Ensign 1: Captain, there's another ship approaching. They are hailing us. Captain: Main screen turn on. Ship: This is Captain Duder of the spaceship Leet, we're taking this camp site, bugger off. Captain: WTF? We've been here all day! Ship: Too bad dude, we want the loot from this easy romulan spawn, and we got 3 photon torpedo banks saying its ours, move to another sector, or we'll KS you biatches. Captain: WTF!! What about the prime directive! Ship: LOLz. You RPers crack me up.
"Do we really want programs jumping onto our systems and 'fixing' them without permission?"
I can see it now:
"Hello, this is your friendly neighborhood good virus, it looks like your computer is vulnerable to a nasty microsoft RPC bug, would you like us to patch this up for you?"
Here's something else I've noticed, with rare exception, 3D games to me seem easier than their 2D counterparts.
Maybe its me, but games like Metroid Prime aren't nearly as difficult as the original Metroid. It just seems to me that 2d games are easier to balance and whatnot, easier to see where the player is going to be and to "force" people into using a certain strategy.
As far as art, well, thats subjective. Creating an immersive 3d world is much more challenging than creating a painting. Screenshots don't often do games justice, you have to experience them, see how they move, in order to appreciate the art and work that went into them.
I think that Congress has the impression that more research should be done by the private sector. I tend to lean toward Libertarian values, but I can see how funding NASA helps us all.
After all, NASA doesn't need to turn a profit on its research. When the private sector pumps billions of dollars into something it's expecting to get billions in return. So why search for things that (seemingly) won't turn a profit right away.
NASA has benefitted this country so much its sad to see Congress shoving it aside. I guess they're hoping to offshore NASA.
I gotta wonder how many times they are gonna freeze these guys to bring them back in the next game. Jun's gonna end up fighting her great great great great great great grandson in Tekken 12.
"If you're supposed to be the supreme beings of the universe, why don't you climb up and get me?"
This was on the planet with those other androids (Recalling all of this from memory).
The doctor did in fact believe at that time that the Daleks were so impotent as to not be able to climb simple stairs.
That would explain the look of terrified confusion on the Doctor's (Sylvestor McCoy) face when the Dalek in Rememberence suddenly was able to climb up the stairs to "get him".

... they picked colors this time that didn't make me want to claw my eyes out... (IT color goodness)

You can look at the numbers that way.
So how much would $150 billion buy in the way of network infrastructure anyway?
2004 Military Budget:
United States: 399.1 billion
Sweeden: 4.5 billion
South Korea: 14.1 billion
They have the internet on computers now?
Now all we need is Ben Affleck to reverse engineer this and create a better display, without the monitor.
AFLACK! AFLACK!
If you add those two numbers together, the number you get is 24,636,659 ... which happens to be prime.

I read slashdot all the time from the Gym while using some cardio equipment, lots of them have internet access attached.
So how many shares are they going to have to sell at that price to raise their target of e Billion Dollars?
(scroll down to Humerous)
They want their foot back.

Why use wired controllers?
:)
Cause the wavebird doesn't vibrate, and vibrating is fun.
Could this be the end of Carrot Top's carreer?
We have the money, we're just spending it on the wrong crap.
(says the guy who works in a county that spent over 75% of its budget on sports stadiums.)

There are two problems I have with using Firefox.
.htm and .lnk extensions to Firefox but it just didn't take.
;)
#1: Right now, a home grown app we use where I work gives us the following error:
Error: swhen.options is not a function
This is a java error, which is odd because the same app works in IE and netscape.
#2: Can't figure out how to default MSN messenger clicks to it. Associated all
If anyone knows how to fix that, it'd be lovely.

These guys played too much Final Fantasy ...
People still watch television? I thought it was just for watching dvds...
Now if we can just condense this technology into a pair of glasses ...
"Little green men doctor?"
"No! Little green blobs in bonded polycarbide armor."
- Rememberence of the Daleks
The Master ... dead for certain?
Ah.. but you're not thinking 4th dimentionally....
The doctor (in Tom Baker form) said:

Aim for the eyepiece.
Not only would you have a kickass system to play Doom3 on, but you'll be able to heat your entire house with it.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of video cards in your machine.
