A tad depressing to see the story posted to MSNBC with the headline OOPS. I'm sure the engineers are glad to see their multi-million dollar failure taken so lightheartedly.
Canadians liberated? From what? Our superior health care system? Our superior education system? Our superior social support structure? Our innate compassion and politeness? Our Beer? You can have the beer when you pry it from my cold dead hands. And no...contrary to your sub-par schoolbooks, they are not cold because I live in an igloo. I wonder if there is an entry for The War of 1812 in that schoolbook? Hmmmmm...
...just let Kurt rest in peace? Isn't it bad enough his wife was Courntney Love, and now you want to revive the guy and shrink him to boot!? What does RTFA mean?
FYI: "Can You See The Great Wall of China from The Moon?
For some reason, some urban legends tend to get stated and never disappear. This legend even appears as a erroneous Trivial Pursuit question. The legend? Many are familiar with the claim that the Great Wall of China is the only man-made object visible from space or from the moon with the naked eye. This is simply not true.
From a low orbit of the earth, many artificial objects are visible on the earth, such as highways, ships in the sea, railroads, cities, fields of crops, and even some individual buildings. While at a low orbit, the Great Wall of China can certainly be seen from space but it is not unique in that regard.
However, when leaving the earth's orbit and acquiring an altitude of more than a few thousand miles, no man-made objects are visible at all. NASA says, "The Great Wall can barely be seen from the Shuttle, so it would not be possible to see it from the Moon with the naked eye." Thus, it'd be tough to spot the Great Wall of China or any other object from the moon. Furthermore, from the moon, even the continents are barely visible."
OH now that's just mean. Mallrats, although a humorous look at nerddom, corrupted the original Jay we all knew and loved from clerks. Jay #1 uttered some of the funniest lines in cinematic history. " Shit yeah, Silent Bob...You know you're cute as hell. I like to take you, suck you, line up three other guys and make like a circus seal. Ya, Fuckin Faggot! I hate guys...I love WOMEN!" Pure genius.:-P
I agree that this is an obviously effective countermeasure to piracy since storage is so cheap (and getting cheaper). Shouldn't they be trying a little harder to maximize the potential of existing or near-future tech to fight piracy? I could use a 10,000 character password to keep you out of my account, but wouldn't a complex short password be a hell of a lot more practical? Seems wasteful and kind of a cop-out. A "the bad guys have already won" kind of attitude

First I've ever heard of Microsoft ever copying Anything!

From the country that brought us the Spice Girls. No Thanks.
Not when they're launched 200 feet up in the air =)
Personally I preferred the old Judas Preist style, but hey...Diff'rent Strokes, Eh?

Apparently some of the original designers who died while working on it are embedded IN the hardware!
perhaps 'tis the Bantha you seek?
Hey just sent you an email to ask for an invite. Hope it works out. Thanks.
If they can do this, surely there's someone publishing a paper on "How to make a geiger counter from coconuts". At least I hope they are...
Actually it's Here.
Dunno...You feel a sharp pain anywhere?
According to the Mayan Calendar We'll only get a year to enjoy it!

but is there a device to track Olympic Weiners? I'm in Athens and I'm starving.
This place was referred to in the Wiki article via the link to HavenCo. HavenCo sounds like it's free of any type of outside infringement. Cool.

Dibs on Legolas. :-P
I'm loving the negative ons like this:

I have a metal plate in my head. Every time I use the microwave, I piss my pants and forget my name.
used to rock the house. Until the pedophile charges, that is. Oh wait...that was Gary Glitter. My Bad.
Sorry, my humor detector is busted today. Is it still Monday?
Wouldn't you need a 3-d display to actually see it in action? :)
