Persuading elderly drivers to give up their cars is difficult
Have you ever really tried? Sure they get ornery and wave their canes around a bit, but most of them are fairly frail and the task can be completed with ease. Sometimes they're confused and just think you're a valet - these ones will hand you the keys with a smile!
air? ehh, I don't buy it. I think it's much more likely that this car is somehow able to harness the massive forces of repulsion generated from those that happen to lay eyes on the hideous design of this thing.
huh, maybe this could lead to a paradigm shift away from the chubby sys admin. Athletes might be excited to try this job since the best way to train is to sleep (or in this case work) in low O2 and to train in normal O2. Lance Armstrong uses a room with low ppO2 for just this reason. I wonder if his hard drives last longer than mine?
well the thing about cables is that for short distances it rarely matters what you buy, but for long distances it often does - and this is the rub - long cables are already going to cost more, high quality long cables are going to cost a LOT more. Monster cables may be of decent quality (not audiophile grade or anything like that), but they tend to market towards replacing your typical 6ft radio-shack cables which really won't provide any kind of performance difference and will just cost 3-10x as much.
my dogma is to keep components as close as possible- especially for video applications, buy cheap short cables and save dough for when you really need a long cable and buy a good one.
yeah, I used to think they were dirty bastards, but they just work on a different scale than the rest of us.
The trick is to purchase your HD in pennies.
the trend is worrying, but i think it's easy to keep looking up the steep slope as you're climbing up and to not realize that the point you're at is already a pretty scary place. it's easier to say, well this is okay I guess, but it bodes poorly for the future. However, if I had heard about this technology being employed in such a manner five years ago it would have directly sent shivers up my spine. i.e. when we do start seeing cameras that won't take pictures of federal buildings there will be those that argue - well, sure it's fine, but what about when when our cameras automatically sync up with the CIA? freedom is becoming a very relative privilege.
I'm not sure I stated that in the clearest way possible - but there's a message in there somewhere.
heaven forbid I should try and copy or move my MP3 file from 'Player A' to my in-car 'Player B' which is designed to be operated whilst driving, unlike player A which is about as big as a small box of matches and is bloody dangerous to fiddle with whilst on the move.
indeed, but not as dangerous as stealing from the record industry and macrovision at the same time by not using DRM'd media. Sure you might end up in a horrific MV accident, but there's your soul to think about to, have you thought about your soul?
holy crap - there's more FUD in that video than a whole generation of parents warning about hairy palms.
I wonder if to this day those programmers are dropping casual references to their appearance in a "rap video" in attempt to get laid. I probably would.
I've heard this argument before and I still think it's a load of crap. The people who download anime freely are most often those who are least likely to buy it.
maybe you were being sarcastic? But do you really know anime fans that feed their addiction soley through pirating? Are you sure they don't have ghost in the shell posters, dragon ball z t-shirts, rare DVDs, action figures, stacks of printed manga, DVDs from netflix, and assorted packaging lying around with postage from Tokyo on it. The anime market appeals very much to the collectibles consumer, and I have yet to see anime fans that haven't bought into this aspect of it to at least some degree.
"Don't you know that that's bad for you?"
and I'm sure that was about as effective as dirt. The beverage companies could care less about any verbal offensives taken against their products once they've already established a means of selling them in such a prime environment.
If people, especially children, are exposed to ads/product placement, all the knowledge and naysaying in the world won't stop it from being effective. Cigarette companies still advertise despite massive public awareness and anti-smoking campaigns - and it works swimmingly.
yeah, and it would have to be a lot of seeds in this one vault. Seeds are mostly fiber anyway - post-apocalyptic people would probably prefer it if we just crammed the thing full of beef-jerky.
I've long held that NASA really needs to capitalize on being one of the few organizations that can offer a zero-G sexual experience. This whole sexual issues debate can be resolved by using porn-stars for the mars mission - no sexual tension, everyone just fucks everyone, almost all the time, and it's in zero-G and there are webcams all over the frickin' shuttle and you can subscribe to watch for a modest fee online. This will also kick-start the sexual space tourism industry which is bound to be a billion dollar venture that I will surely see not a penny of despite my philosophical contribution.
her website will probably just shift the surgeon into a whole new money-making demographic - men badgered by their wives for not expressing enough interest in whatever it is they're talking about. With eyebrows like that, an occasional tilt of the head away from the football game (or WOW game here I suppose) gives the illusion of intense interest. You're never going to get the "Are you even listening to me?!" line with a brow like this-> http://www.mysurgerynightmare.com/images/ggbae_(2) .jpg
you're right - let's slashdot the heck out of it so the military can't get to the website, 'cause as soon as some goofball in the military gets an idea about using "robots" as killing machines- whoa!
Slashdot Mirror
sweet.
meh, I'd buy one if it didn't include the windows tax.

yeah, but I kinda like Mormon porn.
that's it. Everytime I hear about someone ceasing to use P2P out of fear generated by this kind of nonsense, I'm going to punch a baby.

Sorry - but until www.chucknorrisfacts.com is back online I'm on my own with these.

"100,000 pennies! why that's 1024 dollars!!"
i hear they have toilets like that in japan.

thought this might be good for porn - then started thinking about paper cuts.
Registerfly management, made some friends and connections, and is creating a back-door problem-reporting form
this is what happens when you make too many "friends and connections" -- you end up with a back-door problem. happens all the time.
does this all mean that soon actors may be mere meat sacks on which to draw/animate?
if that's true, then Keenau Reeves will get yet more undeserved credit for pioneering this movement. What an unfair world.

When I see a plane flying low I still assume its landing, not attacking the city...
wow, that's so 90's. I duck and cover and call homeland security. You're not watching enough TV!

Fortunately, this hasn't occurred to anyone but you.... yet.
sweet. business has been dwindling on my sale of high flow shower heads - soon I'll be able to diversify my inventory.
What puzzles me is how the bomb squad got to these things before anyone stole them? A lit up mooninite would look damn good on my wall.
Simulate me a steamy Swedish playmate, and then show me what happens when I take her top off.
okay, but I'm not sure what simulating her slapping you and then suing you has to do with fluid dynamics.
