So that's what all those yellow dots next to people's names mean! When the hell did we get all this newfangled tech-no-lo-gee? Somebody should've told me my infamy was being quantified somewhere.
See, if you'd ever been a teacher, you'd know better then that. You tell the little fuckers all about the Spanish-American war, how Linkin Park sucks, how nobody wants to read another shitty blog and next year they walk right back in the door with new faces and the same stupid brains.
I'm not sure how much that'll help. You're going to need enough people on the convoy to defend it anyway, even if you make a computer drive. How long do you think it'll take before the kids along your supply route figure out how to glitch out the sensors to make it think it's surrounded by brick walls and you lose $200 million in ammo to some punk teenagers? You're going to need just as many people to scare off the kids as you do to drive it normally.
I think you're confused. About many things, but mostly Haiti. Hispaniola was purged of all it's natives by the Spanish in the 15th and 16th centuries. In the 17th century, France built a colony on the western end of the island called Hati, filling that end with all these French people, inducing Spain to give the western third of the island to France. France grew sugar there with large numbers of African slaves through around 1800, when the slaves quit taking that shit and killed all the French people. Then they took turns killing eachother until 1990, when they decided to try some democracy and elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide president. Then they tried to kill him, so he ran away until the UN told Clinton to sent some marines to give him his job back. He got elected again in 2000, but some old people voted for Buchanan and they tried to kill him again, so Bush told him to fuck the hell off before we bust a cap in your ass. Then the UN told Clin^H^H^H^HBush to send some marines to give him his job back.
There's no island, really, the French haven't given a shit since 1804, and nothing's happened yet for anyone to look at, besides the traditional post-election coup and Bush being an asshole to Aristide.
I'd guess that really wiping dust off would scratch the panels, maybe only a little, but enough that it's better to just let the single grains accumulate instead of long scratches. But you'd think if Lens Crafters can make scratch-resistant plastic NASA could too...
Ok, I looked up how Pathfinder died, and it looks like the lifespan on the rover there was dictated by how many day/night temperature changes the electronics could take. I'm guessing that they just can't get a circuit board to put up with that, so everything else only has to last as long as a bit of solder that somebody's popping in and out of a freezer every 12 hours.
I'd like to hear that argument. I mean, it's not like there's a shortage of names for Jews that have real negative mental stigmas. I am Jewish, therefore I am a Jew. What else are we supposed to use, The People Formerly Known as Hebrews?
And Apache has to have more of a negative mental stigma than Jew in any case. The people we named Apaches originally called themselves Nida. Apache is "enemy" in the language of a nearby tribe. (Who themselves had the misfortune to have been renamed to a funny-sounding nonsense-word by the Spanish.) It's like we discovered France by way of England and started putting "Cheese-eating Surrender Monkeys" on all our maps instead of France, and then to add insult to injury, started naming our ejector seats after them even after we realized our mistake.
What the fuck are you talking about? You can't burn yourself with 130-degree coffee. I could immerse you in 130-degree coffee and not hurt you. Not badly. However, 200-degree coffee can fuck you up pretty damn nicely, which is what happened. Serving 200* coffee is pointless, it keeps brewing in the cup while you drink it, and it burns. Why the hell are you so desperate to have them burn your fucking coffee that you're willing to sacrifice some old lady's clit for it?
Well shit in my fucking cotton candy why don't you. I hit preview. You said it was all good, slashdot. Yeah? Well, fuck you, get the fuck out then, and take your stinky fucking shampoo with you.
I've never seen it in first, every time I've checked it's been second place. They'd probably do a better job if they could agree on a distraction, they're split between Jimmy Carter and Hillary and Michael.
My name's Michael too, pisses the fuck out of me that people actually will get it wrong. It's not like it's an uncommon name. Sometimes it's a typo, but some people just can't remember the A is first. Anyway, I came up with a little story to teach you how to spell Micheal.
