Personally I won't play this. For my money, if I'm racing, I'd rather shoot some pedestrians, or run them down, and have the cops chase me in GTA, much more fun.
I agree. I love GTA racing online. If you're behind a car, you shoot out his tires and then pass him real fast before he shoots out your tires!
It has helped me improve my exquisitely nerdy recorder skills for renfair. Even better, it is free. http://www.???????.com

Provably incorrect. My digital watch displays nothing when the battery is dead. When it gets water in it, results vary but usually I see 18:88:88. These watches are wrong all the time.
A watch is not a clock, it is a timepiece.
Anyway, the GP is quoting the phrase incorrectly. It is "even a stopped clock is right twice a day". It's a quote from the lovely Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach.
But the Dems are in charge of Congress, so this shouldn't be a problem anymore, right? 'bout time you realize that problem is ALL politicians, you partisan hack.
FYI - all five of the FCC Commissioners were appointed by Republican President Bush and all five of them were confirmed by a Republican led Senate. The Democrats have only been in power in the Senate since January 2007 and no FCC Commissioners have been nominated or confirmed since.
Is it? After you take out the deaths caused by damage from the sport, both immediate (eg, broken necks) and delayed (eg, cumulative brain damage from repeated concussions)?
I have a hard time believing that any difference in life expectancy isn't _far_ more related to the damage done to their body rather than their BMI. You also, of course, have to account for the damage done by illegal steroid use....
After their playing days are done, many National Football League linemen suffer from a health syndrome that puts them at significant risk for cardiovascular disease.
That condition, called metabolic syndrome, includes such symptoms as an enlarged heart, sleep apnea, abdominal obesity and high blood pressure, according to a study by Dr. Arthur Roberts, a former NFL quarterback, a retired heart surgeon, and president of the Living Heart Foundation.
Linemen, who are the largest players and typically weigh in at 300 to 350 pounds, are twice as likely to develop these conditions as other retired football players. "When you break it down, the main risk factor is their large body size," Roberts said. -- NFL players with the highest BMI are the linemen. I understand that these guys have biceps bigger than my thighs but they also have massive fat filled bellies. Muscles are nice but they are not a magic bullet to prevent heart disease if you are carrying a barrel sized belly.
Me: lazy-ass, sedentary programmer. Them: professional football players.
Who do you _really_ think is in better shape?
The average life expectancy of an NFL football players is decades shorter than the average person, so I am guessing the lazy-ass, sedentary programmer.
I hope the security people have enough sense to not taser a person that might be carrying a bomb with an electronic trigger but then again remember that off-duty cop who tasered that guy holding a newborn baby.
Actually, the service had already stopped in most states, but Nevada and California -- with their large rural and unmapped areas -- were still holding out, should the lost motorist or weary hiker need to know the time of day.
I am lost in the uncharted areas of California or Nevada and the most important thing I need to know is the time? Are these hikers and lost motorists navigating with a sextant?
If I have access to a phone to call the time, shouldn't I be able to call for help?

Is he getting picture and sound but it cuts out frequently?
Does he get picture and sound but it cuts out when someone moves around the room?
Is he not getting any picture and sound?
Does the problem get worse when it rains or the wind blows?
Does the apartment actually face the transmitters?
How far away is he from the transmitters?
Is there trees or large buildings in the way?
Do you live in a valley or is a large hill between the apartment and the transmitter?
What kind of picture do you get with analog reception? Ghosting or multiple images?
Is the antenna pointing toward a busy road?

They just released Daniel's real name - turns out it is Alan Smithee.
Well done, but I'd like to see the even more difficult to pull off "Misfits of Science" analogy.
Everyone agrees that's a bit of an over generalization .
Cue Mr. New Here.
Only old people expect the Korean inquisition.
Gonna have to update the X-Men movie.

The pie is a fake.
In Korea, exploding cellphones are only for old people.

Hopefully there was any fowl play involved.
