Some people have a tough time detecting humor in text form... Although to give credit where credit is due, I had not considered some big breasted woman wearing something like this to a wet T shirt competition, and in that case this could be a winning idea. So maybe in that context my comment is more interesting than I had imagined.
The horrible part of all that... Ron Jeremy would get my vote as looking more like Mario than Lou Albano or Bob Hoskins (Hoskins how did he get the part? at least Albano kind of looked the part.)
I have only ever watched one movie with Ron Jeremy in it but maybe thats for the best based one what I have heard... Orgazmo a hilarious movie if you have never watched it. But he seemed like he could act?
Some cars do display the PSI of the tires via TPMS, it could be combined with this system to let you know "Tire Failure is Eminent" of course this would require some sort of software and memory to keep track of normal air pressure loss. Probably be limited to the more expensive cars.
So set up a web cam and a web page where people can pay some money to watch you being punched by a machine attached to the PC or for more money they can actually give the command.... Then have some banner ads to rake in even more money?
I can this happening.
Of course this might lead to some form of competition to who is going to be the first one to let some one kick them in the nuts over the Internet....
I hate Santa... my mom tried for years to get a picture of me sitting on Santa's lap as a child. No way in hell was I going near that freak... I don't care how many malls or stores we went too. The rest are fine as long as they stay out of my way.
I use my cable companies DVR (It has a USB port on the front) not sure if I am allowed to do this but it works and I don't have to turn on something I am not using.
One complaint I have about my PS3 dealing with charging the controller.... On the Wii when I watch Netflix the controller shuts itself off after a few minutes of inactivity, no problem if I want to use it I just push a button (any button) and it turns on and works. On the PS3 if I watch a movie the controller eagerly sits for 2 hours and sucks its battery dry.... Why does it stay on the entire time? Feels like I have to charge my PS3 controller 2-3 times more often then I should by working this way.
The PS3 has 1 Cell Broadband Engine with is a single CPU based on the PPC CPU, and 7 SPU's the 8th SPU is disabled at manufacture to increase yields. They run a tests on the chip, notice one SPU is bad, isolate it then disable it. If all of them are good they disable one.
Only 6 SPU's are usable to programs as the 7th SPU is reserved for the OS's Hypervisor.
I agree some of these marketers I suspect are smoking meth or something... As a great example there is some commercial showing recently where they start singing the 12 days of Christmas and I hit the mute button so fast I don't even know what product its for... The girl just starts yammering about a bunch of crap and I want to slap her...
This commercial is so annoying the only reason I would want to even know the name of the company that makes it is so I can boycott them...
At this point in time I would consider it very likely that we park a couple of satellites overhead and just watch all the radar stations then just triangulate the positions down to the foot or something.
Maybe some of these neat radar ground mapping satellites with the transmitter turned off and just the listening part turned on.
I used to have a World of Warcraft account, I use gmail as my primary email service. One thing that happened to me is that about 8 months after I stopped playing WoW I get a lot of weird emails overnight. the last one bothered me the most. "From the Gmail team" or something to that effect, what it boiled down to is that some one in China had accessed my email through "unknown means" and managed to get my passwords and account information for WoW then they proceeded to have like 12 demo's of WoW, I changed my gmail password to some crazy 36 long letter number soup and contacted blizzard... This has been months ago, the end result is that Blizzard pretty much says that if I wanted to play WoW in the future I would need to buy the game and the expansions I had again... Awesome customer service Blizzard! Love you too!/sarcasm
The US is the worst evil-empire. 20 years from now, we will wish the Soviets had survived, to keep their horror in check."
Judging by the fact that when the Soviets where going full steam they had to build a giant wall to keep people IN I would question your version of reality. I have yet to see people digging tunnels to get out of the US... Tunnels going in sure thing.
I know I am looking forward to this, I usually buy 1 or 2 tiers down from the extreme editions or what ever they are being called, with this tech I will probably buy what ever is cheapest and can be turned into the top model.
Saving the world is impossible, our sun it putting out more heat every year as it burns its fuel and gets hotter. The best solution is to develop tech as fast as possible so we can spread out.
Of course even this is only a temporary solution as even the sky itself will one day be devoid of stars and the universe will go dark.
Or a game like Ninja Gaiden on the NES, where your jumps and attacks had to be perfect down to the millisecond... I have used many emulators and the game is completable but you have to compensate for the lag or extra speed depending on the emulator and its a pain.
I think FCE Ultra on the Wii with no filters turned on is pretty close to perfect NES emulation with the Wiimote. Like you say 99.9% but still not perfect.
Yeah but police like to confiscate an ounce of weed and claim it has a street value of a bazillion dollars. So they would probably claim that your electronics are worth at least 10X what they really are worth.

One word that is way more shocking than fuck, at least the urban dictionaries version of it is.... lol

I am not sure I want my new shirt to turn back into slime if it gets wet...
P.S. This post is a joke.

Staring Ron Jeremy? He wouldn't need very much makeup or a fur suit even... He even kind or resembles Mario too.

Ummm no, just no on so many levels....

Thats where the inflation part comes in, those dolls wont blow them selves up you know! At least not the cheap models...

"Making money with a product speaks louder than hand-waving."
I take it you don't speak Italian? Sorry couldn't resist :)

In this case I would say its more like telling a cancer patient with 2 weeks to live to stop smoking.
almost inhumane to deprive them of what they enjoy so much with the time they have left.
I wonder how long until you get the warez version for free...

In the end everything we do is only temporary.

That made me lol loved the game I hope they make a part 3. :)
Agreed I would be in the 20% for sure, not claiming to be a saint or anything... lol
I am amazed that 20% of the people who had no risk of being caught did NOT steal... Perhaps humanity is not as corrupt as I thought.
Or they just didn't know they could not get caught.
