That lady was crazy, and misunderstood how human society works. We effect everyone, and everyone effects us, you can't shut yourself in a box and pretend you're alone.
I wonder if it's time for phones to say like 'please type the following numbers before your call is forwarded: 34856'. That way automated calls can be screened so you only get actual humans.
My parents never did, but they didn't grow up with electronics anyway.
It's more interesting to consider those that did.
It's sad to see a parent just ignore his kid while his kid's in a game. You could be bonding with him, and suddenly you are working on something meaningful. Then he might actually want to spend time with you outside the game world.
side point: If anything in life can be considered meaningful outside of what we think of ourselves. A hobby is a hobby really. You could knit a sweater, but does having something tangible add value? I'm not so sure other than the ability to remind yourself of your accomplishment. If I beat a game, and the data is lost, I still accomplished something to my mind. Everything turns to dust, even Ozymandias' splendor. There's value in touching humanity, but also in peaceful and happy solitude, so I don't think you can scorn either one.
They love, they share; They love and share and care; Love and share! Share and care! The Itchy and Scratchy Show!
Scratchy: "Lemonade?" Itchy: "Please." Scratchy: "I made it just for you." Itchy: "You are my best friend. Mmm. This really hits the spot." Scratchy: "Doesn't it though?" Itchy: "You make really good lemonade, Scratchy." Scratchy: "Thank you, Itchy."
I'm fixed my PS2 several times when it's stopped reading discs thanks to online guides.
Bought the thing used in 2003 for under 100 bucks and she's still holding together thanks to the great fix-it communities. (And I'm generally horrible at hardware)
If you were going to finish your time machine then you would have your teleporter finished already, so we can presume that you are either too lazy to finish your time machine or by the time you do you won't be upset about this anymore. You probably went to the Jurassic period and got stomped on by a mammoth or some other large creature so one day your bones will confuse archaeologists.
Heh, I own like 5 dvds my roommate flat out kept from blockbuster (he probably never went back or something) and then left in the apartment when he moved.
Don't you see, it *is* all a joke. The media and the politicians in real life are what make a mockery of our country, and he's just trying to make it visible by acting like them.
He's our generation's Andy Kaufman. If you get him he's a mastermind, and if you don't well, I feel sorry for you.
I think this is fascinating, and I hope Colbert continues to see how far he can go. It's great that he is testing our democratic process, and bringing in his fans into how the system works.
Perhaps he can get on a third-party primary? As an independent? How hard is it to start your own party? Is running as a write-in the best option?
But sequences are useless in roulette because the results of one test do not affect the next. My chances of winning by picking black, red, black, red are just as poor as picking black, black, black, black.
My bad. My friend and I have a competition to see how many times we steal this one laptop from each other. Everytime he goes to the bathroom I grab it from his cubicle...that's probably throwing the numbers off.

This is because society shifts to the left every few decades, people don't change their ideals.
Being a fan Elvis is like liking being a fan of the Atari.
Wouldn't be as popular today but deserves respect for what it did in it's day because everyone's standing on the shoulders of giants.
Man: Every once and a while we dump a big piece of ice in the ocean, solving our problems once and for all.
Girl: But...
Man: ONCE AND FOR ALL!

The Habbo admins/GMs/whatever can recreate the furniture for free! (I should hope so) So nothing is lost!
If there's an issue with people hacking the game, deal with it in terms of hacking, not 'theft'.

Wow, I've honestly never heard of any of that stuff, like ever. Poppies? Wow. Grew up in New England btw.
CENTURION: What's this, then? 'Romanes Eunt Domus'? 'People called Romanes they go the house'?
BRIAN: It-- it says, 'Romans, go home'.
CENTURION: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Roman'? Come on!
BRIAN: Aah!
CENTURION: Come on!
BRIAN: 'R-- Romanus'?
CENTURION: Goes like...?
BRIAN: 'Annus'?
CENTURION: Vocative plural of 'annus' is...?
BRIAN: Eh. 'Anni'?
CENTURION: 'Romani'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'?
BRIAN: 'Go'. Let--
CENTURION: Conjugate the verb 'to go'.
BRIAN: Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'.
CENTURION: So 'eunt' is...?
BRIAN: Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'.
CENTURION: But 'Romans, go home' is an order, so you must use the...?
BRIAN: The... imperative!
CENTURION: Which is...?
BRIAN: Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'!
CENTURION: How many Romans?
BRIAN: Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'.
CENTURION: 'Ite'.
BRIAN: Ah. Eh.
CENTURION: 'Domus'?
BRIAN: Eh.
CENTURION: Nominative?
BRIAN: Oh.
CENTURION: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?
BRIAN: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!
CENTURION: Except that 'domus' takes the...?
BRIAN: The locative, sir!
CENTURION: Which is...?!
BRIAN: 'Domum'.
CENTURION: 'Domum'.
BRIAN: Aaah! Ah.
CENTURION: 'Um'. Understand?
BRIAN: Yes, sir.
CENTURION: Now, write it out a hundred times.
BRIAN: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Caesar, sir.
CENTURION: Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
And make sure you butter that bacon! And bacon that sausage!

Check out BattleMaster
It's kind of a mmorpg web-based feudalism simulator.

An X-Wing/TIE Fighter MMO is the holy grail of gaming.
The trick would be to concentrate on stable connections so you don't get 2 seconds of no user input and you die for reasonable specs.
But I'd spend a lot of money to ensure I had the best connection and cpu speed for such a game, and a lot for the game itself.
So much potential *drools*. I'd totally be like the chick in Indiana Jones and fall in the crevasse over this game.

Man, my class is so underpowered!!! :(
Johnny Rico: I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill 'em all!
I've got a good feeling about it!
Um, what are you talking about? Can you link to a photo? I log in daily in firefox and haven't seen anything.
