I would rather carry a pocket-sized pain-gun than a little pepper sprayer. Considering the number of times my cell phone has randomly dialed while in my pocket, I'd rather not trust something that causes extreme pain that close to such a sensitive area.
I mean, even if you could get it mounted on a frikkin shark, they wouldn't survive long enough out of water for it to be used for crowd control. You could always use it to clear out crowded beaches. Of course, a regular shark works just as well for that.
Obviously it could have nothing to do with the fact that they were constantly bullied!
Actually, I doubt that it did have anything to do with them being bullied (especially since they weren't constantly bullied). It probably had more to do with the fact that Harris was a psychopath and Klebold was depressed and suicidal.
I doubt a buyout is even a possibility, though that's cleary what SCO wants. IBM is probably just so pissed, that they want to squish 'em like the little, insignificant bug they are.
It is a little similar to what I call Stump the Baby. Babies shown a box where two cars go in and two come out will loose interest quick. Show them two going in and only one coming out- or the opposite- and they'll stare at it for much longer...
Actually, most babies will just pick up the box and use it as a hat.
For a real experiment you'd need some way of having a control group. Like half the people who go to the webpage can download a demo for a certain game, and the other half are told no demo was available.
You need to read it a little more carefully. That is exactly what they did.

How is it a Matrix rip off? The Bullet Time feature was locked in long before the Matrix came out or was even advertised.
Unfortuneatly that's true. The single player version is also the one that they will be selling at Walmart. Hopefully they will have some sort of upgrade method in place.
Personally, I like this project done by Utah State University. It uses the Wright Brothers design, but it's all composite and uses a Harley Davidson engine.

This is the guy who said that the DC snipers were gamers and got nearly every mainstream media outlet to beleive it.
He's still claiming it too. This is from his website, www.stopkill.com.
Dateline NBC reported Friday, December 13, that the Beltway Sniper, John Lee Malvo, trained on the sniper video game, Halo, to train for his sniper shootings! Jack Thompson predicted, in an interview by Matt Lauer on NBC's Today show, three weeks before the Beltway Snipers were apprehended, that one of the snipers "might very well be a video gamer as young as 15."
Personally, I like the Navy's method of liquid cooling. The circuit boards are coated with a thin layer of rubber. They're then plugged into their sockets that are located inside of a water filled trough. Not the most elegant of solutions, but it works.
I work with a non-profit organization that provides services for the homeless. We are currently deciding on which HMIS database system to implement for the entire state. And from what I know of the HMIS requirements I can tell you that this arcticle is wildly misrepresenting the facts, and coming to conclusions that just aren't there.
First of all, the HMIS database isn't meant to track the homeless at all. The government believes that the number people being reported is double the number of homeless that there actually are. So the reason for the databases existance is to get a more accurate count of the number of homeless and to track statistical information.
Each persons is given a unique identifier that is associated with their information. They are not tracked by SSN. Every 6 months (I believe thats the time frame) a report is sent to HUD that contains the statistical information. There is no way to identify a specific person by looking at this information. HUDs guidelines are very strict on the matters of the persons privacy.
Also, there is no central database. The state of Utah actually has 3 different sections that would be required to run their own databases. However, we have decided to run the system as a state.
A person can refuse to give the information or not allow it to be shared with HUD. They can't be denied services if they do so. The majority of these databases are also encrypted to help ensure privacy.
The suggestion that the Secret Service would have easy access to this information was an assumption on the part of the author of the arcticle. Even if they did have access to it, they wouldn't be able to track the information back to a specific person so it would be rather pointless.
This could be a great tool for those organizations dedicated to helping the homeless. It will help point out locations and programs that need the most money.

Fallout wasn't a sequel to Wasteland. It has often been referred to as a "Spiritual Successor", though.
...is like asking if the PS3 is still "fresh" after 12 months. Well, is it?He's not a real lawyer. He's a professional thief who uses the courts as the tools of his trade.
I thought that was the definition of a lawyer.
The worst part is the kids who don't get to burn off excess energy at recess will be labled with ADD and put on Ritalin.
Which just makes thinks worse since Ritalin is a pretty powerful stimulant.

Tell that to Uwe Boll.
Only the "M" Rated version can be purchased in stores. You can only get the "AO" version online from the games website.
They used human body heat to fuel themselves. Go watch the movie again.
He was making a joke. Go read the post again.
Does installing Win XP X64 require a clean install or can users upgrade from Win XP Pro?
It requires a clean install.
So... someone's kidnapping children at gunpoint and making them take $20/ticket trips to the local Kidteractive Learnatorium?
Yep. It happens everyday, all across the country. It's called a field trip.

"our value lies with people,"
- Companies exist to make money, not care about people. What kind of BS line is this?
True, but you can't make money without people. Innocent, niave people that you can work to near death and pay almost nothing.
That's why God invented Kinko's.

Last I heard, Microsoft currently owns the licence to make Shadowrun games.
