Interestingly enough, there was a made-for-TV movie about ten years ago that went that same route. They had real newscasters from various markets all reporting on meteor strikes within the US.
Of course, despite dozens of disclaimers, panicked people still called the stations to ask if it was for real.
There wouldn't be any point to have this settled in court anyway. It would certainly cost more than $500 for legal fees and such to get the money back if Paypal does take it.
I know some people who would be horridly offended if you were to tell them the results of every football/baseball/basketball/soccar/nascar/rugby/w ater polo/cricket/volleyball/bullfighting.... etc. before the event was ever aired on TV.
I wouldn't be. I'd just like to know how they got that copy of Grey's Sports Almanac away from Biff.
Shouldn't we have free and open access to these pictures?
As an experiment, try having "free and open" access to places paid for by our tax dollars (military bases, federal buildings, even parks after dark) and see what kind of reception you get.
He eventually applied for and landed a job there, which started his lifetime career as a systems analyst. He also had only a few years of college under his belt.
You'd have to wonder if anyone could pull this off in the same way today. Many HR departments cast off resumes right out of hand for not having degrees/certs. The web based ones like Taleo are even worse, using keyword weighting to sift though resumes, rejecting the ones that don't make the cut according to that criteria before human eyes even see it. Hiring managers have their hands tied since they can only hire from the pool of applicants that HR compiles.
Makes you wonder how anyone gets ahead in corporate America.
from the Internet Storm center. Tonight, expect a high pressure system of script kiddies from the northeast to make the morning telecommute messy. Tomorrow, scattered DDOS showers, high of 10000 bots. Now, here's Glenn with sports.
I don't see where they're getting the money to do this. Since the show ended, it's Mallon, Barb Tebben and one or two other people. Is mail order of sundry MST3k items enough to keep the doors open?
If memory serves, this was the asshat who got escorted out of a panel he was giving at Defcon once his talk started to descend into advocating violent action against the RNC.
Maybe as a nod to the Tribble time travel episode of DS9, they'll look at the TOS fashions versus the modern-looking uniforms and say "we don't discuss it with outsiders".

So now we have Star Wars, Episode IV, designed by a committee edition.
All in favor of hot grits, say aye.
The Holiday Special is said to have been altered too. In the new edition, Jefferson Starship shoots first.

Larry Wall We probably wouldn't have had the Web as we know it without Perl
Hell, you wouldn't have the web as we know it without Vint Cerf.

Oh well, guess we had a lot of news going on the past few days...
Slashdot is still in an uproar over the revelation of the Ewok movies coming to DVD. What did you expect?
Cecilia, you're breaking my cipher...
They could call themselves "Three Jackasses".
Oh great, then MTV comes knocking...

fiat means "having no intrinsic value."
"The word fiat, IIRC, comes from the Italian word for "in faith."
Having been behind the wheel of one, I have to agree across the board.
Most, if not all, airlines will not let you take an O2 tank on the flight.
That doesn't make sense considering many airlines have oxygen as part of their first aid kits.
Except for some humorous posts involving aptly-named musician Bruce Cockburn.

Stating the obvious to Obvious Guy! Classic!
Won't this interfere with the thermal imaging cameras fire departments use to find people in fires?
Mr. Goatse sheds a tear
Yep, I remember the episode. You can't make exactly the same joke for lack of Klingons, but the faithful would laugh.
Science isn't sexy news in America.
When Paris Hilton has nightvision camera sex with the Hubble Space Telescope, you'll be singing a different tune.

I saw that cat-ear guy at HOPE. I wept.
Maybe Katie Jones should redirect traffic to some raunchy porn sites ;-)}
As opposed to those non-raunchy porn sites?
