The thing is, if this is going to be for gaming or developing games, Macs aren't really that good a choice. Just take a look at the wide selection of games for Macs.
But still touch doesn't necessarily mean you are going to...uh.. violate her. As a naturally concerned individual seeing sparks flying from a girl, assuming you didn't know about the insta-shock jacket, wouldn't you tap her on her shoulder to get her attention and ask about the sparks or at least to tell her about them in case she didn't notice.
Of course, for the more daring or desperate guys out there, this could feasibly be a way to meet girls:
1. Appear as a well-meaning individual to girl/victim. 2. Intentionally get shocked before she can turn it off. 3. Wake up in her apartment(if you're lucky) or at hospital with her by your side. 4. Ask for name and phone number as compensation. Alternatively, you could threaten to sue first and then ask. 5. Profit!!
In all likelihood, you'll probably get slapped and kicked out. But with a little tact, or knowledge of the law, you just might luck out.
Actually, i'm thankful for the BitTorrent link. While you might be able to get a good download speed with AOL, I do not. For some reason, maybe because I'm on the other side of the world, the best I can get is 5kbps when I download from AOL...and i'm using DSL. With BitTorrent, there's no problem in attaining full speed while helping others with the same predicament.
hmm..maybe "kinda-high speed" broadband, or more accurately, "higher-than-dialup" broadband.
I guess it also depends on the location. For example in Malaysia, the best we currently have(well, for ordinary household consumers that is) is a 384K ADSL. This might seems trivial to all you with multi mbps connections but here, it's the definately broadband(read: high speed).
I remember long ago when my friend got a 56K ISDN leased line(something like that). At that time with the rest of us using regular and underperforming 56K modems, I remember some of us going "wow, you actually get 7k/s!" At that time 128Kbps would definately be considered high speed.
- ignore the will of the international community - kill thousands of innocent civilians just to get to one man...twice - still purposely go after civilian facilities just to take out the weapons - spend billions of dollars on war while it's economy is falling - claim to observe democracy but ignores hundreds of thousands of it's own people shouting for peace
Personally, I believe the problem lies in bush. I'm pretty sure or at least sincerely hope that most americans, pro-war or not, aren't really that dumb. You got to admit, he wasn't an all too intelligent person to begin with but the sept 11 tragedy must have sent too many shocks to his brain and fried some circuits. Being the president, he has the authority to make his country go to war, even if some aren't too sure about it. And being american citizens, they're expected to be patriotic and support the country. It's easy enough to convince most of your own citizens to offer support and make them believe what you need them to believe through pro-government mass media and whatever other means.
Now look at what the bush is doing. He's making the government defy the international community and forgo the consent of other major powers to do as he wishes. Maybe he has some personal vendetta or something but this is leading a whole nation and probably many of it's allies into alot of trouble. When was the last time a country defied the international community and went unilateral? Think WW2.
While i really don't think this will be the immediate cause of WW3, i'm pretty sure that in future, people are going to look back and curse that bush for doing this. Just take a look around. How many other major powers are split and unhappy about the US doing this. The bush has single-handedly(or with the help of a government and an army) managed to plant the seeds of doubt and displeasure in so many other countries. In time these divisions would grow wider and set the stage for certain parties to group together to rival certain other parties. Unless of course the US starts some major public relations after this. At least give a reason for ties to improve. No one wants to fight over an issue in a country far far away...though of course there are other issues...**money!**. and of course no superpower wants to sit by and watch as another attempts to gain more control and power.
Anyway, to most of us slashdot readers,especially the more youthful , war is just something where you camp(use tactics) with a sniper on a ledge behind some tree and wait for some assaulter to run to the door of the convoy truck. Try living a day in the front lines and you'll realize that you'll never want anyone else to go through this, american or not.

"Breakout, Super Breakout,...photoshop..."
"Jerry Yang of Yahoo! found himself in a 16-way tie for 162nd place."
Makes me wonder, what place does CommanderTaco have?
"I personally hope we continue building what Sci Fi writers write about."
I'm just waiting for my light-saber.
Let me get this straight. He illegally made a search using his own name? His real name?? And with a last name like 'Lamo'?
Now that's a good way to avoid getting caught...
How about a gun pointed at their head and a blow job?
"She was standing in an antiseptically white space so pure and seamless and bright that the eye balked at reporting it to the brain."
Sounds alot like the Construct.

"Preliminary numbers put the sled's speed at mach 8.6 or about 10300 km/h"
bah..you and your metric and imperial units.
What we really want to know is...how fast is that in Libraries of Congress(LOC)/second.

All of them actually.

it'll be sold out in 2 minutes

Well with IE it seems to only open up an Unauthorised page but when I use Opera to open the links it opens up a box requesting username and password.
