There are 52 Sundays in the year 17000, starting with January 5th, 17000. I demand to know which Sunday, and why it won't be some other day of the week.
(sarcasm filter off) God's not going to tell you and Sunday is God's day.
With all of the smart people making the show it only leaves dumb people to cancel the show!
IMHO I believe they think they know what the majority want. After all, they probably feel it takes a dumb person to truly understand the needs of other dumb people.
And, to me, the worst part was their decision to axe Fallout 3 (and Black Isle Studios for that matter) and instead pushed out the utterly worthless Fallout: BoS.
Ok that seems to be what most people who bash Interplay are talking about; however Fallout BoS has a place and I'm sorry you apparently weren't the target.
I don't blame Interplay for using the Fallout brand name. It makes sense since it is a Gamma Worldish wasteland of a game.
I also don't blame them for the game being so different from the pc Fallout games. Fallout Brotherhood of Steel is on a console! Of course it is going to be different than playing on the pc.
My wife and I love all the games developed on the Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance engine and that includeds Fallout BoS.
The very reason that "insert leading company" exist is that they provide simple, easy-to-use network connectivity wherever you are. Security takes a backseat to ease of use. The equipment manufacturers don't want to have to deal with the support calls if they would enable security features, such as WEP, out of the box. Adding security to Wi-Fi networks makes them harder to use and less appealing to the average consumer. Thus, it's easier for manufacturers if consumers remain blissfully unaware of the huge backdoors into their networks. But then again, anonymous internet access from my neighbor isn't that bad.
I think that is true for all the mass produced computer products. If you want to be the top HO, be wide open and easy to use.
Personally I love the fact that my neighbor does not use any security. I frequently get better download speeds from his network.
1) I rarely returned my college books because the payback was so low and I enjoyed the books more than the possible return.
2) There were still USED University books at the bookstore.
There will always be a used market and there should be. People should just be aware that the USED item probably returned for a reason. The only University books I returned were for the classes I hated.
You are correct that felons can vote in a state by state basis...however, look at the states that refuse to let felons vote and you've find a ton of laws with jail time punishment.
IMHO this is done in a broad sense to keep the minority (not just race) fractured. No vote = no power.
Uhm, they already have gaming to help with that. It's called, "going outside and riding your bicycle, or climbing a tree, or running around like a chicken with your head cut off".
I'd recommend that, but hopefully she'll take my first recommendation. My first recommendation is to move somewhere you can go outside and ride a bike.
This is a 13 yr old girl in a neighborhood where standing on the porch can get you high.
I actually do see a need for this sort gaming. My niece, who loves video games, is 194lbs and turned 13 this month!
I'll just have to remember to close my eyes while she is playing. Of course the sight might be like that Simpson's x-files episode where Skully is watching Homer like a lava lamp.
What about the RC helicopter mission where you set bombs and then get out before they blow?
Or the place right after you "KILL ALL THE HAITIANS".. you set bombs there and then must get out before they blow (which is tricky because the way you came in is blocked).
I do not think I would need to be told about bombs if I was the one that planted them.
What exactly are they giving up by only being able to copy once? The ability to make a backup copy
Agreed. For another example, if DRM had existed back in the late 70s, there would be no way to make copies of some BBC shows. The BBC use to trash shows when they needed shelf space.
I can't even imagine having the only copy of a show and being unable to reproduce it for historical purposes.
What if you get sex for bartering computer skills? Would that be prostitution? Do you have to itemize? Can you deduct it? I'm intrigued.
there is a line for illegal income...
I can think of only one way to deduct: getting it done for health reasons.
I've 'heard' of a brothel in the Houston area that hires only accredited masseuses that accepts health insurance. Take it with a grain of salt since I've only heard about it. It is a nice idea though....
ah that explains this: (i.e. no need of more since we know where the money is coming from)
And in April, the Treasury Department's agency that investigates allegedly illegal financing across U.S. borders was revealed to have only four agents working on money traceable to Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein, but 21 agents working full-time on violations of the U.S. embargo of Cuba.

When I was using online groceries, they used restaurant quality produce. After restaurants get their pick, they go to groceries, so picking produce at the local grocery is picking the restaurant rejects!
If you want fresh groceries that you pick, you are going to have to go to a road side produce mart.
Selling you the oldest crap they can get away with selling doesn't work so well for customer retention.
that's pretty much straight out of the article (so RTFA)

MHO is that hollywood is seeing the dollars. you make a bunch of CGI movies or even real movie like ROTK and TTT and you add some animated version of the main hero that you control doing some punching/sword swinging and they get $50 for their DVD/Movie vs $15-$30 for their movie.
yeah, but hopefully you'll get more than 2 hours of enjoyment out of the game.
My fear is when real high speed broadband is every where. Then I think video games and movies will be on a pay per play/view system.
Imagine $$$$/month forever because they've linked your cable, internet, home security,phone and your video games into one providor.

As one of my single friends puts it:
'I probably get laid as often as you, but at least I get a different girl each time.'
Shhh...my wife thought it was me.

Just look at the president.
ignores your wife
/. crowd.....
easy to do for the
Then everything needs to be sorted through--it doesn't all automatically go to whoever gets the house.
Ah but digital IP can be copied. If you own the rights, you could leave a copy to everyone.

two thoughts.
1) I rarely returned my college books because the payback was so low and I enjoyed the books more than the possible return.
2) There were still USED University books at the bookstore.

Cable news channel MSNBC announced today that they will be releasing their archives under the Windows XP EULA.
great something else to click through

Sometimes inside is safer.

It could be worse. He could be charged for murder after using this.

I wonder how long before businesses start doing terrorist background checks in addition to criminal checks....
just cut to the chase as I've seen the movie

I'm so tempted to open up my wireless so people can get a big finger when they ping my machines while wardriving.
/. !
Thanks! I laughed so loud that people from two offices down from me had to come and see! Now they know I was reading
BTW truly inspired!
can't resist....must comment....argh
I think really only Babylon 5 went out on the perfect note, mainly because thats when it was supposed to happen.
They never should have renewed the last season! Then it would have ended the way it was supposed to end! What were they thinking!
(don't get me wrong...I wanted more episodes, but it lost focus and is still losing focus in the SciFi channel spin offs)
