The dominant CPU maker is releasing a new CPU and a new socket. That's news for nerds. It may not be the most exciting news for nerds ever, but it's still news. The 150 Watt consumption is somewhat interesting.
You could also get a receipt from the casino on the way out showing how much you lost. After the initial sting of failure, you can write that loss off on your income tax return.
I love how conservatives still have a giant bug up thier butt about Bill Clinton. When he was in charge, and there were no wars and the economy was great, conservatives would blame anything that was wrong on Clinton. Bush has been in charge for three years this month and conservatives are still blaming everything bad on Bill Clinton. It's unbelievable.
"Many recent studies have shown that humans may not be a significant cause of global warming"
Think about two things: The snow along the sides of the road is dark gray. The skyline, especially in the summer, is yellow-brown. So maybe the Earth's climate is changing slightly naturally. We're diffinately doing bad things to our enivornment that we need to stop.
if only they had a monopoly on venues as well as production
They used to and they would if they could. They are forbidden by law. Actually, the studios are charging the theaters so much to show the crappy films they produce that the theaters have to charge 8.50 and 9 bucks just to break even.
since up until Sept 11th noone thought anyone would *willingly* crash the plane.
The Kamikaze pilots weren't terribly effective, but they sure as hell willingly crashed some planes. I hadn't heard of any passenger planes before. Can you give some details?
I'm not above average and I should be treated like everyone else. That being said, I'm still fully capable of driving properly while using my cell phone.
If I'm driving unsafely, give me a ticket. Please, If I'm swerving out of my lane, kick my ass for it. But if I'm driving a safe speed, a safe distance from the car in front of me, and staying in my lane, then why can't I talk on the phone, watch a DVD, and make a smoothie on a little blender?
The legal problem is that driving isn't a basic right. They can make any crazy ass law about driving. I dare anyone to live in Atlanta and say that they don't NEED to drive.
It's like the TV commercials for bad movies. Across the whole screen it says "AMAZING". The original quote is "It's amazing this film was actually given a theatrical release."
I agree about the shark attack reporting. But I only go in the ocean once every few years. I keep a LiIon battery in my front pocket for most of my waking hours. Anything that MIGHT be a problem is worth hearing about when the possible outcome is getting my nuts burned off.
If anyone watches the Howard Stern radio/TV show on E, he had a Real Doll sitting in a chair for a while. It looks very much like a hot woman who has recently died. Actually doing anything with one seems beyond creepy. For the thousands it costs to buy, you could get dozens of quality hookers. I don't get it.
And about two thirds of Americans believed that Iraq was involved in the 9/11 attacks. Even after Bush very quietly said that it wasn't the case, people still believe it. If Iraq is the "central front in the war against terror" then they must be the terrorists who attacked us.
My favorite quote of the week is from George Bush. When asked if the US was still looking for actual WMD or evidence of intentions to aquire WMD, Dubya replied "What's the difference?"
It's funny that most geeks really admire Paul Allen and Steve Wozniak but hate Gates and Jobs.
My favorite mega-rich guy is Marc Cuban (The Dallas Mavericks owner who wisely sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for cold cash when everyone else at the time was selling for stock). He acts like I imagine I would if I had a billion dollars.
They're actually wearing the Middle Earth version of Stormtrooper armor. It looks pretty cool, but rocks thrown by little cute characters are its weakness.

I'm terrified in the "holy shit that girl looks like she lives under a bridge and eats children" kind of way. Maybe you're into that.

I would want the 2001 Christina Aguilera. Is anyone else frightened by the 2004 Christina?

You're so wrong. Bush is evil for dozens of unrelated reasons. Being a hypocritical liar comes to mind.
Hubble fun fact: Musician/Actor Jack Black's mom was one of the main designers of the telescope.

I'm not a big electronic music fan and I really like Aphex Twin. They did the soundtrack for the movie Pi and helped make the movie trippy and great.

He was also the contractor, Brad Shirk, in The Money Pit. That's a funny damn movie.

Everything you listed is preferrable to getting myself and/or my loved ones killed in a quake. I can replace stuff.

"the entire internet was shut down for a day or so to switch over to IPV4"
And how many billions of dollars in business occured online each day back then?

Clinton and Clark did not get one US soldier killed in the Balkans.
"Had as much to do with the Republicans in congress as it did the president."
Those Republicans are still there and the economy sucks. Maybe it's the massive tax cuts for the wealthy that might be the problem.

Jobs and Woz gave us a cool bit of geek lingo for when any two people start a business venture.
The ambitious competitor is the "suit". The introverted tinkerer is the "beard".