Michaelangelo is an Ninja Turtle. That's because "Michael" is an "angel". All angels have names that end in -el, because in the Canaanite pantheon from ancient Lebanon (or therabouts) servents/priests of the Zeus/Jupiter-esque king of the gods, El, attached the -el suffix to their names in the way we would use Rev. today. So servants of a later wise, bearded, mountaintop-dwelling diety get the -el suffix as well, which is an easy mistake to make when you're not alowed to say exactly which G-d you're talking about. Kal-El also gets the -el suffix, because he flies and rescues people, and was invented by some Jewish guys who know these things. So if you want to know how to spell Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, or any other angel names, remember that they're related to Superman, so -el always comes last.
Jesus Christ. I really don't get this freakish harping over the goddamn X-Prize. Holy shit! It's like a Mercury mission, only as an end result rather than a test flight for a real goal. Up to three minutes of weightlessness! That's almost as much as a Vomit Comet flight! Wait, not really, but hell, sign me the fuck up anyway!
I could understand if they were opening up some profitable market that would encourage actual space projects, but no, they're selling $10,000 rollercoaster rides. Great, we're just skipping the whole "useful" stage and going right to where we abandon the technology except for novelty rides and cruises. Ok, so it's worth the money to keep John Carmack from making any more games, but do we really have to pretend it's useful for anything else?
But at the same time, ME journals don't usually hire retarded 1920s Jazz band promoters that have somehow gotten themselves addicted to crack to come up with their jargon. Hey, the auds like the space oater from Whedon's shingle? That's just ducky, daddy-o, now where's the giggle water, I wanna get blotto before we blow this joint!
Well that'll work out great then. You get rid of your price-regulated Verizon phone line and get an unregulated Verizon cell phone and Verizon DSL. Verizon gets to fire all it's local phone people and you go bankrupt! Everybody wins!
Can't expect anything if you don't pay for it, eh? Hell, sometimes people ask me for directions when I'm out walking my dog, and I'll send them in the totally wrong direction! Just for the hell of it! Sure, some of them look pretty desperate to get wherever they're going, but they're not paying me or anything, so it's not like it's wrong to lie to them.
I just opened up like 90,000 Slashdot tabs in 3 instances of 0.8 and it just closed itself out. XP SP1 stayed up fine. Maybe with more RAM it'll show up, but with 256 megs I get nothing.
It'll integrate with the page, it'll work, it's for an entirely different purpose than Flash.
Look, go to Macromedia's page. You have a little menu there in Flash. That's pretty bad design. I'm browsing, I right-click on a text link in the body, I can open it in a new window, a new tab, send the link to my email client, bookmark it, etc. I right-click on a menu item, I get "about flash player". You give the browser control, and that's no longer a problem. You stick to standards and the browser can treat items in your graphic just like HTML items that perform the same function.
If you're using Flash in a way that doesn't seem wrong or clumsy now, then you probably shouldn't replace it with SVG. SVG just lets you use the good parts of vector graphics and animation without feeling guilty about it.
Here's Gabe's post. Complete with the link to the Alexa stats. You see that one spike in infiniumlabs.com's hits, the one that's just about double the next biggest spike they ever had? Yeah, you guessed it, that's the day the dog-killing comic went up and PA linked to them.
I just want some goddamn multiplayer already. I don't even care if it's online, I just want to be able to sit in the back of the damn pickup truck with the rocket launcher while somebody drives me around.
I think he's just recognizing that the sooner we outsource all our jobs to China, the sooner we get through the series of bloody revolutions that split the US into a number of autocratic fiefdoms and the sooner we can just settle down and get used to subsistence farming on feudal plantations.

Goddamnit, not flamebait, hilarious.
Volvo came out with something recently, didn't they? Of course I'm sure it sucks, but that's what you get for buying American.

I guess they're just getting the jump on the innevitable number skip they'll have to make to get their sequel number as high as the Playstation's
Like it said, on par.

i'd be happy to pay speakeasy's 100/month for 3M/756kbps dsl.
Well, ok, so you're an idiot, but some of us like to spend our money on food and clothes, and whatnot.

That's kinda the point. Driver's realistic, almost, GTA gives you 0-130 in 6 seconds on wet sand.
