When Ozymandis and Dr. Manhattan are talking at the end, Dr. Mahnattans says, "It is highly unlikily Rorshach will reach the mainland". Moments before, he obliterated him.

I mean, I'm not really into the cartoon scene...I mean, my kids watch cartoons and all, but I'm just not up on all that.
That's really tough about putting all that effort into recording episodes of Avatar, it must really be frustrating when you and your girlfriend sit down to....
They seem to keep wanting to add more features, which take more processing power, which require more powerful computers and more memory just to deal with the overhead.
Instead of continually taxing silicon based computer on the desk, can't we leverage the carbon based computer on the other side of the keyboard?. What if, instead, the focus became on designing the operating system to be as un-obtrusive and intuitive as possible? Instead of contiually adding features to constantly second-guess the user, focus on developing well written documentation and training software.
My guess is the following would happen:
Gamers would love such a system because more resources are available for games
Multi-media users would love it for a similar reason
Businesses would love it because it's easily configured to do what they need
Engineers/Scientist would love it for all the reasons mentioned above
Home users would accept it provided the documentation is easy to understand and it supports whatever they need it to support.
I knew I'd be able to work in a Quantum Physics joke at some point, This year, I resolve to come up with one that's actually funny or, at least, amusing in some way.
As a former participant in martial arts, I concur.

Can Time Slow Down?
·
· Score: 1
I don't know how you'd run such an experiment accurately. I don't think dropping people from a chair is quite the same and, my understanding has always been that not everyone percieves this "time distortion".
I am one of those people that do however, and it usually accompanies a state of extreme mental focus.
I (sort of) recall a particularly extreme case. I was in a tournament bout....it was very intense. Time was slowing down as it usually does. Usually, the sensation of time slowing down calms me down, However, this case was different. At one point, I completely lost awareness of my surroundings. I don't know any more accurate way to put it then that. I remember when that bout ended. I was at the edge of the circle when I became aware of the crowd screaming. I knew the match was over, and I knew I won, but I had no recollection of what I did....I still don't recall.
I remember walking back to my team, and they're all staring at me in astonsishment. I actually had to ask one of them what happened. The only explanation I ever got was, "You went f-ing Jedi on his A$$!". A more experienced fighter would eventually explain what I experienced and even tried to teach me a "chi-word" so that I could induce that mental state at will. It's sort of akin to a post-hypnotic suggestion. However, I never mastered that and this bought would be the only time I experienced something like that.
There was no video taken of that fight, to this day I don't know what I did.
They are a manufacturer of guitar strings. I seem to recall an article (perhaps even posted to/.) about them getting stung by the BSA. The responded by deploying Linux and going to open source software.
As I recall, it worked out well for them.
Then again, perhaps I should take the time and google "Ernie Ball" and see if my memory is correct;)

That's right....I knew that wasn't a plot hole

Your "tree of life" has inter-connecting branches?
That sounds a little....incestuous....no?
being that the stop is also a mile from work.
Glib != Insightful
very confusing mod....
Sounds like a new business opportunity for the Origami Boulder guy:

oh jeez....I'm sorry.....
Well, they play the crap out of south park and night.
perhaps SpongeBob is nicklodeon.
Point taken though, you probably watch a lot more cartoons that I do.
"...With cable, the same show can appear on a channel several times...."
Yes, let's explore that shall we? I've got over 100 channels and what do I get to pick from!?
COMEDY CENTRAL: 4 hour block of South Park
BRAVO: 4 hour block of Project Runway
A&E: 4 hour block of CSI
CARTOON NETWORK: SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS....SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANT....SPONGE...BOBBBBBB...SQUARE PAAAAANTS!!!!!
Because America won't return my calls....{...sniff...}

You clearly mis-understand the basic principles of quantum physics :p
NO....I think he must be one of those "Sub-Genius" critters there.....
Good News: Duke Nukem Forever is finally released and, surprisingly, to overwhelming critical acclaim for innovative game design.
Bad News: It subsequently gets an "Adults Only" rating and is immediately pulled from the shelves until it can be re-worked into a "Mature" rating.
Seriously, I think 3D Realms should just admit defeat.....but I'm still holding out for "Redneck Rampage" forever.
Slashdot needs a MOD +1 RIMSHOT
seriously....
That's why we had her modified to suit our needs....
...it's Austrailian, I think....

That's a TV Guide description for the Made-for-TV movie version
Watchmen - 74 minutes
"Guy with black and white mask eats beans from a can"
...you really need a girlfriend
That's the way I read it as well. Doesn't say you can't send humans to Mars, you just need to justify their reason for being there.
You must be new here.
Thank goodness you at least didn't make any spelling or grammatical errors.
What the heck, I'm on lunch anyway
