One of the first financial press conferences before (after?) the google IPO was by their CFO.. Chielf Food Officer, back in February 2005. Google was proud of announcing the number of eggs they were cooking each day for their employees. Wall Street was pissed by their lack of respect.
They had a formal presentation by their chef but not their chief financial officer,” said Mark S. Mahaney, an analyst with American Technology Research. “I have never been to an investor day where the C.F.O. didn’t speak.” Indeed, Google’s top chef, Charlie Ayers, spoke to the assembled analysts and investors about the lunch he had prepared, featuring entrees like grilled pork tenderloin. The chief financial officer, George Reyes, moderated the presentation and answered a few questions, but did not give a formal talk.
Also note that Shaw Direct (Formerly Starchoice) uses Annik K2 for half of its channels.
As of 2010, Shaw Direct had over 900,000 subscribers.[1] It broadcasts on Ku band from two communications satellites, Anik F1R at 107.3W and Anik F2 at 111.1W
People really hope they have a solution before the first game of the season, which is tonight. They will lose many subscribers due to this, no doubt about it.

I'm very far from not tolerating Americans. I consider myself as one, and having worked at IBM for more than 8 years, most of my customers were from the US.

It does. There's a theory the nazis used the reverse symbol to "use" the "accumulated" power of it. Just like an inversed cross is as strong a symbol as the cross is.
Just like monopoly money is designed to look and feel like real money, it's not. It's a game device. As long as some of the functions are preserved, it served its role. That BFG 9000 sure dominated.

Very funny. Does seem inspired by the get in line Game at PAX and PAX East. (He was at pax east last weekend) While waiting in line, a host types text on a green screen type of term and asks questions to the crowd and launches interactive games, playable through txt'ing.

I want to include my remote car starter in a Sonic Screwdriver. Any suggestion? Maybe there is a "slim" version of universal remote car starters, or something with a smaller form factor?
It would be on topic if the plastic frog was also doing mosaics crafting. I remember the little green fellow from an argumentation course, so I added him. He wasn't the brightest but he sur knew how to jump to conclusions. Duckie, on the other hand, kept flunking it.
A couple of years or so ago I was a guest on Start The Week, and I was authoritatively informed by a very distinguished journalist that the whole Internet thing was just a silly fad like ham radio in the fifties, and that if I thought any different I was really a bit naïve. It is a very British trait – natural, perhaps, for a country which has lost an empire and found Mr Blobby – to be so suspicious of change. (...) I suppose earlier generations had to sit through all this huffing and puffing with the invention of television, the phone, cinema, radio, the car, the bicycle, printing, the wheel and so on, but you would think we would learn the way these things work, which is this: 1) everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; 2) anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; 3) anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it until it’s been around for about ten years when it gradually turns out to be alright really. Apply this list to movies, rock music, word processors and mobile phones to work out how old you are.

It actually looks like a pipboy from Fallout. He can even use it as a flashlight!
Now he needs a Geiger counter app..
I've been wanting to build one for a few years, and with a cheap ipod touch, it's feasible.

Cellphones, spaceships and submarines were once fiction, too!
PCs aren't going anywhere and the idiot who made the original comment about this is some moron who has his head in the cloud a bit too much.
*squint* .. I see what you did there..

I've just received my notice. What took time was the translation/localization to french, probably.
It's still unacceptable, but at least I received it.

Somehow, on topic!
It does.

When?
Please list successful innovations and dates. I'm really curious.
There are several arcade and console restoration and conservation groups.

..in graphical form. Can't go wrong with PI.
You could also go with euler's identity, e^(iPi)+1=0
Still. Pi.. hmmmmmhmhmhmmm.. pie.. *drool*

Doug Adams wrote about it ten years ago, and it still applies.
