You are correcting computechnica as if he is wrong. I have never heard of the phrase ending in 'Styx' instead of 'sticks' and nobody I know has either. So, I went to google and typed each phrase in, surrounded in quotes. Here's what I got: "I live out in the Styx": 4 pages. "I live out in the Sticks": 924 pages Do you have any references? I'm being serious here, if this is true I have soemthing new to bore my friends with. And if it's not true, I'd of course like to make fun of you.
As a homeowner, I can tell you that renting is FAR easier than owning. While renting, I never had to weed a garden, mop a flooded basement, replace a roof, or dig a ditch.
Leased cars confuse me a bit, considering you pay about what you'd pay for a new car, and every time you scratch it or forget an oil change, you incur costs.
Cell Phones, until just recently (And it's rare now) were an all-or-nothing thing. Either you signed up for that 2-year contract or you carried quarters with you.
Heh. I wrote an N-body simulator (N, in this case, was 3) on a TI-85 in the early 90's. I used up every single byte of the calculator's memory on that program. I wrote the program out on paper so I could delete it and reenter it.
Yes you can. I will sell you every letter combination in a string of 100 letters. Each combination is a word, and there are FAR more than 10^100 of them.

Depending on your version of windows, you'll have to do different things to disable it, but they all involve somethign that says 'disabled' and clicking on it so it is selected. The options are 'Automatic' 'manual' and 'disabled'.
On my machine, running XP, I had to Double Dlick on it and select 'Disabled' from a drop box that was already set to 'Automatic'.
You also have to click on 'stop'.
It won't hurt anything. At the very worst, it will make it impossible to surf the net until you set it back to 'automatic' and click on 'start'.
Oh no! How are we going to stop the smooth, soft, vibrant grass that they use on golf courses from overtaking our lawns!?
Please. I beg you. Dump some of this on my lawn.
I can't get to the applet, but I suspect both are correct.
You're very likely looking at a projection from above. Pluto's orbit is tilted about 30 degrees, so, from above, it will look closer than Neptune, but if you ran a tape measure out in a 3d universe, you'd see it was farther.
If you want a truly sensible design, you would make a body plan with at least four legs, with the torso mounted in the exact center. Like a centaur, except with the human body shifted back to the middle of the horse's body instead of the front.
And then rebuild all cars to support this new shape, or my new robot isn't going to be driving me anywhere any time soon.
the first man to create fire would have been stoned to death for creating smoke, and the first one to create the wheel would have been burned at the stake for making something that could roll over grass.
Well, at least the cavemen in the parallel universe finally accepted fire...
What?
First off, whoever modded you 'Inspiring' or whatever is an idiot.
Secondly, we were not led to believe that the Iraqui invasion would be over quickly. One thing that Dubya said from the get-go was that this would be long, drawn out, and most people would not like it. It's the one thing he's gotten right.
Thirdly, it has nothing to do about apple batteries and how poorly Ipods are designed, so, well, cram it.

Yes, it was contained in Vegas.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, after all.

Those were the days.
Um, I'm sorry, but Wind-up is on the RIAA Radar.
They also produced the Daredevil Album.
'Nuff Said.
Oh, come on, there are tons of them!
"Are you an angel?"
"This party's over"
"What a drag"
"Meesa Darth Binks, dark Gungan a da Sith."
That last one's from Ep 3, I got a spoiler script.
Yes, their nearly limitless power, that still fails to save one of them from horrible burns when they fall into that lava.
Realism isn't as important as CONSISTANCY.
You forgot "Cut to lame space battle where a total accident secures the win for the good guys"

Yeah, way to just rephrase what the original poster said and post it yourself.
Cool, so in 2 months all those people will die anyway, we won't have any innovations, and the money will be gone.
Great plan, to whom do I sign the check?

He didn't.
Yes, that's one of the most vaguely precise predictions I've ever seen.

I apparently typed that in 3 seconds, according to
That's 7 words in 3 seconds or 140 words per minute. I r a 1337 typx0r.
Yeah, like when my car broke down in a bad section of town and a cop helped me out. That jerk, how dare he interfere with MY LIFE.

No, it's not a moon.

The cute chicks get more practice?
I would assume they are smart enough to think of this. You don't need a camera to read a sundial.
It could be over the solar panels, and where the panels aren't getting light, that's where the ball or whatever is casting its shadow.
I'm sure there are more ways to do this, but that's just one.
