Also very interesting when watching "24". Even though it's shown on a commercial channel, with breaks, there are a lot less than in the US, so that every now and then, the time within the show suddenly accelerates...:)
More so in the UK - where it's shown on BBC2, which has no commercial breaks. It also seems somewhat short sighted given that the show ends up being released on DVD too.
.. or licence fee goes mainly to BBC1, the non-advertising supported channel. If you wanted to watch the advertising supported channels only, you still have to pay the licence fee.
Fucking clueless idiots - our pets are their tortured food. If anyone did that to my dog, I would torture them and feed their carcass to a large dog.
Because, of course, dogs being cute and fluffy and cows not being cute and fluffy puts them in a completely different league. Unless you're a vegetarian, it's pretty hypocritical to complain about people eating cats and dogs while regularly shoving cow parts down your jaded throat. Just because we've deigned a certain animal as a pet, it doesn't magically transcend to some level above cows and pigs. Meat is meat.
'Dude.. check this out. These squirrels totally shatter when you smash them against the bench!'
'Cool! Hasta la vista, Tufty!'
'Very cool.'
'So, what was supposed to be the aim of this experiment?'
'Beats me.'
.. to avoid the inevitable slew of 'but how fast does it run Quake?' gags. No doubt they'll be released later when Nvidia - sorry, I mean Samba will be accused of tweaking their software so as to get unfair benchmarking results.
The inevitable comedy 'PSAs' that will follow each episode of The Clone Wars. Jango Fett rescuing kids from a burning house, Obi Wan telling kids why it's bad to smoke and Yoda using his force powers to lift kids out of peril... 'Candy from Darth Sidious you must take not.'
Mind you, I'd much rather have a live action Knights of the Old Republic series.
Anyone else think we'll be seeing a hoax chain email soon saying.. 'If you get a text with subject x / from party x delete it as reading it will make your battery explode'?
Neutral terms such as ``prohibited copying'' or ``unauthorized copying'' are available for use instead.
Or the word 'backups' which appear to have euphamistically replaced the word 'pirate copy' in the warez arena. Often accompanied by some nonsensical claim about copied games being 'for backup purpose only'.
I mean, have you ever tried showing a sunglasses wearing future messiah the follies of his predecessors with just one 15 inch CRT? It's not half as impressive as a whole bank of monitors.
Every time I hear or read about space from news stories or published papers, it's always as though they're talking/writing about a thing, as though space had a physical presence.
It's called 'speculating wildly to get more research money'. It's one step above from 'making stuff up'.
OK, so he gets 471 years in prison. That's much more than he can ever serve
At the moment - maybe Super Gerosome will be invented forty years down the line and his life will be extended to the point where he can serve every damn day.
Jail time? That *does* seems harsh. Admittedly, Golden Age of the Grotesque is nowhere near as good as Holy Wood. But This Is The New shit is a good song to rock to and.. oh, you mean the *other* Manson.
Does anyone know why the protein was named after Sonic? The linked article doesn't really give any indication why that name was picked.
Because it has a nice *ring* to it? I look forward to Michael J Fox receiving his oscar for Back to the Future parts 4, 5 and 6 and thanking Sonic The Hedgehog for allowing him to return to his sterling acting career.
In an Alanis Morisette sense, that is. It'd be odd but entertaining if Eolas ended up doing more to stop the distribution of IE with Windows OSes than the US govt ever did.
We hear about it in October. Do I get the impression this is not being treated witha great deal of seriousness?
No surprise there. The only time I've ever seen a goverment 'watchdog' group do anything was when they took the franchise away from a region rail operator in the UK. By and large all they seem to do is go 'Stoppit. Or we'll cry.'

You are the the head of SCO, and I claim my five pounds.

Promoting violence? It sounded like he was trying to buy the Spammer's service, assuming the spammer operates some sort of dungeon facility..

So will mechs in Mechwarrior 5 start up with..
'Reactor - online. Weapons - online. Gigantic fat ass - online.'?

Well, maybe if they could rig up one of these electric shock devices in a mobile phone.

Then eat again, just to be sure?

Hey, even the Elder Gods are entitled to a kickabout...
