I know I'm just repeating what's already been said a million times over, but why the hell did google buy youtube in the first place if they were just going to turn around and do this?
Ya got me. But I never understand this stuff. Years ago, before there were any, I was approached to develop a live online poker site. I declined, saying it will never work because you can't stop people from cheating. And you can't, but it turned out not to matter. Then a few years ago I was approached to develop an site similar to youtube, and I said it would never work because people will always post copyrighted material and you'll get sued into oblivion.
Stock spams in particular always come through after faithfully waiting out the greylist timeout.
That penny stock spam is the most successful I've seen. More than half of it gets past gmail's filters and into my in box, and then more than half of that gets past my own filters. It's just about the only spam that makes it through, but I get several of those a week. (I also checked the stocks, and not a single one has risen significantly, despite the spam's assurances;-)
Given the backstory written by the game's creators' previous game (Marathon, Marathon II, Marathon Infinity) - there's a pathway, at least, for a Halo movie to be very highbrow
I thought you were sneaking in a Pathways reference, but then you didn't pursue it. What it really accidental?
En passant deals with two different peices at two different points in time. I had just about given up on finding any usable solution at all, until I finally struck upon the MtG game mechanic where one card temporarily adds text to another card.
I see it now. Very clever. Part of what threw me is that part of it renders as grayed out text with a vertical bar, and I guess my brain gave less importance to.
I figured it must, but honestly, having never seen a MtG card, and not knowing the terminology, I got lost in the details. And having held in my younger days a master's rating, it was rather annoying to not be sure:-)
I'll bet no Wal-Mart guy ever got applause from the council when he was done. And notice that he didn't send somebody else - he went himself. He will get more than any wal-mart guy could ever get.
And I'm willing to speculate that you've never actually seen a Wal-Mart guy address a city council, but rather you're just throwing out the "fact" that you've either heard or inferred.
Since you can get Sirius radios for as low as $60 it'd make more sense to buy a radio and monthly subscription to get both radio & internet access instead of $13/month for just internet access.
Not everybody in the world can receive the signal. (Though I do think the price is too high.)
OK, I give up. What in the world is an underage wine baby? Does it have anything to do with a recently bottled Boone's Farm or Thunderbird, resulting in an unexpected pregnancy?
It always amazes me how smoothly Jobs manages to deliver presentations, even when he's put on the spot.
He's a brilliant negotiator and manipulator. Take a look at this video of him addressing the Cupertino city council. Here's this big shot CEO taking his personal time and making the effort to come down to the meeting simply to give them some good news.
He doesn't ask for anything. Nothing. But from this small gesture he's now completely won over the city council. And you know that later on when Apple has some special requirements for the new campus that this little trip will pay huge dividends.
I submitted this same story two days ago and it was rejected. What has changed in the intervening two days to make the story publishable?
I of course didn't see your submission, but you probably failed to employ the powerful one-two punch of first verbifing the noun "trial," and then cleverly following that up with the use a double-l when doing so. Slashdot has standards, you know.
Note to self: Is it foolish to complain about the spelling of made-up words?
I apologize if this is an ignorant suggestion, but have you tried something like neosporin? For me it works very well on razor nicks. I imagine that it's mostly just plugging it up, though, so maybe that wouldn't help you.
I spend hours upon hours of time on the computer, more time gaming, and do most of my homework in the span of 10 minutes right before I go to bed... and yet somehow my marks are still fantastic.
And if the purpose of school were to get high marks you'd be all set!

It was using 237MB of memory, but when I closed my other tabs it dropped down to 193MB. Obviously if I closed it and relaunched it on this page it would only be using a fraction of that ram.
Just because it hasn't released it to the system doesn't mean it won't reuse it internally.
That's pretty funny, I must admit. But one advantage of the Apple deal is that they actually replace your whole ipod. In my case, that would almost certainly be an ipod in better shape than I'm sending. It's not damaged, but it's old and just kinda worn out.
-Atheist: someone who's too lazy to get up at 8:00 on the weekend.
By eight o'clock I'm usually at about the 11th tee. Although I have to admit, God has probably been mentioned several times by then, one way or another;-)
Go ahead. I'll just hand my phone records over. I have nothing to hide.
Having nothing to hide is not an answer. Everybody is entitled to privacy. Are you suggesting that everybody's phone logs should be publicly accessible? Everybody, even you, has things they'd rather keep to themselves.
Suppose your young daughter gets pregnant. Do you want just anybody seeing calls to the doctor? What about calls to say, a psychiatrist? Is that OK? What if you're looking to change jobs? Is it OK if your employer sees you've made calls to other firms or recruiters? The list is a mile long.

How's that for business acumen? ;-)

I like the "laptop not included" disclaimer on the illustration.
I'm a USian, and i knew what he meant, but nobody says that. If anything, I suppose it could be called the wankee.
Does that handle en passant?

Sticking a note on the bottom of the bishop that says "moves on open diagonals" wouldn't help my chess game much.

well let's go rummage around in your life, pretend to be you, and see who you've been calling.
