I got a kindle last semester and got E-books for all my text books. I really enjoyed not having to lug around books from class to class. There are a few things that are not quite as convenient as text books but over all I prefer my kindle. The sheer weight difference is just that staggering. I use to never bring personal books, with me when I went to my classes, it just wasn't worth it. Now I have a large number of fiction and other light reading books I can read a bit of during short down times.
Glory in IT? If that was the case I'd get more women I think. I think any glory you thought there use to be is simply delusions on your part. People don't work in IT for the glory. People rarely do anything for glory.
The whole "You only get so many cells" seemed counter intuitive to me. Logically it made very little sense. I never really cared though if it was true. I'm not a biologist nor did I ever do anything that would of required me to use such information.
I always thought that You only get so many cell divisions seemed more likely. After all cells don't replicate perfectly.
Nah I just don't know what I would of done differently to make the Dreamcast be profitable. It was awesome but awesome things are only awesome if people are buying them. They just couldn't compete with Sony.
A jerk might be a Jerk but if he's a reliable jerk I'll take him over someone who's really nice but often makes mistakes.
I always feel like niceness is their way of compensating for absolutely sucking. It's a survival mechanism when you're a failure. Give me a Jerk whom I can count on to get the work done well over a nice failure. After all it's work and we aren't there to be nice to each other.
A shame the Dreamcast died. I dunno if I should be angry at Sega, or it's run of bad luck. Sega has a history for abandoning consoles very quickly. But the Dreamcast had stiff competition, and needed to sell a lot of units to turn a profit. When sales were falling short of Sega's expectations they pulled the plug on it. I can't help but feel that if Sega has hung in there it might of been a huge success but I can't really laminate about how terrible sega is. RIP Dreamcast you died to young.
Well seems to make sense to me. First get linux community to seem to agree with the fact Microsoft holds valid patents, second with previous patent validity established destroy linux distros that become a threat by claiming they violate other patents not in this 'portfolio' of what they can use.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.
The wheel of time is one of those series that I think could of ended up like a religion. Eventually someone starts a religion around the wheel of time proclaiming that Robert Jordan (their literary messiah) will return to earth to finish the series. Thankfully another author is going to freaking finish it so we are spared another terrible religion on this planet. Unless of course someone declares this new author the devil and the subsequent books false. Then we may have a buncha of people waiting for the return of Jordan to write the end.
The cops didn't respond with swat, like the title makes it sound like. They said it was just 5 cops, and they didn't even say if they just showed up and knocked or kicked open the doors with guns drawn. I'm not sure about everyone else but I think it's not the worst thing they could of done sending a few cops to investigate. It could of been that a disgruntled bungie employee got pissed and came to work with the intent to kill or some such, aka going postal. It doesn't sound like there was any series issues, no ciations were issues and all they did was ask bungie and it's employees to cover their large weapon replicas when transporting them. They don't have to cover them but it's a good suggestion if one wants to avoid inciting any sort of panicked police calls.
On the bright side if any bungie employees were planning to take an AK and go postal, now would be a good time to do so.
So we aren't planning to go ahead with the Sentinel program I hope. Anyone have a list of politicians I can contact to try and convince them to vote no against Mutant cleansing?

I actually felt sorry for the actors. I couldn't imagine faking interest in that, for any amount of cash.
I've got two words for this "Bad idea" seriously I wonder what genius thought of this up.

Wasn't this the plot for a spiderman/captain America cross over or something?
So I guess this means that the camera is going to Harass people taking Photos now?
Leading us to a bright new future! or at least that's what the politicians want you to think.
Now if they promise not to 'include it' in future patches that would be swell. I might actually considering trying it.

I rather enjoyed Sonic Adventure 2 on the game cube.
Well I'm disappointed I clicked on the article hoping for a link to a corresponding comic. Sadly there isn't a swineflu comic.
They are geniuses. They sent me a free fusion. I loved it and now they got me buying the damn blades.
You've a lot of rage. Did a fat person sit on you as a child?
obligatory Dilbert comic http://nakedape.cc/~wcooley/images/dilbert-unix-guru.gif
Beards are unsightly anyways. Yes I'm talking to you Unix gurus with huge beards. Also all the bearded ladies out there.

The hobbit was my favorite of Tolkien's books. I'm very excited to see it coming to movie!

They also prefer the word "Rimjob"
You really don't understand the impact world wide reliable and fast code breaking has. Cryptology has won wars.
