    Next week, Myers will head out onto the highway where he will scrupulously drive at exactly 35 mph in the left lane for the entire trip.

    "I don't understand why these other drivers don't like that. I'm going under the speed limit, so it's all legal.", he was quoted as saying shortly before being swallowed up by the angry mob.

    So how do you learn how to make powerpoint slides?

    It would save money and give Michael Bay something to do besides making crappy summer action movies.

    But what if we don't want the moon to explode as soon as they land on it?

    Last winter I took a trip to the Kennedy Space Centre to watch a launch. While I was there I stopped in at the gift shop and picked up a coffee cup with a picture of the Space Shuttle on the side.

    It wasn't until I got home and washed the thing that I noticed the "Made In China" sticker on the bottom.

    Somehow it seemed appropriate.

  9. This must be stopped! on Most Complete Topographical Map of Earth Complete · · Score: 2, Troll

    A completely accurate topographical map of the whole Earth? Including possible locations of military installations, elementary schools and donut shops? That's madness!

    You know who would want this kind of information? Terrorists, that's who. If they figure out what the Earth looks like, they might blow it up! Clearly this 'Japan' company is a front for free-lance international terrorists like Hans Gruber, and they must be stopped.

    Keep this dangerous terrorist tool off the market before the children are hurt by it! Pass new laws restricting access to this kind of sensitive topographical information. Make it a crime to even talk about possessing a "map", even if it's of a fictional place. Only then can we truly be safe.

    If McDonalds folded tomorrow, we'd see an explosion of innovation and potentially better burgers.

    While exploding burgers would be cool in a Michael Bay sort of way, I don't see them selling quite as well.

    But at least putting an exploding burger in your mouth would be better for you than eating at McDonalds.

    Screw that. If you were serious about gaming you would have had the Epyx 500XJ. And you would use it until the red plastic stick broke off and your left hand curled up into a ball from the painful cramps, and then you would keep on going -- pushing the steel rod around with your right hand and pushing your knee against the button until your power supply overheated and you just couldn't play any more.

    Using the same protocols as the 'official' testing, they found that thawed chickens busted windscreens as effectively as thawed chickens.

    Wrong.

    I find that hard to believe. Are you trying to say that there is a significant difference between thawed chickens and thawed chickens?

  15. In case you don't know on Canada Considering Online Voting In Elections · · Score: 1

    Canadian voting machines currently come in two types: "Number 2" and "HB". There has been some talk about how "Number 2" style voting machines producing inaccurate results, but nobody has been able to prove that yet.

    Canadian elections are a very simple matter. Voters head off to their local polling station, usually a school or community centre, request a ballot or ballots from the elections officer who is usually accompanied by an observer from each of the major parties trying to make sure that nothing unusual happens, and then heads off to a simple wooden desk with a big cardboard screen on it. The voter marks a big 'X' in the circle located next to the appropriate candidate or referendum answer and then folds up the ballots and slips them into the big cardboard box next to the officer and observers.

    That's it. No butterfly ballots, no hanging chads, no touch screens, no voting on what kind of potatoes should be served in the cafeteria on Capitol Hill and what they should be called, just one vote for your local representative and possibly a referendum question which is actually important. Ballots are counted by hand and the results released later that evening after all of the polls close.

    Why mess around with a system that works?

    Well, it's a good thing there are 10,000 other domain squatters with very similar names all sharing the same PO box with me. This way we can each just buy one for the lowest price.

    Just remember that Sandisk made two completely different devices with the Sansa E200 label on them, and only one is fully supported by RockBox. The newer Sansa E200 v2 was completely unsupported until just recently and is still highly experimental. If you're buying for someone who doesn't live for the thrill of living on the bleeding edge then be very careful about exactly what kind of Sansa you buy.

    Having been on the pointy end of SORBS several times I can honestly say that I never had any trouble getting off of it. I never had to pay any money, make any threats, or invoke demons from the lower planes to do it.
