I know that the ability to have rechargable batteries is out there, but I've always felt it was somewhat funny that while cordless and cellular phones typically run on batteries that you charge when they're not in use, the PDAs don't come with the same option by default. I wonder why this is, and if in the future that rechargable batteries will be the norm.
About 8-10 years ago the museum here in Louisville, KY had a huge room dedicated to old arcade games which you could read the history of and also play. The only ones I can remember off the top of my head are Pong and Frogger, but it was a really neat exhibit.
Too bad in the recent years they've dumbed down the museum to make it appeal to very little kids. Although one of the biggest draws was, and still is (I bet), the astronaut ice cream:)

"But the trivia question in The 138th Episode Spectacular said that the cash register read "NRA4EVER". What's going on here?
The trivia questions in The 138th Episode Spectacular are gags made to troll the audience, just like the images of Matt Groening, James L. Brooks, and Sam Simon in the episode are not what those people really look like. The cash register question is a gag referring to the people who have labeled the show as "the most liberal on television" by portraying it as having an ultra-conservative slant. "
I work for the Navy, and I'm not sure if this is just a Navy, DoD, or industry standard -- but we predict 1 man-hour per line of code. Of course when I first heard that I thought about how slow that was, but it makes more sense now (e.g. lifetime of the code, maintenance, training, reading, etc.).
Does anyone else work for a place that puts a price or predicts time per line of code? If so, I'd like to see how it compares to the Navy.

Considering that it had it's 21st birthday today, it probably won't be easy until later tonight.
You commie. Pacman is as American as apple pie! Oh... wait a sec...

Better to have airport delays than airplane crashes :/

No, it does not read "NRA4EVER".
