There's always the classic controller and if all else fails, I remember reading that there will be inputs for gamecube controllers on the side somewhere.
So don't give up on the Wii yet!
reading everyone's comments, it seems the basic assumption is that all of your documents/spreadsheets will be stored on google's servers.. but thats not necessarily the case.
nothing says that you cant load/save your work locally from/on your hd or fd or usb or whatever other media you may happen to want to use. i mean, they very well could incorporate that without too much difficulty, if its not already.
sweet. firefox has got to be by far the coolest, most "right on" web browser i've ever used. I tried using IE the other day at work. *cringe* i missed my firefox. it's not surprise that so many people in the downloading public obviously agree.
way to go firefox team.
ps: speaking of firefoxes.. i got some booty last nite:) thought i'd share.;)
Was there any real reason for non-explorers to visit North America back in the 1400-1500s?
Sure.. even if they weren't "explorers", i'm sure many of the people who came over here were after other things, like potantially acquiring vast ammounts of wealth, or possibly just to escape from their otherwise oppressive homeland.
Just two reasons off the top of my head.. im sure you can think of others if you really try.;)
I thought I was going crazy once upon a time. As it turned out, I was just really high and my best friend, who was always at my side, turned out to be the one with the problem. We would sit around and play music (we were in a band) and in between songs, he would start talking, and telling me things, and it would just make me start thinking all wierd and freaking me out.
Actually, in retrospect, it was kinda funny. Sad, but funny. When I had him committed (a hard thing to do, btw), his parents found garlic scattered all over his bed (to keep the vampire who lived in his room at bay while he slept). He used to tell me that as he drove, birds would dart across the road in front of his car, and as they did, they would say things to him. Quickly and almost unintelligably, but they spoke. The trees had alot to say too.
I remember once we found this strange ball in his room on the floor.. neither one of us had ever seen it before.. but it freaked us out! He insisted it emanated evil!! We picked it up (without touching it.. i think we wrapped it in newspapers) and got in the car and drove like an hour away to throw it deep into a lake we knew of.
Kind of strange, almost like its contageous! Power of suggestion.... the mind is a strange and powerful thing.
The last episode I know of, he was found on the floor of his kitchen, passed out holding two plastic kool-aid type pitchers. Apparently, some higher-being had appeared to him, and directed him into the kitchen cabinets, where he found these two magical pitchers which he had never before seen in his life. He then proceeded to fill them with water and immediately chugged both of them (mind you these were not small pitchers). I guess he was supposed to have gained some sort of super-human powers by doing this?
Wow. Being a schizophrenic is tough man. He was always a little different... but what I think triggered the onslought of delusions was the one and only time he tried lsd. It was all down hill after that.
He's doing much better now, having been institutionalized twice. After trying various different medications, they finally found one that seems to stabilize him (more than the rest) and he's living a happy life, still making music, doing the things he does.
you've never smoked a honeyblunt? you're missing out.
whether or not it gives you a better buzz is relative to you. will the lip-smacking tasty goodness make ou want to keep smoking more? or will it overwhelm you with gooey goodness and make you put it down? (like cheesecake. I can only have a few bites before i have to stand down. so rich and delicious!)

How much do you pay for the time commercials are shown on cable channels? How much money per month is spent on electricity, during the times when the TV is being used to display advertisements in your home?
Well, the way i see it is like this. TV stations that I watch, produce good shows. In order for them to make the shows as good as they are, a decent sized budget is usually required.
If I'm not mistaken, tv-channels make most of their money through advertising. So if my watching a commercial or two helps tv-stations keep afloat and continue to produce quality programming, i dont mind it. Besides, commercial time = great bathroom break time, etc, for those 'edge of your seat' shows you just dont want to get up from.
ISPs, however, dont make money from spam being sent out. Granted, this doesn't include isp's that sell their customer lists to spammers... But still, my point works just the same. ISPs don't make money from spam being mailed out to their customers. I dont benefit from my box filled with junk.
I dont know.. I feel like tv-commercials are a little bit more justified.. and usually are more entertaining or actually informative in some way or another... spam is always the same thing.
I dont need bigger breasts. I dont need viagra. My girl isnt at all dissatisfied about my size...well she wouldnt be if she existed..:( I dont want to see your lesbian cheerleaders sucking elephant extremities while taking fists up their.. posteriors... on webcam...
I do, however, want to know about the latest and greatest video games for sale at my local (insert store name here), or about the cool new summer blockbuster movies coming out at a theater NEAR YOU THIS FRIDAY!!....
It just seems like tv-advertisers actually bother to find out what times people who would like their product are watching tv.. they actually do the research and come close to showing me all the right commercials.
Ok. I just totally rambled off. Sorry. Back to work:-/
In an unnattended news briefing, it was announced that Merged BSD 1.0 will be due out sometime early next October. It has been speculated that the long awaited compilation will be the downfall of Microsoft once and for all. Rumor has it that using a special new technology, dubbed the "evil bit", Merged BSD will enable its users to attain global conquest.
Unsettling disruptions have been coming up all over the community, and it appears that the logo will be changed from the friendly bsd demon, to the fierce and more appropriately menacing King-Kong. The release of the Merged BSD compilation will coincide with a recently announced remake of the classic movie, "King King Lives", due in October, as previously mentioned.
George Foreman has agreed to do promotional advertising for Merged BSD, and as tribute will be tossing in special recipies in with his new product the iGrill, such as the infamous kong-burgers.
The George Foreman iGrill now provides an 'evil bit' that can set to infuse the food with "the essense of evil" as it cooks, while still draining unhealthy grease and oils.
Super villains worldwide are lining up at their local geek-shops waiting to get their villainous hands on one. Healthy people around the world are doomed!
As an additional added bonus, upon purchasing the now infamous iGrill, you will receive a coupon that will ensure that you dont pay alot for your next muffler.
Did you see that south park episode where it's a rerun of the alien eposide where cartman gets that satellite transmitter up his ass...
Kyle: *reaches out to stick his hand up Cartman's butt, in order to activate the satellite* Cart: *fart!* Everyone: *laugh* Cartman: Ok, sorry Kyle. I'm all out of farts now. Go ahead. Kyle: *reaches out* Cartman: *fart!* Everyone: *laugh* Cartman: Hahaha, no no, I'm really out of farts now Kyle. Go ahead for real now. Kyle: *reaches out* Cartman: *fart!*

and you know if it says so on google, it HAS to be true.
although i've assumed this for a long time, and didn't really need googlefight to confirm this for me.. its always good to be able to know something for fact.
if a picture says more than a thousand words, i tremble at the thought of having to listen to that many words and then some once these pictures are actually given a voice... given the ammount of pictures i see on any given day...
isn't there already more than enough noise pollution in this world?
might as well give my girlfriend the ability to forgo breathing in between shouting-spouts.. although i speculate as to whether or not she already has this gift..:-X
i could see this really taking off in the hand-held market, where the machines are really small and would benefit from having less components to have to cram into their small encasing..
Didn't the old beetles used to have a problem where they could explode if they were rear-ended?
Maybe meteors are really extraterrestrial mini-space ships.
I can see it now:
Froton hops into his brand new 2003 VW Meteor and heads down to the local interstellar watering hole. Downs a couple pints of ice cold plasmatoid, and decides its time to pay his ex-girlfriend a "special visit"
On his way, he makes a wrong turn, accidentally flips on warp drive, loses control, and crashes recklessly into a random planet, burning up in the atmosphere.
