Dude, if you're going to give away vital information about the movie, you should put a spoiler warning somewhere. Gets the red costume halfway through the movie, indeed.
My brother and I decided that we *had* to get an Atari the day of the biggest snowstorm of the season (northern Minnesota). My dad had to shovel not only the driveway, but the alley and a good portion of the side street to get to the only street that was plowed.
Aladdin's Castle used to give you 40 tokens for five bucks, which was great because you could sell five tokens for a dollar, recoup, and still have tokens. You could also fool some games into giving you a credit by spinning a penny through the slot.
The best part about the Journey game for me was the way the "roadie" looked so much like the Kool-Aid Man.
Too true. My Mom had me move the Atari to the kitchen so she could play Pitfall and Pac Man between chores. She was probably the only person who ever really *enjoyed* 2600 Pac Man. Now that she's on the Internet, it's all about PopCap. Whenever they visit us, I have to spend a day cleaning all the downloaded crap off my machine.
Most people don't think in the abstract. Ask somebody which weighs more, a pound (or kilo, if you wish:) of feathers or a pound of bricks, and most people will say bricks. People can recognize a two-liter bottle because the measurement *is* the object.
Engineers use metric because it's logical. The public will use metric when the engineers leave them no choice. My car has a 3.9L engine. My camera has an 80mm lens. Medicine is dispensed in milligrams.
The problem is that there will always be a place for natural measurements: an Astronomical Unit, a light year. I just hope nobody tries to push decimal time during my lifetime.
Suckage would depend on whether you're duping the Crossroads with "Karate Kid" Ralph Macchio or the one with Britney Spears....on second thought, you're pretty much guaranteed suck.
I worked as an operating technician for a TV station. During orientation, the station manager (How important was the message? It was delivered by the boss...) made it very clear that the programming was only a container for the advertising. If I had to screw up and drop the signal, do it during the program.
Usually, I can tell that it's an Automated Call Distribution system by the two seconds of silence and the sounds of switches clicking and hang up. Occasionally, I'll get caught off-guard and wind up talking to somebody who's asking for "Mr.." When that happens, I'll ask them politely if they can hold on for a second, put the receiver down on the table and go back to doing whatever. The next trip to the fridge, I'll hang the phone up.
I don't even know if this is still a problem, but I haven't used a Zip drive since I lost an archive to the infamous Click of Death. I have a 64Mb USB drive on my keychain which works just fine for getting stuff from work and back.
Neopets is an extremely successful website which creates games with a sponsor's product and includes products as items within the game. Most of the games are not product or sponsor related, but you get a little advertisement in the sidebar every time you refresh the page. It advertises both the sponsor games and the non-sponsor games.

Or, you could just buy (I know, that's an evil term here on Socialistdot) a tool that allows multiple individual development, like ClearCase.
I'd be happy to let you "uncollect" my old comic books. My wife would be even happier.
Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.
How is my computer their turf? I can understand competition, but turf war? Lame.

Then you get a page telling you that there's too many connections and begging you for money.

What's the deal with the White Stripes? I've heard their music--am I just missing the joke?
I just hope that retailers don't think, "Hmm, the Ti 4600 is too good a value. We should raise the price..."
I've been a little confused about this one--exactly *which* rights has the Attorney General taken from you?

Believe it or not, that's a pretty good wage for Duluth...

It is PKD and it's called "Faith of Our Fathers." It's available only in the anthology Dangerous Visions.
