Reason: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING.
I dunno if its more refined nowadays, but Nobels dynamite was originally some kind of earth and/or clay mixtuere soaked with nitroglycerin. The dirt stabalized it so it wasn't so volitile and required a cap to be detonated. IIRC Nobel discovered this after spilling some nitroglycerin on the ground or something like that. But you are correct gunpowder is quite different chemically from TNT, dont know about explosive power(is there a SU for that?) but i think its safe to assume TNT has more explosive power, otherwise originaly the miners would have been blasting with gunpowder, not nitro.
Yes, but they could follow the trail then at least. They may not have busted Wally World, but they probably came down on the sub-contractor or whoever down the line was responsible. Follow the money, find whos responsible, fine the hell out of em.
I'm not gonna argue with you that RealOne Player is shitware, i'll wholy agree with you there. Its not that bad though, you can turn off most of the real annoying stuff within the program and its easy enough to change the Evntsvc and RNdal bits from *.exe to *.old without affecting the player.
I bet the RIAA is going to blame more lost cd sales on legal music downloads now, oh wait, they'd be right! Maybe now they'll admit their mistakes and crawl back to their shiney office park or whatever with their tails between their legs and leave us along.
How interchangable are the label programs? I bought the memorex kit, and also bought some jewel case inserts with it. The case inserts were memorex too, so i could use the same program(eXpressit) to do the inserts and the labels. The cd labeling is nice, but i wonder if i could youse other companys or generic label sheets with the same software. Are all cd label sheets layed out pretty much the same way? The only friend i know of who has one also has memorex, as does my boss here at work.
Altria is Phillip Morris... or was, Phillip Morris International changed its name to Altria. Altria owns both Phillip Morris USA (the tobacco company), and Kraft Foods.
Definitly neckstrain, i've never had any hand or wrist problems associated with gaming, but i've hurt my neck before when picking up a new game. Back in the early days of decent 3d games i remember always freaking out and trying to look around, or turning my head with whatever i was piloting and really straining my neck. My earliest memory of this was in 5th grade at my friends house playing Mechwarrior II and then GBL. That was bad, but Descent was worse, i couldn't play that without flipping my head around like i was having spasms. Another game i remember this with, to a lesser extent was Terminal Velocity. It was never problem for me with FPSs though. I havn't noticed it in years, so maybe its just a n00b g4m3r problem.
I remember hearing about this 8 years ago, but then they put out that piece of shit that was Alien Resurrection. Somehow that movie sucked despite being done by one of my favorite directors, Jean-Pierre Jeunet (City of the Lost Children, Delicatessen, Amelie) and the presence of Winona. Glad to see this is finally being made. Hopefully it'll be as good as Alien and Aliens or Predator and Predator II and not suck like Alien or Alien Resurrection.
Not linux i dont think, but a MacOS look-alike running on beige boxes. Probably the fullscreen flash thing someone mentioned earlier. MacOS bars, but an hourglass and not a watch while waiting for the file to copy, and he was definitly playing the same version of tetris i had on my old Win 3.1 box in an earlier scene.
Sounds a lot like WMSE the college station here in town, good music, great variety(they actually have 3 hour shows playing completly different music from the last, liek radio used to be), also you can listen online and they have their archives online. I download and burn some of the morning and afternoon shows, ussually Melissas show and Buzz's Garage(in class then) and listen to them during the blues drive or other shows i'm less enthusiastic about.
And cases like this are why i have the RIAAs anti piracy hotline programmed into my phone. I jokingly theaten to call it on my friends, but will call it when people blast shitty music out of their car windows.:p
Otherwise i can see burn in being a problem, i don't know how much they've solved that problem, also plasma TVs are(maybe now were?) relativly short lived, and i think leaving it on 24/7 would be a bad idea. This seems like it would be better suited for a display technology that only requires current to change state, electronic inks are like this, and i'm not sure, someone verify or correct me, but OLEDs are too.

Hmm, McDonalds vs. Starbucks. This should be interesting, but i think no matter what the outcome somone will get scalded...

Just to point out, it was Voayger 6 in ST:TMP, and the story was it fell through a black hole, so who knows what sorta gunk got stuck on it in there.
It was Pioneer 10 that the klingons destroyed at the begining of the star trek movie who's name shall not be spoken...

Thats why you come back when its dark with a bat or crowbar. :p
MTV already has tons of videos avalible on their site, realplayer and not for download, but still...
Yeah, that was blatant, but that whole idea was from some old movie. Anything that you can think of has already been thought of.

Ahh, damn slashdot, i did mean the third one, but i had it as Alien^3, which it deleted from my post.

It may not be the logo, but that'd still glide in the game of life, it'd just head in a (-, -) direction instead of (+, -).

But it functions as a phone, so which side do you hold to your head, and does it look more or less retarded than talking on an n-gage?

$500 seems insanly over-priced for this sort of thing. Most dvd players i know of will play picture discs burnded with jpgs, how is this better?
