I still have my client connect to my ICQ account out of habit. I miss the good old days of ICQ when you could leave the "talk to a random person" feature on.
And then there's teachers that put books on the courselist they never use. I had courses where I bought not only the textbook, but a workbook and the solutions manual. (This was Freshman year, after that I realized I didn't need these extra books).
How is it harder to install memory on a laptop versus a desktop? It's usually right under a door on the back of the laptop. With a desktop you have to reach down into the guts of the machine, often pushing cables out of the way.
Or skip the plugins, and you can add whichever search keywords you want to work right in the addressbar. (Right click on a search box and select "Add a keyword for this search. Opera has a similar function) Saves you from having an extra input box in your toolbar.
The Summary might bother to mention that this is for using the wi-fi if you run linux on your playstation.
I was at first a little shocked that something that should be as simple as turning on the wi-fi requires a slashdot-worthy article. I'd expected Sony could shine the UI up enough to make it easy. But since this is for a linux environment that I guess is still a work in progress, I guess less polish is acceptable
There were some clueless parents who were offended. But they probably didn't understand that you had to mod the game to get the content. In a ny times article on the subject one mother says "I'm aware that there is killing in the game," Ms. Stanhouse said in the deposition. "I wasn't aware of the stealing." She wasn't aware there was stealing in a game called "Grand THEFT Auto"
The prop is mounted at its center, so the blades extend 150 feet above the center, and 150 feet below the center. The blades stay 100 feet above the water.
Umm... yeah, I do. And I lived in Delaware for 4 years during college. But you've got the conspiracy all wrong. They don't want you to notice Delaware, or what's going on there.
There are already enough ads on the splash screens. It seems like every game I get lately has 5 different splash screens, each advetising a different layer of the producer's structure before I get to play.
I get mixed feelings about product placement, on the one hand it can make things more realistic for there to be real brands around. I can easily see it getting too intrusive, though. And you'll end up with every soda being a coke (no pepsi anywhere).
I like what City of Heroes did. As well as making up names for businesses around town (City of Gyros), there are ads playing off real products (Red Beast energy drink, InFront Steakhouse). I suppose since they remind me of actual products they could still be effective advertisements, but I don't feel like I'm being slapped in the face by them
And of course, product placement doesn't work for all genres. It's fine to have ads plastered all over the cars in our NASCAR racing game, but would look really bad to be suiting your dwarf warrior up with Armor-All brand heavy platemail, and Mountain-Dew superior mana potions.
I've often typed too quickly and ended up with.co . I don't know how many squatters are sitting on Colombia's TLD. I would suspect.con would see some value for typosquatters as well.
So if they were actually working their ass off through their whole academic career, they were just sitting on their laurels and didn't deserve a reward? (I was one of those high achievers prone to sit on my laurels and take it easy, but I knew my fair share of the other kind who were high achievers because they worked HARD and kept working) If you award only most improved, the person who starts with an A is out of luck since the best they can improve is a jump to A+, while D students have 3 whole grades they could potentially improve themselves by.
My experience with "gifted education" in elementary school was just an excuse to get out of my regular classes for a bit each week and goof off. I got my first exposure to programming there (BASIC on the TI!), and we were supposed to be doing some independent study on topics that interested us but there was no pressure to get anything done and really it was just better than wasting time in "reading" class.
And there's always going to the store to rent yourself, or Movies on Demand through your Cable/Satellite provider. They're not the same thing, and may be more expensive/less conveniant, but if the NetFlix service loses too much of its value they're still viable options.
Removing the olive from my salad IS providing better service. What do I want with an olive in my salad? ewww. Don't touch my tomatoes, though. I don't care what they're infected with, I'm eating them.

Can I sue you when I get sunburn?

They're not going for orbital flight, just going up for 20 minutes and falling back down.
Depends on how hard you throw them out the back of the rocket.

That applies to the human eye as well.
No it doesn't. There have been plenty of stories about all the consoles that have no connection to Linux.

Wouldn't it be easier to turn on Gmail's imap support, connect outlook to it and copy all your mails across? You could even preserve your folders
You forget. No sales tax.

After they introduce copy protection, they'll have to listen to bugs from people running the cracked version.

I've got a nailgun, it should work better.
