Oh, I understand that this is a big issue for a lot of people, else Congress wouldn't be utilizing it for general pandering. What I was trying to say is that its highlighting a disconnect between my perceptions and those of my peers.
Normally I'm pretty apathetic about political nonsense, but something about this story enrages me. This is just so unbelievably frivolous, but it sure will play well to the average voter who probably watches 40 hours of television a week and strongly agrees with the statement that "TV viewers should be able to watch their favorite programs without fear of losing their hearing when the show goes to a commercial."
It's not that I'm especially fond of advertisers, it's just that I have trouble acknowledging a world where ANYBODY GIVES A FUCK about this "issue".
The camera should store an hour's footage in memory that is RF boradcast from the vehicle, so that police cruisers can get behind you, access your feed, and see if you've been performing any illegal activities while in operation of the vehicle.
Our primary concern should be a complete audit of World of Warcraft server hardware, to ensure that this vulnerability does not exist in other, more vital networks.
Haven't you heard? Hydrogen is ultra-combustible-dangerous! Somebody on the sidewalk across the street probably lit up a cigarette. I imagine the trucker reaching out in slow-motion and screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo."
I always assumed 'automatic' simply referred to the action used to chamber another round, to differentiate from manual operations like levers and pumps.
For a potential video game. You pilot a small spaceship, and your job is to shoot asteroids with your laser cannon as they appear. When an asteroid is hit, it breaks into several smaller asteroids. You then have to shoot those asteroids until they break up into asteroids so small that they are no longer a danger. If an asteroid impacts your spaceship, you die.
I think they should call it The Ship that Shoots a Laser Cannon.
There's really a trend in going all "That movie sucks!" against every popular movie, and I'm getting tired of it.
It might not be original, and maybe people can say "Oh pocahontas did it first!" but that doesn't change that it was a suspenseful, well-made film with some good points that people could think about.
I would compare it to Star Wars, really. It was an ambitious movie with a cliche plot, passable acting, and very impressive special effects. I enjoyed it in the theaters and now own it on blu-ray. It's not The Usual Suspects, by a long shot, but it is a satisfying movie in its own way.
Coed bathrooms sound really great until hot little Lindsay walks in and recognizes your shoes while you're raging on the toilet with PBR beer shits at 150psi.
Why would you want to? Airship is an awesome word.
Wouldn't you like to own a private airship? Call up your buds "hey man, wanna come over and watch the Superbowl? Yeah, we'll be hanging out on the airship. I'm planning on floating in circles over the lake at a few hundred feet. I get a 60 inch flat screen, two kegs, and a party sub. Bring your sister."
"Hello. This is automated announcement from Fraternityville. Your friend M-A-L-C-O-M-B request that you send him a one case of beer. The cost is 10 fratbucks. Authorize?"
sooo are you saying i should check out the sweet sunset that evening, or prepare for oblivion, or put on some sunscreen, or what? i beg your pardon, i'm just not sure what the proper reaction is when a huge coronal mass ejection blasts a magnetic bubble filled with energetic particles at me.
All organic life in the Northern Hemisphere is disintegrated at the subatomic level, Pacific Ocean boils away, Indian Ocean freezes solid, everybody in Uganda gets superpowers.

I felt that the utilitization of the word prevasive added an element of loquatiatory verbosity to an otherwise diphractic article.
I don't usually text and drive, unless I've been drinking.

Shouldn't software houses of that magnitude be held accountable for at least something like this?
Absolutely not.
I have a sinking suspicion that most of the social interaction will be forums posts like "which anime character is General Subutai most like???"
You guys seriously missed the sarcasm in that post? Really?
I love it when guys like this try and come off as if they provide some sort of legitimate service, and that they have an actual organized "community."

Now I need to go the whole way to Buffalo to top off my Zeppelin.
Maybe we should use the ones we already have before we worry about getting neutrinos.

About how many amps can I get out of a standard 24oz. can of Mango-flavored Monster Energy drink (with taurine)?

Wouldn't it be ironic if this solar flare knocks SOHO out of commission?
Only if it were to blow up a bus carrying the Phoenix Suns, on a Sunday.

Easy. It's filled with too many Americans.
"Job one urgency?" Are we playing madlibs?
Coming up with a serious iPad competitor should be job two ennui, at least.
