Of course! 180 doubled is 348! No wonder they're always double-posting stories--they must be using some smaller value of 2, so they can never tell when the number of stories with the same topic has actually reached 2.
I suspect that this will do wonders for those who read in the bathroom. Now, if you drop your book into the tub or the toilet, your book won't be destroyed. Of course, not knowing how much more this would cost than paper makes it difficult to say how widespread it would be. (Yeah, yeah, rtfa... I know. Kinda hard when it's down.) More likely, this will find its way into industrial manuals, so as to prevent damage in paper-hazardous environments.
"So, Bubs... how's it coming?" "Oh, hey Strong Bad. I think I'm almost finished. It took me a little while to figure out what I was gonna do. Then I duct taped an alarm clock to your VCR!" "Duct taped an alarm clock to the VCR. See, I never woulda thought of that. Ok, there's some hairs that are seemed to be stuck in the duct tape here. Was that on purpose?" "Oh. No. That's just left over from my first idea, which was to duct tape The Cheat to your VCR. He wasn't into that." "Oh, I coulda told you that, man. Well anyways, thanks for your help, Bubs... and thank you, Cory Dewey-Smith. Sooo... join us next week when we'll be duct taping clocks to all kinds of different stuff."
Ah, so I wasn't doing it to watch it early, I was doing it to criticize it. Look at that little flower in scene 47! It should've been pink, not yellow! I'm disgusted.
You MONSTER! Do you know how much it costs to care for and feed a puppy? And you'd inflict this financial burden on poor orphans?
You're sick SICK SICK!!!
Neverminding where you're going to find all those orphans to pay for the puppies in the first place. Next time, try using cash instead--not as portable, but more commonly accepted.
I think the best part of the evening was when we attempted to/. the bar by ordering everything simultaneously, and then repeating our orders three or four times when they didn't come fast enough.
Just as a side note, Dave Arneson's website can be found here. However, it's hosted on my very own little server (a P133), so please be nice.:)
Available there is quite a bit of information about the origins of role-playing from Dave Arneson's perspective, as well as references to other role-playing sources.
Lucasfilm has made them even more powerful than they could ever have imagined.

The problem with subscription-based software

Goodbye, "Majestic"

This exemplifies the primary problem with subscription-based software, that being that now you have all these people who paid money for a game THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO PLAY AGAIN. EA might not think it was successful enough to continue, but for those who enjoyed the game this is almost as good as simply writing a check to EA to say "thanks for being EA!".
Additionally, any software retailers who carry this just got screwed, since the software which might normally be available to be sold later (albeit at a discount price) just lost 100% of its value.
If Mars gets enough CO2 to support a plant atmosphere, then it's not terribly unlikely that we could try to start terraforming the planet. All we'd need is to find a nice little phytoplankton-type algae that'll thrive there, and before you know it we'd be able to produce a breathable atmosphere.
Of course, we'd have to find a goodly source of N, but there's probably enough of that elsewhere on the planet that could be freed up in other ways.
The alternative, of course, would be to cross-breed plants and humans so that they'd use a chlorophyl-based metabolism instead of the current human-based solutions. Then, they'd be able to breath and metabolize the CO2 in much the same way that we do O2.
With the change in diet that would be necessitated, I expect that such plant-human mixtures would be several feet shorter than your average human.
More to the point, we'd have to create little green men and invade Mars.
This means that I can write a clone that self-replicates but has the same signature, and...voila! A single copy sent to Norton and another sent to McAffee and we'll see how fast they turn around.
I can't speak for Asus's laptops, but I found the Dell Inspiron 8100 to be quite tasty. 15" UXGA (1600x1200) screen, 32mb GeForce2Go, both a touchpad AND a nub, and the internal mini-pci was even supported in BeOS!
Of course, they're not cheap at ~$2400 maxed out, but so worth it if you're looking for top o' the line.
Though, (and this holds for any laptop manufacturer) you should really shop around for laptop memory instead of having the manufacturer install it. To have Dell max out my laptop (at 512mb PC133 SoDIMM's) would be over $600, but when I ordered the memory myself, I only paid $120. Sure, I had to take a screwdriver to it, but I figure that it was more than worth the $500 I saved by doing it myself.
I'm sure it'll all run perfectly well until some idiot starts hitting the "tornado" and "fire" buttons over and over again. They'll probably even end up destroying that Mayor's Statue I had to work so hard to get.

I'm totally modding my PC now so I can play burned LucasArts games!
Oh, wait.
Then again, I'm using Lynx, so it might be tricky for them to stop me.

My all-time favorite error message was this, encountered while emptying the recycle bin:
"Unable to delete files due to insufficient disk space. Try deleting some files to free up more disk space."
Ah, so I wasn't doing it to watch it early, I was doing it to criticize it. Look at that little flower in scene 47! It should've been pink, not yellow! I'm disgusted.
You can take the red pill if you want, but ultimately you'll regret not having taken the blue pill.
That's just the way it goes.

Which is how I orignally read that. Hooray for proofreading how headlines will appear!
I think the best part of the evening was when we attempted to /. the bar by ordering everything simultaneously, and then repeating our orders three or four times when they didn't come fast enough.
Just thought I'd drop in while I'm at the meetup to say that this was a fantastic idea.
Now, how smart it was for the bar to include computers for us to post on is up for debate.
Good to meet you all!
I once recieved an error message that read: "Unable to delete files due to lack of disk space. Try deleting unneeded files to free up more space."
Good to know that we always get current news with Slashdot.
I think I'll submit my story about dinosaur extinction now.
Oh great... now you're going to slashdot slashdot.
