Because the D&D movie DID indeed suck. It sucked so bad that you don't watch it like a regular movie, you sit down on the couch and have to expect a terrible movie, and you enjoy it because of the fact that it's so terrible.
Your product's going to be obsolete in a matter of minutes because I'm coming out with "Hello, World! Goodbye, World!" software, AND it's going to come with a t-shirt that says "Hello, World!" on the front, and "Goodbye, World!" on the back!
All for a low low price of $299 CDN! That's Canadian funds too, eh!?
Whenever I drive to work here in the Toronto area the amount of smog that I see (and breathe) is pretty scary (I'm sure more-so in places like LA, but I've never been there). I wouldn't be suprised if eventually you'll have air conditioners in cars and homes (and offices and service-oriented companies) that boast (and quite possibly do) grade A purified air.
"TIRED OF ALL THE SMOG ON YOUR WAY TO WORK? GETTING ASTHMA BUT YOU'RE AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE? ACT NOW, GET THE AIR-6000 PURIFICATION SYSTEM FOR YOUR CAR AND YOU'LL BE HEALTHIER AND LIVE LONGER - GUARANTEED!"
So sooner or later, instead of taking a walk outside for granted, you'll have to buy a mask or something or live in a "air pollution free" residential complex.
Just look at water as a prime example. Who the hell bought water just 10 years ago? Everyone drank from the tap. I don't remember the last time I drank from the tap (that went through a filter at least once).
There you have it - paying for air, one way or another.
My copy loved Alcohol 52%. In fact, I didn't even have to press the "please insert the next cd" window.:) I plan on buying my copy when I have some money in a month or so.
It's okay, we get so few hits that it would make up for it for all those other months.
Plus I barely even have any images on there (still a work in progress unfortunately).
It's very interesting to see a website like eMachineShop (I've known about it for a little while already). A lot of actual machine shops that use CNC machinery are run by 40+ y/o gentlemen who are sort of "stuck in the past" (no offence to anyone) with regards to their equipment.
So when you have websites such as eMachineShop you're providing competition to these guys who have no web presence and no facility to even take such orders.
*plug*
On another note, I'm working on something similar but in a slightly different manner. Machine shops themselves would send in a CAD file, and then we would quote them on a cycle time based on our machinery that they could purchase (since I work for a CNC Machine Distributor, who is also ironically suffering from a DOS attack).

