Theres a difference between being drunk and really, really drunk though. When I'm drunk I may want to hook up with whatever woman is around, but when I'm really really drunk I just want to crawl into a corner and pass out - like when I wake up in the morning.
I assume its a pair of speakers you can hook your iPod up to in order to listen to it while in the room and maybe even charge it as well - I can't imagine it has anything to do with actually downloading music. Kind of a nice feature, actually - like hotels that come with CD players in the room.
Both Blockbuster AND Netflix will ultimately lose - to on-demand cable, which doesnt require you to have to return anything, even as far as dropping something in a mailbox.
As technoloy gets better, we are discovering more and more moons around the planets in our solar system. But, I don't think a good definition of what constitutes a "moon" is out there - after all, we are now capable of detecting small rocks, etc. orbiting around bodies and depending on how small you define a moon to be, there are essentially an infinite number of moons around every planet (just like there are essentially an infinite number of "planets" orbiting the sun. Witness the recent controversy around Pluto - is it a planet? Just a big asteroid? And what about the object circling around Pluto - is that big enough to be truely called a moon?
Yes, 99% of the time I use Safari on the Mac. But certain sites REQUIRE IE - financial sites for example, and most importantly when I go to Starbucks to use their internet I need to launch IE in order to get my iBook to recognize their network (I'm sure plenty of folks will now respond and tell me that is not necessary, there is some other way - and I'm sure there is - but thats what works for me)
Well you know, once you turn 40 you are legally protected (in the US) against age discrimination, so if you can prove they fired you because of your age you might have a case.
64K of memory? Our Commodore PETs had only 8k. I think after I graduated they got the upgraded 32k versions - not sure if they were ever capable of 64K.
Your joking, right? I was in College 23 years ago, and believe me there was a well established CS program then. In fact, you can probably go back to the 1950s and 1960s when Univeristies were churning out Mainframe Programmers in COBOL and FORTRAN.
I'm 41, a former programmer, and thats where I am - getting my MBA (and currently managing development outsourced to India). A good friend of mine has left the development world and gone back to Law School. Not an uncommon story.
Assuming this is not a troll - do you really want your spaceport built in an area below sea level that is prone to hurricanes? And if you read the article, you would see that having the high altitude in New Mexico was another key factor in keeping launch costs down.
Low population density = cheap land. Not to mention plenty of room to grow and fewer legal hurdles, complaining residents, etc. Imagine trying to build a spaceport in Manhattan!
According to "TFA", it takes 30 months for patents to be approved, and they havent even started looking at it yet. Right now it sounds like this is all "just in case we want to do this some day in the far future". Not Stuff that Matters.
Loitering is not a right - it's a crime. You don't have the "Right" to commit a crime. The shopkeeper is not preventing them from coming into his store.
III was pretty much an embarassment. All I remember from that is the superman getting drunk in bar and flinging peanuts at super-speed. And of course, the infamous "Superman III scam" to make money off of rounding errors that was referenced in the movie Office Space.

I'm like that as well. That's why God invented coffee.
Already saw this on that rival web site - no digg!

Read the post again - $200 a month for tech gadgets, not $200 for internet service.
No - since the movie "Serenity" was pretty much a failure at the box office.
Actually, his intended audience is people who know what IS stands for, so he is not leaving them by the roadside at all.

I believe their slogan was "All the sugar and twice the caffeine". Real sugar was never mentioned in their adverstising.
Slashdot has nothing to fear from digg. I registered a week ago, and am still waiting for my confirmation email to allow me to log on.
Royalties are profits for the artists, but costs for Apple. Thats why they make very little on each song even at 99 cents.
Except, there are fixed AND variable costs to the songs sold online - variable costs in the form of royalties for each song.

Ummm - not quite. After all, Lex Luthor is supposed to be smart.
