He would have been beaten all the armies by himself, not like Aragon who needs elves, dwarfs, wizards, and dead spirits....probably with just a snap of the hand or by banging against a giant gong. He would have just sent Richie Cunningham to drop the damn ring in the nearest middle earth dumpster while Postsie and Ralph Malph frolic in the woods. The one bad thing is that Fonzi probably would save Chachi and Joanie where as Aragon would kill them himself.
My cable provider (comcast) provides HD quality that's just as good as OTA and much better than the alleged HD programming proved by Directv. Even upscaled original (i.e. non-shrinked) DVDs though my line doubler don't look at good as quality HD signals (although some DVD transfers do come close). I'd complain to your cable company although we all know that seldom helps.
Give that bottle 3-5 years and it will be illegal at the current rate of DRM/"trusted computing". It may just be the start of the new era of bootlegging so that we can enjoy computers the way we use to. I'm thinking speakeasy.net would be a great sponsor here.
Nice to see the Subway is now sending images of Jared and those mouth watering tasty subs into the deep blue. They now have one new customer. Hopefully the video will answer if our eight legged, ink blotting friend likes mayo or mustard, and whole wheat or plain.
Ah...I do say, a group of people who are either insightful, informative, redundant, funny, or trolls. Clearly none of which exist in my current confines. Except for maybe that troll-faced Meg and the dog who is very funny when trying to put on his lipstick which also has become quite redundant.
I wonder if people think I suck or if they think I'm great?
So I guess he figured that while he was already taking away our freedoms and bypasing the Constitution and/or other institutions in place to help preserve our freedoms, what's one more little law.
And if you are able to get yourself out of an "old-fashion" phone both, you probably never will get selected.
I've been called three times and all three times dismissed. Observed (but not scientifically measured) features/traits of those almost immediately dismissed:
College grad and/or post grad. Self employeed business owners (i.e. people that have their own company and are their only employee). Already served on jury within some previous timeframe. Name doesn't match the name on the summons card (you'd be surprised).
In the one time I did make into the 2nd round so to speak, you really got a taste for what the lawyers and judge are looking for: People that will follow directions for the most part with no questions asked (usually the judge wants something like this) People who are easily manipulated or impressionable
Again, these latter impressions are not based on the jury pool I saw selected, but based on the questions the judge and lawyers presented to them.
As for not serving when called---
Since I am a small business owner and didn't want to serve for financial reasons (how can I be fair when it's costing me money and I'm the sole provider for my family--I'd want the fastest resolution), if you are not dismissed for that reason alone you just need to be ready to ask about "jury nullification" or tell the judge you are unable to fully follow his/directions on the law (tell the judge you learned in a civics class that you must not only judge the subject, but the law that is being applied as well)---that should get you dismissed fairly quickly based on what 2 other summoned jurors told me.
Not true in all cases....TVs, DVD players, VCRs---yes they work fine with out large amounts of ventilation in most cases. But I've read of many tivos overating...there are even cooling kits for it (google and you'll find it). Many other consumer electronics do require adequate ventilation and state so in their manuals (e.g. AV receiver, amps (especially A and B class), some satellite receivers and cable PVRs), but most consumers just don't know it until something goes wrong. Now granted, Joe Public may not have a A/V rack with a pre/pro, 7 monoblocks, and all the other watt draining goodness, but that comes back to my point. People need to be educated on how much heat some of these new toys can generate. Maybe MS needs to draw more attention to it than just a blurb in the manual. Maybe a giant yellow sticker/sheet of paper that needs to be removed by the consumer before use that clearly states (and shows since mot people won't read, but they will look at pictures) the ventilation requirements.
Microsoft sued over alleged Xbox 360 glitch [headline] "A Chicago man who bought Microsoft Corp.'s new Xbox 360 has sued the world's largest software maker, saying the new video game console has a design flaw that causes it to overheat and freeze up...."
My car has a glitch/design flaw as well. If I start it and leave the keys in the ignition and then get out of my car and lock the doors, I can't get back into my car without modding my car's window or calling in "experts" (legally registered tax paying business, or the type registered by the sheriff's department).
I have a 360 and it does run hot....they need to have proper ventilation, probably more so than any other computer or A/V component I've ever owned. I'm not sure how well the manual states this as I never read them (hey this is/., who reads manuals), but if you take a 360 a stuff in a location that doesn't have good air flow then I'm not surprised the unit is crashing. FWIW, I have mine in an open AV rack that has plenty of ventilation and I've had the thing on for over straight hours at one point and it didn't crash on me. Not all that time was playing games--the last 2+ hours of was playing it and MCE 2005, but when you can justify the purchase to the wife by streaming HD pr0n onto the HDTV, it's worth the time.
Now was it wise of MS/partners to design it this way (to run as hot as it does and require so much ventilation)? Who knows what their design specs say. But just image taking your tower PC, shrinking by a factor of 4-5 times and then cranking up the CPU/GPU full throttle and think about how much heat would be generated. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but owners of some of the new high powered high tech toys may need to be educated on how well this ptoys work as a space heater.

Just create a mobile home park within about a mile and you'll know exactly where a runaway tornado will go. Set up a net there, catch it and return it to its turbine cage. Maybe give the tornade a three strikes rule and after its third runaway, just turn it back to slow moving air, or threaten to send it to the jet stream in Canada because we know how much tornados hate the cold.
I find it hard to believe the forture 500 companies and the like are going to say "Let's use gmail" even if they have tons of shares in google. With all the litigation and IP wars going on, companies are going to want to carefully control what and where information is stored. I suppose corps could use their own internal web based email as opposed to "fat" clients, but IIRC Outlook/Exchange already have a web based interface...or at least they did a few years ago at a former company I worked.
For Joe Public, yeah, web based email will probably be were he/she eventually ends up, but for businesses it just seems to risky due to the lack for control and implicit trust you must have with the provider.

Most excellent, I didn't even know such a "tool" existed...thanks for the heads up.

The new DDos Tool. I remember when Homer used it to do his automated work for him in one epsiode of the Simpsons.
Sweeeeeeeet, but you get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me some pie!

Does he work for MS, Google, Apple, IBM? Did he contribute to the linux kernel or crack some DRM scheme? Is it a new web based framework like RoR?
