I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but one method of crowd control is to play a tone that matches the natural frequency of the human bowels(about 6Hz or something low like that). Your bowels start to resonate and you lose all control. I don't know if this has ever been used but it's a cool idea.
Holy shit I can barely make out what you are trying to say. Let me clarify. Paying $1 for to buy a money order(on top of however much you want the money order for) plus postage is ridiculous for a $.25 comic. That is ALL I said. I wasn't saying money orders were stupid for ANY OTHER amount. Only in this one particular case.
trying to buy products online without a credit card should cost you MORE money than without!
Where can I buy a card? Oh, I have to use my credit card to buy one on the website? What the fuck is the point of that? Read my post and then get back to me.
Yes, $1 to buy a money order and $.37 to mail it, just for a $.25 comic. I think a better idea would be to use disposable, anonymous credit cards that everyone talked about a couple years ago. Buy a card at kmart, put however much you want on it, and then use that number to pay for stuff online. Kinda like a gift card for the internet.
I had an idea very similar to this at work the other night(I work alone overnight sometimes when the store is closed, so I have a lot of time to think). It was basically a bigger version of this, about the size of a paint roller. Anyway, it would have a wheel on each end of the roller that would detect movement. It would have several paint(or ink or whatever) nozzles along it. When you roll it along a surface it would detect how fast and how far it is moving and how much it is turning and it would shoot paint out of the nozzles(like an inkjet) to paint a picture. If this this is completely different than that tiny printer deal then let me know so I can patent this.
A lot of pink floyd albums are like that. Animals is. The division bell is kinda(all the songs are pretty much related, but they don't flow like DSotM). The of course there's The Wall, which tells a story over two discs. Wish you were here begins and ends with shine on you crazy diamond. Then Roger Waters left and PF's albums weren't as coherent as they used to be. I agree though, you can't listen to just a single song off DSotM
I don't know why the hell I got modded troll, I certainly wasn't trying to troll. All I'm saying is that some people may want these. Some people may want to spend more for something smaller. What is wrong with that? I wouldn't ever give up my computer for one of those queer little things, but I'm sure there are people out there who would. I don't think it's a matter of replaceability of components. It shouldn't be much different than fixing a tv or a vcr. And people spend much more than $700 for small things all the time(audiophiles come to mind). Size has nothing to do with how expensive it is. And how is this hard to replace? Buy another one if it breaks.
It doesn't seem as prevalent anymore. Now a lot of programs(although not as many games) are unlockable with a key, which is usually easily bypassed. Back when you had games like doom and commander keen where the shareware versions only had a couple levels you had to buy the game to get all of it, not just put in a key.
I remember back in the olden days shareware only had a couple levels(out of the many that the full version had). Therefore, there was nothing to crack. If you wanted to play the full game you had to actually buy it.

Uh... maybe the IP address is the address of a load balancer. With such a large volume of traffic as google I imagine actual load balancing equipment would be much better than some kind of round-robin dns system. In any case, I'm sure they know what they are doing.
No it wasn't the history channel thing that convinced me it wasn't a UFO. In fact there wasn't really much in that program I didn't already know. Slashdot didn't convince me it wasn't a UFO either. I've just grown up a little.
Just watched a program about this on history channel last night(instead of sleeping like I should have been). Project mogul basically consisted of very high altitude balloons(I think they said the balloons were something like 500 feet tall and went up 100000 feet) with microphones to listen for soviet nuclear testing. I used to kinda think it was a UFO that crashed, but now I just think all those people are full of shit.

I'm thinking this is just to make slashdotters able to justify their position with the opposite sex.
There were also no microchips back then. I'm pretty sure any tesla coil big enough to power a computer would also fry any chip in the room.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Yes. How come. Say that to yourself. Doesn't it sound stupid? Try using why are.
What the fuck kind of mouse doesn't do that?
That's right. But the key is that it would be able to detect turns so you wouldn't have to go in an exactly straight line(like a regular printhead).

i-opener sound is shit. Only way to get decent sound out of an i-opener is through usb audio.
That card doesn't have component out. You lose.
This would be perfect, because blind people like to go to the movies.

Dumbass. The whole point is that they are small. And if you are so retarded that you lose it than you deserve it.

Then pay with cash you paranoid freak. Or don't buy stuff.
Yeah, if you're a dumbass. It's all about survival of the fittest.
Stop doing that stupid ^H shit. IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE.
