Yeah, I can't drink Barq's because I have to avoid caffiene. It does have more of a 'bite'/sharp flavor to it, whereas MUG is more of a sweet one, and A&W has a more creamy texture to it.
That and it's not the formula, it's the brand name. Pepsi would gain nothing from selling a pop that tastes like Coca Cola, because people would just continue to buy Coca Cola.
If I want a Pepsi, I buy them. Coke, I buy them. (I'm one of those weird people that drinks both.)
Nope. While there have been a couple of warm winters in Nebraska in my recent memory, there's also been some pretty hardcore-cold ones.
It all depends on how lucky/unlucky we get with the timing of weather. For instance, if it's cold enough to produce snow while storms can pick up a lot of energy from the south, we'll get dumped on with snow. That snow will cool down the air enough so that all future storms will just continue to add onto the top of it. Cold winter.
Warm winters, either it doesn't quite get cold enough and we just get a bunch of rain at the start. When it does snow, it's too warm for it to stick around, so it either melts or washes away.
Either winter, the nights are still cold as all get out. They're getting pretty cold right now. My A/C is barely turning itself on now.

Somebody I know had this happening to them, turning off the malware/phishing site definition files being downloaded fixed this (it downloads a new file about every 3 seconds if you look at about:network)
Hardware sales don't equal software sales.
The epicly gigantic PS2, DS, and Wii userbase (mostly the PS2) sell tons of software through saturation alone. Sell 2,000 copies on Xbox or GameCube? Port it to PS2 and you could automatically get at least 10,000 sales.
FYI, if you don't plan on playing online, the same key will work to install Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2. (I only say this since you are allowed 2 instances of a key online at the same time, and installing both games with one will end up with 4..)
On the bright side, after installing from Decade a lot of the games don't require the disc to be in the drive anymore.
I didn't kill my argument by saying he used a book as his foundation. While he used it as a base, and it was present in the room, it was not required for the class. He was actually a teacher that did his job and wrote his own lessons instead of copypasting from goverment cheat sheets and showing up to collect a paycheck.
Or maybe they'll make not-visible tabs be marked as 'idle', allowing the OS to page them out or use their cycles for something else, rather than a monolithic browser keeping a single process constantly active rendering things in each tab?
Do your job for once and write a curriculum like every homeschooling parent must do? Because your teacher's union has blocked the aftermarket sale price of all textbooks?
My C++ teacher had a big book on C++, but all of his lessons were obviously custom written. He just used the book as a foundation.
Actually, I've been thinking about this for a while too. A compromise between "NO COPYRIGHT!" and "COPYRIGHT FOREVER!"
First, we drop copyright back to something a bit more modern but still reasonable. Say, 20 years from the point of creation. This gives enough time for the copyrighted work to see most of the income it'll ever get for the creator.
But, for certain 'legacy' copyrights, we can grant National Protected Copyright status to. This would be something like how the Library of Congress chooses to preserve certain films. The company that wants to be protected would file an application containing the following:
1) Why it is believed their copyrighted character/work is a recognized national treasure 2) What works of theirs they want under this application. All of these works must have been registered for a minimum of 15 years.
If the application is successful, the copyrighted work then belongs to the government at the end of the 20 years, who licenses it back to the applicant and charges maintenance/filing fees. After this, the government still has a legal way to crack down on counterfeiting operations, and the company no longer has to waste money defending their work. Also, if a company starts acting out of line, Congress can say "Hey, quit that shit or we're going to end your legacy copyright", much like they hold revoking monopoly exemptions on the NFL/MLB when they start taking things for granted. On the other hand, the government is also not going to waste money persuing small time copyright infringement.
If the company ever files for bankruptcy or otherwise goes under, their copyright is released into the public domain.
There'd be a lot more stuff to work out related to this, but I think some sort of special copyright status that can be assigned would be a heck of a lot better than just universally locking -everything- up for 100+ years.
Most of the games attached to it I can't even run yet, and there's also the fact that the account is so old it's permanently attached to my old hotmail address. There's no way for me to unhook the email from it.
Both Trick My Truck and Pimp My Ride (done by the same people) do engine work in addition to the body renovations.
They started making a bigger deal out of it in PMR recently because people kept constantly asking about it.
There was even a PMR episode where instead of renovating the car, they got the guy a new one because he was studying to be a mechanic and they wanted him to keep it as his 'thesis'. (They've had to get a completely new car a couple of other times. Those just aren't as interesting, but I thought it was cool that they did that nonetheless)
The annoying thing about new Pimp My Rides is the GAS guys have barely any personality, and for some reason the hands-free cameras they are using have horrible sound. They're also starting to show less and less of the actual process:(
It's not always fun to be old school. Every time I go online in a Source engine game, people always look up my Steam ID and constantly harass me with offers to buy it (it's 4 digits).
We've also noticed over the past few years that a lot of Californians are moving to Nebraska. Unfortunately, the hardcore California ganges are coming with them, but the police aren't backing down from them as they have no connections here.

Actually Warren Buffett is giving away most if not all his money, shutting out his kids from a lot of it.
He also still drives his 57 Chevy.

Nebraska is an at-will state. We sensibly keep it around.
Amber Alerts are not allowed for custody battles. Sadly, this would mean one would be announced every single day and the effectiveness would be lost.
It's also not usable on runaways over 15 years old.
Pepsi is sweeter, and Coke has a bit more of a.. bite? chemical taste? whatever?
Yeah, just drink whatever's cheaper.
Remarkably, you can tell more a difference between what is supposedly the same 'flavor' (Root Beer) between MUG, A&W, and Barq's..

It might be a state law. I know for a fact that you cannot have sturgeon in Nebraska, as it's endangered here.
But are you a bad enough dude?
Animal Crossing Wii (Animal Crossing: City Folk) will have online voice chat.
I've probably requested that 3 times.
I've never gotten a single CD.
You'd honestly be better off buying it at Best Buy or download+burning..

Misunderstanding on both sides. On some DVD players, they'll note that it's compatible with both -/+ burned discs.
I mean to say most of the games on accounts people offer me I can't even run yet.
