SMS is one of the lower level cell phone protocols, uses the least bit of bandwidth and is almost always on, even when higher level voice and data fail. Ideally, modern phones could be set up to pass SMS traffic from phone to phone, when a tower signal is unavailable. This would allow messages to get in and out of disaster areas like New Orleans during Katrina.
I have an XBox but never bought into MS's online system. Screw them! Just let me play my games. Oh, NextBox won't work my BFE Internet connection (live way out in the country with only one sucky provider (Comcast)) guess I won't be getting one then. Fucking elitist tools!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Obviously, 'the people', in keeping with 'the people' in the second ammendment, refers to gov't organized and sancioned groups and 'the press' refers to established and licensed newspapers and news reporting organizations. Of course, the right sort of large and established corporations would no doubt receive gov't approved subsidiary licenses that they can then bestow on suitably patriotic and contributory supporters.
Exactly! You see all those gw scientists driving around, flaunting their bling from their Saturns and Suburus: it just makes you sick with envy. Why can't they be more sober in appearance, wearing nice suits and driving Mercedes like the oil company execs?
The desert band that runs around 34 North will be moving north. The equatorial rain band will also be expanding but it will take some time for the former desert area to form decent top soil. The US midwest, aquafers already pumped down, will be hit pretty hard. Add in more violent weather and farming in the US will decrease. Hopefully Canada will be able to expand its agriculture. So yeah, change can cause disruption in economics and livelihood for lots of people. It shouldn't kill off the human race but can make things uncomfortable. Good thing is peoples are pretty adaptable.
I can't stand talking to humans, for basic day-to-day stuff. I don't have any great desire to answer how I'm doing or hear how other people are doing, or comment on how the weather is or what some rich guys did playing with a ball. I just want to get on with my day and not be distracted from the voices inside my head.
I use both wii and XBox all the time. Depends on the game i guess.
Also, upgrde to new Wii U? The cd drive stopped working in our Wii but instead of upgrading, picked up a refurb Wii for $80. I don't see any compelling new games that would warrant new system. For now, XBox is getting new game $$$s.

There are rings around Uranus.
You can stick your always on DRMed XBox720 up your ass. Sideways. After adding spikes.

What's a floppy?
It's pronounced: DU-fawsz.
This!
Ah, well, now that this is out of the way, the rest of the century should be rather pleasant.
Git off mah lawn!
They didn't call it The Ocho and tie it in to ESPN 8. That woulda been some great marketing there.
