And given that the vast majority of driving that the vast majority of people seem to do is driving alone or with a single passenger in the car... it makes a lot more sense to move to motorcycles. They are also smaller, can park 3 in a normal parking space, can even carry your groceries home....
I think it makes a lot of sense for me to have a motorcycle for the warm months, and a car for when I need to carry larger items, more passengers, or there is snow on the ground. I have yet to find a need for a car bigger than my jetta.
Honestly, I think its disgusting that people drive around using SUVs, Minivans, and four by fours as their normal commuting vehicle when 90% of the time its just them.
Such a waste. Not to mention road hazard. Those vehicles do far more damage to anything they hit than a motorcycle or smaller car. They are a menace to everyone around them.
-Steve It's obvious your not married with kids and don't spend $150 a week on grocery. Don't worry you'll grow up.
I don't see a "Wired" solution being a great option for computer connections at the home anymore. I once envisioned running Cat-5e all over my house. But why??? When wireless N speeds are quite fantastic around 134 Mbit/s (at least that's what it tells me).
I suppose in a network of multiply computers, it might be really nice to have around the house.
Spongebob: Doesn't anybody know how to tie a knot? (lightning appears as well as the Flying Dutchman)
Flying Dutchman: Did somebody say knot?
Spongebob: (eyes grow large) I did.
Flying Dutchman: So, you wanna tie knots, do ya? Well, do ya?
Spongebob: Yes, please, Mr Flying Dutchman, sir.
Flying Dutchman: Then you've come to the right flying ghost, kid. You're looking at the first place winner in the fancy knottin' contest for the last 3,000 years!
Spongebob: Hooray! (floats up into the air and into a heart)
Flying Dutchman: (grabs Spongebob) You're gonna have to not do that. And stop staring at me with them big old eyes! (Spongebob's eyes shrink) Now, stand back and watch me be knotty. (laughs and pulls out a rope) Haha! Behold! (rope is in pretzel shape) The pretzel knot!
Spongebob: Ohh. (Flying Dutchman makes the rope into 2 diamonds)
Flying Dutchman: The double-diamond knot! (holds the rope, now in the shape of a square, in front of Spongebob) The square knot! (rope slithers over and squeezes Spongebob) The constrictor. (Grabs Spongebob and pulls him apart revealing a knot that looks like intestines) The gut knot! (Flying Dutchman makes a knot in the shape of a pillow) The pillow knot. (turns the knot over where Spongebob is sleeping. Then he makes the knot into a butterfly) The butterfly knot.
Spongebob: Ohh...
Flying Dutchman: Wait! There's more. (Spongebob takes out a pen and paper and his glasses) The monkey chain! (shows the rope as a chain) The monkey's fist! (shows the rope into a ball) The monkey! (shows the rope as a monkey)
Monkey: Ohh, ohh!
Flying Dutchman: This one here's a loop knot, otherwise known as the 'poop loop'. (pulls the rope)
Rope: Poooop!
Spongebob: (laughs) Those are great, Mr Flying Dutchman, sir! Now can you show me how to tie my shoes?
Flying Dutchman: (laughs) I don't know how to tie me shoes. I haven't worn shoes for over 5,000 years! (holds a sock with two blue stripes up) But sometimes I like to wear this little sock over me ghostly tail. (laughs as he flies off. Scene cuts to Spongebob crawling into his pineapple) No need to RTFA, I bet the Flying Duchman would know...we should ask him!!
I disagree. Back in mid-late 80's when I was able to go, Video games were just as popular as the tabletop games. The Ultima Series, Bards tale, Wizardy and a slew of others were always present at Gen-Con. It was the perfect place to target all the RPG'rs out there. Heck, you could get a STEAL on the auctions to boot! I suppose the presence wasn't as great, but the convention center wasn't as big as it is today either. I should know I live in Milwaukee....BRING IT BACK!!!!
I dont think anyone of those 2 are full of shit here. DVD piracy is not just about coping and burning DVD's, as the article talks about...It's also Rip-Upload-Share-Download-Watch. If you can watch it on your computer, why go buy it or go see it at a movie house?? Not going to the movie house is a huge part of the revenue loss. Ticket prices pay for the movie upfront costs...or at least you hope you do...DVD's are just revenue after you break even.
I'll tell you after years of raiding WOW's end game instances and farming mats for those raids, LOTRO is breath of fresh air.
I'm having the time of my life playing this game.
The deed systems is the right choice for all future MMOs. At least with this system you can achieve SOMETHING, beside endless days hoping for an epic drop. And with the epic quest line it gives you some kind of direction to go in.
Class makeup really emphasizes base class skills/spells, instead of traditional "Talents" like WOW. Meaning I can play my class the way I want to without to much concern what I use for traits (Talents). They are just an added bonuses. And they dont make or break you character, unlike WOW.
PVP or PVM play is a great idea. Whomever thought to put that in this game, instead of traditional PVP, should get a phat fucking bonus. No need to nerf or buff the base classes, nerf the monsters! PVE aspect of the game is safe!!! That is a HUGE problem with WOW. They didn't learn how to separate the PVP from the PVE....
And as too loot, they did a nice job emphasizing quest loot over dropped loot. Most quest loot is comparable, if not better, then loot from instances. This makes CASUALS able to enjoy all aspects of the game.
I think sometimes people need to realize here is that this game is ONLY 1 month old. Over time, LOTRO will improve!!
Dont be spoiled by WOW people, its had a nice run.

