Instead of learning Japanese, repeat to yourself several hundred times: "Things are not cool solely because they are Japanese. Associating myself with Japan does not make me cool."
Chances are you won't have to buy groceries from the store like a sucker for all too long. You'll order over the internet and the food will be delivered the next day. It's already taken off in Manhattan - the FreshDirect trucks are everywhere.
If this think becomes at all widely used it is probably going to be all over the various illicit distribution channels, and everyone will just practice writing the essay that it loves.
How many volts do you generally have to charge a capacitor with to produce a shock that will make people take notice? Assume the skin isn't wet and is of normal thickness (i.e. not the eyelids or the soles of the feet.)
If they changed the location they could buy Pac-Man two or three all day MetroCards (they can only be used once every ~18 minutes) and make all the ghosts stand still while he's on the subway...
I get the idea that some of these things open up several streams at different times in the song so that they download faster than the music plays, which could be detected.
Basically, Google toolbar can offer features based on what website you are currently viewing. It can display the approximate PageRank, for example.
To do this, it has to send the URL to the Google servers which send back the information. This makes a lot of sense if you think about it. If you want to look for something on eBay you have to tell the eBay servers what you want. If you want to look up something on Wikipedia the Wikipedia servers must know what you are looking for.
On top of that, Google puts up a big message plainly stating that if you want to use these features the toolbar will have to phone home, and giving you the option to not use them. It's not a shady EULA thing like Gator or whatever, it's quite plain.
You have to note that the prices don't really match up - The $30 super biznatch iced out platinum plastik translates to $20 real money. Still, it's hilarious.
It seems to me they're a bunch of slashdot-style geeks blatantly milking a huge group of retards - the hint is the "Dominatrix Sub Whip +2" - I don't expect the idiots who actually use that site to have any idea what a +2 is.
I also doubt that anyone who really wrote the way they do would be able to set up a complicated website.

Note to AC: Capacitors can hold a charge after they've been disconnected from the battery.

It's pretty inaccurate. I think a literal English translation would be: All your of base are being held to us.

You are funny. "Our bodies have learned to adapt to that, not to nuclear radiation."

Tell me when I can order pizza from Stromboli on 1st Ave. through the command line.

Thinking about going to NYU? Thinking about hiring someone from there?
Just remember, these guys are getting college credit for this.
(I'm only jesting, I know people who go to NYU...)

They just couldn't afford the $5 pints.

Woo! Extra meetings! Networking! Wearing a suit and tie, accomplishing fuck-all!
A bag of dicks on you all...

If you have $650, why not buy some good beer?

Most professionals can count their number of anonymous coward posts on one hand, troll.

The thing is, silica gel dessicant apparently isn't even poisonous....

Just keep shooting food to them.

Do you have any idea what the hell possessed people to pay thirty pounds for an LED? Just curious...

I think my friend has that case.
And I have a sonata...

This might be good news. Someone tell me if there are any X Box games worth playing besides Halo.

If establishing itself as a form of art means everything is going to look like shiny Apple crap, I hope it never does.
