Yeah, I would really like to see them do an episode where somehow they go back and "fix" this. That episode was the saddest cartoon I have ever seen. I generally dislike revisionism, but maybe Fry can go back in time and pick him up or something.
You are not supposed to cry while watching Adult Swim.
In Russia most people overestimate the percentage of people with higher education as well. (Don't have the reference handy, but you probably can't read in Russian anyway - but it's on fom.ru). Also, about 60% of Russians said they want their kids to become scientists - even while the average salary in science is around povery line and everyone knows it.
No offense, but this is the worst In Soviet Russia joke ever.
Since everyone else is getting in on the suggestions...
27. Definitely take courses well outside of your major. I took numerous feminism and African American studies courses...it will open your mind, and that's why you are there. (Plus I got to learn from Julian Bond, an experience I will always appreciate)
28. Keep Diet Coke around. It doesn't matter if your female visitor is slightly thick or borderline anorexic, she will want a diet soda, and will be impressed that you can provide that.
29. Avoid binge drinking. You will probably not adhere to this one, but you should. Getting drunk is one thing, getting fubar is entirely different, and will most often be regrettable.
30. Make sure girls know that you know how to troubleshoot computers. They will need your help, and they will be grateful for it.
31. Don't go to class stoned. Just trust me on this one.
32. Bathe. Daily.
33. Never take advantage of a woman who is intoxicated. You'll feel better about yourself, and chances are when she sobers up and realizes what a gentleman you are, you will get your reward in spades.
College is a time when a lot of people fine tune their moral compasses. You are making yourself into the person you want to be. Think about the consequences before you act.
Well so does playing polka music, but you won't find Eric Clapton high-fiving an accordion player and giving him backstage passes anytime soon. Just because something requires skill doesn't mean that it deserves praise.
Feature of NintendoDS The latest line of game machine ' NintendoD s ' of Nintendo Co., it could not enjoy with the former game machine, until now the unique game play which is not is implemented. Personal entertainment this portable/as for the communication equipment, it was possible, made the wireless communication of 2 types possible to operate in the touch panel sound with two pictures. As for the game developer, being to be possible, to produce the game with completely new conception it does. The doubles clean two liquid crystal pictures, until now offer the epoch-making game play which is not, can experience the game simultaneously from two points of view. For example, with the race/lace game point of view from the driver's seat, already in one picture it can look at the whole race/lace in one picture. With the roll playing game, the game event happens in one picture, already it is possible in one picture to show the possession item of the prayer. In addition, it can also use two pictures as one large picture and the leading part must push down, it starts projecting the enormous monster. In the future, the user does the game in one picture, in order already for mail exchange with of the DS user to be possible in one picture even, becomes. In the complete 3D picture, the game can enjoy each picture of 3 inches, comfortably with any brightness due to back light. The function which is not the present game machine, PDA (the portable information terminal) there is a touch screen function the way in the liquid crystal picture under the touch screen. In other words, the prayer operation does not depend on the button and being also the ?to be good, does. It is possible it just touches to the liquid crystal picture, to make the character move with the dedicated pen, and the finger to modify point of view. In addition, if the keyboard software is displayed, also character entry of message and the like is simple. Utilization manner of the touch screen with the idea of the game developer if spreads without. The picture is protected with the film of strength in order to maintain durability, the dedicated pen for inputting has been attached. As for the microphone prayer perhaps it reaches the point where in the future in just sound can operate the game. As for the DS software, it can recognize everything to the sound which hits the hand from the specification with voice. When liking to make the character move, just to specify the direction with voice it is necessary being it does. Furthermore if audio entry function is utilized, while to do the game with the user, in order for the voice chat which utilizes Internet to be possible even, it becomes. As for the wireless DS user, the maximum of 16 people (16 DS) with it is possible with local wireless network to connect. Guarantee carry-over factor is approximately 10 meters, but depending upon status furthermore it spreads. The high response rate where it is necessary for the communication game play of real time is guaranteed, also the consumption of the battery is little with the utilization of IEEE802.11 and individual communication protocol. In addition, using wireless LAN, if you connect DS to Internet, also the many people who leave far and possessing also game play are possible. Depending upon the game shared game software, using wireless communication with the wireless by the fact that it exchanges the data, only 1 there being a game software, it reaches the point where it can enjoy the opposition play with crowd. Using communication, it is possible also to have experiencing "the trial play" of the game software in the multiple prayers, probably is. The 3D graphics which exceeds ?????? 64 with the graphic engine which 3D anew was developed, was implemented. The game is expressed at 60 frames/second, finely description such as fog effect and cell shading has become possible. It becomes possible, the game to expand the utilization of sound and music audio with channel sound 16 to be deeper, from it can feel with the body, probab
