Yes, but there is one dancing game and one gauntlet game. There are dozens of they types this guy listed and they all have fixed timers where your time runs out long before you "die" and they are all expensive.
I never had Legos (asked for them every christmas, but oh well), however I did have tons of Construx. They were fun to use with transformers and make big spaceships or buildings and then destroy them. The pieces came apart much easier than legos.
The rest of Russia, and even most of Europe, get by with that sort of vacation time. I don't see why they should be a special exception. If they can't get all the work done, hire more people.
Its funny how Linux people want the internet and computers to become the great euqalizer. But if its a Microsoft product that does that, all of a sudden its bad.
I've found the best way to get in touch with an unresponsive company is to e-mail the address in their DNS records. If that doesn't work, call them up on the phone number in who is.
Yeah, I started doing the unique address thing, but nothing had come of it, until ezBoard.com sold me out. And once they sold my name there was no way to opt-out. So if anyone is planning on signing up for ezBoard, don't.

As far as I know progressive scan DVD players basically do line double the image, some even do it in the analog domain, not w/ the digital data, and some even use really cheap off the shelf doublers. I believe that DVDs actually have the data interlaced on the disk. So a good line doubler should beat progressive DVD, with the exception of some high end dvd players that do the doubling digitally.
Nah, lets just de-interlace NTSC, I've seen DVDs from a regular player run through a de-interlacer and it improves the quality much more than an increace in resolution will.
You don't even need to live in a high congestion area, I live in Wilmington, DE and the local cable monopoly offers digital cable for like $20 more than regular cable. What you get is compressed-to-hell mpegs with blocky, low color flesh tones and all sorts of artifacts. I can't beleive how many people have been suckered into getting it b/c the cable co has convinced them it is an improvement.
But the 1920x1080 resolution is interlaced. Ugh. Computer users realized interlacing sucked way back in 1996 at the latest. I am sure eventually the HDTV's will up convert the 1080i resolution out of interlaced (sort of like what high end tv's and projectors do to NTSC now) but there will be all the problems and artifacts of interlacing that we have now with DVDs. What progress.
The Romans and the Muslims took their crack at buring the place down too. Not to say that what the Catholics did was ok, but they aren't the only guilty parties.
Some states don't allow you to write in. Or at least they make it as difficult as possible. For instance my home state of PA, where you don't write in the candidates name, you write in the name of the Candidates ELECTORS, all of them, in order to vote for someone who isn't on the list. Which really seems to be a great way to discourage voting for third party candidates.
Yes, and the Yellow Pages are up front about what is a paid placement and what isn't. All this group wants is for the search engines to have the same policy.
But technically isn't everything a "download", I mean really what's the difference between grabbing a.html and a.zip, just beause one is displayed immediately and one is stored doesn't change the fact that they are both downloaded.
Actually, the difference between cd's and tapes in a car is night and day, even with the stock stereo system. Plus most people collections have ballooned up to dozens if not hundreds of cds. Copying a small subset to tape when you want to listen to them in the car is pointless. Why not just copy it all to a digital format like mp3.

Punkin chunkin is great, I've been there the past 2 years running and I'll be there again this year. Interesting combo of rednecks and geeks.
My bank's online account system makes me use my SSN as an account name.

You wouldn't need speech recognition, you could use closed captioning.
Ikea baby, Ikea.
Maybe some of the UI design could migrate over to Linux too. :)
Lets rephrase that:

Well, I don't believe C++ will ever reach the speed of assembly, but then again 'good enough' will usually do: Just look at Windows
Now will you people give up this silly argument?
What about the Far Side?

Why not sell t-shirts with nice big pictures of police officers and FBI agents that have been pickued up on cameras?

Yes kids, remember in America you can only sell your vote if you are already an elected representative, preferably in Congress.
Some states don't allow you to write in. Or at least they make it as difficult as possible.

Well, your certainly welcome to take a copy of all my wealth if you want. :)
