Oh no, please don't start up that again. Look, it's a roughly spherical lump of rock, in space with a star in its vicinity. Can't we just call it a 2nd-level planet and move on?
I've seen this claim made several times here on/. but have never found a source. Do you know if that is actually true or are you just repeating what you've seen on forums?
You should come to NZ and pick one up. The things are gathering dust in local electronics stores. People with lots of money are buying PS3s. The rest are buying PS2s and the occasional XBox2.
I thought 100% pure H2O, besides being utterly unobtainable, would kill you due to it having no hydronium ions and thus having an infinite pH making it a strong alkali.
No it's not ad hominem. I found your argument made sense and agree with it. The revelation that you could be a fish-eyed nutbar fruit-loop as suggested by your sig doesn't take any of that away.
That context does, however, make it a bit more difficult to take you seriously in future.
I was with you all the way up to the links in your sig. All I can say is I hope you're not too heavily involved in those batshit loco consipracy wankfests.
I vote for this one too. I'm never going to look at the Paramount logo or the Madagascar trailer again without cringing.
Any system that takes more than 5 seconds to eject OR load and play the main feature is sorely lacking. I thought we'd gotten past all this waiting crap after vhs tapes disappeared. You know, the ones where you were never quite sure if the last watcher had rewound it for you. At least then you knew the machine was doing something it *needed* to do.
I've seen vacuum cleaners with 4 PCBs worth of electronics inside, which happily burn out if you don't 'shut down' the lux correctly, say by pulling the plug out of the wall. Yes this is on a vacuum cleaner.
Oh, but it gets better: The only way to switch it on and off correctly is with a small control panel at the top of the hose, which is apparently where customers wanted it. But rather than run a wire back to the controller boards, no, they decided it would be tidier to go wireless. That's right, a battery-powered remote control to turn on and off your vacuum cleaner.
And I thought BMW were guilty of over-engineering.
Omisison. It's a marker for omission. As in "Jack's foolhardy plan", expands to "Jack, his foolhardy plan". That's why you don't use an apostrophe for posessive "its". You don't think "didn't" and "wouldn't" are posessive too, do you?
Oh dear I think I need to lie down. I'm becoming one of them!
Why on Earth would ClearChannel fight? They'll happily pay up, and play more ads to cover the shortfall. They don't care, they've got a monopoly (I think) in the US.

I'm curious. Where do you think all those myths about dragons come from? Fossil expeditions? Mutant clydesdale horses?
Which of Microsoft's rights have I violated? Their right to remain silent?
Perhaps you mean one of the nefarious terms written on the sheet of lavatory paper they called an EULA. Luckily they're not enforceable isn't it?
... and yet people continue to buy them. Possibly a good reason why the PS2 is still outselling all the 7-gen consoles in a lot of markets.

When I do get to a console party the crowd is generally happier with Singstar or Buzz on the PS2 than anything else.
... and not a single actual comment to date.

Any idea where there is a version we can actually see?
I remember seeing this at the /. firehose a while ago but it never made the front page.
Was it a joke or something?
No, but the page is showcasing a tool thats sole purpose is sexual stimulation for perverted masturbators. ie Not that different from porn.
Dude if that's really true then you're probably better off without her.
Dude that'd be, like, your sister!
Remember that to everyone but locals:
England == Great Britain == The UK
Any further distinction is mere nit-picking, like Canada being a part of North America.

UOPs must die.
Flatscreen TVs with grounded powerchords.
Your TV does grounded power chords? Man, mine just does boring old 12-bar blues.

Watch a couple of these hidden-camera episodes and get back to me with how unlikely you think this story is.
Or perhaps this.
Then again you might not mind if Britain ends up looking like France.
Just because the messenger is of ill repute (DailyMail in this case) doesn't mean the message is wrong or unlikely.
So how is this different from any other spyware? Let SpyBot do its job and kill these cookies before they can do any damage.

So here's my question:
Why hasn't (one of) the RIAA('s member companies) bought ClearChannel yet?
