Actually, I bet there is more truth to that than most would think. The LDS'ers really get the knickers in a twist over the whole magic underware thing.
Exactly! My 97 Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder and automatic transmission only gets between 19-23 MPG. My Saturn car with the same size engine gets 28-34. They all suck as far as I am concerned... Lots of room for improvement!
I picked up CoX at Biglots for $4. It even included a free month. I installed it and used the free week or so they give you when you sign in. It just wasn't very compelling. It looked nice enough, but I couldn't really get interested in it. I may use the free month sometime if I am really bored. I'm sure I'll get $4 worth of gameplay out of it.
Easily explained.. different timeline, and they addressed that in the movie. I am not so sure how they address the fact that Riverside looks like west Texas though. A few hundred years of global warming and something flattened out all the hills? What about the Iowa canyon Kirk dumps the car into? I'm betting they discovered Dilithium under the English river the flows by Riverside?
You can bet that Prescott Pharmaceuticals is working on a nostrum to exploit this latest panic. Includes such side effects as trotter lip, spleen bristles, and toe hams.
I was issued an i760 at work. I gave it up and went back to a Motorola w385 flip phone since I had poor coverage at my house, and the battery died in less than a day. My flip phone goes about 5-6 days between charges.
People either get MS Office/Outlook from work/school for free or cheaply, or they pirate it. They do that because they think they only can use that software. A lot of people that buy netbooks with linux on them wipe them and put a pirated version of XP on it. Some even install a pirated version of OS-X, since Apple makes nothing in that form factor.
I'd love a little linux netbook, and it would have all the functionality I'd need for that. But my eyes are going to shit as I get older, and I know the screen would be too small.
I have mixed feelings on this. My real surname is Colbert, Stephen is a huge science nerd and geek, and I loved Firefly and voted for Serenity. I can't deny that having my surname orbiting as the waste-recycling module on the ISS would be cool.
No, not at all. I just don't see it as being a practical upgrade for most people. I did not go out and purchase Vista to upgrade my XP box. I ended up getting it with a new computer. I think the same is the case with 7. Not worth the cost to upgrade.
What is so earth-shatteringly better that it would be worth spending $100+ on and a chance of breaking a working system? My Vista system really is not that bad. Sure, 7 may be a bit faster and a bit more stable, but I doubt it is worth the money or the hassle.
That's what I do. I keep my steam in offline mode, and play my timewasters like defense grid and peggle. At the same time aonther computer in the hose is online doing LFD. I am guessing this new thing will do away with being able to do that, and there will no longer be an offline mode.
Supposedly the video is only of the maiden flight. The article said they made several more "real" flights. One thing that was disconcerting to me though, was the amount of elevator it took to get airborne. That seemed to me like a not well balanced (CG) aircraft.
Our computers at work will probably get trashed from this. They only use Adobe reader, some old unpatched version, and only IE without any adblocking. Microsoft shop don't you know.
I don't know anyone personally that does twitter either. Just that twit on NPR Science Fridays that keeps going on about Twitter and Second Life.. Jesus that's annoying!

Want to go to Tsotchkie's? Get some coffee?

I remember looking at twitter a few years ago and thinking it was fucking retarded. My opinion hasn't changed.
Those were the guys with the James Bond villain data center. Just from watching the video, you get the impression they are a good group of nerds.

Don't forget you need a $300 smart phone plus a couple of thousand dollars worth of phone contract for that nifty remote.

Most thrilling speed I ever had, was driving a '67 Valiant slant six at 105 mph in the middle of nowhere New Mexico.

It's a bom deal for Microsoft... ;)
Yes.. the hair was singularly amazing.. and airfoil shaped!
