halogen? I'm looking at installing dozens of recessed halogen lamps in my home in the next few months. I plan on flipping the home, but I wonder if something like this will cause problems for those in the future. The bulb socket will only accept a halogen bulb. If they are no longer sold because of envromental reasons, the lights become useless and would have to be removed.
i was recently shopping in las vegas at a well known men's shirt designer's boutique. i was promptly asked if i needed any assistance and gave the ol "just browsing, thanks".
the man proceded to watch my every move. i don't believe he was ever more than 3 feet from my position. i looked over at my girlfriend and she gave me a huge, silent "WTF?!". the only reason he ever left me alone was because another shopper came in and he started stalking him.
only once before in my life have i been treated like a criminal as soon as i entered the store, and that time before i left without any heistation. give me some respect, please!
there's a wonderful documentary on cane toads that i watched a few months ago.
it shows how some of the austrailians came to accept the invasion, while others would steer towards the toads to see how many they could squash on the way to work. it was a little disturbing to see 7 pop in your face...
reading that article really makes you respect the dedication that some people have for a dream. i mean, 11 years of insane bubble making, constant rejection from the toy companies, and an undaunting, seemingly impossible task to make a dye the DISAPPEARS after a few minutes...i need to do something with my life, even if it is as "silly" as colored bubbles. props to this guy, well done man!
This release has convinced me to purchase a PSP. I don't want to hack the commercial games...I could care less of those. I just want a portable movie/nes/snes/mame box! Come tomorrow I will be a PSP owner.
What's interesting is that the word for geek or nerd in Japanese is "otaku" which is a spin off of the word "taku" which means "home". so in other words, otaku are those who stay at home all the time geekin' out; basement or not!
I have a Scion XB that was in an accident. After getting the entire front end repaired, I had it back on the road and while driving on the 805 freeway here in San Diego, the "traction control system" started to freak out. After a few moments it decided to take over my steering and literally ran me off the road. I couldn't believe that my car had that much control over the steering.
It was later found out that the sensor on the right wheel was malfunctioning and it was replaced. Ever since then I've been very nervous of computers in cars having "control" of the drive.
I can still play my legally purchased copy of Quake and even Half-Life, but I know 10 years from now I most likely won't be able to go back and replay HL2
i know this is going to take some getting used to, but for the last time, YOU CAN PLAY HL2 IN OFFLINE MODE!!!!
more seriously though, what about things like financial education? i know maybe not for 4th graders, but at least in our junior and high schools. home economics taught me how to so a pillow, but not how to balance a checkbook or use a credit card responsibly (not that i have problems, the only debt i have is mortgage). so many young adults are thrown into financial problems without a clue on how to manage their money
it's a shame we don't spend the money in public education on something like this.
what's the read time on the bluray discs? the PS2 load times were atrocious enough. i don't want to feel like i'm back on my c64 where you had to go make a sandwich while waiting for your game to load.

Could be frustrating for those in the future.

that's funny. jb.hl.com _does_ take me to a link farm.
does this count for the undead? there are ways around this stuff. :)
sounds a lot like flash to me.

everyone thinks they know everything, as long as they are behind a computer. i just scanned the old article and ran across this!
don't forget the article linked by penny-arcade as well. mr. thompson is not winning the hearts of anyone anymore...
you are bitter and need to take a vacation. be gone!
"we prefer hd-dvd to blu-ray in terms of the flexibility it offers to different applications as well as the infrastructure costs to the market."
translation: "why the fuck would we use the same format as sony?!"

Ay! Every time I see these articles I say to myself, "It's a good thing I don't bank with "...
and so, it comes to this day where I am a Californian with a Visa card and a MasterCard and I sigh deeply. Is there no escape?!
rich nerds are now in.

I think that TUBA is already taken.

i'm sorry, but this just tore a hole through my brain:
