All those zeros will ease the pain of 2011 being the first year since 1977 that no one could make year-shaped glasses for new year's eve that actually allow you to see out of both eyes.
I had already ordered a Droid X when I learned about the anti-hacking measures. So I returned it without activating it, waited a couple months, and bought a no-contract Nexus S.
Driving is fun when you're out driving for fun. But the daily commute is annoying and tedious. Especially with high traffic and traffic jams, such a system could free a lot of time for the occupant of the car.
Bingo. What I loathe about driving in traffic is not the higher latency, or even the loss of my time, but the (nearly) forced labor of having to drive with maximum attentiveness and minimal reward. The freedom to read a book or hack on my laptop instead would eliminate the time loss and the laborious aspect, leaving only the issue of arriving later.
You would be hard-pressed to find a place that's actually called "The Clothing Store" or "The Department Store", because they are almost certainly not trademarkable names: a competition could open right next door and call themselves "The Clothing Store" and the original store wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Holy moley, my unoptimized naive (backtracking) solution written in C would solve the hardest puzzles in under 30 seconds, on my 900mhz netbook no less.
My solver takes less than half a second on 9x9 puzzles and finishes 16x16 ones in less than five seconds, running on an 800MHz PowerPC in Mac OS 9. It's written in Perl.
Then again, it's far from naive. Mostly it alternates between ruling out possible answers and deducing answers by elimination of other possibilities. When that runs out, it checks for saturation -- if cell A must be either 1 or 2 and cell B must also be either 1 or 2, then 1 and 2 are spoken for within any group containing A and B and can be ruled out for other cells in those groups. Then it checks every intersection of a box and a row or column -- any answers that can't be assigned outside the intersecting cells of one group can't be assigned to the other group outside the intersection either.
Finally, if that leads to a dead end, it looks for a cell with only two possible answers, and tries both hypothetically. If one leads to a contradiction, it's ruled out; otherwise, the new information obtained from each path is compared and anything deduced from each path independently is added to the original data set, using the logic that ((P -> Q) ^ (~P -> Q)) implies Q regardless of P. If necessary this could be generalized to cells with more than two possible answers, but I haven't encountered a puzzle where this was necessary.
This solver works on any NxN sudoku (where N is square), at least theoretically since after 25x25 you run out of letters. Goggles only recognizes 9x9, it seems.
If world peace was simple, then how come we still haven't had a world peace yet?:P
Because collectively, there's insufficient interest. World peace means you can't go around beating up people you don't like, and for some that's a deal-breaker.
Most people forget he originally said he wouldn't run for President because he didn't have enough experience. He turned right around and started running for President about a year and half in to being a Senator. So much for truth and honesty.
Changing one's mind about future plans does not equal lying.
Why does every statement from a lib dem start with, "Well, look at what the republicans did!!! We're better" type of crap. THAT is the reason I will never vote dem.
I highly doubt that. I suspect that your mind was already made up before you made this observation.
Your complaint is not that Democrats say they're better when they're not, nor do you charge them with hypocrisy. You're upset merely because they claim to be better, and you don't present any evidence that this isn't, in fact, the case.
We build better helicopters then Airwolf. Seriously. They can hid, target thing while hidden, stealth. The can do loops barrel rolls and walk on their nose. Airwolf is shit by todays standards.
"Airwolf is the Holy Grail. The Golden Fleece. The thing you want that you cannot have. When you go sprinting through the mall desperate to fill the emptiness in your life through the purchase of name brand clothing and electronics, you will never achieve satisfaction. Because the one brand name you really want is the one you can never have.
Airwolf? Oh, I'm sorry, we're all sold out. That item was only available for a very limited time and in very limited supply...

What about 2010? It has the same issues as 2011.

Going to be fun for heavy sleepers.. fall asleep for a couple of hours.. oops, you're now 150 miles past your destination!
For that matter, it's a risk even just playing on the laptop.

Oh yeah, because trains are sooo 21st century.
This is coming from someone named 'coal-train'. :-)
But you're right. Instead we should have self-piloting jetpacks.
For a metal bikini you'd probably want something lighter, like aluminum. Especially if it's transparent.
I suppose I'm not proud of it, but am I the only one who felt a sense of glee at the idea of Facebook investors getting screwed?
No.
So, does anybody out there know of any worm, virus, trojan, or other malware that actually comes with a manifesto to explain it's existence/purpose?
I thought the "Vote for Dukakis!" HyperCard virus was pretty self-explanatory.
Anonymous is legion, but on occasion, some Anonymous are very, very stupid. When Anonymous ceases to be anonymous, Anonymous thinks it's pretty funny.
Anonymous are a mutated form of Marklar.
Yes, he's in fact actually named for one of the employees.
I spotted his name in the credits of Lord of Destruction. I've only been waiting a decade or so to ask someone about it. :-)
How about Charsi? Is that a play on "char c"?
No kidding. I worked 80+ for 1.5 years on Diablo II. That hurt. And I was still considered the guy who didn't spend enough time in the office.
So, Shenk the Overseer is a real person?
No. Do they sell Java applications?
No, but they do sell jars.

You've never heard of The Container Store?

Tits shouldn't even be on the list, it sounds like a snack.
Betcha can't eat just one...
Wow. First you deny them a nice binary blob and force them to build from the source code. What's next? Throwing them into the briar patch?
Cloud 2? My company is working on Cloud 3 Premium Services. We're skipping version 2 altogether...
Oh yeah? My company is six versions ahead of yours. We're on Cloud 9. Dude... it's awesome.
