I think most centralist will side with Paul on many issues. Who wants the leader of the free world to look like a Treasure troll who's losing his hair right? But since the invention of TV, the prettier candidate has always won since JFK. Gore vs. Bush was probably the only exception. But who knows what really happened with Florida right?
I think Rand Paul will be a serious contender for the GOP ticket in 2016. He'll have many of the views that make Ron popular, but better looking and be serious considered for the ticket.
Ok.. so you got the major record labels together.. how do you agree to split the revenue fairly?
You'll have to work out a system probably based on who ever gets the most plays, which song is most popular, etc... And of course not all artists are worth the same, correct? You got songs many years old, competing against songs that are just released. Then how do you factor in the appreciation premiums? I'm sure a Antoni Bachelli is worth much more in the eyes of the people than a Britney Spears.
Then you'll get a system where the independent artists will get totally screwed. Their play percentage is much lower than the big record labels and of course they don't have the big wigs and high price lawyers on their side. At least with song purchase models it's easy to map where that 99 cents should go to.
I still have an account on there. I really like their birthday reminders, lets me know which friends to avoid so I don't end up having to buy them birthday gifts.
Maybe bad grammer isn't a bad thing. The main point is everyone can understand you. What's a difference between "me and my friend" and "my friend and I" to someone who doesn't have a rule book in their head? Maybe it's evolution of language.. losing the unecessary fluff and I guess unecessary letter with it.
I notice some times the return address will go to a different state. This can add 2-5 days to the time it takes to return a DVD.
My solution is to print out a bunch of labels with the address of the closest Netflix return address and use the labels every time you're given a return envelope with an out of state address.
For those who haven't been following the story. What happened was some guy was trying to cancel his MySpace account because it was attracted some unwanted spam and by ignoring the account it seemed like he was ignoreing his friends.
When he tried to cancel, sending the request was easy, but the instructions they sent back was very unreasonable. Somewhere along the lines of taking a picture of yourself holding a sign saying you wanted to cancel then uploading that picture to your account, then sending another request for cancellation. So he ended up resulting to uploading porn in order to get his account deleted. It got really bad, to the point where you he was uploading granny porn and lesbian strap-on action.
The cube has got to be the coolest shape ever. The G4 cube is one of the best looking production PCs out there. The GameCube is the best looking 4th generation console out there. (I hope I'm getting the generation right.. NES -> Super NES -> N64 -> GameCube (4th gen right?) )..
Anyways.. onlything more cool than a cube is a better looking cube or a sphere. But unless they can make it hover and stuff, I doubt a sphere could be as cool as a cube. It'll just roll around and stuff. Not very practical.
With all those gesturing Nintendo players are doing with their right arm & the motion sensing controllers. It's going to look kinda suspicious on a gamer if their right arm is much more buff than their left.
Of course, I think what's going to happen are alot of out of shaped gamers will just get tired too easily and will return to the GameCube. We know they had to remove using motion for regular attacks from Zelda because gamers got to tired.
But we also know the PS3 advance graphics will be hard to program for, and their motion sensing isn't as robust as the Wii. So from a development standpoint, developing for the PS2 makes most sense. Everyone has it already, and it's getting dirt cheap. Whoever wins the HD format war, jsut buy a stand alone player.
If they can accelerate late by making it go backwards..
I guess we can expect less lag in the future. But as a side effect you find yourself getting fragged in quake than reciving the data of the rocket that hit you moments later.
So it really turns out there is some truth to online palm readings after all.
Any of you guys see those sites that tell you to smuge your face to the screen and click a button, then on the next page says you're an idiot? I guess now you won't have to feel so stupid.
It be nice if they lowered it to a price cheaper than most webhosting, or add a features like having a MySQL database & domain name for the same price.
If it flops, then Apple will stay away from the mobile phone business and mobile phone content business.
Apple didn't want it stealing the thunder from the iPod. Even though there's no where close to enough battery life to play 100 songs and still be confident enough that your phone won't die on you.
Motorola doesn't want Apple making mobile phone in the future. (remember those rumors?)
Singular of course still wants you to use as much air time as possible. They don't really want content that doesn't use Air time to really suceed.

When I first saw the headline I thought.. cool blow job videos on YouTube. They finally allowed the X rated stuff.
Sadly, I'm disapointed.

Are you hinting that the PS3 is some sort of Vaporware?
It's real dammit. I believe in the blue ray!
Could it get worse if it's bad to begin with?

Make sure you also print out labels to replace the bar code at the bottom.

Kids have been found to get hurt by running with scissors.
A new law was passed to put any adult who gives a minor scissors will be sentanced to 5 years of community service.
If I have a child, I just won't freaking give him any money. I have 100% control of everything the child buys.
And if the child finds ways to make a profit without my help. I'd be damn proud of the child, and encourage him to make more money.
Freaking people spoil their children too much.

Might be pretty embarrasing if you're in the process of canceling your MySpace account and your boss sees it before the profile gets deleted.

By the time you add the nuchucku attachment and the super mario game, you're probably looking at a good $300 - $320
On a Good Note..
Perfect opportunity for 3rd party controller designers. PS2 has some innovative add-ons like the Eye-toy and the Guitar Hero controller.
With all those gesturing Nintendo players are doing with their right arm & the motion sensing controllers. It's going to look kinda suspicious on a gamer if their right arm is much more buff than their left.

Yeah.. if I weren't so lazy and untalented,
I'd also go so far as to joining a real band, playing real gigs and getting tons of groupies, STDs, and all the Crank that comes with it.
But.. I guess I'm sticking to my desk job.
Hmm..
For someone to follow her around with a laptop for 20 min... And to need a chasity belt...
She's probably doing something she shouldn't be doing.

The issue here is the holograms are a replacing the mirrors/lenses. The actual photo cells are still the same.
The idea here is the holograms could be made flat while mirrors you'll have to link up with motors to track the sun.
If you have mirrors already tracking the sun, then you don't need holograms to redirect the light to the photo cells.
As well all know it's man fault what ever happens. Only solution is to wipe out mankind.
I really liked .Mac when it was free.

That'll be funny if Take2 declared quarterly dividends.
So each time Jack has a case against some other game company. They can say that Jack is being paid by Take2.
If you think about it..
