Buy the frickin diamond. I bought my wife one, even back when I was making about 12K/year. If you're worried about resale value, you shouldn't be getting married in the first place. Cough up a buck ya cheap bastard.
Are you kidding? Myself and a small band of old school had been searching for years for a copy of this movie on VHS. Finally one guy bought a copy from some obscure website. Then the other day I was at the store and saw a 2-disc collector's edition BAD TASTE DVD!
Yes, the old movies are coming to DVD, just wait and see.
"As a matter of fact, things seem to go the exact same way that they had before."
I've always interpreted the movie as they were never able to change the past. Every event that the characters did when sent "back" ended up in the "present" - the voice mail recordings, photos of graffiti, etc.
The movie comes full circle when young Cole sees himself being killed(his dreams) at the airport in the last scene. A self-fulfilling prophecy, of sorts. Excellent movie, in my opinion.
As a kid I could sit through an entire novel. My attention span is shot as an adult. After the MTV-raped teen age, I can't get even 1/2-way through a comic book now.
First off, let me tell you I work for a chain of flooring retailers, who don't know anything about anything except the difference between plush and saxony carpet. I started as an accountant using an all-paper system, then was appointed "MIS"-(whatever title they have for me this week), which included network admin for 5 seperate LANs (NT - yeah, I know), and some development to make up for what our shrinkwrapped software can't do. These people are salemen. Do they know management? No. Do they know the internals of a business(accounting, etc)? No. Do they even know how to use a computer? No.
As I said before I've spent the past few years building applications which the package we bought cannot accomplish. Last month I ran an update of this package. All my applications died. They completely changed the database(run on Btrieve, no less).
The last month I have been blitzing through my code, modifying all my sql strings, allowing for NULL's - which weren't in the database before, etc. I finally had almost everything re-built.
Monday, to my delight, I was visited by the owner who said he was going to ship all of my app's to our software vendor and see how much it would cost for them to re-build them all.
And to top it all off, yesterday I got a call from within a managers' meeting asking if an app that I had built to export certain reports to (*.txt) text files, could be rebuilt so they could export them to ascii text files.
These people are the people who are in charge, ladies and gentlemen. They provide me with a paycheck. I rely on them to keep their business open so I can feed my family. Instead of me hating my job, I really should be hating myself for relying on these people. Who should I be blaming, my boss for being incompetent, or myself for allowing him to be my boss?
Slashdot Mirror
Sure, ruin Star Wars, Dukes of Hazzard, Transformers, and millions of other memories from my childhood days. Why not ruin Voltron.
While you're at it, go back in time and kick my dog, slash my bike tires, and burn down my fort.
Like how ebooks eliminated the need for printed books. I'm looking across the street at the demolishion teams at Barnes & Nobel and Borders right now.
'exhibited unusual behavior in the workplace prior to carrying out their activities.'
Refering to management?
John Ratzenberger!?!
Holy crap! He's my favorite voice actor of all time! Hamm, P.T. Flea, Abominable Snowman, the Underminer! And now the Pope!
Congrats, my man!
I've seen it at least 10 times since it's first release. I'm starting to get sick of Elliot's whinning.
Dude, Zep's playing again?
Where can I get tickets?

Sure, Aibo the robot dog is cute, but can he fetch you a beer?
Great the first robot of the trailer park scene!
Can it turn the talkin picture box to NASCAR?

Not being a dick, just technical. Broken was actually an EP.
Kinda reminds me of something I read before.
Man, I love the Onion.
That might be backwards.

"more accessible to kids"
Isn't it rated PG-13 vs. Star Wars' PG ratings?
"television standards are much looser and allow for more innovative and interesting programs to be shown"
What? Like Red Green?
That's not a slam - I love that show.
And here I thoughts my ol' smell-hound "Skeet" was dumb. Turns out it's us people who's dumber than a box of rocks.
I'm a-gonna go and sell my trailer and quit livin' this high life.
SKEET! I'M A-MOVIN' IN WITH YOU!
"Die, bad robots, DIE!"
silver is the new black.
I guess I have to go back to kindergarten.
Theyre bringing Coolio into the mix and calling it PHAT32.
I'm going to start bar coding my customers.
How about:
"Hello World."
That's in english, damn I love that language.
Let me tell you about my month:

Who are you blaming?
Are those plumbers at this show...?
I'm doing one this year.
I'm getting a dell.
