I have infrequent headaches, but after I googled "scintillating scotoma", the descriptions seem very accurate, though I've never had it occur with a migraine.
Thanks to all you guys who've replied with useful information! I'll go get checked.
sometimes, I get this point of "light" in the middle of my field of vision, which expands into a lightning shaped halo, for lack of a better description, until it goes in all directions beyond my field of vision completely...

I can still see but the presence of this phenomenon is so distracting, I can't do anything until it's gone.
Thank goodness it doesn't happen very often... does anyone have a clue what it could be?

We could harness the power of the slashbots by having them sit on stationary bicycle power generators, and use that electricity to electrolyse water!
We could probably also set up some kind of methane collector seat to increase the efficiency of the system.
Just imagine all that untapped energy stored as fat that we could use for the benefit of all mankind!
oranges.
If violent video games created a more violent society, then internet pronography would create a more sexual society, no?
Yet look how prudish the US society has become since the 60s and early 70s.
They need good plots!
I mean, look what they did to Fantastic Four...
that the Phantom console has been waiting for!
Haven't you read or watched 2001 A Space Odyssey?
Hint: I made a joke based on that.
not to mention the risk that their onboard computer might go nuts and kill the crew...
In TFA
loss of fertility and genetic defects in their children
They could always get their eggs/sperm sampled and frozen before the trip.
they would declassify their UFO-captured technology, we could be zipping around the solar system by now for pretty cheap!
You wouldn't happen to be this pretentious ass, would you? (hint: use IE to go to that site)

So what's next?! An Apple-made OS on a PC?
Oh wait!
the Wall of Sheep and I immediately thought, 1-2-3-4-5? That's amazing! I have the same combination on my LUGGAGE!!
Given that WiFi using people are mostly male geeks, it's going to turn the business and the surrounding area into a "sausage fest".

How are we supposed to plant RFID tags on the thousands of criminals criminals who sneak across the border everyday
Remote-control RFID tagging gun turrets!

How much would it cost to off a Russian spammer?
One ticket please. Aisle seat.
Now why would they want us to think Apple only had 1 building
It's not Microsoft's doing.
I read in alt.conspiracy that Apple is working on stealth shingle/roofing technology.
When this tech comes out, I'm gonna make me a hat out of that material.
