Your workplace sounds like a really well-designed death trap. The warning is a good idea regardless of whether or not your particular place of work is designed to kill as many people as possible in case of earthquake-induced collapse.
Steve. Say, why have you come home from school looking like that? I told you, this is a conformist household. No Google, no iPod.
So Google and iPod are "rebellious"? As far as geekery goes, I can't think of anything more conformist than being an iPod-toting Google slave, other than running Windows on your Dell.
I do have the feeling that the magnetic field has quite an effect on the brain (intelligence in particular...the brain relies on electricity and magnetism effects this) and that the lessening of the field (what happens before a reverse) may effecting us quite a bit now.
Yeah, and that's why everyone who undergoes an MRI scan immediately becomes either a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon. Remember to attach a magnet to your tin-foil hats, everyone!
If I'm correct in interpreting his definition of "being able to lift" as "taking off", the 1903 flyer didn't take off on its own and instead needed additional power to do so.
Or, if you scroll down about a half-page, you'll find:
meter n. Abbr. m The international standard unit of length, approximately equivalent to 39.37 inches. It was redefined in 1983 as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
You can solve your game CD problems by mounting the actual images with Daemon Tools . It works as a virtual CD drive and hasn't given me trouble with any games.

Life's gonna suck more, once people start getting addicted to virtual reality- a digital escape that will take some portion of people with addictive personalities, and mess their lifes up quite nicely.
Isn't this what that EverQuest thing does? The future is now, baby!

Mahirmania was rampant in 1999, which predates Google Trends's scope by about 4 years. Nice try, though.
WHOOSH as the joke goes right over your head.
GPP was referring to The Princess Bride.
No.
YOU are the weakest link. Goodbye.
Oh, yes, Beatlegeuse, a real pop star.
I bet Clippy could spell non sequitur, though.
The religious will just claim that God doesn't like working in a controlled environment.

What really sucks is that no music seems to come out. Or anything else, for that matter.

"the airplane took off from a launching rail"

By your definition, the Wright Brothers weren't really flying at Kitty Hawk. How about that?
So cut out the suspense, who did she dump you for?

Good thing you don't have to shout at cell towers to have your voice relayed by them, or that'd be a problem.
You should be thinking speed of light here, not sound.
the first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time and effort, and the remaining 10% takes the other 90%
You're really putting in a lot of time and effort into things, aren't you? Forget the usual 110%, we're talking 180% bay-bee!!!
As long as the admins are competent and keep track of what has been installed there shouldn't be any problem.
Just as there shouldn't be with Linux. My guess is the admins are not that great to begin with.
Or maybe to spell-check your Slashdot posts?
Throw in all the Lucasarts adventure designers - especially Ron Gilbert and Tim Schafer.
...but here's hoping the new Sam and Max game is a hit. The original Sam & Max was, after all, much better than Full Throttle IMO.
"(...)I fixed our system so many times they started paying me whenever it crashed."

Now I'm sure you never had anything to do with the computers crashing again... and again... and again.
Right?
If there's one thing we'll never run out of, it's idiots.
The whole "the Universe or human stupidity" thing.

From the writeup: "Second to fifth place are Moscow State University, St Petersburg Institute of Fine Mechanics(...)"
Did you have a point?
