Bonus points to the first person who goes through the millimeter wave scanner at the airport and: -wears the biggest strap-on possible -writes "fuck you", etc. in metallic-fleck paint across their chest -gets a call from a TSA screener after writing their phone number on their private parts -sends a screener running screaming from the room without doing anything in particular other than going through the scanner
If your ex wrecks your car into a tree using an old copy of your key, and then sicks the cops on you claiming DUI via the tree's owner, you can sue the cops for not figuring out that you didn't do it.
Let me just say, thanks NASA for the astronaut helmet cams! That footage lets me live out my astronaut fantasies without all the space-induced nausea and military training.
Aren't most of the games that really stir controversy just in it for the short-term popularity? Thus, can't we expect to see games come out "too soon" that are "too violent", only to just fade away since the actual game itself just isn't that great?
A strong history exists of controversial games with good gameplay that have outlasted their detractors by a long shot: Street Fighter Wolfenstein 3D Mortal Kombat Doom GTA etc.
Shakespeare was talking about the exact opposite scenario. The problem with trademarks using the rose quote is: someone can take a pile of crap, spray paint it red and call it a rose. In other words, "Anything else called a rose probably doesn't smell a damned thing like a rose."
As they mention in the summary, there's this button I can push, wait 30 seconds, and then the computer is fixed. There sure is a lot of work left in eliminating that 30 second wait for the fix!
Could this be the executive version summary: They just took this relatively strong 20-question form at http://ud4wa.com/ and tried unsuccessfully to build a book around it?
Unlike the rest of us, if the president can't make a call on his BB, there are a handful of high-security folks around that can make the call for him on some other device.
Idiot programmers make the same idiot mistakes regardless of what language they speak. I'd much rather work with a brilliant, non-English speaker who can read and understand code (i.e. my code or anyone else's) vs. an English speaker that can't read code and is perpetually inserting screw-ups that I have to go in and mop up later.

First, you have to get rid of the idea that writing a great game has anything to do with any genre, graphics, etc. 'Mass Effect' and 'the Black Isle' are decent, but they are not "great games". An example of a great game is Tetris. The income of Tetris and its various incarnations eclipse pretty much any other game, and yet its simplicity is one of its most appealing characteristics.
Tetris has true mass appeal... and you only need to write one game with that attribute to be set for life, be it extremely complex, or quite plain in the original implementation.
If you stopped being a nerd at age 13, you are in no way qualified to comment on what it is like to be a nerd especially since, as any of us can tell you, the vast majority of the crap you will take in your life for being a nerd is in high school.
Sure, it's imaginable, but the human brain is a whole lot more complicated than anything we've built so far. Once we have a 100 billion node computer cluster with ~7000 network cards per node, then we might see something interesting resembling recognizable consciousness/soul activity. Simulations will never approach the genius of inspiration or the variety of activities that a real brain can do.
That's nothing, I have a millenium falcon in my basement, but as it turns out, the real thing is plastic and only a few feet in diameter. It also only goes about 50 mph, and that's if you throw it at 50 mph.
Everyone knows there are a few ways to cut a line that work every time: 1) be in a wheelchair, 2) be carrying a screaming baby, 3) have "credentials" of some kind.
So if you have a press pass and a screaming baby and you're in a wheelchair, in theory you should be able to cut the restroom line in the last game of the world series, Boston at NYY, wearing a Boston hat, without getting a second look.

So it'll be what, the next 8 episodes of Family Guy where the creepy old guy has one of these?

My other car is a ballute.
Oh yeah? well my new cadillac is a ballute de ville.
yo momma's so fat, when she jumps out of an airplane, she has to use a ballute.
I would write more, but my computer's about to crash, so I have to reballute.

I heard that if you email someone a scan of a printout of a screenshot of the command-line interface, their computer asplodes.
1. Everything's "legal" in China, right?
2. If it's on the Internet in China, it's probably on the Internet everywhere else, right?
3. And the labels are going along with this...why?

Don't worry, in any adult theater, there's a strict "jacket off" policy.

Livermore has some seriously big lasers, including a 750 Terawatt number that creates tiny, short-lived "sun's". Don't point that one in your eye!

I doubt it will help hear over a ghetto blaster car stereo. I still think more blinky lights, lasers, searchlights, etc. are a better option.

Just how often do particles go "through the side of the beam pipe"? That sounds ... bad.
