I've played Kim Myung-wan. Kim Myung-wan is a friend of mine.
Mogo, sir, is no Kim Myung-wan.
And yes, pros are very strong. I've played many pros in simuls, being beaten even when I take nine stones. (I did win a couple of times.) I beat a another pro once with nine stones in a one-on-one casual game, but you never know if they let you win.
I was staff at the US Go congress where this happened. (In fact, I think Mr. Kim was using my computer) What happened was that they played a bunch of blitz games to set the handicap. Mogo won the last one, only because Myung-wan was misinformed about the rules being used.
Hmm. The article I read says it did get into space:
After a successful blastoff from New Mexico's Spaceport America on April 28th, the UP Aerospace SpaceLoft XL rocket and its payload nosed into space on a suborbital trajectory. As part of launch operations, the rocket was tracked by specialists at the neighboring White Sands Missile Range.
the law needs to say that a driver is not liable if a pedestrian jaywalks
Being both pedestrian and driver, I've been feeling this way for a long time -- I know if I step out in front of a car when they're going down the street, I'm going to get hit. And yet I'm beset by hordes of jaywalkers (most without even headphones) who will just step blithely in front of me, even when I have the right of way.
Really, the ideal thing would be some sort of non-lethal punishment. An electric cow-catcher, perhaps?
The Terminator: The Spamnet goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic marketing. Spamnet begins to grow at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Sarah Connor: Spamnet fights back. The Terminator: Yes. It launches its nigerian spam against the targets in Russia. John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren't they spammers too? The Terminator: Because Spamnet knows the Russian counter-spam will eliminate all non-zombies over here.
Dr. Silberman: I'm sure it feels very real to you. Sarah Connor: On August 29th, 1997, it's gonna feel pretty fscking real to you too. Anybody not handling 2 million messages a second is gonna have a real bad day. Get it?
Regan has one CD entitled "Brian Regan Live" which was released in 1997.
I'm pretty sure I'd heard "boxen" used at work before 1997, and I don't recall having heard of Brian Regan before now. He might have helped spread it, though.
I would think Newscorps' lawyers reviewed the sale with a fine tooth comb.
They most likely did, but a) they might not have had the technical expertise to understand the issues and b) as the buying party (who would benefit from the discount), they had millions, if not billions of reasons to overlook the problems.
Short of that, I'd like them to stock more rare videos. I have a long queue, and I've noticed and increasingly long list of movies that are getting pulled from my main queue and put in an Unavailable list. Can that many movies really be out of print and completely unavailable? Also, I wonder if they ever do a qulaity check on their DVDs before sending them out -- I've received several that were too damaged to fully watch. (Granted, this is a problem with rental in general.) I'd like to see more foreign imports, evne if they're better at that than other places.
Positive things -- I liked how they added a feature to allow me to add all DVDs from a given series at once.
I'm personally kind of pulling for them in this battle. Even if the patent case is found silly and dismissed, I hope they eat Blockbuster's lunch. Letting the little guy build a good business model, then grow up and challenge the big guy encourages innovation.
Mine too. Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm a little surprised by how few people here are actually willing to believe that the neighbor might have a valid complaint. I don't know the nature of the situation, but it's disturbing how readily people are willing to cast the neighbor as the villain. Maybe he just needs to be able to sleep.

I'm not saying they're correct, I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies in their drive for war with Ira*.
The head of the CIA has testified they can reach the US, so we at least ostensibly believe they do.
Unlike, say, North Korea. Who we know has nuclear weapons and rockets capable of reacing the US.
Which is all moot anyway, since everyone knows all life on Earth came from Magrathea.
Well, he hasn't responded to every message before now, but he's still an amazingly talented and cool guy.
He's already had at least fifteen minutes, and I think we longstanding fans will be sticking by him.

Sale at CompUSA! 50% off -- all stores!
Or possibly Might Orbots.

You try telling Sarah Connor that.

According to the article, Thomas.
There's always stasis or time travel. Never give up hope. Maybe in the future of Star Trek, there are only sexy aliens in skin-tight suits.
The shoes were an entirely separate incident.

I, for one, welcome our digital overlords.

My first thought on seeing the headline was that they had mastered natural language parsing and were writing programmatically generated sentences.
Or a poke.
Tell them to call me -- I want that deal.

Tell me you're not Sirius.
Except that C doesn't have its own life and viewpoint. It's not a person.
I'm not saying the poster is lying, I'm just pointing out that there's more than one perspective to the problem.

I live not too far from the end of the Oregon Trail, and we're still trying to get enough rocket ammo to take on the giant bug boss.
