I had a PC, and I put it in the oven, and like, baked it for a while, and like it went beep bloop buzz and then exploded. It was a bummer.. It ruined my stove, it was a really good stove too. So then I got a powerbook, and like, then when I baked that, it like bent a little, but still worked and stuff.
I feel like I'm missing something.. I just checked drugstore.com.. 99 cents for 16oz. Ok, I realize buying 50,000 bottles from a drugstore isnt realistic, but this stuff is clearly regularly available. He seems to be complaining that he tried one place and they gave him the run around.
The fact that anyone was upset about this is very disturbing to me. Marvel wanted to get their action figures classified as 'toys' instead of 'dolls' so they could pay less tariff. Whoopee. Fans are 'up in arms'? Give me a break.
Attention anyone who believed for one second this scooter would really revolutionize the world: I have a lovely bridge you might be interested in purchasing. I'll even throw in lots of stock in assorted.com companies as a bonus!
Is it just me or are these two lists actually not that similar at all? The IDEA is similar, but not the lists. I think only 2 games actually exist on both lists, plus the seanbaby one has much more cursing.
Theories about life starting underwater have been around ever since hydrothermal vents were discovered, I beleive, in 1977. The fact that they say organic life developed out of inorganic materials isn't really revolutionary. I mean, the first organic life couldn't have evolved from other organic life, thats paradoxical.
I must say, I almost never actually like anything it records for me as a suggestion. I hardly every bother to do the thumbs up/down, so the TiVo just goes based on what I explicitly record. I have only one season pass, for the simpsons, and then usually record shows one off here and there. This gives some eclectic suggestions.
Basically my TiVo seems to think I'm a violent (sopranos) child (simpsons) chef (iron chef). This means I get mostly random cooking shows and cartoons that I have no interest in whatsoever. Lately its obsessed with trying to get me to watch dexter's laboratory.
Is this such big news? I would always just say no. The practice I would prefer to see them end is the one where 7 high school dropouts run up to me to try and help me find what I need but then have no idea what I'm talking about if I ask for anything other than a battery.
I used to like Natalie Portman, and I spent all this time stalking her, but then like, she was like, beep beep beep, restraining order. And I was like all like man, that like sucked, I was a really good stalker and stuff. So then I like switched like to Ellen.
I can't beleive there are some replies that are actually up in arms about this. What will they tag next?!?! When will these be implanted in people?!?! WONT SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!
Who would have thought that so many/. readers were luddites. Do they get someone to chisel the stories into clay tablets for them to read?
I wasted 29 extra days reading another book! Damnit!
Does anyone really buy books from the 'dummies' 'in 24 hours' or 'in 30 days' series? Do you keep these books on your desk as reference? I bet that distills confidence in coworkers.
If you want to be fair, consider this, Google is a fantastic service. Probably (no, definitely) the single most useful thing on the internet, and the most useful thing all around since duct tape. And its free. So I'd say they are doing ok by the community. Think it would exist if they hadnt 'sold out' and started taking money for tiny little non intrusive ads? I don't think so, and that would suck.
First off I think Adobe makes great products and I think it will be very hard for MS to attack their niche. That being said, I wouldn't be so sure that it will take a long time for other vendors to support MS's new 'standard'. MS can make it very hard for ISVs to exist if they want to. For instance, it would be a big problem for most software houses if they didn't get to test or even see Longhorn or whatever new version of windows and start porting their product to it until it hit the retail shelves. Good or bad, MS is still the 800lb gorilla of the industry, and pissing it off can be bad for your existence if you depend on selling products that run under their OS.
The article has pretty much 0 content, but I suspect this is an important step because one combined company with no cash struggling to survive while developing a product that is really far off can last twice as long as two seperate ones. Maybe even long enough to see the product come to fruition, or more likely long enough for some major electronic component maker to buy them and really bring the products mainstream.
Next generation fans? Because they are different colors? HELLO?
Intel just came out with its next generation CPU! At approximately 100% the performance of current models, it sports a BLUE color! The industry has been revolutionized!
Sounds like 'encrypt' isnt exactly the right word here. Maybe 'encode' would have been better. From the very tech light article it seems that this is a watermarking technique which somehow embeds the watermark with no distortion of the image whatsoever. Traditional watermarks distort the image, albeit usually not noticeable to the casual naked eye.

They are a take on the jokes Yakov Smirnof used to tell.. In Soviet Russia.. television watches you, newspaper reads you, etc.
In Soviet Russia, Xbox loses money on you!

Insert witty crack about being able to sort through the time travel in science fiction movies here.
Wait, scratch the part about witty.

Hello? Everyone knows Hoffa is buried in the endzone at Giants stadium. Damn tourists.

If anyone needs more info on X-10 go to ANY FRIGGING WEBSITE IN THE WORLD and read the popup.

Like, say, the group that actually uses the word 'grok' in conversation?
With this story slashdot has hit an all time grammar low. I'm still trying to figure out what its supposed to be about.
This list is amazingly fascinating! The military is actually interested in researching nanoexplosives. Its really like something from a SciFi movie.

No porn?! Well, its a good thing you're allowed to say "fuck", because that must be lots of peoples reaction.
