You never really ran ME did you? It was 98. And all those Victoria's Secret catalogues you claim to have - they're really Macy's catalogues aren't they?
Hmm, let's see... milk goes sour after 4-5 days, jeans eventually wear out, the car will likely have improvements. The music though, that stays the same for the most part - the only re-release I've bought from the Beatles in recent years was "Let it Be - Naked", which was a significant improvement on the Phil Spector "wall of sound" crap. Whatever though - anybody that owns the music on CDs, just bloody well stick the CD into your computer and import into iTunes...!
I sat next to a woman on a plane a couple of months back. She was very eager to show everybody she had one (taking pains to remove it from her bag and hold it in the air for a while as she put her backpack in the overhead), and then settled back to play some racing game which involved her leaning (and this is in first class) into me and almost thrusting the device in my face in order to control her car. I can't wait until they are as common as mobile phones and nobody cares any more....
You don't seem to have a concept of what noise-canceling headphones do. Headphones, sure, but noise-canceling technology is not going to help you on its own.
Here's me thinking you were going to argue with him about the existence of God, and all you had to comment on was his poor spelling. I can see you're a dedicated grammar/spelling Nazi by your sig.
The,8 was definitely required in a bog-standard c64/128 (i.e. without any fast-loader carts such as dolphin-dos or other things). The,1 (IIRC) meant that it was loading data - typically the user would then execute that by directly typing in the sys address to start the app. The : was used because otherwise he would have received an error on any text following the command (in this case the "PRG" file type that was left on the screen). Admittedly I didn't watch it all because I've spent way too much time waiting for c64 programs to load in my lifetime and it's not an experience I care to repeat!
As a Brit that lives in Portland, I think that I can address both of these:-) (also, funnily enough, the image posted uses a car with an Oregon plate).
@Locke2005: The Oregonian is not free. Yes, they do keep trying to give you trial subscriptions, but if you tell them to stop delivering it they will.
@Cederic: Unfortunately it's a mindset for newspaper delivery people to toss the newspaper on your driveway here. Oregon gets a great deal of rain, so typically the papers are wrapped in a non-environmentally friendly plastic wrap. We all have nice yellow newspaper mailboxes, but it's like herding cats trying to get the newspaper guy to actually use them.
Yes, I still get the newspaper delivered... There's nothing like a cup of tea and a bacon sarnie in the morning while reading the comics!
Well, emailed the director Jason Scott, and it seems he knows about it but hasn't located it either. Take a look at "Get Lamp", looks great... I really enjoyed his bbs documentary, so expecting good things.
Back in the late eighties, I saw a short documentary about Infocom on TV. It was on the BBC (or maybe Channel 4) in the UK. Does anybody know if it still exists today online? I've looked for it a few times, but not had much success. I'm familiar with the "Get Lamp" documentary which has been in production for a while, but not sure if the director has located this video.
Oh, how I wish that I had mod points. If so, I could award them to you for the most inventive and confusing use of punctuation that I've witnessed today.

it can't be an iPhone, she's holding it wrong....
Ah, Hooters Air had such potential:

Click the 'info' icon on the top of the screen and change text colour and background colour.. :-)

Oh, believe me they exist. Every time I do any consultancy work in France I have to use those keyboards.... *shudder*
I refill my girlfriends nook on a nightly basis. Unless she's on the rag (aka anal sex week)
So, is her arse known as the "cranny"?
Aren't you glad you posted as an AC.....?
One very surprised looking sperm whale and a bowl of petunias.
I always thought that RMS advocated the potential advantages of RFC1149.
and by "loading data", I mean binary code rather than some BASIC boot code.

I don't think you're going to win him over somehow.
