I can picture it now it's a small gold two-sided key. I know it well from my old vending machine repairman days, it was mostly for (crappy) Rock-ola jukebox machines and also we use it as a jackpot key on the slot machines where I work.
Here is south eastern Canada prices in my area fell to 95 cents/litre for regular fuel from a high of about $1.20 ($1.35 last year after Hurricane Katrina), everyone is really happy! I use diesel, it's about the same but a few years ago it used to be 30 to 40 cents cheaper.
btw the other day I bought some printer ink which works out to approximately $30,000/US gallon.
The first thing I thought of when I read the post heading was 1984, I wonder if it is available in China? Someone should send a book to each member of the Chinese government.
"Has anyone seen my car keys? I set them right next to the collider."
This reminds when I read Brian Greene's Elegant Universe, he mentioned that there was a possibilty of creating another Universe when (if it were possible) smashing together Superstrings. Something like that, I'm not sure where I put the book.

"I find it...utterly stupid that people display their lives online..."
I've always wondered if it was possible to do that since a microphone and speaker are pretty much the same thing,generally speaking. I'm surprised there isn't a virus (or the US NSA) out there now that does this.
But if it is true I'll never use another Google product, search engine or even utter the name Google.
Oh to live in Canada, try calling a government department and try to get an answer from a "Fringlish" speaker who thinks they know English, with a chip on their shoulder to boot. Seems to be a heavy bias of them in Government jobs.
When it comes to music and movies there are now so many restrictions being demanded by entertainment corporations to prevent anyone from copying or storing any type of music or movie that I think companies such as Apple are giving up.
Hire an actor, rent a van, put on a vinyl sign "Mosquito Eater repairman" (or whatever the device is called), the actor will tell him he is there to repair the device, shake head and say the dilithium crystals are shot, get a "new" mosquito eater from the van, replace it with one that looks like it works but doesn't really it just lights up.
I'm surprised they're bothering - I imagine it's be cheaper to just use either pre-fab houses or trailers.
You don't understand, they do all that already but there is nothing left! There are so many people going to work there that every shack, trailer, mobile home, tent or cardboard box is being used.
If you want to know where high paying jobs are go to Alberta, Canada it's insane!
McDonald's workers are getting $15/hour, signing bonuses and $100 extra pay if you show up for all your shifts that week.
Housing is a bit of a problem, there's a booming business finding old homes, ripping them off their foundation and dragging them to Calgary.
Calgary is sprawling outward at an incredible rate, it's bigger in area than NY city.
It's all from oil, tar sands that is, Canada exports oil since we make more than we use. The US gets about 10% of its oil from Canada and that will probably increase due to the US public's of growing concern about "foreign oil".
People are going there by the thousands every day, it's crazy!
"... it gives us pause for thought when we to heavily on Wikipedia."
If someone uses only one source for their information they deserve what they get!
The fact the page was vandalized on one day doesn't mean Wikipedia is inferior either, it would have been corrected. One error doesn't mean the end of the World.
All Canadians (minus a few militant Quebecers I suppose) were counting down the days to July 1 anyway since it's our nation's birthday!...insensitive clods!
If you wore glasses (I do) I'm sure you'd find some way to convince yourself it would be worth the risk. I can't even wear contacts for more than an hour my eyes are so sensitive, I've tried for over ten years to get a pair of contact lenses that work. Having really bad astigmatism doesn't help either.
I'd love to wear contacts the periferal vision was the first thing I noticed, I couldn't believe what I had to put up with wearing glasses, it's like a whole new world. Really I am missing half my vision.
Rain is the worst, I used to love the rain but now rain means no vision since I can't see through water on my glasses and I can't take them off because my vision is so blurry without them.
If I had the money I'd have surgery to correct my vision, I'd research it too I wouldn't go cheap and I may just do one eye at a time.
Captain Copyright should encourage all the children to spy on their friends and family just to make sure they are not doing something wrong. Maybe the good spies will get a free uniform, a nice tan shirt and black pants with a black, white and red arm band.
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Such as a blog?

Thank god he's crouching.

And right after the conference I bet someone said after seeing it, "Wow doesn't that microphone make him look pretentious?"
"...Xfree86 has been started and has launched the FVWM95 window manager..."
Bah! I remember that! Wow, when I first tried Linux and didn't know what the hell was going on and that virtual desktop confused teh hell out of me.
The demand is there!
When it comes to music and movies there are now so many restrictions being demanded by entertainment corporations to prevent anyone from copying or storing any type of music or movie that I think companies such as Apple are giving up.
Now everyone is saying "there's no demand".
Cue evil laugh from corporate CEOs.

What ever made you think of using K-Y Jelly as a crack filler?

Yeah I thought of a Cornstarch solution too, less glamorus than "nanobits" I guess.
I just thought wouldn't filling a balloon with the Cornstarch solution be a really mean trick!

I wonder how much that bad boy will cost after they send in the mail-in rebate.

They were a 1970's group, they had a hit called "Aquarius".
