Are Ikea products at least on average shipped with the correct number of screws, bolts and parts?
I've purchased fourteen pieces of Ikea furniture. I have yet to get one that didn't have all the pieces necessary, and if you should be unlucky enough to be missing parts, replacements can be obtained from Ikea easily.
Chrono *Cross*, not Trigger. Although you can get the PSOne version of Trigger too. The load times might be better from the memory/hard disk, but you're still probably better off with the Virtual Console.
Because we're not Greek. English letters for the English language! Also, theta doesn't represent a voiced th, as in "them", which eth handles (thorn being the voiceless th).
With that said, what the fuck is up with all of the crappy/. stories from fucking art students and other idiots who think they have a fucking clue about technology, language or anything fucking else. Seriously, this place has gone down hill. Why is this on/. at all?
Give it this, it's not as eye-watering stupid as the "encrypted" font was...
Mine was "Close the blast doors, close the blast doors...*open the blast doors!". I was really surprised when I was talking about the movie with some younger fans and they didn't remember that moment, because it had been edited out of the release they'd seen; apparently it wasn't on the first home releases either. While Lucas has done some awful edits (he should be strung up just for making Greedo shoot first), one of the good things he did was put that back into the latest editions.
It did when I saw the original theatrical release on opening day in1978.
Except that Star Wars premiered in 1977. And it did not say "Episode 4" when it did. I was there, and it didn't. It did get a 1978 re-release, but "Episode IV" was not placed into the title crawl until the 1981 re-release (after The Empire Strikes Back proclaimed itself "Episode V" in its original 1980 release).
Yep, there's nothing like contemplating Star Wars' release date to make you feel old. Yes, I remember watching it when it came out--multiple times, in theaters, which I don't think I ever did with any other movie.
Remember when the Hubble telescope first went up, and could not focus? It had all been tested on the ground on an artificial star target. Unfortunately, the test rig had a plate that was about half-an-inch thick that should have been subtracted from the optical path. So they had a mirror that was accurate to about 1/100th of a wave but half an inch in the wrong place.
It gets better. There were *two* tests; the other one was a more basic test that wasn't as accurate--but it was accurate enough to show the misgrinding of the mirror clearly. It was ignored, because, after all, it wasn't as accurate. So always remember, accuracy doesn't do you any good if you're accurately zeroing in on the wrong target.
If you look at what happened with the DRM fiasco, we had Don insulting his customers saying basically that DRM was for their own good but also importantly that it couldn't be removed, then within a couple of days you had it removed including detail of the implications that had on other systems and features which is not a mere couple of days work to evaluate properly.
And how would Ballmer have done it differently? He'd have refused to backtrack, which, as humiliating as it was, was the smartest thing Microsoft could have done at that point.
Not really, I grew up in the 60's, most middle class households with school aged kids had a set of encyclopedia,
But few had Britannica, which was regarded as the gold standard and was notably more expensive. Our family had World Book, which was a favorite of people who didn't want to shell out for the Britannica.
Gosh darn it, if you start using this new-fangled "writing" to write everything down, you'll forget how to remember anything! (And as far as we can tell, yes, this was an argument made at the time)
Let's be fair here. GPS is not a feature of internet, but for most people, effective use of it is. The position returned by GPS is not much use unless you have a map database to give it context, and these days, over 90% of users will be pulling that data off the Internet.
Slashdot Mirror
But the Xbox One is eighth generation...
No, you start at "What's New". This generally contains shortcuts to the Store, yes, along with shortcuts to your most recently played games.
I imagine the ones that are designed for outdoor use would manage quite nicely, thank you.
I can't think of where there are currently any refugees (at least, in large numbers) in cold places, no. Odd, really. Does anyone else know of any?

Virtual Console? Chrono Cross has, I believe, been re-released as a PSone Classic on the PS3/PSP/PS Vita as well.
Sometimes they just refuse to comment.

Say hello to the Chinese keyboard.
I insist on the return of thorn and eth to the language! If only slashdot's character support wasn't utterly broken, I could type them here...
...and I must scream.

And yesterday it said January 1, 2014. Who knows what it'll say tomorrow?

Well, he was closely involved with Bob.
You must be tremendously disappointed with all print media news everywhere.

...to get everybody in the class to show up wearing one of these.