I can't figure out how to find free agents for example, and it's hard to quickly check out the stats of players on other teams' trading blocks.
In the team roster page, the very first "team" that you scroll through (with the black and white buttons on the xbox, I believe) is free agents. Took me a while to find it too. That is also where your created players show up. Of course once you assign them to a team, make sure you update the depth chart, as I don't think the game does that.
"The promise or promises may be express (either written or oral) or may be implied from circumstances."
What the heck does that mean?!?
A good example of that is when you eat at a restaurant . There is an implied contract when you order your food that you will then pay for it. I believe these are called implied-in-fact contracts. IANAL.
The propaganda has always existed, and may even be necessary, and this is just a new way of doing it. I for one am looking forward to America's Army: Torture!, but I just hope they can get better models than this. She's no Lora or Samus, that's for sure.
ten points if you can name another company that does what halliburton does
Well, I suppose i can't...but that is largely because when Cheney took over at Haliburton, he cornered the market in certain areas (like Boots and Coots, who are controlled by Kellog and Brown, who is owned by halliburton). He then began lobbying the Clinton administration to go back to Iraq. Strangely enough, that lobbying took a precipitous tumble when he took office. They even note that no one else could implement the fire control plan on time but Halliburton, since it was Halliburton who wrote the plan. So to say that no else does what they do may be true, but it isn't the entire truth.
Like they say, its like bikinis, what they reveal is suggestive but what they hide is essential.
'The unit crashed so much while I was testing it, I practically beat a path through the carpet to the unit's location on the shelf...' and 'Roku HD1000 misses by such a wide margin, it isn't worth buying', the review paints a pretty grim picture of this unit
Yes, yes, but can it run linux?
and appears to put part of the blame on its Linux-based OS and software
While it is most likely a coincidence, when driving from Louisville to Lexington (Kentucky) you pass Shelbyville and Simpsonville, actual towns that are right next to each other (or damn close).
This sounds similar to the recent trojan horse proof-of-concept
This is nothing of the sort. The recent warning was for mp3 or other non-executable looking files carrying a trojan horse payload...that is far sneakier than this. This is simply a program that doesn't do what it claims to do. He expected an executable, he got an executable. An if he really thought that Microsoft would relase a public beta through limewire...well, caveat emptor and all.
Since it only deleted his home directory, it probably wasn't that sophisticated. I'm surprised it didn't attempt to escalate privilieges under the guise of an installer and do even more damage.
I suppose I should make a clippy joke here (I'm really tempted), but I actually like office X and am looking forward to the next version.
I remember that folks started anthropomorphizing macs as soon as they came out, perhaps in response to the happy mac icon at every startup (or the sad mac if you had problems that day).
The add on Talking Moose was what did it for me though...hard to describe this particular piece of software, but it put an animated moose in the corner of your screen... he would come on and say things (using Macintalk) in response to user actions with menu items and also randomly during idle times. It definitely gave me a connection to System 6, because he never really worked right with system 7. Unlike Clippy or Bob, the moose never really tried to be helpful, other than occasionally reminding you to save your document. But with his Canadian accent and hundreds of phrases, I still miss him to this day.
Robust? Robust? Something tells me you're spending too much time reading their marketing literature. Reliable...ok. Scalable...sure. But robust? This isn't coffeee you're talking about.
Let's say that the codec supports 24 bit color (3 8 bit channels). That gives 16.7 milion colors. In order to spell each of those colors as the British "colour" you would need 16.7 million "u"s. Since "u" is an 8 bit ascii character, you have (using 8 bits per byte) 16.7 million bytes. That's 16,384 kilobyes, or 16 megabytes. Which means even though it may look better, every file will be 16 megabytes bigger than its British counterpart.
I fail to see how this codec will be ideal for internet streaming until everyone has broadband.
Imagine - oil would no longer have much value, and so the Middle East would no longer be a constant battleground.
While it would indeed solve the worlod's energy problems, I have to disagree on the above point. The Middle East was a battleground long before oil meant anything. Perhaps what you meant was it would no longer be a battleground that the US cared about. Without oil, it would be more like Rwanda...bad shit would still happen there, but the developed world would not care.

I seem to remember that one can be prosecuted for inducing others to break a contract - an NDA in this case - so he may well be liable under that law.
1. Greedo now strangles a baby, sodomizes an Ewok, and then shoots at Han. First.
2. Several black stormtroopers added for racial balance.
3. Millineum Falcon is now totally riced
I'm sure there are others...

To be followed immediately by the blind and fingerless mans version.

Better to call it Orkut than his last name which is way too close to "Bukkake."
Then again, that's kind of a social thing too.

My menmonic, which should have been hard for people to guess, was "Please ask sister sally where's our rottweiler dog"
And the thing is, we didn't even have a rottweiler, it was a shepherd. But people still guessed it, so I don't use mnemonics anymore.
