That's got to be one of the most wimpy robots ever. Why can't I get the T-800 from Terminator? I would happily have either the fleshed up Austrian look or the skinless metal skeleton with the glowing red eyes. Why do these robot researchers think that I want the pansy-bot?
If we expect soldiers to risk their lives in service to this country, they have every right to expect their lives won't be thrown away for nothing. It shows a lack of respect to endanger them, then ignore them when they need our help.
Do you know the term "cannon fodder"? The guns get bigger but the people doing the planning don't get any smarter.
I would just read it for the articles, but for some reason, all the good sites that have women buggering dead donkeys with strap-ons don't seem to have *any* articles. Where's the informed commentary, the interesting interviews? What is the world coming to?
that's exactly what i was thinking...don't let your anti-MS stance blind you to what they're doing...what if MS stumbles upon a cure for cancer...you just gonna ignore it, because MS discovered it???
If MS discovered a cure for cancer it would lead me to think that MS had also invented cancer (or more likely, bought the company that made it).
Excuse me for saying so, but what a cop-out! You're just accepting the way the world works, and walk away from the system. But guess what: you can have reasonable privacy and a car, a house and the other luxuries.
I don't have a car, but I don't have any privacy either. What am I doing wrong??
Now I have switched my trust to Star Wars again and I am crossing my fingers and hoping that the name won't be something like: "Star Wars III - Jar Jar Binks Chronicles."
I can save you the trouble, you give me the money for a movie ticket and I will kick you in the balls. You'll enjoy it just as much as the next star wars flick, and you can enjoy it now!
What you want is a TiVo. Since I got that a few months ago, I'm watching more tv than ever.
Unfortunately, as I live in Australia, the TiVo is not an 'out of the box' solution. You can make them work, but it's not easy and the results are not supported.
Holy shit! I see a mouse wandering around inside the computer!
Believe me, it's better that you can *see* the mouse as opposed to *smelling* the cooked mouse coming out the back of the machine (friend of mine who taught computing - this was in the computer lab).
On the subject of rodents, another friend of mine has a pet rabbit as part of her household. One day 'sniffy' escaped it's hutch and decided to gnaw through every cable going into the computer (barring the power cord, unfortunately). My friend was not amused. The rabbit was soundly kicked.
We are talking about a huge bureaucracy here, one that has procedures established. These guys bucked the procedures and did something different, rather than doing the safe and expected thing. I can well believe that this took guts
Radio stations in the U.S. have long used statistics from ("illegal") P2P downloading services to influence what they play. Some have admitted it publicly. I think the industry is far more in bed with the "illegal" downloading services then they, or the RIAA would like to admit.
They can have their cake and eat it too. This is just plain smart.
Not that many people place Long distance data calls on land lines. Some geek BBS'ers but their pretty rare in this age of telenet. So there'd be very very little disruption of normal service.
Call a fax line lately? That unpleasant screeching on the line is the modem in the fax machine trying to handshake. Your proposed solution wouldn't work because whilst data is not that common anymore, fax is everywhere.
On my PBX (the company I work for just paid for it as far as I am concerned. IT'S MINE!) I got constant complaints about the original music (royalty free crap that came with the CD player). Everyone was happy to complain, but no one was interested in offering any solutions. So, I downloaded the remixes of the Signs movie
soundtrack and put them on the PBX. Six weeks later, one of the management lackies comes around to complain to me. I told him to get stuffed and I've played whatever I've liked since.

Kill'em all, let God decide.

Someone hasn't been paying very much attention, have they?
Oh why even bother? It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

Star Trek XI: Bergman gone wild!
Catch the insane action when our cameras find the hottest trekkie college girls doing things they never taught you in school.

If they really cared about the environment, they'd go nuclear. Whingeing greenies need to wake up and smell the coffee.
This is like saying: "Why pay for sex when you have a right hand?"

Went back to the office, got my final check, and of course, didn't mention anything to the boss.
To this day, I still feel bad about it...
But not as bad as if you had told the truth ...
Do you know what a "Magician's choice" is?
Today's radicals are tomorrow's conservatives.

I'd watch more TV if it did all of the following:
Watching TV on my computer lets *me* control the medium, not the other way around. My time is valuable, why waste it on crap I'm not interested in?
Turn the TV off and go for a walk!
Paper based media is obsolete.

Ask the RIAA/MPAA, I'm sure they'll have an opinion.
Bloody hell, why can't they just cast Contact Deep One like the rest of us?
