The Netflix deal with Tivo fell through, IIRC. Perhaps Google will take the reigns and work with Tivo instead. After all, Tivo has developed software to deliver advertising to customers' Tivo units.
The toaster will try to distract you with light, morning conversation and offer you a variety of toasted bread products. The *shop vac* will then sneak up from behind and suck out your guts through your anus.
I can't be the only one who's pictured that scenario.
Whenever I'm called into the boardroom or my boss's at work, I like to walk out afterwards limping a little, slightly bent and grasping my buttocks. Always good for a laugh or two:)
"I don't think I'll quit WoW over this, but I will take away some lessons."
If this is something that frustrates you so much, maybe you should quit WoW...$$$ is the only thing Blizzard cares about (like most other businesses). At some point you need to find your dealbreakers and breaking points and draw the line then and there. But that didn't happen here; otherwise *that* would have been a story!
I wouldn't say that sending out apostles is really the same thing as organized religion as we know it today. At that point in time, they were probably just getting word out. My understanding is that his basic message was to love God with all your heart, body, strength and mind and to love everyone. That sounds like a much more personal religion than an organized one. All that other "stuff" that came later is rehashed Egyptian mythology and politics.
And there is the problem right there...in economic terms, they are receiving tax dollars in the sense that the church isn't paying any taxes. Sorry, but if you want to restrict speech like a regular private entity can, then you should not accept a free ride on property taxes from the government (ie MY WALLET). You can't have it both ways.
"The point of a laptop is that it is portable, you can take it with you places."
There is no one point to a laptop; that's why there are so many different models with lots of different sizes and feature sets. I use a 15" laptop during the workweek that I take home for the weekend for playing Counterstrike. It's about 7lbs, but portability is not its main purpose...I bought it for the large, ultrasharp screen. However, when I'm relaxing on the couch or travelling somewhere, my 12" iBook with wireless is the only way to go.
My dad's friend was deep into a poker game in Canada, about 400 miles over the border, at a hunting lodge in the middle of nowhere. The worst thing that he could have said (and in fact did say) was "how am I supposed to care about losing if this stuff looks like play money?" But I'm sure you've heard Americans say that quite often.
There was an article posted here a couple months back about an alarm clock that would jump off the table and run around the room...you pretty much have to be awake to find it, catch it and turn it off.
As for operating a clock's basic features when one wakes up, I have a Timex indiglo radio alarm clock that is shaped like half a cheese wheel with a flat top. Even when I'm incredibly groggy, I can manipulate its *two* separate alarms, ie. turning them off or even changing the alarm times while I'm half asleep. The indiglo face helps me see what I'm doing in the dark without being overly bright (which is adjustable, too).
Your pseudo-intellectual racism might get you good marks in an undergraduate-level humanities class, but otherwise you just come off looking like an ass. Newsflash: everyone explores conquers and colonizes because everyone sucks equally.
Corporations and PACs are composed of citizens, too. It's just that they're acting on their particular interests, while everyone else is sitting on the couch or writing comments here.

"Organized religion."
Which Jesus was against...oh irony of ironies.

I just hope he clears the room of chairs before having a meeting with Steve Balmer.
It might have something to do with personal hygene, or lack thereof. But definitely no parallels when it comes to naked women running around.
Don't knock it man, it was the best prom night ever!
We're starting to come around now and have some colored bills...$20, $50 and $10 is coming out soon.

"Or even better persuade companies/ the stock markets/ banks to operate 8 till 4 instead of 9 till 5."
My company came up with a novel solution along those lines. Our office hours are 8 to 6.
This is more like Microsoft going into the vacuum cleaner business and making something that doesn't suck for a change.
SCV good to go, Sir!
I'm lactose intolerant, you insensitive clod!

You can't, but citizens can.

Well, some people will try anything once.
