I certainly won't talk to a machine. I might stumble over my words. Am I supposed to have a ready-made speech for you to record? It's not as if I could call back later to delete the message I left, or could determine if you got the message.
Stumble over your words? It's a machine. How would it be any different if you were talking to the person? "Hi, it's [$name]. [if $subject then say "Calling about $subject"] It's [if !$urgent say "not"] urgent. You can call me back at [$phonenumber]. Bye!"
I may be paying long distance charges.
That.15 cents. It's a killer?
So, screw you. I have better things to do. I could talk to some nice and friendly people.
Doesn't quite work as reliably as you think. My wife has bad allergies to cat dander, but grew up surrounded by pets and helped work her mother's pet store.
Infinite credits? Not on the XBox version. All we can do is kick up the lives to 5 instead of 3. My brother and I can barely get to Level 3, but we get a little further (side note: which is more appropriate for gaming, farther or further?) each time.
Hey! I'm in my twenties and I first encountered Mario in Donkey Kong for the Atari 2600. I wish Nintendo would bring back Mario's limited telekinetic abilities.
The Moon hitting the Earth would very well knock it out of orbit, as well as punch a nice big hole in it if not cracking it in two like a soft-boiled egg.
Not familiar with physics are we?
You'd do better to imagine the Earth meets Moon event as two spheres of fluid colliding.
That said, it sounds like your velocity assumption is conservative.
Help me take back Slashdot. When did 'News for Nerds' become 'FUD and Conspiracy Theories for Extremist Nutjobs'?
Before user accounts were even available. I posted as an AC for quite a while before registering because I thought that it was weird to access a news site with a username and password.
Don't even try to suggest any kind of moral leadership of the United States in a European context. You will quickly hear: Iraq civil war. Abu Ghraib. Secret CIA prisons. Guantanomo. Police state. Religious fanaticism. Violation of international treaties. And so on, and so forth.
Oh please. We destroy macroscopic life on the small scale. We don't do a whit to Earth's dominant life form. (Hint: it ain't us, and you can't see it without a microscope.)
I'm in North Carolina and my brother and I headed to a bix box store when they opened at 8AM on Sunday and snagged two of the forty they had in stock. We weren't even the first ones there, people had actually lined up outside the store before it opened.
Not so, Nintendo will repair (not replace) a DS Lite with even one dead pixel. I should know, my prepaid UPS label for sending my DS Lite in for repair is on its way.
From the Nintendo DS Lite Customer Service Page:
White (or Other Color) Dot on the Screen With a small number of Nintendo DS screens, one or two dots on the screen may appear to be "stuck" on a particular color, such as white or red. This effect is caused when a particular pixel (the dots that make up the screen) is not working properly. Even with the high quality standards set by LCD manufacturers, you will find this situation is common in many LCD devices (PC monitors, televisions, cell phones, etc.), and is within LCD manufacturers' specifications.
It's important to understand that this issue will remain limited to the pixels you have already noticed. The problem will not get any worse and you should not expect to see the problem in any other areas of the screen. We suggest you use your system for a few weeks to determine whether this interferes with your enjoyment of game play. If, after using your system for awhile, you feel that this tiny dot is too distracting, the Nintendo DS Lite does carry a one-year warranty. We are happy to inspect and, if necessary, fix your system at no charge within the warranty period.
I worked in a Sharper Image retail store for two years (in NC, hot summers). We'd sell those only if the customer absolutely demanded to buy it. They were clunky feeling, "worked" in that it made your neck cold, but didn't work because that only makes your neck cold and doesn't cool you off. They were almost definite returns, and I believe that the people that didn't return them just threw them in a closet and didn't bother.
Here's some more general advice about TSI: 90% crap. Look at a product and think to yourself, is this really outside the 90% rule? Really?
Oh no. They will, they will...advertize (sic) to me! Ahhh!
So they might show me ads for thinks that I might actually want to buy? It sounds like a horror movie.
Oh oh! They might find out about my finances. They might know how much I make and what I spend money on. The problem being...?
If you want to pretend that your data isn't already tracked in thousands of different ways go ahead. But better make sure that you use cash to buy everything, don't own a house, get paid in cash, don't have a bank account, etc. etc. etc.

Sounds like they'd love to talk to you too.
Ahh, the dream of the service-based society. Where all are educated, everyone has a degree, and all have jobs that pay well above average.
I understand what you're saying about the XBox 360 and the PS3, but dissing on the Wii as not being a new generation is just lunacy sir.
What freak out are you talking about too? Video game sales still make the big bucks, at least for companies that know how to sell them.

You sound like you would enjoy Metal Slug 3 on the XBox then. That game is the definition of hard.
You should realize that in many religions (even if they don't admit it) God is an abstract term for the unknown. Does the unknown exist?

Surround sound. And not a gaming 5.1 surround sound package either.
5.1 works excellently for one-screened multiplayer (e.g. Smash Bros.). It doesn't work as well for split screen multiplayer, for obvious reasons.
You don't know? He said he has 128 megs of RAM and you don't know what he can do to speed up java?
Yo, GP. Want to speed up java and everything else? Up to at least a gig of ram.

Most of those should be a database or in a personal wiki anyway. How much math do you do for any but the weight list?
Fireworks. And are you saying that there aren't people that get off blowing things up?

Why nervous? Oh no, a successful company is continuing to expand?
Why should anyone be nervous when a company continues to do what it does well?
Just as long as you don't film anyone singing any copyrighted works (like Happy Birthday), you're in the clear.
And no copyrighted music is playing in the background.
And no copyrighted videos are playing on the tv.
You know, basic hazards of modern life.
