Upon reading the headline, I couldn't help but remember the Onion's 1970's headline (from their Our Dumb Century collection)- Japanese Amuse GM Engineers With Attempt To Build Car
I'm taking a class now with a guy who was one of the chief architects of the 737 (he's getting his bachelor's now, out of all things). He also used to work in the military. He said that even back in the 70's, the military possessed unclassified technology which could read cigarette brands off of a terrorist camp surveillance satellite vidcap. Imagine what the classified stuff could do now!

I misread the headline and thought Kevin Smith/Silent Bob is going the Bill Nye the Science Guy route...
I heard somewhere that if billg were to see a thousand-dollar bill on the ground, it would cost him more to stop what he's doing, bend down and grab the thousand-dollar bill than to just keep on doing whatever he was doing before.
Actually, I believe the Nazis were the first to use sound as a torture device. They used to lock Jews up into chambers, yes - but what most people don't know is that they had chambers which did not dispense gas, but instead high volume low frequency tones which were strong enough to physically cause harm. (Sorry, I don't have a link to the source of this stuff anymore)
This one's easy - they're pocketing cash from the tobacco companies here in the States. Why can Philip Morris keep paying out billions to states and families here? Because they can be assured of a market of 8-year-olds enjoying their most luscious products in Third World countries. At last count, some report said that a large percentage (I don't remember how much) of children 6 and above in China are regular smokers. No surprise given all the unrestricted advertising in the country by Big Tobacco.

Thank goodness Google is here, even if it's not 100% perfect.
At the UW, the honors program requires you to take any 3 year-long sequences to graduate (along with whatever major you're doing). These include:
Western Civilization
World Civilization
Physics
Math
I choose the first three. Out of world civ, for example, I got to write a 50-page paper on pyramids, study west African feminist literature, and take a really interesting course from a femini-Nazi women's study professor.
Now, while I'm coding OS thread tasks, I can also appreciate a bit of Herodotus (or whatever else tickles your fancy) while taking my breaks. So if you're interested in a well-rounded education, check out your school's honors program.
The biggest key to success of this mechanism in Hong Kong is the culture. Hong Kong people, specifically consumers, do not like to put up with troublesome schemes such as using different cards or tickets for different public transportation systems. Offer them a card that does everything, and it will surely be instantly popular. Hong Kong people hate "faan" (trouble)

Is there an anime con happening somewhere? Where's all the "In Soviet Russia" responses? This is prime breeding ground!
8 bits...that's some pretty mighty impressive compression! Damn all who complain about petty things like grainy pixels!
Oh yeah? Try opening up a strip club called Microsoft Gentlemen's Club, and see how far that gets you...
Not hard to imagine...

Well, in Japan corporate culture, it is a bad thing to be put in a window seat in a company... Rimshot.

Lift the hood open on recent Geo Prizm's, and you'll find a Toyota Corolla engine within.
Jaguars...nothing but $100,000 Ford Taurus nowadays anyways...Oh, THAT Jaguar.
But after a $10 Office Depot rebate + $15 instant rebate + $19.99 manufacturer's rebate, you'll end up paying even less!
I propose a CD with stuff like Photoshop, Premiere, Visual Studio...oh, you said free...sorry...
Since I'm not familiar with radio, I have no idea of the implications of this bit of news:
FCC Moves to Privatize Airwaves (from the Sonoma State U Project Censored Top 25 Most Under-Covered News Stories)
Yeah, if it's so smart, why doesn't it assemble itself together?
has already existed throughout Russian history, and it sure kills any living, carbon-based entity - it's called Vodka.
Oh, it's standalone...so 15-20MB of the trailer is the embedded QuickTime binaries? Oh wait...

I'm surprised no one's mentioned SEXTRIS!!!!
