Would it be a short-circuit of the next 10 years of Blizzard game evolution to just go ahead an suggest a game that is entirely Murloc based? Everyone loves those fishy little scamps anyway, so why not just bite the bullet and give gamers what they want?
I just bought a 1005HA for my wife. It has a built in "return to default" feature that restores the original XP image by pressing Fn+F9 a bunch of times. This is because there's no optical drive on the machine. I assume the feature uses a hidden HDD partition to hold the image. Unless you wipe this hidden partition, you're keeping the XP image for no cost. Seems of dubious moral ground to me.
Kenneth Caldeira, a climate scientist for the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology at Stanford University whose computer simulation of Ace's invention suggests it would significantly cool the planet.
I kept waiting for the second half of that sentence, but then *BAM* period. End of sentence. I was all like, "WOAH! This guy's messing with my brain by defying the convention of the written word!"
If you don't understand the OP, then you don't appreciate avant-garde literature.
I agree. Most of the altered screen shots look terrible to me. If they had gone with this color scheme Blizzard would have countless people complaining that they just hopped on the under-saturated, over-light-bloomed Gears of War bandwagon of browns and grays. Those developers call it "gritty". There is a lot of room in the gaming world for something different.
It was noted in one of the developer videos on announcement day that Blizzard challenged themselves to add color to D3 and I think it was a bold (pun intended) move. I think we will all see that their choice will make the difference between bland, forgettable environments and scenes that become locked in the players' memories. I am excited to play this game precisely for this reason.
The reusable ship was conceived to carry four people towards the Moon
Apparently the ESA / Russia are ushering in a new age of "close enough" space exploration.
News Report, 2021:Today astronauts from the ESA will begin a new chapter of space exploration by first going up really high, and then kinda drifting off in sort of a that way direction. The mission captain was interviewed recently concerning the importance of today's historic flight.
"We are confident that the up portion of the mission will go smoothly. We then plan to transfer to the next stage where, God willing, we will be the among the first humans to end up somewhere over toward the Moon." He commented, waving vaguely off toward the sky.
Jimmy: Hey, what gives? Jimmy's Dad: You said you wanted to live in a world without zinc, Jimmy. Well now your car has no battery. Jimmy: But I promised Betty I'd pick her up by 6:00. I better give her a call. Jimmy's Dad: Sorry Jimmy. Without zinc for the rotary mechanism, there are no telephones. Jimmy: Dear God! What have I done?
(Jimmy pulls out a gun, points it to his head and fires) Jimmy's Dad: Think again Jimmy. You see the firing pin in your gun was made out of, yep, zinc. Jimmy: Come back zinc! Come Back!
Couldn't they at least have a mass, maybe a magnet, that floats inside the turbine post, bobbing up and down with the waves? They could build the post like a giant Forever Flashlight to grab some energy off the undulating water.
How about some kind of mandatory test (every couple years or so) in which people are placed in various life-threatening situations involving wild animals, obstacle courses, etc.?
Have you ever watched a Japanese game show? They already do this and I'm pretty sure, based on the typical contestants, that it's mandatory.
The viruses and Trojans
positively identified on the Laptop are known for allowing attackers to access a computer remotely, steal
passwords and personal data; hijack Internet browsers; redirect web pages and Internet searches; generate
pornography; and download other malicious code.
Generate pornography? Wow, that's some virus. You'd think the guy would have been suspicious when pizza delivery guys and plumbers kept arriving at his laptop and receiving alternate forms of payment for their "services". Not to mention the bass-heavy music that played at all times.
So no doubt we'll continue to hear debate on this subject until either the convention or Hillary steps down. Would an anti-Hillary step up? Someone contact CERN.
In other news, there's a Banana.com. Which, quite alarmingly, features what looks like a Red/Blue stereoscopic image of a donkey carrying bunches of bananas. I can't seem to wrap my head around the reason why this image would be desired in that format.
...someone stored all his earnings in the form of paper for his later retirement into a bank vault. I understand planning for retirement security, but there are nicer places to retire to. Wasn't there a Brendan Fraser movie about this?
Slashdot Mirror
It's a Microsoft case, right?

Maybe the LIGO scientists forgot to take the lens cap off. That's usually the problem for me, anyway.
Wake me when there's a car that's Vin Diesel-Electric.
According to Wikipedia: "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, also described as the Eastern Garbage Patch or the Pacific Trash Vortex..."
Pacific Trash Vortex would be a good name for a band.

A friend pointed out that this basically guarantees that Bruce Campbell will be involved.
If I had so many vulnerabilities I would feel insecure too.
Couldn't NASA just scuttle the ISS in orbit to create an artificial space reef?
Now, if they can just treat the movies as non-canon
Seriously? I love the show, but it's a cartoon. It's not exactly a coherent work of fiction.
Are there really a lot of obese, diabetic, asthmatics who are inordinately promiscuous and champion chain smokers?
This sounds like an HBO drama in the making.
You may be thinking of hair follicles (the skin cells the hair grows from). As far as I know, hair itself does not contain DNA that can be analyzed.
The OP is a brilliant literary artist.

Branson and Rutan are truly ushering in a new golden age...

"Oh, there it is."
I'm still waiting for them to find all the missing socks.
