I believe Doctors and EMT technicians and pretty much anyone else who might need to be contacted in an emergency carries a beeper since cell phones are crap when it comes to reliable reception anyway. So yeah, carry a jammer... I would but the money one would cost is greater than me putting up with the annoyance.
Oh, and yes... we do close down highways just because someone drives like an ass and crashes into someone/something else.
Yes, well I as a filmmaker realize the difference between games and movies, and I'm pretty sure making a tomb raider knock off in space will be SIGNIFICANTLY less entertaining than what I have stated, since I've seen the hollywood version enough times already.
And BTW, didn't Winged Migration win a lot of awards? Someone must have liked it.
hide the main character in a suit so people who never played the game don't realize she's a she until the very end when she takes off her helmet.
Now that would be a very interesting idea. I think it would be really awesome if the whole movie has pretty much no dialogue and starts out with Samus coming onto a planet in full gear, have the character and environment development through this suited character exploring the environment, like the game goes. No dialogue and a world devoid of humanoid life. Instead, we're gonna start out with an extreme closeup of Angolina Jolie being woken up to some intercom call calling her for some rescue operation on some planet and when she gets there, there's gonna be around 3 or 4 guys alive, including a hot dude who falls in love with her. In other words, it will be exactly like every other shitty space/rescue movie.
Other recent studies have shown that while doctors who play games are 37% less likely to make mistakes and 27% faster, there is also a 67% increased chance that they will kill someone on the operating table "just to watch them die."
thats why they should incorporate teleporters to teleport you to different locations on the drive, as well as different weapons so if you wanna destroy all the files in a room, just launch a rocket or something...
No one really cares. If TiVo dies because of competition, how does that matter to anyone except the employees and heads of TiVo? OBviously, the rest of the world will have moved on to Bigger and Better Things. Every company dies eventually and TiVo will be no exception.
I've been told by HR that I cannot tell ONE employee to "leave the cell phone in your car" I must make the rule for EVERY employee in the department
That's pretty interesting. Are you allowed to make an office meeting where you say something along the lines of "Since Jane is on the phone so long on company time, and I can't single her out specifically and tell her to not bring her phone in, I'm gonna make all of you stop using your mobile phones." At which point everyone in the company hates Jane and she stops bringing her phone to work?
Perhaps it's just easier to catalogue book buying than it is to catalogue book reading? I think book buying and book reading are correlated and if one goes up, the other is going up... unless it's just the people that were originally reading that are buying more books. But that can be determined at the point of sale, as well.
You're talking about the Tomb Raider series. Grand Theft Auto is a hot property right now since the last game Vice City was the best damn game in the past few years, and Rockstar now has the reputation of putting out quality titles. When they start putting out crappy games just to get a quick buck off moms who pick up GTA because of the brand name recognition for their kids, then you can say they're beating the product into the ground. Until then, many people care and would be disappointed if San Andreas didn't come out.
And another thing... if a product is "viable" as you said, what else should you do with it besides come out with more properties based on it?
New female overlords? Females have been our overlords for centuries if not millenia! Now they're just trying to "relate" to the lower classes by stealing our hobbies... I say we don't let em! Rebel against our ancient female overlords!
I'm sure we'll have lots of posts about "animal cruelty".
Nope... yours is the only post about animal cruelty... no one here is opposed to sending those filthy disease ridden things into space. And to answer your question about which life is worth more, I'll have to pose another question: "Which is the life that actually wants to go up there and who has the ability to choose?" In other words, if a volunteer wants to risk his body turning to jello for some scientific advances then so be it... a mouse never had that option. I'm not saying this is animal cruelty, but I don't agree with your argument either.
You're just a slacker. If I love my work, then that is my "real" life.
Life is the thing that happens between the time you're conceived to the time your heart and brain stops functioning. That life consists of some amount of working. It's a much better time spent if you actually like that part of your life.
People who talk about real lives generally tend to be crappy at what they do.

Consider that men have been going to bars, drinking too much and going home with ugly women for thousands of years.
Now that is patently false. I drink too much and go home with hot women... I just wake up with ugly ones.
at least it wasnt created using open office
Hell, the ability to export as pdf files is practically the biggest reason I solely use OO now instead of MS Office.

How long have you been hanging on to those images waiting for the perfect Bit Torrent submission?
I've heard book sales are up, but not reading

Of course it's a hit... It's being introduced in a city where EVERYONE's an unemployed ACTOR.
is anyone else holding tight to their "virgin" and unaltered original vhs tapes of Starwars 4-6?
You mean "virgin" unaltered original vhs tapes of Star Wars 1-3?
Why put off for tomorrow what can be done today?

Just like my gf, The buttons don't work
Have you made sure the power cord is plugged in?
2 years later, Aliens invade because we "attacked" their home planet with an asteroid.
Nah, I'm sure they have their own MADMEN system... Here is what the ensuing conflict will look like.

yeah, but Apple has a step 2... and that step 2 is "Advertise it to hell." That step 2 is guaranteed to work no matter what your step 1 is.

yeah... but you can't have sex with your co-workers... sicko.
Well, he says he's an accountant but he never really works and he's always drinking beer at the bar.
As a matter of fact, they took him to the courthouse to legally change his name to Joe Rowe to avoid any possible future trademark infringements.
