I know this. I am not really "fat" (13.1% body fat), I am just big. Not an excuse, I have been jogging and taking extra steps and eating better, I would like to be a nice round 100k.
I love the metric system, as do most geeks I know, it's just so damned logical and organised. I am 1.8796 meters tall, and I weigh 111.13 kilos, before someone asks. I don't know why we are the only country that does not use the metric system, just to be different?
When we are discussing this, remember that the same discussions were held nearly 500 years ago. Replace the word "space" with "the new world" or "the wild west". There is probably an added element of danger with it being space and all. It probably evens out with the pioneer days, animals, weather, etc.
I would still suit up and hop in if asked. Granted, I have zero experience flying (although I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night!), but I would still do it. The view alone would be enough to make me happy before I die. These guys knew what they were doing, and that minor things do go wrong. Minor things can be catastrophic things at 3.2G, though. We are all glad that the pilot was unhurt.
You could make the argument that every car company is doomed because it has such a "small" market share. It is very hard to saturate the automobile market, because different people want different things from their cars. Some people like the BMW, some work on a farm and need a big old truck, some are hippies and want hybrids, some want the kitschy Mini or PT Cruiser, etc. I could go hunt down the US market numbers for particular car companies, but I am too lazy. However, I doubt very seriously that any one company has a huge lead over another. If you want to criticise a company, criticise VW, their cars are a freaking pain to work on, you need special (expensive!) tools to work on them.
My very lo-tech solution is to get a cable from radio shack, plug it in to the aux input of the ipod, either set up a playlist, put it on random, or , if you are like me and memorise the controls and placement of menus, control it from the iPod itself.
Serial modem. I got mine from Creative a few years back when I was on dial-up. It is totally worth it. You will end up hunting forever for an internal modem that will work. It is pretty much guaranteed to work with any OS.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Capitol is the building, Capital is the city it is in. Capital is also money, you got that right. And your definition of Capitalism, can't argue with that.
First of all, I have no interest in the CD. Second, I am not a jackass. Third, do you know for a fact that you can rip it with iTunes to your library? On Windows and Mac? If so, I will concede that point to you.
Let me check...yep, the Velvet Revolver CD Contraband is available on the iTunes music store. The greedy bastards just want you to buy the same music twice. Once on CD, once digitally. Doesn't that fly right in the face of fair use?
If they use it underwater, they kill themselves and lose it, but think of all the frags you can rack up if there are a lot of people in the water with you.
If your choice is his cerebellum, potentially he could just lose balance and motor skills. The cerebrum would be a much better choice, as close to the brain stem as possible.
24 hours? That is nothing. When my ISP implemented their SPAM tagging/deletion scheme and virus scanning functions I would routinely get my mail up to 8 days later. It did not bother me, if I relied on my home address for business, it would probably cheese me off, but that is why I have back-up addresses.
I read the article, they explain why they think their way is better, and try to tell people how to lay out their directories. Umm, thanks but no thanks. I don't have to listen to someone else tell me what they think is best for me, they should have at least made it easy to tweak the functionality. It is very arrogant to try to dictate how users should lay out their files. As a matter of fact it is borderline asinine and antagonistic. "If you don't like our new browsing structure, then you are stupid" is the gist I get.
There is little if no difference between diabolds ceo and the governer of a state saying or endorsiong a certain canidate and proclaiming to help them win that district or state in the upcoming elections. (somethign that has been going on for years before bush was even thought of)
That is just asinine. An opinion would be "gee, I hope Bush wins." This went about ten steps further to the "we will deliver the state for you." I wasn't bashing Bush, I do not know where you managed to infer that from. If anything, I was bashing Diebold. I could articulate in great detail why I dislike the current administration, but it has been done to death, far better than I could ever hope to communicate here. I rather prefer to not pettily bash our current President. But to be fair, using your logic, I have the right to express my opinions, I just choose to take the high road.
I am not sure if this is a troll, but I will respond anyway. If you are the CEO of a company that provides election services, you should not be biased one way or the other. You should not promise to deliver a state to a particular party if you provide the election services, period. That takes away respectability from the whole project and makes people think "why should I bother voting, these corrupt bastards are just going to rig the election so that their buddies win". I suppose the whole concept of conflicts of interest has gone out the window. Case in point Cheney and Scalia's duck hunting trip.

Free speech did not entail installing crap without telling anyone. It is not the government's responsibility to protect your business model.

As long as someone uses it, I honestly don't mind. I read about Yahoo and Hotmail sticking the invites in Spam folders. LAME.

Do you have a point? I would much rather deal with douchebags then have to show my papers to post.

You are next. E-mail address?
You just get them. A link shows up on your mainpage that says "INVITE A FRIEND TO JOIN!", or something similar.
Given away. The queue is full. Here is who are in my queue for invites: dhuff
amaiman
david614
ashtamurthy
SA H
I have one invite. First one to respond to this post gets it. I can queue up the others for when I get more, if they are willing to wait.

I thought the article was talking about the ! and ? that appear above character's heads in RPGs and Anime/Manga.

I use one of those all the time "no one goes there anymore, it's too crowded".
