I mean, why would you want to reheat coffee? I've always thought it tastes like ass when it's reheated. Are we going to go through a sun coffee rage like the in the 80's? Or is this for people that take more than 30 minutes to drink a cup of coffee...
If at all possible, and if there are no side-effects, would you take a drug that could make you smarter? I'm not saying that these examples could, but if there were something that passed clinic trails and was safe - viagra for your brain.
Would you take it?
Would you want to know if someone else is taking it?
I mean, to blow the top of the mountain off due to the built up pressure. Maybe this whole build-up, store energy, explode scenario is how this volcano works.
If the public were better informed about technology and the reason why they keep getting popups and viruses and malware and spyware, and the reason why their Internet doesn't work anymore and why it takes their computer take 10 minutes to boot up when it only used to take 3, and they guess they just need to go down to BestBuy and buy another one.
If people knew their machines were becoming pieces of crap over time because of flaws and vulnerabilities in their operating system and Internet browser, don't you think they would buy and use an alternative?
I played SWG for about 4 months in beta, and about 6 months after release. My questions is, how did they get this so wrong? I mean, combat and loot are two MAJOR gameplay components.
This is a design flaw that was either overlooked or ignored because of the rush to release a product that wasn't ready for release. Either way, this is a project management issue, and should not be tolerated. Why should players wait 1.5 years after release for fundamental game systems to be fixed - especially while paying a monthly fee?
I mean, at some level, don't you as a thinking human, start stressing out about something? Aren't we all at a basic level stressed that we don't have enough to eat, that we won't have a place to live and that we won't pass along our genes to future generations?
Or are they referring to "Modern Stress" - something that only afflicts the "Modern World"?
I don't think turning over full control of our vehicles at all times is a realistic goal. However, i can imagine a time where traffic is backed up due to an accident or lane closure, and the car takes over to avoid the issues usually associated with merging traffic and rubber-necking. I think this is where this type of technology will really shine. People will be more likely to hand over control in these low-speed situation, especially if it rewards them, i.e. gets them through the mess sooner.
As you get older and as PA's popularity increases to more of a mainstream level (thanks to the great job you did on last year's Childplay), are you starting to feel the pressures of self-censorship? I mean, how many news anchors could reference the good work you do with Childsplay without giving a "Within that site, there be fruitfuckers" warning?
Are you becoming too popular to maintain your riske side?
I don't know if it's applicable for your situation, but you have heard of the Pringle can antenna, haven't you? It's supposed to work really well, and it's been a while, so i'm sure there have been improvements made by others too.

I mean really, how many times can your re-wrap the string, yank it and hold it in your palm (i'm talking 'bout the gyroscope you perv)?
I'd rather have something that makes use of the stupid gyroscope. Where are all of the fun toys that use the gyroscope? Where's the home segway kit? Why doesn't someone make more toys that USE these classic toys instead of leaving someone uninspired and wanting more?
I heard this story on NPR - it was just on All Things Considered tonight, so npr.org doesn't have the link up yet. At the end, they commented that the Libertarian and Green party is currently raising the ~$130,000 needed for the recount.
Where can i donate?
Kerry got ~45,000 vites on our Slashdot poll. If i can PayPal $5 or do a $5 credit card donation, how many other people would?
That is still my favorite cartoon from when i was a kid. That and G.I.Joe (a real american hero, you know - and knowing is half the battle).
I was pretty impressed with the new Spiderman CG series that appeared on MTv after the first movie. Besides being voiced by some bad choices - Ian Ziering from Beverly Hills 90210 voiced Harry, and Jewel was MJ, and Peter Parker was voiced by Doogie Howser MD it was a good series that served as a good arc between movies.
However, they did have some fresh villians - one of the things that the first Spiderman series (with Iceman and Firestorm), and the animation was really cool - especially all of the self casting shadows.
If this new cartoon (let's face it, they're still cartoons) is as good as that.
I also think you can get the new series on DVD now.

"Sony also announced yesterday that it had reached an agreement with Comcast to offer Sony and MGM movies over Comcast's video-on-demand systems and on new cable channels that it would form with the Sony group."
I don't know about you, but i hardly ever go to the movie store anymore (unless i want to own a DVD). I rent most of my titles from Time Warner's video-on-demand. This agreement opens up that whole distribution channel (no pun intended) for all of those classic MGM titles.
the fact that it was one man's vision, and started in his garage using off-the-shelf software and a whole lot of time before any studios ever got involved.
Wired had an article about it a while ago, and i've been excited to see it ever since.
How about they do a better job of maintaining vigilance on keeping things like malware, and crapware from being installed by using their integrated browser.
On the list of things to tout, that should rate higher than the ability to keep someone's keychain or iPod from being plugged in.

Yeah, um, it's a joke. They're not funny if you have to explain them.
I don't know about you, but the last thing i want to see after being buried under rubble from a collapsed building is a freakin' rat.
They better dress these disease caddies in orange jumpsuits and affix a shot of something to a barrel under their necks.
