It's ~1:30am Monday morning (.au Time), with a deadline to be reached by 9:30am, and I can't stop playing a 3D shockwave version of Pong!
Talk about your history of games... Pong's appeal is ever reaching. It is God's gift to the CRT. It is the pixelated equivalent of a fresh spring morn.
In a word:
Quintessential!!!
Either that or procrastination is somehow involved.
I don't care if the latest breaking news is "Scientist clone new super species of hybrid shark/goat" or "Apple releases latest PC: the iGoat", know this, and know it well:
An article on slashdot with "GOAT" in the headline is inviting trouble
The Slashdot Effect: (phrase, colloq.) The process by which a server is brought down causing hardworking Oxford dictionary staff to lose many, many invaluable hours of work and research. (see: assholes)

Thanks to new Babelfish technology there will be no multi-language versions of the HHGTTG DVD.
Just insert the DVD and let the fish do the rest.

Rather than searching the plane to make sure all bugs/listening-devices are discovered, it would be easier just to fit a cone of silence
"What's that Chief?!"
"I'm sorry Max, you'll have to speak up!"
:)
Soon all we'll be able/allowed to record are infomercials featuring Danny Bonnaducci and/or Chuck Norris
GOD HELP US ALL!!!

For those of you having trouble getting through to the article you can see a picture of the proposed exoskeleton here

Targeting the college-age crowd, they'll have... ...'MTV-specific' content
So what is this special new 'MTV-specific' content? Does the MTV PC actually allow you to see 'Music Videos' on MTV or something?
:)
The hardware is sold as a loss-leader, and it'd have 3D abilities missing from the "mini"
Just a thought.
'This e-mail is sent you as warning from Bill Gates about the new ChipDet computer virus
It is very serious an if not detected can cause your computer chip to explode, which will also explode your computer.

1. Bored cyber-jurors alt-tabbing between the trial and pornography.
2. Mistrials caused by BSOD
3. Microsoft anti-trust cases being presided over by 'MS Justice XP' software.
Going back to point 1 though... Is anybody else looking forward to jury duty?
:)
So if you've only got a license for a scooter or a moped does that make you a second class citizen.
If conscription were to start what are the bets that the majority of groundtroops and frontline operatives will be the moped owners.

This new naming convention so@nds like q@ite a breakthr@

...Won't someone go to the effort of making a pun involving the words "brown dwarf" and "uranus"!
I am almost certain it can be done. Someone out there must have the technology.

Forgotten Characters:
No. 1 - "That Little Kid Who Played Anakin and said 'Yippee' A Lot"
I'd like to forget but I just can't.
:)
Maybe it's a little bit more like this:
Age In Mice A Byproduct of Cancer Defense
Age In Humans A Byproduct of A Dodgy Marriage, Three Whining Kids, A Mortgage, A Dead End Job.
:)
I hope its like the N'Sync Simpsons cameo:
Justin Timberlake: "WORRRD!!!"
:)
"Yvan eht nioj" - Now that's catchy
From the UPI article, the inventor has a good appreciation of the ethical considerations.
Ask him about his appreciation of the ethical considerations with the machine switched on...
"erm..."
:)
...Tom Bombadil, is all I have to say.
If LOTR had any "so on begat so on" bible type bits then he was it.
"I'm Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo, something something something, now rhyme with 'Willow'"
In short GREAT CALL! He shat me.
:)
... RTFM!

Notice something wrong there?
Sorry, no, I don't notice something wrong they're!
Let's just hope their none too vindictive

I remember reading a news article and CmdrTaco's "mind bullet" comment makes me wonder if it was him they were talking about.
:)
Do cats go nuts at 40KHz?
If the answer is yes then Hoooo BOY!
Is there anything more annoying than a housemate's cats?
Sign me up for one of those small-mammal destroying PDAs. Second thoughts, make that two!
