Breasts in space pose momentum problems... but for the most part all the flopping 0's out. So as said space floozy is drifting weightlessly, her large breast will flop with the momentum of their last movenment while still attached to the body.
OO = (.)(.) * pi/floozial mass.....of course if you throw in spiked heels it throws the whole equation off and you get into quatum floozy.
The guy said he needed a subject that was relatively static. But shadows on a canyon wall are not static. He says it took him 13 minutes. I wonder if there was any noticeable movement in the shadows in that time?
I wonder if thats where the term relatively comes in?
Hmmm. You know, I never thought of it before, but as tin foil has been replaced in the market by aluminum foil, there does seem to be a lot more people wandering around under the influence of Alien Mind Control rays.
Who do you think is behind the switch from tin to aluminum?!
It's a conspiracy I tell you! Why won't you people listen to me!!!
they were a site offering a legitimate business that was ranked high because they had content relevant to searches...and here I was thinking that the article was about businesses using "tricks" to get higher page rank and Google's solution to that..
They used the system to get their businesses listed higher in Google and now they are complaining about Google using their own system to correct their own product...
This simply means that if business want their rankings back they need to go back to the drawing board... sure they aren't happy about it.. they are businesses after all, but then were users happy about having to sift through a bunch of business ads to get through to useful information?
Sometimes when I think of technology, and how it invades our lives (sometimes in dark ways) that phrase makes perfect sense.....and the phrase "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" comes to mind.
We have been lazy and we are losing our freedom because of it.. Technology like fire must be constantly monitored lest the servant become the master.
What do you mean by the "originality that Halo had exhibited in the past?"
Typo..should have been Bungie...and I guess the nebulous point of this whole thread/argument... is whether MS has sapped the creativity and "soul" of Bungie as a game developer... Which begs the question what made Bungie great..and is it still there?
I won't argue at all the Oni blew... and I'm willing to give Bungie the benefit of the doubt when it comes to creativity, however, I do have serious doubts about MS being "hands off" with Bungie... before they could probably finish a game to the level they intended.. now I fear it's get the game finished by the timetable of MS... even if MS doesn't interfere with what they are doing as far as the game creation is concerned.. which is IMHO why Halo wasn't as great as it could have been.. the repetition in parts was mind numbing..and clearly IMHO a result of MS pushing timetables and thus influencing (read lowering quality) the finished product.
By the way, have you played Halo on the Xbox, and if so, all the way through?
Is that question based in the fact that I didn't think Halo was all that great? Why would you think that I hadn't played it.. or all the way through...?
Coming from the perspective of a former mac gamer.. I can defintely see this being a slap in the face. Bungie was one of the cool and original game makers on the mac platform.. and had great progress on the mac version of Halo before they were bought out by MS.. now, years later, not only (as I humbly predicted) have they released Halo for the PC as Halo2 was in the works... mac users have gone from 2nd class to 3rd class citizens in the release of the game from a company that would in the past do simultaneous releases for both platoforms.....and IMHO Halo wasn't all that great.. while visually beautfiful...it lacked the originality that Halo had exhibited in the past.. and whether that was a result of the MS buyout or not remains to be seen.
Eventually portable media will become too small for practical use...
just like the cell phone at one point got too small, and has now "standardized" toa practical size.. A paper thin fingernail sized media card would be a little too small to practically use.. hard to pick up, too easy to lose, etc....
I'm sure there's going to be a point when people don't use something because of its size.. IMHO the memory stick duo is probably as small as such media will probably go.
Why don't you just put away $10 a month.. into a jar or under your matress or something.. After 2 years you have $240.. voila! New console.
Quite frankly having to spend $200 every two years is nothing for most people. Unless you are a kid without income in which case ($200 + games = equals annoyed parent).

There's been no intelligent analysis or debate here since the whole thing started.
Why that's a perfect opening line to, oh say... start some
Sir the floor is yours.. begin.

I'll tell you what's in space that's not on mars or the moon..
..and surprisinglh a 0G environment is very useful for many things... both in scientific and manufacturing fields..
A 0G environment...
..but all my business man charts saids that nerds like sex and science fiction!
Oh well... at least we already got paid.

Welcome to global capitalism...
India offers a service of the same quality for a lower price... you must either lower your price or offer something better...
Globalization has its downside you know...
Here you go... make a huge printout and place it on your sheets!

She's nerd cute bordering on normal cute...
I think that about sums it up.
Is it safe to use with my tinfoil/aluminum foil hat?
Is it alien approved?
Oh my that's two questions... SEE! I'm being controlled!

Which begs the question: Where lies the root of the problem?
After all one cannot truly solve a problem anywhere but at its root.

Even if this were the most innocent use of technology today...
chipping yourself is not only placing trust in the powers that be, but in all future powers that be, that this technology would not be abused...
no thank you.. not now not ever.

You've achieved a productive happy accepting citizen rating.. a shiny gold star will be mailed to you shortly..

in a nation with already overcrowded jails, they are going to start locking up people who have essentially commited the equivalent of j-walking...
So the U.S. will have to pick up the tab so that the MPAA can sleep with money filled pillows? I think not.
