...consoles such as the Xbox 360 continues to lack a straightforward way to upgrade its graphics card, processor, memory...
One of the great things about consoles (and one of the reasons I game almost exclusively on my Xbox360 now, when 5 years ago I refused to even consider a console) is that everybody has the same hardware. Except the TV of course.
and run two screens with a browser on one side, and a game on the other.
I always have my laptop on my table next to my couch while I'm gaming.
Sadly, no. Detailed information (And the Trends page in it's current incarnation. And, a month later, our show) only goes back to May of last year. However, if I had to guess I'd say it was on Big Brother, American Idol, Punk'd, or Dane Cook said it.
I've been doing a podcast based on the Google Trends, which the Zeitgeist is directly related to, for almost 1.5 years now and I must say, watching the trends weekly (and daily) is an interesting exercise. We actually go through and try to find why things were searched for, and while 90% of the terms are based on TV shows (Predominately Extreme Home Makeover and House), the few that are from other sources (xkcd pops up occasionally, as does Google's ever-changing logo) are where the fun lies. That, and the searches for stuff like "Hot Karl" and "Anal Fissures."
I've been using Google Docs to revise like this in the real world for over a year to do the show notes for my podcast, Volcanicast. 3-4 people need to edit and I need it to output (piss-poor, in Google Docs' case) html for the resultant rss feed for the show.
I love that Google Docs does all this pretty seamlessly. I wish, however, that the html was better and a few bugs with formatting would get fixed. If I could find something that output html and allowed simultaneous editing, and was easy to use (one of our group isn't very tech savvy and anything that's not "Like Word" won't work), I'd switch in a second.
I didn't play Gears of War or Bioshock, but you can't tell me you were disappointed with Mass Effect's ending, both from the play side and the story side. If they never came out with Mass Effect 2 I'd be totally happy with the complete story of Mass Effect 1.
Just because they're planning a trilogy doesn't mean they're going to end the first installment with your character hanging from a cliff.
Actually, Slashdot *REPORTED* that the *NORTH POLE* *MAY* be ice free by September. Not that the entire area north of the Arctic Circle would be tropical. But sensationalist hyperbole is fairly common around here I suppose.
The GPS isn't logging the speed, or if it is it's as secondary, calculated data. I would assume (else I can't imagine this ever got him off) that they used the location data over time points. If you're here at point x at time a, and point y at time b, you were going (y-x)/(b-a) miles per hour.
I'm not a native English speaker; in Romanian, my mother tongue, we call all religions, including ours, a "religious cult". I really cannot grasp the offensive term in "cult". Does it sound that offensive in English ?
Here in the US, at least, the word "cult" implies a large group of followers and a shaggy-haired leader, usually having sex with all the followers. He takes all their money, they live on a commune, and at his word they'll all happily commit suicide in order to transfer their souls to a passing comet. They also stockpile weapons and molest children.
Yes, this is all stereotypical and there are plenty of cults that are simply communes, but there have been a decent enough number of the bad cases that it's not exactly a stretch to not want your cult to be called as such.
If it was old style Indiana, he would have skipped the quips, scrambled frantically for something that would get them out of their predicament, found the rocket laungher, gotten dragged out of the window of the truck, losing the rocket launcher in the process, used the elephant (they were in a jungle) running next to the truck from 3 scenes earlier to help kick himself back onto the roof of the truck, grabbed the rocket launcher, lost the rocket launcher to the nazi, and had the nazi accidentally shoot the rocket at the bad guys after he got knocked off the truck by a tree branch or a vine or something. Then after it was all done, Indiana would have had some kind of one liner to seal the deal.
I watch the ads until something comes up that I've seen several times, or is for a product I don't care about, or is particularly lame. Most commercial breaks, that's the first one, but sometimes I'll watch several commercials.
As soon as I hit that bad commercial, though, I skip the rest of the break. If I'm already hitting skip I may as well go all the way.
How much electricity does it take to "turn a page" on an e-book? Could a person generate that power easily? In addition to accepting drm-free pdf/txt/whatever files, I'd like, if it's feasible, to be freed from battery dependence as well. If I could generate enough power to turn the page by, say, closing and then opening the device (with, say, a toggle switch for "turn the page" or "I'm just closing the book") you could get that book feel even more, and never worry about your battery running out when you're on a plane.
In my mind, the e-book would look a lot like a paperback, and open in a similar manner.
I can't say for sure that you'll instantly get a wanted level, because I'm not sure I've driven drunk past a cop (In the game, dumbasses). But I've driven home drunk several times and smacked into some serious stuff along the way with little to no inconveniences (Other than having to back up a bit to get back on the road).
The part I'm in arms about is that you can still have sex when you're so plastered. I mean, come on, alcohol is a DEPRESSANT. Little Niko's not gonna be able to drive any better than Big Niko.
Yeah! If there's competition between iTunes and MySpace, and MySpace charges $2.99 per track like the RIAA wants, Whatever will Apple do? They'll be forced to raise their prices to $2.99 just to compete!
This seems to only affect people who voted for it, and now want to vote against it.
You should have to do more (this much more? Not my decision but it does seem odd) to change your vote. Why'd you change your mind? What made you vote for it in the first place?
Or better yet, develop artificial wombs and send unmaned spacecraft with only genetic samples. The ones providing the dna can then be sterilized on earth knowing that they have contributed.
That will only lower the population of artificial wombs and genetic samples. How will that help population growth?
For the record, I don't support solar system/galactic colonization because of population growth. I support it because I want to see what Jupiter looks like from Ganymede with my own eyes.
There are gasses made up of molecules (You're breathing one now). Molecules are made up of atoms, sure, but the specifics imply that these are single-atom gasses.

The difference with console DRM is that it's transparent. I'm not saying that makes it more right, of course, but it makes it far more bearable.
I don't even think about DRM on my console but I'm afraid to put MUSIC CDs in a Windows computer. That says something.

I'm pretty sure the problem was in thinking that your son's bum looks nice in shorts.
I'm sure you could schedule something with your boss to keep you from paying an extortionist thousands of dollars you didn't morally owe them.
This is just more ammunition for when someone asks me why I care about DRM.
Thanks, Yahoo!, though to be honest I didn't know they had a music store either.

Were I trying to convince someone that my unscientific theory was sound, the absolute last thing I'd want to teach them would be critical thinking.
Next they're going to start lighting fires at gas stations.
Makes more sense to invest a larger portion the funds in areas where it will be utilized to greater effect.
The athletic department?

You're hired.

Exactly correct.
The solution shouldn't be making pissing in the street illegal. It should be taking a picture of it that's illegal.
IOW, if you're pissing in the street, you shouldn't be mad when someone takes a picture of it.

Haven't read the article, don't plan to.
Not that I've ever put on an oxygen mask, but I suspect I'd find it difficult if I was unconscious.
Do you have a reference for this? I'm a mild space geek and I've never heard it before.
