Craftsman and Kenmore are pretty good brands. I think that was the only reason I ever *used* to shop there... but not any more after this fiasco. Looks like it's going to be Snap-on, Makita, and Whirlpool for me from now on.
Now I have the Super Mario Bros '1Up' sound for my text message notification, and I have Mega Man 3's 'Snakeman' stage music as my ringer. Sah-weet! So now every time your cell phone rings in public you get the shit kicked out of you?
Professor: "I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all." Fry: "Oh. What's it called now?" Professor: "Urectum. Here, let me locate it for you."
"A recent survey by online compensation firm Salary.com showed about six out of 10 employees in the United States acknowledged wasting time at work." ...and another survey showed that four out of 10 employees in the United States are habitual lairs.
Meh... I don't agree with it, but my company has the same terms for employment. If we are contacted by the media, all we can do is refer them to our PR division.
Why do reporters insist on interviewing marketing goons to uncover tech specs? This guy probably thought the reporter was asking if Leopard was going to include Zurich Financial Services.
"This country puts a lot more money into things that seem to me much crazier than this," said Mitch Rudman, a music industry executive in Las Vegas whose family foundation donated $20,000 to the experiment.
Oh no! This must be a conspiracy to allow RIAA hit-men to go back into time and take out the Internet before it was born.
"If you want to come up with cynical conspiracy theories, I'd buy the one that says they didn't want to pay what Olmos was asking for another season, but none of these actors are exactly superstars with Hollywood knocking down their doors."
You are exactly right. I have a friend that worked on the series and it's not a cynical conspiracy theory, but rather a monetary one. The series was not pulling in enough advertisers to pay for the cost of production and actors. If they could've found the right advertisers for the demographic, then I would agree that it was a creative decision.
Right... were they tired of making money? Or maybe they didn't make any money for the network? That seems more likely. So they creatively decided to stop the series because there were no interest from advertisers.
Sorry, I call shenanigan on the "it was a creative decision" bullshit. It's a business.

From the policy of freedom of information of Glasnost to the policy of free GPS of Glonass.
That is really to bad. Me and my hand wanted to join the mile high club.
So she had a Badonkadonk.
... but do you get a letter and a picture from the impoverished child that gets your laptop donation?
You are very correct. I hand my old systems down to my son. As I get older I forget what games went with what.
The last I saw, I thought GoldenEye was over the 8 million mark.
1. Run around screaming that the sky is falling
2. Develop and market a product that fixes the sky

He must have read Chicken Little.
"The truth is that the RIAA truly believes that they are more important than absolutely everybody else in the world!"
Oh come on! What's the point of even having an Earth if there was no Beyoncé?
"Money can't buy happiness..."
That may be true, but it can buy a jet ski and have you ever seen anyone frowning on a jet ski?

Just got this vision of Fred Flintstone chewing on some Wrigley's DoubleRock gum.
That gets my vote for the best Slashdot comment ever.
Would the last person to leave Redmond for Mountain View please remember to turn off the lights.
Shouldn't we worry about fixing our own planet before worrying about another one?

"...what career would you pursue coming out of college right now with a math or science degree?"
If it is not a graduate degree, you better be prepared to flip burgers.
She just needs to claim she's a Pastafarian. Arrr!
