I suppose if anything, the *two* cameras installed at that corner might make it easier to catch the guy who decided to gun down a 13, 15 and 17 year old with an assault rifle. But I would surprised if any public official still makes the claim of deterrence.
Realistically, even if all the MS stores did was set up an XBox corner and drove traffic to it by hosting a continuous Halo tournament, that would be a success.
Microsoft should focus on what works really well in these stores; the 360 is one of those things.
"25 States allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the street with no permit of any kind: some say it's crazy. However, 4 out of 5 U.S. murders are committed in the other half of the country: so who is crazy?" - Andrew Ford
Is this because 4 out of 5 people live in the 25 states where you do need a permit?
Ordinarily, I would complain about the battery, but I have to admit, in almost 10 years of owning Macbooks and Powerbooks, I have never bought a replacement battery.
Which makes me wonder further just how much I should value a user-serviceable battery.
I'm not about to re-test the concept, but my Wii once tipped over when it was playing a game, and the disc inside survived. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a little scratch on the disc as a result of that, because it made a nasty high-pitched plastic-on-plastic noise when it did that.
Ditto when I accidentally tip the Macbook when I'm getting up and there's a disc spinning inside of it.
That said, none of the discs in the above two devices were rendered "permanently unplayable" or otherwise unreadable, so the question is, does that make this lawsuit legit?
Normally I would bring up something about how this would affect the composition and pacing of an album as a whole, but this being Weird Al... that probably factors less into his decision.
The original poster may have been referring to the fact that Ronald Reagan, the original Gipper, also failed to fund the U.S. Ninja/Giant Tortoise Defense Initiative.
Just watched the The Dark Knight. The fact that it took me an extra hour to go to sleep because I was thinking about it so much counts for a lot.:-)
Anyways, the wife and I went on Sunday at 8:15 PM. The theater was 15-20% full. No noise problems or chairs kicked for us.
If all movies were this intelligent, I'd see them more. (WALL-E is next.) (Also, we spent about the same amount of money to watch the double-featured Get Smart and Kung-Fu Panda at the nearest drive-in. The picture and sound quality weren't nearly as good as an indoor theater, but the price was right.)
According to TFA, getting rid of phosphorus is the only way to eliminate algae blooms. Getting rid of carbon and nitrogen is useless. The guy happens to have 37 years of data backing him up.
The less money spent on getting nitrogen out of the water, the more money spent on getting phosphorus out of the water. Assuming that's even economical... it's probably far easier eliminating it from the source(s).
That's not how I always interpreted it... in the Tony Rezko case, his friends and family posted his bail by mortgaging *their* houses. (Needless to say, an enormous level of trust was needed there.) If Rezko fled the country, his friends and family would have lost their homes.
Since he got convicted, I'm not entirely sure what happened to the bond. I assume it got returned.
If you post the standard 10% for release, he could possibly come up with the $500,000. By mortgaging any property he owns, he just might be able to get that.
The bigger deal is that I guess they think he's a flight risk.
The book never says it, but the short end of the story is that Jobs would be where he is without Woz. The opposite is also true, but to a much lesser extent.
Having played with the Wii for a year and change now, I can say that with regard to motion, the Wiimote seems to be good at detecting motion in the middle of its range, but lacking at the ends of the range.
Case in point: putting in Wii Golf. The learning curve for putting is fairly steep, and sometimes the game got confused with such low velocities. The MotionPlus should help that.
What will be interesting is what happens with actual swordfighting. If you complete a sword swing, but your opponent blocks it, the game will have to resolve the situation by... what? It's not an impossible problem, but it'll still be something new to get used to.
Actually, Charlie tells them what they've won. Vanna plays the part of "Jerry Springer's insightful monologue" at the end, except less controversial, less insightful, and it's actually a dialogue with Pat.
Should humans someday find that living to 1,000 as "normal" (through genetic advances, let's say), there will certainly be some that would prefer to live to 750, 500 or 100. Do you find it ethical to provide them an "early ticket"?
...at least rewrite the summary in your own words, rather than directly plagiarizing from the article. Besides, without the first paragraph of the article, the summary makes no sense. Just ask Jemella what?
I was wandering around the Internet and stumbled upon this page... NIMBY is actually a problem in... oh... rural Illinois.
The real estate figures are mostly hyperbole, as it doesn't take into account that there's sort of a housing market recession in progress, and a house on 5 acres for $319,000 *still* sounds high. But that is an awkward picture on that page.
...here. For the main page, google "wind map [state]". The area where the turbines will be built ranks good-to-excellent.
It's interesting to note that most of the wind maps agree that offshore is the best place to stick a wind turbine. If you've ever stood by the ocean, there's always a stiff sea breeze coming from the ocean onto the land.

What's the over/under on the length of time before the labels switch back to 99 cent pricing? I'm going to guess about 3 weeks.
Roughly the amount of time it took to pull Tropicana out of its nosedive. Yes, music industry; 99 cents per song is (was) your brand.
Exhibit A; this happened yesterday:

Everything you do pisses everyone off, equally!
Really, I'm just withholding comment until some form of long-term context is established.

Agree. I can't wait to see where World of Goo goes, a game better than most in 2008 made by a team of... 3.
My wife's the accountant, so I can't comment about Sarbanes-Oxley myself.
Yes, it was after the Wii tipped over the first time that I discovered what the convenient clear plastic disc was for... :-D

Are you a proponent of assisted suicide?
