OK. Then why hasn't there been a repeat? Something must be working. Homer: "There's not a single bear in sight -- the 'Bear Patrol' is working like a charm."
Lisa: "That's specious reasoning."
Homer: "Thanks, honey."
Lisa: "According to your logic, this rock keeps tigers away."
Homer: "Hmmm. How does it work?"
Lisa: "It doesn't."
Homer: "How so?"
Lisa: "It's just a rock. But I don't see a tiger, anywhere."
If you'd read the article you linked to it talks about The Daily Show vs. The Tonight Show and The Late Show. I wouldn't call either of those network news.
If you'd read the article you'd see that they quizzed adults INCLUDING those who did not watch late-night TV. Those who watched any of those three shows beat out those who did not, with The Daily Show viewers edging out the other two shows on top of that.
Considering that I've never heard of Revver, Vox or VideoEgg and didn't know that Yahoo! had released their own video site, I wouldn't say that the first three mentioned are the competition. YouTube and Google would be the ones they would have to match and beat, and the reviewer says that Microsoft's offering is already slightly better than YouTube. Comic Book Guy shouldn't review sites.
Its always great fun making a PP presentation for management. They always come back again and again asking how much more information can be taken out. Until finally there is only 4-5 pages, and it does not say anything except basically adjectives.
Actually this is what a good Powerpoint slide should be, a max of six words or a picture. Powerpoint aren't supposed to be notes to be read, they are a quick summary or a reminder of what you are speaking about. They are visual support, not the primary focal point.
Unforunately, they have become progress reports that are read aloud verbatim, at least in the business world.
Except that Ultracade isn't aimed at the college student who just wants to play games, it's aimed at those who want to play games LEGALLY. This is especially important if you want to plop an arcade game into a bar and become an operator. When you do that, the $1500 for a kit or $4000 for a full unit doesn't look so bad. That's still less than most new arcade units, and you let people play more games!
Yes, thank you! I was going to write a similar post, but you used more examples than I had thought of. What many of us forget is that computers are not ways of life, they are not religions, they are tools.
I've been saying this for years. Sure, any football game can have you mindlessly going from one end of the field to the other. But only Mutant League Football had pits and mines to avoid! Genius!
Bring back Mutant League Hockey while they're at it as well.
The vacation they give you is *paid* vacation time. There's nothing stopping you from taking additional time off, you just wouldn't get paid for it. There's your pay cut. Problem solved.
They debunk the myth, not the physics behind the myth.
With the squad car axel, the myth was that you can tie a cable to the rear axel and rip it off when it speeds away. Yes, you can use a different material and rip the axel off, but that wasn't the myth.
Same goes for the hammer. The myth was that by dropping the hammer, the surface tension would be lessened to the point that you would survive. Yes, the tension was lessened, but to a relatively miniscule amount.
Either way, you fall off a bridge at that height and you're screwed, heh.

No, but a housekeeper can. And in the long run is cheaper.

You know what we call this person? "Mr. President."

Since it's an RPG I'd go with THAC0.
the CAN-SPY act?
And again on April 2nd, 3rd, and 6th.

You know that we don't RTFA! 100,000 is a little high on the scale!
Strong Bad strikes again.
Whereupon a hurricane comes along and wipes you out, heh.

No, wait. I have that backwards.

Lay off Trebeck. You wouldn't have known that if you didn't have that card in front of you!
Wealth through cooperation is not a zero-sum game
Unless of course you get a small coalition together who always lose, thereby ensuring you see the greatest gain.
They had a refurb G4 800 iBook for $800 with a 1 year warranty. They haven't had any for a month or so. Just an FYI.
Evil Medical School?
Of course it's hard, they make you drive on the wrong side of the road!
