Sorry, when they replayed Larry Fine goes to Woodstock they still had the bleeps.
Stern has not innovated anything on satellite. At best he's a spokesmodel.
Howard has turned into the celebrity that he despised back when he was hungry and trying to make a name for himself. I cancelled Sirius a few weeks ago because Stern didn't live up to the hype. Listening to anything for twenty years is too long.
One of the things people aren't taking into account about all the new subscriptions is the fact they're being generated by bulk sales to auto manufacturers. Stern is a distant second when it comes to the reason for new subscribers.
Plus Stern's not doing anything new or innovative considering his newfound freedom from his arch-nemesis of the FCC. He's coasting until his contract is up in 2011 so he can retire.
It's important to keep a book dry and out of the reach of insects but today books are being printed on paper which is highly acidic. When you find a book with yellowed pages, that's from the acid taking its toll on the paper fibers. The reason why really old books from the Renaissance and earlier have survived to this day is because they are printed on rag not pulp! In 500 years even a carefully preserved hardcover book will be extraordinarily fragile.

Boy oh boy does that sound familiar. Thank God no one else has described citizens of any other country in such disparaging terms.
The International Space Station would be a good idea if they put it at L4 or L5. Sadly the Russkies can't make it that high with their equipment so humanity is stuck piddling around in LEO with no chance of going any further in the near future.
Keanu Reeves "stares" in lots of movies. I believe the look is called "dull surprise" as described for Kathy Ireland who appeared in "Alien from L.A." via MST3K.
Doing anything more to Hot Wheels, other than making gimmicky collectible cars and racing sets, is just gilding the lily. Kids still get hours of enjoyment out of big, empty boxes that held the expensive high tech toy from their parents. No one except for some hardcore, completist geek would want a web-enabled, 802.11e Hot Wheels Corvette that can store megabytes of songs.
IE is still going to be bloated with legacy code and remain noncompliant with W3C standards. Regardless of the bells and whistles, it will only have an audience through user inertia or ignorance of alternatives like Opera or Firefox.
Look here, when it comes to games I don't want it to become another job. Most recent games end up being jobs unto themselves i.e. GTA: San Andreas and Oblivion. These aren't games you just pick up and put down for fun. They're a series of repetitive button mashing exercises and micromanagement headaches for the player. Why bother shaping up some insensate cluster of polygons and pixels with button mashing games when one could be doing it for themself? Develop more games that don't require a thick user manual or fifty different in-game tutorials that anyone can just start playing cold.

On my internet there is problem,
And that problem is Borat.
He take Mahir's jokes,
He never give it back.
Throw Borat down the well,
So Mahir can be free.
You must grab him by his mustache,
Then we have big party.
If you see Borat coming,
You must be careful of his teeth.
You must grab him where it is funny,
And I tell you what to do...

The level on Mercury has always been a favorite of mine.
Fuck you, Seanbaby. You were old meme when there was only gopher.

Ever since I got online, I've been sending more mail (packages, post cards, etc) than I did before the internet.

Mars is orbiting us!??!?!!?
I submitted this article last night and it was soundly rejected.
Thing is that link http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/special/08747.pdf was in my original submission.

A five dollar phone at a dollar store? Kinda defeats the purpose of a dollar store.

This is a really interesting idea.
Too bad I'm not allowed to have mod points anymore after the whole slashdot troll post investigation.
You can't play NetHack on a PDA.
Why dontcha put the fucking power switch on the front of your consoles?
Sure as hell isn't Slashdot where people only talk about adopting and using Linux with their Windows boxes.

You're seeing them because you, genius, don't know how to adjust your reading threshold.

But I'm sober NOW
Why block the sun when people can raise the Earth's albedo? More white and reflective buildings, more concrete roads and sidewalks.
Oh no, I saw the plans myself and it's just a surplus submarine fitted with a Dean drive!
It works! Honest! Newton's Fourth Law or something!!!
Zonk's too busy spending his Slashvertisement windfall on camwhores and baked goods.
