Yeah, Hubbard was responsible for the worst movie ever made. Or rather, Travolta was. Battlefield Earth was a disaster as a movie. But not because of the content. Just that it was impossible to portray the book as a movie. Now the book, on the other hand, was incredibly brilliant. And something like 800 pages. But if you're a sci-fi fan... one you just couldn't put down.
His Dianetics book is probably where scientology came from.
While scientists state that there has to be a countless number of earth like planets out there... there can only be ONE Mars like planet. Dam these guys are good!
Yep. If they can manage a hook up for a keyboard and mouse, they won't win, they'll eliminate.
Half the hard core gamers (or more) aren't fond of controllers. If you hand one to them you'll likely get hit with it. Why the "boxes" never added an option for KB/mouse is beyond me. That's been an argument against them from day one.
Actually he never campaigned on "Obamacare". (which is actually Romneycare) He campaigned on a single payer plan that got watered down to Obamacare. Of course, very few in the states had any clue what single payer is so it was like pissing into the wind for him. He never explained it, the media never explained it. The GOP screamed socialism.
Of course everyone said they want what congress has. Not realizing they have a single payer plan.
The only drug that actually works. And I don't mean it's derivatives. Unless you are allergic to it, it's still the best drug on the market. If I have a bad cold I can shed it within 8 hours or so as opposed to something like amoxycillin which takes days at best. But since it's dirt cheap the drug companies are pushing "modern" drugs at a premium and telling you they are better.
Good move. Getting to capture the console users should prove to be quite lucrative for them.
On the other hand I always wondered why the console manufacturers never even considered adding a keyboard option to their consoles. There's a ton of folks who just hate playing with controllers. Not to mention using the on screen keyboard to type is a humongous PITA.
Canada isn't the the USA. Frivolous lawsuits are essentially illegal. If you're going to take anyone to court you may be opening one helluva can of worms for yourself.
I think you miss the point. Border guards, pretty much anywhere on the planet, have complete control over you. They don't need a reason to stop you, search you, take apart your vehicle or detain you.
If they're having a bad day, you'll be having a bad day. If they're bored, you're going to have a bad day. If they don't like your looks, you're going to have a bad day. If they really like your looks, you're going to have a bad day. If they feel like playing a joke, you're going to have a bad day.
Not totally true. The troll sees a product someone created but didn't patent and patents it himself.
Now why wouldn't someone patent an invention? Cost, time, hassle. Not everyone has the deep pockets to do it. And along comes the troll. If the law said that the troll could be sued if it could be found the product was already in production, that would be a welcome change.
That's out the window. There's a lot of commercial US companies that use a.ca,.co.uk.,.au etc. They just go to a site that "looks" like it would be in that country. But still ship from the US. And there's also a lot of.com sites that could be from anywhere. So.com is still going to be king for a long, long time.
"Why is so freaking difficult for the so-called User Interface experts at Microsoft to understand that this is a colossal fuck up to jam these two key functional areas onto the Start Screen?"
Because for some odd reason they're trying to get windows to work like a Mac. They see it taking off and think more would like the interface to work that way. They couldn't be more wrong.
The AI1's are essentially a laptop with a stand and no cover. Have fun upgrading it or fixing it when there's an internal problem. Twice the money for half the computer. Sounds like an idea Apple would come up with. Oh... wait...
Then you missed the whole point of it. As far as the truck... you can always move. Just like you can if the 7'4" behemoth parks his buns in the seat in front of you at the movies. As far as heat... it's at night. No one in their right mind went when it was 9000 degrees outside anyway. The limited season adds to the magic. After all, Christmas has a limited season as well. Most can't wait for that either.
It's about essentially being alone with your family or friend(s). Or a bunch of friends in a few cars. As pointed out before, the snack bars generally had excellent food as well. Some you just couldn't get anywhere else. And no one is going to tell you that you can't bring your own food and drinks either. Picnic baskets and coolers were common place items. Not to mention hiding a couple of folks in the trunk either.;)

On the other hand, what idiot would think hacking an emergency alert system was funny?

I thot they all did. But have you tried plugging in a keyboard and mouse?
Unless it's a "Boeing" moment 30k feet over the Atlantic. Still, I agree it's probably safer than liquid fuel.

Boomers? You haven't taken a look at congress lately.

Uh... star wars was sci-fantasy, not sci-fi.
Can't think of a single film where the heroine was illegal.
The only way a single key would make sense would be to put it "under" the keyboard.

I second that emotion.

I suppose EA wrote the program. Then used the same programming for simcity.

Toronto is the capital of what? Canada? You don't get out much, do you.
Actually there are some check points in California. Outside of that, nowhere that I know of.

Could be. But then you haven't torn down an Imac It's brutal. And they use glue and essentially duct tape to hold it together.