Everyone always says "wow is this a slow news day?".
So yes, today is a slow news day, and to your question that you will post tomorrow, yes, tomorrow is also a slow news day.
but so annoying, is going on "mapquest.ca" but it just pointing to mapquest.com, as opposed to maybe the Canadian version (say you go to global maps etc).
It'd be nice if it pointed to the global maps and had Canada as the default.:(
Graham: Galstaff, you have entered the door to the North, you are now by yourself standing in a dark room. The pungent smell of mildew emanates from the wet dungeon walls 2: WHERE ARE THE CHEETOS?!?! Graham: They're right next to you Galstaff: I cast a spell 2: Where's the mountain dew? Graham: In the fridge, DUH! Galstaff: I wanna cast a spell! 2: CAN I HAVE A MOUNTAIN DEW?!?! Graham: Yes, you can have a mountain dew just go get it Galstaff: I can cast any of these right, on the list? Graham: Yes, any of the first level ones 2: I'M GOING TO GET A SODA, ANYONE WANT ONE?!?! HEY GRAHAM I'M NOT IN THE ROOM RIGHT? Graham: What room? Galstaff: I want to cast MAGIC MISSILE 2: THE ROOM WHERE HE'S CASTING ALL THESE SPELLS FROM! Graham: He hasn't cast anything yet Galstaff: I am though if you'd listen- I'm casting MAGIC MISSILE. Graham: Why are you casting magic missile? There's nothing to attack here. Galstaff: I... I'm attacking the darkness!
(LAUGHTER FROM ALL)
Graham: Fine, fine... you attack the darkness. There's an elf in front of you 4: WHOA! That's me right? Graham: He's wearing a brown tunic, and he has gray hair and blue eyes 4: No I don't, I have gray eyes Graham: Let me see that sheet 4: Well it says I have... well it says I have blue but I decided I want gray eyes Graham: Whatever... Okay, you guys can talk to each other now if you want Galstaff: Hello 4: Hello Galstaff: I am Galstaff, sorcerer of light! 4: Then how come you had to cast magic missile?
(LAUGHTER FROM ALL)
Graham: You guys are being attacked 2: DO I SEE THAT HAPPENING?!?! Graham: No, you're outside by the Tavern 2: COOL, I GET DRUNK Graham: Sigh... there are seven ogres surrounding you Galstaff: How could they surround us? I had Mordenkainen's Magical Watchdog cast Graham: No you didn't! 2: I'M GETTING DRUNK, ARE THERE ANY GIRLS THERE? Galstaff: I totally did! You asked me if I wanted any equipment before this adventure and I said no, but I need material components for all of my spells, so I cast Mordenkaiden's Faithful Watchdog. Graham: But you never actually cast it 2: ROLL THE DICE TO SEE IF I'M GETTING DRUNK! Graham: Arghhhh... yeah, you are 2: ARE THERE ANY GIRLS THERE? Graham: Yeah... Galstaff: I did though- I completely said when you asked me... Graham: NO YOU DIDN'T. You didn't actually say that you were casting the spell so now there's Ogres okay? 2: OGRES? MAN, I'VE GOT AN OGRE-SLAYING KNIFE, IT'S GOT A +9 AGAINST OGRES! Graham: YOU'RE NOT THERE! You're getting drunk! 2: OKAY, BUT IF THERE ARE ANY GIRLS THERE I WANT TO DO THEM!
The reason why people still use IE - EVEN when an alternative is shown - is because it's familiar, and because:
- "my favourite websites don't work!"
- "It's slow!"
- "What is this crap."
Coming from people like my sister. I even tried the IE icon trick but she insisted that I put IE back on.
However, articles like this - where your bank password will be stolen if you use IE - well here we go, this is something that I could convince my mom with, as well as my sister.
I think he should play Ventolin by Aphex Twin. That'd really soothe them.:P
Seriously though, Ambient Works 85-92 is good, however Vol 2 CDs 1 & 2 are a little too freaky (personally I love the stuff), but if you're playing something like Adiator or Tassles then people will start talking about becoming Buddhist or wanting to kill you or something.
You would be suprised as to how easily this sort of stuff influences people. For example, if my dad (who's a business owner) were to listen to some shmuck in a suit talk about the dangers of open source - then it'd be quite possible that he might listen to him simply because software is not his thing - the cnc machine business is.
Now in this situation I would be able to easily show him the reasons things were said and that open source and free software is really a great thing.
Now take the same type of person (i.e. 50's business owner who's area of specialty is something other than computers), and a "think tank" in a business suit with an article on some "reputable" website my get through to him, and now you have the IT department running into roadblocks because MS Access is so much more professional than MySQL, or something of that sort.
One of the main reasons I went with debian for my first try was because I wanted to learn from a neutral distribution. The plan was to stick with it and use it for programming. Heh heh, I guess that plan backfired, but no time like the present to try again!:)
I tried installing debian once, here were my impressions:
- X & video driver didn't install properly (but I fixed it). - USB scrolling mouse (logitech) didn't install properly (but I fixed it as well). - I couldn't get the sound card to work. - I couldn't get the network card to work (this one sucked because I had to keep switching back and forth in order to get suggestions and then to try them). - The people on irc.debian.org were very friendly and helpful.
It was the first time trying linux (about a year and a half ago), and I haven't tried it again, however I'm waiting for a slightly nicer installer. Maybe I'll try it now (It's Sunday, nothing else to do).

Firefox has a learning curve? What version did they implement this in?
Try Firefox and you'll realize that it's even easier than IE, even though IE is "so so easy".

It's very easy to send SMS without paying for it. Try ICQ as a start.
That's funny, because whenever I send my cousin an SMS from icq, I don't get charged for it.
What's better? Clicking no on gator pop ups or not getting gator pop ups?