Wouldn't it be nice if computers could keep us completely entertained for 8 hours a day in the office?
I much rather come to work if I knew there was something interesting to do.
Regardless if the product is good or bad. The product defines what innovation is.
....For Permission!! Quite simple really....

I'd wager an underground modern BBS systems would start to popup again, if things get to far out of hand.
Say hello to dial-up all over again!!
Looks like I'll be waiting to buy my Mac Pro until later...
Until a version Office only works on Vista, there is no reason to upgrade from XP for businesses.
And thats only if the new Office is damm good!!
We won't be switching any time soon...I'll make sure of that.
Lets not forget with Logic 8, Apple has made the software affordable everyone. $199 for a Logic upgrade?? Wow!!! Fucking Fantastic!!!!
14 upgrades, 4 reformats and 2 archive and install. 0 problems.
Thats 10 G5's and 4 Mac Pro's with upgrades.
Thats 4 MacBook Pros reformats.
Thats 2 Powerbooks with archive and install.
You can mod me any way you like, but it wont change the success I've had with Leopard....Awesome.
How do you create something out of nothing?
Does "Nothing" exsist as a something?
Does "Nothing" have any scientific properties?
Just delay the move even more....Fuck tards.....
What!?!?!?
As a tech guy, iTunes works perfect for me. I open the program, I import my song, I click play. Da-da....
Who says we need to take the sample from blood? Wouldn't a skin cell or a hair sample work instead? Or how about spit?

Good luck getting pics from the dark side of the moon...Our bases will blow it up in a millisecond.
Are there any other reasons, besides that the software is free, to use Ubuntu over Mac OS X??
If so, please explain.
I'll have to put one right next to my supervisor, then.
Thanks for the tip!!

But meh..I still pay for my movies.

My wife tells me she can't feel the big 25.4 cm, but she can feel the big 10 inch.
I love how all this "FUD" tells how bad the product is or what's wrong with the device before any of it has hit the market.
This can ONLY help Apple to fix things before they sell it. Apple has about 5 months to smooth it out, you know.
And I think the price is just fine for what it offers.
People have no problems spending money on a P3 now, this wont be any different.
Oh yeah I read the bosses email...
Fuck I've been fired!!
Did anyone else noticed on the High resolution picture, the Space Invader cartridge isn't loaded in the Atari??
It's completely empty...Yet it's being displayed on a Dell Monitor...
Unless they have a completely different system underneath running the game, this picture is 100% staged.
What a way to advertise.
And besides, they suck... 0 points and almost dead.
