Hasn't this guy ever heard of tennis, golf, foootball, etc etc. These are activities that require much more that swinging a remote control around and yet every day thousands of people voluntarily go out and perform them. In the case of golf and some others they even pay.
Am I the only person that thinks someone else should do The Hobbit? I really like Jacksin's LOTR but I think it would be nice to see what another director could do. After all just because he did a great job doesn't mena there isn't any number of other filmakers who could do just as good.
Doing something like this is fairly minor. When a company like Nintendo, who has a history of not being evil, does it people are willing to forgive them. It's like if a really nice guy gets caught telling a little white lie, no big deal.
But Sony has a history of evilness so people are harsher on them.
So you can do mental math, fantastic. But generalising about school children is dangerous. You hang out on slashdot so it's fairly safe to assume you're some kind of nerd and use math in some way on a fairly regular basis. But think about all the people you went to school with. How many of them weren't nerds and didn't go into fields where being able to quickly estimate a sum weren't important? So I bet if you go talk to them they aren't very good at estimating either.
I just finished teaching a summer of computer camp and guess what? Nerd children are good at mental math the same way nerd adults are.
It's not a generational thing, it's a aptitude/vocational thing.
If you can talk continuously about nothing at all and go on and on for hours without even accidently saying something funny then you can make a comfortable living on morning radio.
I work in Seattle. There's so many that you don't even see 'em. It's like trying to pickout individual grains of sand on a beach, from a hot air balloon.
We always use my inlaw's club card. The data has to look pretty funny as it would all be concetrated in two stores many miles apart and with very different buying habits.
You're telling me. I bought a cheap alarm clock at radio shack and the screen is lit by blue leds bright enough to read by. Nothing like a floodlamp next to your head while you're sleeping.
Having said what in did in my other post I'd like to add that I absolutely agree with you. If I woke up tomorrow and saw proof that global warming was not happening I'd still be all for environmental responsibility.
Global warming could affect the current generation. Think about low laying areas like Venice, The Netherlands, Florida, the Amazon River Basin and many thousands of populated islands in the Pacific.
My apartment overlooks a major shipping port and industrial/manufacturing area (the Port of Tacoma and the Tacoma Tideflats as well as Fife Washington) if you wanna see some light pollution you should come over sometime.
Oh well though, my 10' dob cuts through all that fairly well if I'm feeling to lazy to drive out to the boonies and just wanna drag it out onto the balcony.

I know pleny of golfers with sizable beer bellies, same goes for bowling.

Wow that's interesting. I don't think I ever would have known that otherwise thanks a bunch.
I was born in 1980 so i get a lot of that stuff. But why couldn't a weather man host a kids show now? Am i missing something?
1988 was 18 years ago.
I'm afraid that the whole snakes on a plane thing is already deader than dogshit. But I agree wholeheartedly with your sig.
That's the whole point of course.

And now I know. Gracias.
What's taped out?
He is clearly an "idiot" as defined by his own system. And I am clearly a pedantic bastard as defined by you.
I understand that. But I also understand that a lot of large companies don't bother to listen to their customers at all.
Or maybe they are just listening.

And thus was yet another meme born.
Pilot also makes disposable fountain pens. Tons of fun.
There are lots of glider pilots who use small compressed air or gasoline engines to take off and then switch to glide mode once airborne.
