Google usually serves raw scans of books, with raw OCR for searching. They usually limit the number of pages available for books still in copyright.
Project Gutenberg serves books in text formats that have gone through several rounds of proofreading. The only accept books that are out of copyright, or have been released by the owners.
$250.00. That's more than half of what I paid for my entire system new. The cost of a new system seems to be heavily based on the graphics/monitor. Used to be RAM and disk.
Does the guy who makes the spaceship noises get a bonus? Does he have to make that "beep" noise on the audio for everyone, or do they have to make their own beeps?
The ugly American thinks that only Americans speak English.
Well, it's true. All those other's speak adultrated versions of the true English. Look at the English used by wikipedia, and you'll see that it's true!
If these events generate so much power in the lines, shouldn't we try to make use of this power? Add circuits to store these over-voltages instead of letting them destroy the power grid.
This sounds like it will be as terrible as the Y2K crisis was. Or was supposed to be.
Don't worry. Obama will just have the government buy them, just like he's doing with the rest of the failed companies (aig, gmc, etc.). Isn't having the government in control of all the largest companies a democrat goal? Just like any other communist/socialist country.
I wonder why they used, from what I can understand of the article, an unusual detection device. Did they try numerous other ones, until they came up with one that "worked"? I'd think that if an actual fusion reaction was occurring, it would produce enough radiation for noramal detection devices to pick it up.
I suspect that this will play out like the original mess.
That's why that right is protected in the US Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is just some nonsense to be ignored by the government. It's all covered up by "they didn't really mean that when they wrote it", even though you can read in the federalist papers that they did. Few of the so-called "rights" are still available. Freedom of religion means you are not allowed to display any sign of religious behavior anywhere. Freedom of speach is just lawsuit material. Right to bear arms is buried under massive amounts of paperwork and background checks.
The Bill of Rights is basically worthless now. You might as well tear it up.
Especially when all of their quotes are from "Saturday Night Live" skits.
Maybe we should get some good democrat quotes from the same source, like: "It depends on what your definition of is is", "I did not have sex with that woman", "I smoked, but I didn't inhale". Oh wait, those aren't...
That's why Al Gore is warning us so urgently. And why Republican governors are dangerous sources of hot air.
And that's why Al Gore's house uses more energy than 50 normal houses. He's using the energy before it can cause ecological problems from wasteful people.

Anyone remember Immanuel Velikovsky http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worlds_in_Collision
Could this be just the preliminaries for another Venus ejection event?
It can't be true! Cadie offered me a date, and now you're telling me that she isn't real!
Damn. That's the third time this has happened to me!
Well, I've got the id of 469614, but all my friends just call me 4. Do I get a 1 digit tag for that?

Once downloaded, the tool will search your drives for EA games infested with the draconian online DRM system
I bet that's not a quote from EA's documentation.
When you're an evil overload, you need to gloat and laugh maniacally about something.

TOPS-10
MULTICS
RT-11
MUMPS
RDOS
WPS-8
DOS (Almost every computer company had an OS they called DOS at some point or another)
Can you give us those numbers in terms that are in common usaage? Like LOC (Libraries of Congress), GB (Golf Balls), DTM (Distance to moon)

This all probably all started with a cherry pop-tart and a toaster.
This is why such programs as CSI are unsound as a basis for real criminal investigations.
The environment is plastered with DNA from numerous sources, but on CSI they operate as if a crime scene was sterile before the crime occurred.
And, being able to blow up a video image enough to be able to see reflections in someones eye?
How, exactly, did the DNA get *onto* the swab in the first place?
Take your pick, and add your own to the list. Could be accidental, or deliberate.
1. She packs the swabs into the boxes. Even if she wears gloves, if she scratches an itch, you get contamination.
2. Maintenance worker who has to fix the machinery and unclog jams.
3. Angry employee who spits into the machinery.
4. Chronic cough from smoking.
5. ???
6. Profit.
With this built-in GPS, would chimp-mounted lasers be more accurate than shark-mounted ones?
Let me know when you can repeat the formation of the universe.
Ok, did that for you. Let me know if anything seems different, and I'll try again.
Because he mentioned the number 42 in a book!
Since 42 is 7 times 9, you can also make jokes based on those two numbers.

The first eruption, in a sparsely area across Cook Inlet
Good thing it was in a "sparsely area". That's a kind of spice, isn't it?
He's only a "leader" because he's got lots of money to pay others to offset his excesses.
Actually, the company he buys his "offsets" from is owned by ... himself. By the way, can I buy "offsets" from myself, and write them off of my taxes?
