    *head explodes*

  2. Re:Aspect Ratio and Even Lighting on Digital Cameras vs Scanners for OCR? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about just typing your notes up each day? That way you will be re-reading them, allowing them another chance to sink in, you'll be able to spot if there is anything in them that you don't understand and your notes will be searchable.

  3. Re:Too bad... on RTS Halo Mod Stopped by Microsoft · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow...first 7-digit UID that I have seen!

  6. Re:one would think? on Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones · · Score: 1

    ignoring most of that, which was a rant anyways, but you want tough? I have a Sony Ericsson T616 which has fallen out of my chest pocket (keep it there at work) many times as I bend over to lift something, and still keeps ticking, although with a few small dents on the corners. This is why I will never get a clamshell.

    beer + typing never mix

    and I might of missed something that they cought but can't you just pick up a prostitute, have sex with them, then they get out of the car and walk away and you can go on about your life? is there a part in the game I missed where they FORCE you to kill the hookers?
    there's no part where they force you to kill the hookers, but if you want your money back then you do what you gotta do...get out of the car, wait for them to get out and use your baseball bat to "get your money back"

  22. Re:is google trying to take over the world... on Google Transit Now In Beta · · Score: 1

    I live in the same city as you, and I hate the "Tous Azimuts" trip planner on the STM site. I would love if Google incorporated it into their site, especially if they also added other local transit agencies so it would be easier to plan journeys to neighbouring cities, like Laval or Longueil.

  23. Re:Immediate Access on Internet is Killing the Newspaper · · Score: 1

    I still read the newspaper daily, mostly for free at cafes etc, sometimes I buy it. I read it because it's relevant to me for the local stories (and I do live in a major city) and for the comics. All my favorite comics on one convenient page. Also love the crosswords.
