You know what? DST saves *for free* millions of tons of oil worldwide. Oil supplies are being depleted at an alarming rate, and so every little bit helps to conserve it. I repeat again, DST is *free energy savings*. The only thing it costs is a few days of discomfort for people like you, so I reckon it's a really small price to pay. Speaking for myself, and most people I know, the only side effect of going to summer time is being a wee tired the evening after. Perhaps you should go to bed an hour earlier that night?
Firstly, opening your mouth and speaking up takes up more energy than pressing a button wih your thumb. Value for laziness == 0. I can see a big value for disabled people though.
Secondly, what's really needed is a TV that can recognize commercials and informercials and switch channel instantly (or switch to some radio station for the duration of the commercials), then comes back to the program when the junk is over. Cuz ya know, besides setting the volume, that's what people use their remote for when they don't go to the bathroom during the ads...
Yes, but this has the added feature of not being able to reply, "But I did it last time! Make Johhny get up and do it."
When I was a kid, we also had something called "spanking". When I was sent to get the groceries (or, well, turn the TV on when we had the old B&W TV set on vacation trips), I wouldn't have *dared* answer back to my parents in any way but respectfully, and even so, after having carefully weighted the pros and cons of opening my piehole versus keeping quiet and do it. These days kids call 911 and sue their old folks for being vaguely authoritative...
You know what? he should have gotten the tag implanted in his p*nis: can you imagine the look on his neighbours' face when he sticks his peepee in the keyhole to open your door? That'd be priceless...
Norway and Denmark: å : aa, æ : ae, ø : oe Sweden: å : aa, ä : ae, ö : oe
Not that this helps us ignorant redneck Americans any, since almost no English words have "aa" or "ae" in them. How are these sounds pronounced, anyway?
"aa" is pronounced like the danish "å" and "ae" like the swedish "ä"...
Won't putting these people in jail prevent the copyright holders of collecting damages? (Isn't that the point: that they are supposed to be reimbursed for lost money?)
Many people work in prison. The guy can apply to work at the lampshades and rattan baskets workshop and pay off his debt to the RIAA^H^H^H^HAPB in less than 10000 years.
For some drugs, like those that should diffuse into the body slowly over time, transdermal diffusion devices already exist right now. A prime example of those is the nicotine patch, and I hear there are patches for diabetes too.
As for lots of micro-needles vs. one big needle, it might not be all that new: I seem to recall getting some vaccine shot at school when I was a kid, where the nurse used some ring-looking plastic thing she put on her middle finger, with the business end of the device being a small, round "nail-bed" in her palm, and she slammed me on the shoulder with it, which probably accounts for the ugly mark I have there at that spot too:-)
Then the Overclockers come in and ramp the speed back up, and claim 'the faster chips are a ripoff' and complain that 'Windows is always crashing.'
Perhaps it's because Windows also tends to crash on normal machines too? I mean, you never hear *nix overclockers complain that their OS crashes all the time do you?

MODS ON CRACK!
The parent is NOT A TROLL, and he's bloody well right as a bonus.

Yeah.. Trouble is, your joke falls flat on its face because "conne" takes two Ns...
But but...
Look, it's weird:
Yahoo! search for asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt
Google search for asfdhfjewrtwsdfsdfgt
They're *EXACTLY* the same result pages. If that's not a proof, I don't know what is...
(By the way, re-read the parent post, it says Yahoo! *used* to use the Google engine. Not anymore...)

Too bad, you being the first post on this thread, you could have posted "last post" and it would have been on-topic and funny...
I agree. The pope's dying story is a much better april's fool.
I'd notice a guy following me around holding a reciever 3 inches from my hand...
They could blackmail your boyfriend into having an RFID reader implanted to read yours when you walk with him hand-in-hand!
Hahaha! So you think - until it becomes absolutely mandatory and illegal for you to remove them.
Well, there's always tin-foil gloves. A bit like the shiny pointy hat you have on your head, ya know...

No, they went to both, as the mention about catching viruses in the blurb suggests.
I don't believe the screenshots, I bet they've all been photoshop'ed...
Actually the Emacsputnik is a lot better, but they couldn't even lift it off the ground...
Russian Rocket fuel is nasty stuff that you don't want to be breathing in or touching.
I feel the same way with their ubiquitous cabbage soup...
Microlaika, a dwarf chihuahua, will soon be the launched onboard Nanosputnik 2 by the Sovi^H^H^H^H ISS.
Sheesh, what extiting times we live in. It almost makes that guy who claims we'll walk the on moon some day sound serious...
