I wish they would include info about the entire team, and not just the few top dogs as usual.
I happened to bump into two Halo 2 people here in Seattle last Friday while shooting a video tour and failed to ask them what part of Halo 2 they were actually working on.
Anyhow, if you guys are scanning these posts feel free to drop me a line.
" It requires that those unsolicited ads comply with a few (totally useless) requirements. "
Even the email spam I get from my wireless provider - AT&T Wireless - requires that I go to their website and actively opt out from getting it. I also had to do the same to stop the text message spam they were sending to my cellphone.
This was spam trying to sell me ringtones, so it was a third party who was ultimately spamming me through AT&T.
On both occasions nothing happened within three months and I had to make the usual threatening phone call with excessive attitude to work my way up the chain of command to speak to someone who actually had a clue what they were doing and turned it off.
And that's a company I give $127 a month to.
Which box did, or didn't I check to get roped in to that deal!?!
I often wonder whether I should leave my PS2 on all the time like I do my computers (well, my Mac's anyway - I'm paranoid that my PC's turn into spambots as soon as I leave the room).
Unless there's a disk in the machine is there any real reason to ever turn the PS2 completely off?
"/. used to be one of the first to report news items."
/. still is one of the first to report news items, but it also works well as a source for older news (two or three days) that most of us may have seen already but which had a related discussion board with comments of little or no interest.
The delay of the next major version of Windows, for example, wasn't exactly a/. exclusive but it didn't stop me from spending a chunk of my time at/. reading comments.
"Which would mean that this product would more likely be marketed to the makers of beer rather than the makers of soft drinks"
Why the hell they don't put beer machines next to soda machines in parks and other public places is beyond me. There's no way kids would purchase beer, it's not sweet enough!
How about when Ford released the Ford Asshole in North American markets before realizing that Asshole is actually a slang word for anus. Or how about the Chevy Big Tits, which turned out to mean large busoms.
"hopefully pushing Apple to lower prices and/or open up their architecture"
Bullshit, Real don't give a fuck about getting Apple to lower their prices or open their architecture, otherwise they'd be selling WMA at half proce too. It's all about trying to screw Apple over so sugar daddy over in Redmond will let them into the clubhouse.
As much as I'd love to install Netscape, or any other browser than IE for that matter, on my PC I have to see pages the way a hefty majority of my clients see it. It's a damm shame I'm tied to one single app in this way.
On the bright side I'm one G5 away from tossing the PC and running a Windows emulator, as soon as Microsoft release the next version.
"You're basing your entire view on the Olympic coverage on the 2 hour prime time highlight coverage."
Good point. I started watching the Bob Costas show about an hour ago and had to turn it off. Those little sob story dramas they present before someone gets on a balance beam or whatever make me sick to my stomach.
Up until tonight I had been watching the "live" feeds in the mornings and early afternoons, wondering where the life story segments had gone, and thankfully it seems that the Bob Costas show in the evenings is the last bastion of these disgusting pieces of filth.
I also noticed a message appearing in the daily feeds that says something to the effect of "find out more about this athlete at nbc.com".
This is a great idea NBC. Which genius thought that one up.
Let those who actually give a fuck what these people do for a day job find out all they want online while I get to watch some actual Olympic competition.

"Because, as much as the United States would like to, we cannot control the happenings in the rest of the world?"
Enough with the rest of the world crap - it all starts here:

and here:
ESI, 5072 N. 300 W. Provo, UT 84604
and....you get the picture.

"People forget (or may not know in the first place) that the voice of Sponge Bob (and I believe Patrick) are done by Tom Kinney"
Just for the record, it's SpongeBob and Tom Kenny.
My wife knows him from way back and I met him just the once at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival a few years ago.
His current gig as the voice for SpongeBob SquarePants has got to be the number one voice gig in the universe.
Just think how the quality of porn would slip if they adopted this bidding process!
2002 must be the year when Florida got connected to the internet.
So the ideal number of beers is nine!
Whay not just design some little robot people to breathe on it to keep it all nice and warm?
"I know several people in the military, who were absolutely enraged with the last election"
Eeek, that's waaay too scary. People in the military getting enraged over votes!
You calling the RIAA a Tug Boat?

"says it works like sh**"
I get the gist of what you're saying, but any chance of some specifics?
"I'm just wondering where those people are hiding right now"
Most likely in bed! It's just after midnight here in Seattle, so god knows what time it is everywhere else!
I speeded a few of the videos up by around 3x and they still looked pretty smooth!

Funny how it all comes around huh.
Some trick of the light no doubt, but super cool all the same!
"Or is it by volume, based on the idea that only the dirt down to a certain depth can be considered to be within the city limits"
I'm guessing it's Boulder all the way down!
No kidding. I looked at that and kracked up.

"Oddly enough, I saw the crew compartment being driven around in Toronto on Saturday morning (towed behind a white pickup truck)"
Those were the low velocity sex tests. Watch out for the crew compartment being sent over the Niagara Falls for the more advanced Sex in Space tests.
