In taste tests by both experts and neophytes, Ketel One consistently beats out Grey Goose, in fact, it always rates number one. I prefer Absolut myself because I like flavoured vodkas. In a dirty martini I'd rather have Vox.
The first issue of Cargo magazine was the last published taste test I saw. They drank it on the rocks and in a mixer or two, I forget the exacts.
Personally I'm a little iffy about altering the mass of a giant object that orbits the Earth. I don't know about the physics here but how would it affect the orbit of the moon if we started increasing its mass by bringing materials from earth up there?
It was Duran Duran's organ. The pill was how they made "love" on Earth. Dildano was the one who used the pill with Barbarella, despite not knowing whether or not their psycho cardiograms were in perfect harmony.
If the filesharing is truly private, why bother with such a restriction?
Because this eliminates any RIAA argument. It's just like radio now. I think it's a great happy medium, I just wish Apple hadn't taken this function out of iTunes (no internet sharing anymore).
The DC Metro system handles rush hour perfectly fine. My sister lives there and I visit her about 5 times a year for a week at a time and get around almost exclusively by the Metro. The trains crisscross in the most popular areas for a reason. The city is set up to make it convenient to live anywhere in the area and still ride the train (and more rails are being added to loop the perimeter).
People in small cities do not require mass transit. There is enough available parking and few enough places to go where it is not cost effective to build or maintain a mass transit system.
Medium sized cities are perfect because there is enough impetus for people to forgo cars altogether, Washington DC is a perfect example. Most people who live there do not drive regularly because of the popularity (along with cleanliness and reliability) of their Metro system.
Large cities just need to seat more passengers. In New York, most people are only going near train stations, not exactly to them. Business spring up around opportunity. A lot of neighbourhoods flourish when a train stop is added nearby because more people frequent the businesses than just locals.
The biggest problem with modern rail systems is that most cities do not have urban planners. The rails end up going where businesses or lobbyists want them to go, not where people actually need to go.
What if they force the Internet provider to wipe any file that is not signed by them and thus prevent these p2p networks to be used for Free contents ?
Because in a business model, it is not cost-effective for an ISP to monitor its own traffic. At this point, no one is going to pay more than ~$20 a month for dial-up and ~$40 a month for broadband.
If ISPs had to start monitoring all their traffic, they'd have to buy new hardware, software, hire more employees to do the checks, hire more employees to inform customers of violations, etc. Who do you suppose will pay for that?
According to NintendoDS.com: "multiple players can play multiplayer games using just one Nintendo DS game card." Even with GBA there are single-pak modes for many multiplayer gamepaks.
You mean games like Viewtiful Joe? They're still around. Plus there's a ton more 2D games on Gameboy if that's your interest. They also happen to have outstanding graphics, witness Castlevania Aria of Sorrow.
There's also many genres of games besides platformers and action games that are not affected by 3D: sports, racing, puzzles, RPG. Yes, I miss games emphasizing detailed enviornments and music rather than the novelty of navigating a 3D world with a 2D device, that's why I have a Gameboy along with GCN and PS2.
That was the point of my post, you can't prove that something didn't exist.
And, no, without empirical evidence (i.e. fossil records, remains, REPEATABLE and VERIFIABLE observations, etc..) I would NOT believe in the existance of the dodo.
Just like the coelacanth, huh?
What baffles me is that people are no longer being taught proper Scientific Method in school. This is what leads to statements like the parent's. Sheesh.
We do not have a standard curriculum in America, so unless you have done a survey of public and private schools, you're just pulling that out of your ass, weren't you just ragging about that?
Stories of fire-breathing dragons are also common among almost all of the world's cultures.
Yup, and there's no proof they didn't exist. Who knows what dinosaurs were still around during that time. We still have some now. Without proof, if you heard the story of the Dodo today, would you believe it? It's almost hard to believe there's a platypus, a furry duck that nurses its young?
What they need to do is set their prices competitively and get some innovative content.
This is exactly what they have been moving away from. There used to be exclusive content on AOL, reasons to have it even if you had a proper ISP. Now every link is redirected to a web page. What, exactly, makes AOL different than a normal ISP if everything is on a web page?
For a while now they have ignored the resource of having a proprietary client. They could be doing things with the AOL client that cannot be done with the web, like they used to do. Instead they are a relatively expensive ISP that is laden with ads.
What exactly is "two times less" supposed to mean? Literally, it means that they should be shoving as much power back into the grid as these comparable systems. 'Cause "one time less" would be zero.
Next you'll tell me the square root of -1 is an imaginary number, sheesh!
Welcome to the 21st century. People do not get their political information from candidates campaigning off the back of a train, they get it from television or newspapers and now even web sites. They rarely get it from the candidates directly.
Right now all the major candidates do is campaign in swing states, so tell me again about Idaho, Montana, and Iowa? I live in Ohio and Bush and Kerry were here in Cincinnati 3 times this election, how many times did they go to those states?
Would they look at me, and decide, "Here is a young person. He doesn't have a lot of money, so we're not going to waste time helping him find what he wants, since he probably couldn't afford it anyway."
Having worked retail as a profession for 9 years, most sales staff do not have the ability to help me. They're not skilled enough. Therefore I have an easier time if they don't bother me. Luckily most of them do look at you and make decisions, so I usually use my "annoyed and disinterested" face to ward them off.
Most of the time I find consumers know more than the sales staff because the sales staff at most places are not paid high enough to have high quality sales staff.

I think being the #1 PC vendor warrants the comparison. I always find it fascinating when people find a product flawed because they can't afford it.
Begone! Your breasts have no power here!
Well you have to admit, she is rather mannish!

crimethink is doubting any of the principles of Ingsoc.

The Orgasmatron was originally from Barbarella.

I didn't know he was ever in digital music. I was pretty sure he was into P2P applications.
