I've driven while drunk which is only a little bit more responsible than your actions.
I saw the headline for that study recently. I don't think it applies in this situation - he said that he drives between 3 counties. In most states, that would be a LOT of straight-stretch uninterrupted driving. Not much thinking required, and the only thing to injure would be a stray deer or birro. Using a cellphone wouldn't affect his ability to drive in a straight line (not as much as a drunken person, at least), and he'd be able to recover his reflexes fairly quickly if need be. UNlike, say, a drunken driver - who has to wait until the intoxication passes from his system to get back up to a proper level of comprehension and reflexive response.
So, I'm just saying that I find your comment to be inaccurate - it, in my opinion, is *worse* to drink and drive than to use a wireless headset while driving. Now, you and I can both agree that both are dumb things to do, but my own position is that drunkenness is a recipe for disaster, whereas cellphone use at least stands a chance of not being as serious.
I must be the only person who misread it as "DirectX 1.0", like we were going to get some sort of historical retrospective from The Man Himself, Alex St John, on the travesty that was 1.0:)
For myself, one of these UBC cars would get me *almost* a round trip to Rockglen... maybe about 200km short on the return trip. That's only according to google maps, though, which is notoriously unreliable for me. Heh.:) 1 day, 11 hours of driving, apparently.
*offtopic* Have you ever been to Rockglen? One of their residents (Tyler Lewis) is on Canadian Idol. Town of like 430 people, and he made it to the top 22. Freakyneat.
Heheh, when I finally get around to it, www.screenshots.ca will provide user-contributed screenshot galleries (With tags). I guess I'd better get started on coding that:)
I've noticed that at least one of the supposed links are dead. As for how they got the media to buy in...
The wikipedia article was created in Feb of 2005. It contained a one-sentence summary and a link to the website. The website is registered by a dns proxy company, so there's no DNS contact information. Ooh, another bizarre coincidence - the supposed "national news broadcast" has been postponed until "june or july"; release date of the movie is July 7th. When looking at it in a paranoid mindset, lots of things on the site are curious. Including the DISTINCT lack of decent contact information. I've found only a few email addresses so far. Ironically, the only person whose domain I've been able to nail down as non-anonymous is the supposed webmaster. And his site is cheesily amusing in its own right.:)

... Al-Queda was funded (and TRAINED) by the CIA ... but you probably know that already.
Netiher was the post you just replied to! IRA and Basque folks are external to the US, as are/were November 17 and a host of other "fun" groups.
You mean Kim Dong Il. :)

(you know, as in "Taepodong-2"
I missed it because I was at work :( So sad. Ah well - I did feel the tiny earthquake that occured two hours later, that was neat. :)
Hey jeremy! Long time no see! Are you still flexing your muscle?
I wonder - if it had said "i love pie." and had a countdown timer, would people have had the same reaction? :)

I love the smell of Slurm in the morning - it smells like ... walrus!
Way to bring it back on topic :)

Perhaps not, but I'd like to see you try! :)
By your logic, Windows Millennium Edition is actually more secure than all other versions of Windows.
Combined.
"I know! Let's name him Taurus Balrog!!"
..."
.. er .."
:)
"No honey, that's too cruel
"Okay
And there you have it. Taurus Balrog would be a cool name, though
If you have to manually initiate it, it's a trojan, not a worm.
No they don't. The most they can prove is that God exists and doesn't exist at the same time. Sort of a Schroedinger's Deity situation.
We can't conclusively disprove the existence of God, because there isn't a Babelfish-bearing planet in this sector of space (websites don't count).
Kind of like "Moose", which stems from Canadian Latin ... ;-)

You know, there's already a (possibly) hypoallergenic breed of cat from some russian genetic line ... they're cute, too.
Well, they do say that you should fight fire with fire ...
Maybe it's a viral marketing gag for the upcoming movie based on the book. ;-)
Patents Shmatents.
My god, you're like a specially trained secret agent or something!
:)
But thanks for the link
And which marketing company do you work for, again?

The Scanner Darkly had its recent release date, September 16th, pushed back to some time in March, 2006." - as you can see, it's been bumped around a fair amount.
