Dude Mystic Marathon is one thing, but Defender: Stargate is a pretty gnarly game...... Steve turned it over twice, every kid in the neighborhood came by to watch.
Steve didn't have a girl either, but that was because he was 15 and smoked pot and marlboros, played defender too much, and rode a bmx bike. He also lived next door to 7-11 and knew how to string the games....
I remember the guy that rolled over Defender : Stargate...... That used to be the supreme badge of honor, turning a coin-op over. Steve was a total legend at the local 7-11 for being able to turn games over. I think it had something to do with his talent for "stringing" machines (tape fishing line to a quarter and collect credits while someone distracted the clerk)...
The Wii has been effectively sold out for over 12 months straight now. I don't understand this. The guy next to me at work was all, "I want a wii, they don't have it on target.com, its sold out blah blah blah". I called ghetto ass gamestop and they had a pile of them for the regular old price. Of course, the next day he "decided not to get it just yet". Anyway, Where is the shortage? The day before xmas? News flash, they are also out of the good barbies, transformers, and anything else interesting until they restock....
Everyone that I know that wanted a Wii went to the store and bought one already.
The most important detail that shold be pointed out is that our mouth is a very sensitive tactile organ, for small children even moreso than adults. Our mouth is used to feel the things that we put into our mouth (so we don't chew on the bad ones, probably), and like using our hands, some things just feel good to put into your mouth. I can distinctly remember being taught to not put small things in my mouth / ear / etc. And I can also distinctly remember putting 5 or 6 marbles in my mouth to see what it would feel like. (It felt good! cool and glassy and smooth and round, and they clacked together when I swished) I didn't want to swallow or chew them, but I was definitely interested in what a marble felt like in my mouth. It was not a smart thing to do. I didn't care one bit.
Which reminds me, a good application for this new phone would be a pop up laser that kills iphones dead to death. You may be thinking , "why not just kill the owner and stomp on the iPhone?", well, we want to see the owner break down in tears of course !
(this is all because I can't afford one, and am stuck with a stupid Sidekick, actually)
I remember for while when digg became popular, people would often complain that they had seen it on digg yesterday. I decided to give digg a try, but found that so much crap got through as well that I was wading around trying to find the "good stuff". Also, the comments are about on par with a pre teen message board, and headlines frequently look like a 9 year old wrote them.
This kept me on slashdot, where the worst that I have to endure is old jokes (that still make me laugh when executed correctly). Most trolls get modded down pretty quickly, and I have actually end up learning something most of the time.
I still check digg every now and then, and the new fad is for a single (AWESOME!) picture to get dugg up.
I had an interesting IT experience about a year back, and said to myself, "self, I bet you could make the front page of digg with this".
So, as an experiment, I created a blogger blog and submitted it to digg. Lo and behold a few short hours later this non news story, personal blog had hit the front page of digg. I enabled adsense and made about $20.00 from the thing. Its just not a news site anymore, and easily gamed.
I was thinking more along the lines of "plastic stuff that doesn't break right away". unlike all of the other plastic crap in my kids life that lasts a month a best.
The danger is not with adults that can take care of themselves, but children that aren't 100% concious of the fatal or near fatal condition every minute of every day.
You insensitive clod ! Ok. Lets say you have a kid. this kid is so allergic to peanuts that they could die, not from eating, but simply by being around someone that is eating peanuts or a product prepared with peanuts. You want to send this kid to school. Do you:
1. Trust the (peanuts are ok!) public school to administer the life saving shot should your kid be exposed? (someone at the school must have gone through certified training for this, btw.)
I don't know about you, but I went to a public school myself and...
2. Seek out a private school that is sensitive to your child's allergies and already has a no nuts/seeds policy in place as well as an actual nurse on full time staff (many do).
My kids and I love peanut butter... But we have become aware that there are many people with this life threatening allergy, some personal friends or schoolmates. Luckily many private schools have adopted the no nuts / seeds policy. It is not too much to ask, that you eat your beloved peanut butter in the sanctity of your own home, for the safetly of these unfortunate kids that don't have the skills yet to avoid every speck of peanut dust.
Yes they do have some nutritional value but 2/3 of the calories are pure FAT . ! I know this is offtopic, but really now.....If you are going to mod this guy insightful...... look at it from another perspective than some guy that doesn't know the whole picture other than "how dare they restrict my PB&J"
*clap* i'm really happy for you. If you haven't watched tv in years, how do you know all tv programming is shit nowadays? (as opposed to 10 years ago when it was all great, or what?)
bittorrent, of course! the good part is those nice pirates cut the commercials out for you.
what if I took a stereo mini to mini and plugged the output from my computer to the audio input, then used an audio recording software (audacity, its free) to record it. Simple analog hack defeats complicated DRM encryption thingy.

Homer: Beer...The cause of, and solution to all of life's problems.
I played with one too, at a nerd xmas party, and if I was a Kid, I would be jazzed to have it.

They screwed up, giving the bit three states: 1, 0, and "waiting for question".
;)
No, it was actually a qubit.
Tron was so ahead of its time.
I'm particularly amused that they purchased 12... and THEN sued for $1m per sold battery.
yeah, they should have ordered a few dozen though.....
so, how can i just block all of russia and china ?
don't really see anything that I need there....
Where you at ?

Redesigned mail, notes, and calendaring systems?
speaking of notes, I noticed he has Lotus Notes on his dock in the screenshots. My Lotus guys are telling me that it does NOT run on 10.5
I don't get it, can you Show Me?
they'd just make sure that anything sold at their concerts had their logo on it.
Even the Blotters ?!?

kid dies from kissing someone that had peanut butter sandwich hours earlier
also google "fatal peanut allergy"

There is no number one. You are number 6.
As soon as I saw a spam Item, I just skipped forward to this good old reliable post.
Funny because its true !
I really love this one...
That means one of the admins found out his online girlfriend was a 50 year old guy from Brooklyn.
