At first glance, the article title registered as a spam email or text ad in my brain. Took a moment for it to sink in that it was an actual article. Anyone else have that reaction?
"We were the first to thermoform polycarbonate (PCEE); we invented the locking "clamshell" package and continue to serve up unique, custom solutions to your packaging needs."
Hell, in many of the Starbucks I stop in on my travels the staff calls it "expresso". I think you just gave me a great name for a new coffee shop: Exspecto's Expressos
On a side note, I've been called that before by accident (I think...hmmm).
From the looks of the chart, I think VB.NET would be included in the numbers. To me, that would explain the rise. VB.NET is a much better language than VB6.
I could have sworn I saw a story not too long ago about a man getting busted for just that (in the USA), but was only able to find a story about a person being fined for it in the UK:
Then, get ready for all of the internet to look like myspace, and watch for the articles about how great it is that we're free to choose our own "friends". So instead of hit counters we'll see "profile views"? Though it would be funny to read "Be honest LOL!" surveys filled out by corporate execs.
I would hate the brief moments of panic that occurred when I walked out of my door and thought my car was towed/stolen because it was no longer in the direction I thought it would be.
Don't lose hope. There's a new card game engine in the works that will be able to handle a game *exactly* like Munchkin. Once it comes out, you and I could play such a game over the interweb.
Yesterday I was playing with my little brothers. One of them was fighting a tough monster and needed my help, so I agreed to join in for 2 of the 3 treasures from the kill. After it died and I got my treasure, he went up one level from the kill and then another from a "gain a level" card that he got from the treasure pile. That made him level 3. Then I smiled at him and tossed him a Duck of Doom, bringing him back down to level 1. Yeah, I'd do that to my own family.
Haha! I knew you were talking about Munchkin within the first five words. I play it often and love it and think there should be an MMORPG as campy and whimsical.

You must not have found the watermelon cannon. You can bounce people into the ocean with it, while you're flying high above them. Good times...

Hans, ya-breakin' my balls here, Hans...ya breakin' my balls!
because they don't cost an ARM and a leg and they don't pose as much of a RISC

I'd rather play Clamdigger.
I saw it a couple days ago too, but can't seem to find it.

I knew I should have specified this beforehand, but I did my test in Firefox 2.0. Maybe they changed the way this works since 1.5?
Try doing what I did with say "beef" or "marmalade". You won't go to a webpage, you'll go to google's search results.
Using Firefox 2.0:
I went up to the address bar, typed "nissan", and hit enter. It immediately went to the Nissan USA website. Was it supposed to be harder?
Without references, the article is worthless.
All you have to do is leave your robot outside during a storm. If it is struck by lightning it will become self-aware.
It had his name all over it.
Mud?! Spoiled bastard. We used to swim around in the primordial goo and just reproduce asexually. Sure beats the dating scene...
