have kids? my son, currently 2, has known where the power and eject buttons for tvs, stereos and dvd players were within seconds of getting near them. he presses all the buttons, finds one that makes daddy shout an obscenity, and remembers to press it regularly when daddy appears to be enjoying himself.
hes an evil little bastard sometimes, found the mute button last week:/
the earbuds that came with my sandisk Sansa mp3 player were awful. the music was terribly muffled and i could almost exclusively hear the low end of the sound. i spent 20 bucks on a pair of sennheiser mx500s and it made a world of difference. 20 bucks isnt much at all, but it made listening to music on the player much more enjoyable (i usually listen to jazz, classical and some bluegrass or acoustic music, so clarity is important to my enjoyment.)
link? ive heard a number of things about the "original hebrew", one being that we dont have any access to the original hebrew, but we do have the "original" hebrew tranlated into greek, though ive *never* heard any talk of a translation that said there were at first a number of gods.
i got my wife a GBA for christmas, she'll love it. all the classic NES/SNES games we used to love, zelda, final fantasy games, mario brothers...all sorts of stuff. 800 games for the gba, or something like that, and many can be had used on the cheap. going to be hard to beat, if you ask me.
thast because, atheist or not, people suck. there are people everywhere who dont give a real shit about anyone else in the slightest, which means some christians, some arabs, some atheists, some this that and the other group....some people are always going to be vocal and a pain in the ass. it ruins the reputation of decent people who *arent* a pain in the ass. there are some nerds giving us decent nerds a bad name, right this minute. it sucks, but thats life.
it doesnt work for everyone. hell, my sister didnt even *have* morning sickness. why dont they study women who have it, and those who dont, and see if theres any chemical difference in them first and go from there before they start giving them trial drugs? my wife had it so bad that she was in tears an hour a day: saltines didnt do her ay good.
i used to use church as nothing more than an escape to think to myself for a couple of hours, since most people would just leave me alone if i stared ahead or had a bible open on my lap and kept quiet. i spend all day with an unimaginable number of things going through my head. thinking about what could or did or might happen as though it were a game of chess: analyzing every move i make, might make, or did make to see where it did, will or may lead me.
i dont talk much at all, unless i happen to be very thoroughly educated and certain of my position on a topic, because if im not i end up rambling on endlessly as i begin to go over all the possible positions that could be taken up. my wife finds it quite a chore to talk with me. i have to keep reminding her that i need time to think about what i want to say, and how, and that once i have what i need arranged properly in my mind, i can talk to her without rambling on and on about things. it doesnt help that i almost certainly have ADHD (thats by looking at the brief descriptors in the DSM IV of ADHD and realizing that i meet a number of the requirements to be considered as such, not only do i ramble on, but i ramble into a string of varying subjects and ultimately forget what i was talking about in the first place)
when i wrote book reports and essays in high school, i never needed a second draft. the first one was, short of perhaps minor spelling or grammatical errors, exactly what i intended to hand it when the project was due, despite my teachers insistence upon my writing a first draft before a final draft was turned in. i ended up having to intentionally make errors in the first draft to correct for the second, because id spend so much time thinking about the topic that when i put pen to paper initially...i was done. on other subjects, i just ramble in my head until i forget what i was going on about, which i find quite relaxing from time to time, as it seems nobody is terribly interested in enduring me when i speak it all aloud.
my cell phone actually "rings" and i always get a funny look when it does so in public. people cant believe id use a "ringing" tone for my phone.
ill admit, i do have a couple of ringtones i downloaded since my sister works at US cellular and got them for me: "sit on my face and tell me that you love me" which i use for restricted numbers, and "o holy night" as sung by eric cartman, which ill be using between thanksgiving and christmas:D
otherwise, it just rings. i have a couple of people who i use different sounds for, but it usually just rings. and i *always* know its MY phone that needs to be answered.
my brother is a hippie and those bastards are far too lazy to re-dye everything every 45 minutes, considering they have to wear it for days at a time. nice try.
people allow it because most people dont pay any attention to it, because its not going to directly affect most people, because most people dont invent or even conceive of filing a patent on anything in the first place.
i change clocks all the time, power goes out or a battery dies in something....and they have a problem changing it every couple of years? how much trouble is it to adjust these clocks by 1 second anyway?
so dont buy it. i dont watch movies repetitivley that often, if i want to, ill buy the DVD. otherwise, its netflix for me. now if i could buy a movie for 5 bucks and burn it to a dvd, i might go for it. i dont care for previews, subtitles or special features; and if its legal and the download is fast, i might buy a few more for 5 bucks than skip over them *until* they hit 5 bucks in a year or two.
except that, of course, thousands or millions can view a blog at once while they post advertisements all over the site, and at a bar well...theres an occupation limit and signs for budweiser or guiness.
im all for free speech, i can understand the arguments on both sides, but your final statement there was simply untrue, and you should have known it.

by that time people wont be using pens, i imagine.
how does opinion determine what is in the realm of possibility?

if they really worked it, 3fph: frames per hour.

unless mine get to doing some chores, theyll have an etch-a-sketch.
i thought, currently, all time is based off of GMT anyway.

thats how its been for a while now, and people still buy consoles. im tempted to get a 360 myself, though i hate to say it.
it probably doesn't

its dishonest because they arent actually selling out, since they have more available but just arent *allowing* them all to be sold.
