Did anybody object to having a UHF dial? Were there people who said, "Dammit, I don't want to be forced to buy a tv that has a stupid UHF dial!"? That was a natural technological progression. This smellovision deal is a feature, just like picture-in-picture, which is on some televisions but not on all. You are just getting worked up about something trivial that probably will not happen anyway. I am more worried about viewing restrictions on digital tv. That is something that could be government mandated. It makes no sense whatsoever that smellovision would be government mandated. "Everyone must be able to smell what is on television!" I don't think so.
Again, why are you forced to buy a tv? Is the president of Sony going to come and rape your children if you do not buy a new tv when your old one breaks? Is there a law that states you MUST have a tv or you will be fined? I do not understand why you will be forced to buy a tv. You do not have to buy a tv. If all the tvs put off smells and you do not want that feature, then do not buy the tv. It is as simple as that.
If something in a game triggered a smell then this device would release some aroma. You move to a different part of the game, but your room still smells like the previous part of the game because you move through the game much faster than the aroma disapates. When you go to a different part of the game another smell comes out. Soon your room is filled with a combination of smells which tell you nothing. This device is stupid and pointless. I have absolutely no desire for my computer to produce smells. That's just dumb. If these devices are ever actually released, I can see every one of them showing up in a thrift shop in about ten years.
10 years is actually the current maximum for a US president. He could be vice president and take over the presidency two years into the term. Then he could get elected and reelected president. But fortunately, though, the way the system is set up prevents morons like Bush from serving the full ten years. Four is certainly enough.
It must have been a while since you were in grade school. See, the pronoun 'they' is a third person plural pronoun. Plural means more than one. So 'they' indicates more than one person. I don't care how you use it, 'they' has never meant indeterminate gender, you ignorant person.
It always annoyed the hell out of me that you could get a two liter of pop for the same price as a 20 oz. I don't drink pop though so it doesn't really affect me.
March 14th is steak and a blowjob day. I'm just glad I'll be home for spring break that day(actually I go back to school that day but i'll still have time). Yes, I have a girlfriend. Yes, she is okay with the idea. No, I won't share.
UT2003 works damn fine with xfree86 on my radeon8500. The game has the little nvidia intro, but that's all it says about it. I don't consider that to be out of luck.
It was funny when lisa tried to grow a penis? Grow up. That episode was one of the worst yet. I don't think I laughed once during it. I love the simpsons as much as anybody else, but this has to end. It just can't go on forever.
I know all the/. trolls are thinking "To hell with first posts, I'm gonna try to get in a BBC article!" I hope they are reading right now. Fucking bitches.
Damn straight. Get him something you want to get him. Don't look for something that he wants or needs, because if he wanted it himself then he would have already bought it. I know I would have. If I haven't bought the item then it's probably too expensive, in which case my girlfriend couldn't afford it either. The whole idea of setting aside certain days of the year to give gifts just pisses me off to no end. I have no problem with getting gifts for people, but only if I feel like it and I want to. I just absolutely hate the feeling of obligating to get gifts for people. The problem is when people expect gifts and then I don't get them somthing, they are disappointed and then it makes me feel bad. They never fuckign seem to take into account that I'm a poor college boy and I can't afford all that shit. Am I supposed to not eat so that I can buy shit for people? I'm sorry guys, but I have to think of myself first. uh, sorry about that rant, but it's that time of year and I'm pissed off about it.
Every damn type of connection is shared, they are just shared at different levels. DSL is shared at the isp level but there is still only so much bandwidth to go around. If a cable segment is legitimately getting overloaded then they add a run to balance it out. If a segment is illegitimately overloaded by people modifying their modems then they cut that person off. Yes, dedicated likes like T1s don't have to share bandwidth with anyone, but you pay the price.
People like unique ringtones because they think they are "cool" and they want to show off to everyone that they are "cool" and they have an expensive cell phone. More often than not I see these assholes wait to answer the phone until the song is over. I hate every one of them.
"Whither have they tossed mountain dew?" makes sense, as does "whither is the mountain dew going?" Say "Where mountain dew?" out loud and ask yourself if that makes sense.

Why would you be forced to buy a tv at all?

Well I can't say anything for the rest of the world, but more people in the US say pop than soda.
My last name begins with A, as does Neil Armstrong's.

Coincidence? I think not!

If a someone is a they then I think that person has bigger problems than lying.

And by wither I assume you mean whither, which means 'to where', as in "Whither are we going". To where mountain dew? I don't think so.
Well you're just a moron. That commercial really was one of the stupidest commercials ever.
Boxen? Do you also hunt foxen?
I haven't gotten one yet, in either of my main email accounts. Nobody loves me :(
I think you already have a virus. You seem to be broadcasting an internet address in your sig! Check your system immediately!
Damn near every slashdot summary is either incorrect or misleading. Nothing new here.
