CNN interviewed Jack(off) Thompson earlier in the week about this case. I happened to be flipping through channels and saw that douchebag, so stopped to see what nonsense was being spewed out. The girl interviewing him actually asked him if he thought the parents should bare any responsibility, and his defense was that the game companies, like cigarette companies, target underage kids for violent games. This apparently makes the parents think that there is nothing wrong with a 14 year old playing an M rated game for hours on end. She then asked him why the stores allow the game to be sold to 14 year olds, and he pulled a stat completely out of his ass that 43% of the time, the store doesn't ask for ID or check the age. He claims there is no law against selling an M game to a minor, so the stores don't care. The guy is a moron, has some hard-on for trying to take down the game industry, and will fail miserably. He needs his law license revoked before he starts more frivolous lawsuits. The only laws broken are those that happened during the murders, so the only people who should be sued are the shooters, or in this case his leagal guardians.
How is it even dropping the price? How can you drop the price on something not even on the market yet? If it was on the market, it must have only been for a day and a half. It is the same with the so called PS3 price drop. It isn't dropping the price, it is lowering the initial starting point.
"Everyone should have a battery powered radio receiver. Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Flooding, Volcanos (like Mt. St. Helens) happen, and you need a way to receive emergency information about which way to run."
Fuck running, i'm stealing a Hummer H1 with a radio and killing 2 birds with one stone (and anyone who won't move out of my way)!
No shit. God forbid they should actually patch their stuff when they have a patch available. Last I checked, security wasn't supposed to happen at intervals, it is continually evolving.
Isn't that how a lot of us got our surnames anyway? "smith" comes from a family of blacksmiths, "baker" comes from a baker, etc. What was once will be again, I guess. I'm not saying I think it would be a good thing, but it isn't new.
As a side note, "Bush" I believe comes from the long history of stupid twats in his family.
the headline implies they've found the location in the brain where it happens, but then they say "it seems to be the frontal lobe". Ok, that's a very large section of the brain, and it doesn't even sound like they are 100% sure. How does a "we think we have an idea" story make it to the front page (repeatedly)?
"...wait for Vista SP2 before you make up your mind. That's when all the bugs will be worked out..."
Um, XP SP2 sure has some bugs in it, or else why would I have to download 75MB of files every patch tuesday MS has? There will never be a MS product EVER that has all the bugs worked out (I'm not saying that any product is 100% bug free, that is nearly impossible). If there was, what reason would people have to upgrade? They have been touting each version of Windows as "the most secure windows ever!" which when you look at every other OS on the planet isn't really saying much. To quote "Tommy Boy", "I can take a shit in a box and slap a guarantee on it, but all that means is you have one guaranteed piece of shit." (pardon if I butchered it a bit). Vista will turn out to be a bit better than XP for most people, in that new car kind of way that anything different is usually better. Or like when you're in a room full of roses for a while, get used to the smell of roses and don't smell them. Then you fart, and it clears away again to reveal the sweet smell of roses that had once disappeared. Yes, Vista is that fart that will make everything smell better once it dissipates. Or something:)
I don't get it... won't the plane explode equally well if the explosive is in the hold vs. carry-on? What difference does it make forcing everything to be checked in the hold? If they are sophistocated enough to have reactionary chemical explosives, would it be any harder for them to produce a container where the seal between the chemicals dissolves or degrades at a set time period? This is fucking retarded. Planes are no harder to bring down now than they were 20 years ago. All this does is give people who don't know better a warm fuzzy perception that something is being done. What's next, no clothing on planes, because someone could hide something in their undies? Full cavity searches for every passenger? There is, and always has been, more chance of a plane going down due to mechanical fatigue or pilot error than any terrorist plot. So much for over-seas travel.
Actually, they did play on her "maternal instincts" a bit in super metroid, when she didn't kill the metroid and took it back with her. She could have, but didn't because it was just a baby and had bonded with her.

Yes, in the original metroid game, after you beat it, she takes off her helmet. There may have been something in the intro of it showing her without the helmet too, and there was a way you could play the game with her not wearing her suit at all (it was 20 years ago, i forget the details... might have been winning the game without dying or something... also there was a game genie code to enable this with no work). So, in other words, you do not speak for everyone:)
60 mph is about 100 km/h, or 27m/s. G is 9.8 m/s. So 0-60 in 3 sec is about 1G. Street tires don't do that.
It is 0-62PMH (100KPH) in 4.0 seconds. Why do you think this is unreasonable? The Bugatti Veyron does 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, and the Corvette Z06 does it in 3.7 (on street tires). There are several cars that can pull well over 1G on the skidpad (Lotus Elise, Nissan Skyline GT-R, Porsche 911... I could go on), why should forward acceleration be an exception? I'd think the way tires are designed, they'd be able to handle more straight-line force than the lateral force in cornering. Where are you getting your claim from?
I'm wondering if they are counting unique page loads, or unique visitors. The fact that people reload the poorly rendered pages so often, or get timeouts while loading stuff could skew that result. If i put a meta refresh tag in my page, I could similarly skew results if it is just counting page loads.
I'd venture to guess that we're on the verge of world war 3 with north korea. You know, the one who claims to have WMDs, who is firing missiles towards Hawaii, and threatens people if they just look at him funny. Oh, he also kills every twin born in his country because a psychic told him that a twin would kill him. Saddam is practically a moron in a bunny suit compared to this guy, but with him, we are determined to try to let sanctions work. A guy who says he has no WMD, who only has real issues with countries next door, shit, let's invade and bring him to trial. Oh yeah, north korea doesn't have oil. Nevermind.
Not only did you not RTFM, you didn't even read the fucking summary... it was a valid PayPal site with elements from a different site that recorded what you did on the legit site.

"What happens 6 miles down the road after you run out of fuel?"
That's still 5.5 more miles than I would have gotten running!

Your post is useless without a link :)
I know it's an entry level car, but c'mon - it's supposed to be German engineering! I guess the Germans don't like music?
You're talking about a country that worships Hasselhoff's music, so they are clearly tone deaf. I hope it was a rhetorical question...

And javascript comes from ECMAScript... which is an open standard.

Do they offer crash courses? Do all the windows have blue screens? Does every student get a clippy to help with their homework?
Ok, i'm done.
Um, thanks?

Why are you running as root? Is "users running as root" in the list of annoyances?
Or just use windizupdate.com if you use firefox. Nice way to admit to the world that you're using a pirated copy though, bud. :)
