The GF3Ti500 did kick ass when it came out. Lots of people didn't do their homework and bought GF4MX cards that were much suckier. But to do that well? Perhaps the games were written with some GF3 specifics in mind?
You forgot the clincher: two years later, college students would recount the marbles, and find out that the Redskins had, in fact, won.
You could also probably mention how certain people with names similar to, but not exactly the same as certain ineligible players were not allowed in the game.
Shoulda also read the article. Or maybe you did, and are trolling with 'Bush didn't win'. Yeah, I know, you know, we all know he didn't win. But since he's not getting BJ's in the oval office, there's no impeachment for later incompetence.
Pardon my ignorance, but who is '"Scooter" Libby'?
And, FWIW, when someone refuses to be legally served court papers, they can go fuck themselves. The CPD forced the situation, and all this crap about 'trespassing' by Badnarik et al. is just a dodge to avoid the real issue.
BTW, my parents had a good point: if a candidate is good enough to receive federal matching funds, he's good enough to be in the debate. (You could make a similar argument based on 'if he's good enough to be on the ballots in 45+ states...')
Technically, you are right. But the spirit of your comment is wrong, wrong, wrong.
Both in the UK and on the continent, there are contract brewers making American swill for consumption by Europeans. There has been a 20 year trend of the closing of small breweries (particularly in Germany) and market trends show that the youth are drinking American swill if they drink beer at all.
Sales numbers don't lie. And it's fairly well publicized information in industry press. That doesn't mean that American mass market beer is better. Far from it. What it means is that European youth are getting almost as stupid as the American consumer.
Mod parent down. Parent is obviously not very good, as the poster doesn't even know the gender of his/her/its child. Notice the frequent use of multiple pronouns so as to avoid specifying gender of child. I suspect the poster isn't even married, unless in one of those unGodly homosexual unions. Alert Homeland Security at once.
destroying a country is slightly more serious than someone getting a blow job.
I don't know. Getting a blow job (that didn't involve providing the giver with a rock of crack) would be a pretty serious change in the life of most slashdotters. Rob Malda for example.
Remembering, of course, that the term 'open source' is open to interpretation. Yes, the original post on the mailing list was most likely "is it OSI brand 'open source' compatible?" but the weblog doesn't make that fine a distinction.
Further, if software should be open, shouldn't rational people be able to take exception with accepting OSI's definition as the definition?
1000 per week? That's nothing. If you try to do it in one setting, SA might choke, but I see several times that amount (the problem with having had an address unchanged for a LONG time) and it is handled by a celeron 400.
The usual formats? Unless I'm a total rube (quite possible), it doesn't support AAC files, which are the ones shipped from the largest online music store. Can't remember the name of the top of my head. iSomethingorother, I think.
For example, many of the stories I find portray the ideal father as a fireman, carpenter or truck driver
Those jobs can't (yet) be outsourced. Your fluffy computer job can. A healthy respect for those lowly blue/grey collar jobs is a good thing. With any luck, my son will be a plumber when he grows up. Lord knows one thing we'll never have down pat is how to pump shit out of our houses.
Reread your definition. It is commonly taken to be a recession. Also, I notice that you link to 'classic terms'. For whatever reason, BLS and other entities use more complex metrics to determine whether or not there is or has been a recession.
This, of course, will mean that Colorado will immediately become the least-interesting state of the Union to Presidential candidates
You are incorrect in this statement, but only by manner of being incomplete. It will be the least interesting state to the Democratic and Republican party candidates. To the third parties, this suddenly becomes the MOST interesting state. It's the only realistic way to get electoral votes.
But, if you keep this up long enough, and you aren't adding new higher-end production to our economy, eventually you turn around and see that there aren't very many decent paying jobs left here.
This is where I keep coming back to. My BS (haha) is in Economics. I generally look upon what I learned as THE TRUTH. But it falls apart at some point. When comparative (and relative) advantage were developed, the sky was the limit. (perhaps literally, as powered flight hadn't yet been developed). There were so many resources, so many things to be done...
And then I remember something my world history teacher in high school said: "How do we know we aren't in the Dark Ages right now? Do you think the people in Europe generally referred to it as the 'Dark Ages'? Only in retrospect can you usually know how bad things are." So despite the transistor, powered flight, telephones, and electricity, perhaps we are hitting at least a short term wall.
These are just some things I think of when various topics arise on/. or IRL. Glad to see that at least in one respect (your comment that I quoted) I'm not alone.
There might be, but it depends on what the point of a company is. Is it to make and sell widgets, or is it to sell 'happiness'? I'm having trouble thinking of a non-contrived example, but as long as companies are expected to improve the bottom line this quarter, we're going to see outsourcing.
I would also remind you that vertical monopolies are much more common in Japan. In the US, you might have to move your tech support to India. In Japan, find someone else in your keiretsu (or is it keibatsu?) who specializes in tech support to do it for your company/division.
Hey, genius, the reason your TiVo doesn't mention this is because the guide is not constantly updated. Further, who knows when the last time your guide was updated.
I bet you complain when professional sporting events aren't magically taken care of by your TiVo.

Take heart: the Redskins also suck ass this year.

If they decide to XBox it to the extreme like Deus Ex: Invisible War, count me out. Please let it be quality.
I actually do know. I fucking despised my marketing classes. Too much devious shit.
that beer is not exported to Europe

Fortunately, Ben Bradlee had a bit more common sense than you.
Or was Watergate just an attempt by the Washington liberal media to tear down Nixon?

Slashdot posted a story about it once.
That's weird. Just for kicks, I entered slashdot and only got an error message. I wonder what's up with that?
For example, many of the stories I find portray the ideal father as a fireman, carpenter or truck driver

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter...
Seriously, drop me an email, I'd like to know a bit more about this.
Oh, I see. Makes sense. OTOH, if a state like CA would do it, you would need, what, 3% of the vote? Easily doable.
This, of course, will mean that Colorado will immediately become the least-interesting state of the Union to Presidential candidates

You forgot to work in the heat death of the universe and RMS shaving/bathing.

Perhaps - there's some truth in that idea.
There might be, but it depends on what the point of a company is. Is it to make and sell widgets, or is it to sell 'happiness'? I'm having trouble thinking of a non-contrived example, but as long as companies are expected to improve the bottom line this quarter, we're going to see outsourcing.

Buy my copy of Clerks on laserdisc. And my laserdisc player. You'll get the scene.
