brighten to naked-eye visibility, reaching a magnitude of six."
Six... what?

True, and as an extreme gamer, I need the extra bandwidth for my 37 megapixel sensor blue-laser mouse. Red lasers just never felt accurate.
