If you live in a flood plain, you can expect to get flooded... period. If you live near a major earthquake fault, as I do, you can expect the big one.. period. Plan on it. Unfortunately, most people don't. Plan that is. Mother Nature always bats last.
Please don't tell these idiots about the solar neutrino flux passing through their children's bodies every day. There is absolutely no proof that these neutrinos don't cause autism.
For the welfare of everyone else, anyone who uses the words "branding strategy" on a regular basis should be forcibly relocated to some sort of leper island.
True words! I can't tell you how many times I have fixed the screwed up formatting of a Word document by saving the stupid thing as ASCII text and starting the whole formatting process over. Even knowing how to find hidden section breaks etc. doesn't always help. Word formatting is just evil.
Wasn't Thunderbolt and Lightpeak a really bad film?
Well, yes, but the part where they're hitchhiking and get picked up by the guy with the caged badger in the back seat is good. Especially when he runs off the road, starts throwing bunnies out of the trunk and blazing away at them with a shotgun. That shit was so bizarre, you just know it had to have actually happened to one of the writers. Even with the best drugs available at the time, nobody could make that up. For the uninitiated: Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges. I actually think it's a pretty good film.
Using a program that can talk to your modem, send the command "ATDT 555-1234" (or whatever number).
Ahhh, the nostalgia of the AT command set. The simple joys of writing custom mode init strings into your.bat files. The pleasure of automating downloads of bbs forum posts with Telix.
Seriously, anybody over thirty could do this in their sleep, if they owned a computer in the late 80s or 90s.
>WRONG. LE needs a warrant for anything on your phone. And if LE wants the locations of the cell towers you've used, along with direct triangulation of your position, they can serve a warrant to your provider.
You are flat out wrong on this, Grasshopper. At least in California, the police can search your mobile phone device without a warrant, according to a recent California Supreme Court decision. Anything on your phone is fair game for the cops without a warrant. I imagine that this will get appealed to the US Supreme Court, but if the rather liberal California court doesn't see a Fourth or Fifth Amendment right here, I can just imagine what Scalia et al.will do.
Other character has a gun and is shooting at me? Light that sucker up. Moral considerations are for later when you're cleaning your weapon, something that always seems to be left out of these games.
This niche has already been taken over by GoPro Video Cams. (I don't work for them and don't own one.) These things were all over the slopes this winter. I saw a lot of them attached to the end of ski poles being used to shoot both the owner and other boarders or skiers. Shooting Junior doing something cute in the house is fine with your smart phone, but out in the real, messy world, I want something a bit more rugged and waterproof. A hundred bucks for the SD model, and $180 for the HD version. Add another hundred for the versions that attach to your surfboard, ski helmet, motorcycle, submarine, etc. Shoots 1080P at 30fps. SD card memory expansion. Very cool device in my opinion.
The only point I ever saw for them was the coolness factor. That was back in the 1980s, though.
Cool was having a top-of-the-line log-log slide rule with leather case. I had a Pickett 500 until some asshole stole it out of the biochem lab. Then I moved up to a
to K+E log-log decitrig. That was back in the 1960s, though. Get off my lawn.
True as far as it goes, but the teaching of both creationism and "intelligent design" has been ruled to be violating the anti-establishment clause. So the law might stand, but it will not protect anyone from the consequences of teaching creationism in public school.
The anti-establishment clause of the First Amendment to the US constitution still trumps state law. Since the US Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that Creationism, "intelligent design", etc. are religious doctrine, they still cannot be taught in public school science classes, even in Tennessee. Just because this bill says they are not promoting religious doctrine doesn't make it so. If this passes, it will get tossed out as violating established constitutional law.

>Microsoft developers feel left in the dark and very angry at the way they are being treated.
I thought that was the normal state of affairs for MS developers.
Both simalies, genius.
That would be "simile" not "simalie", genius.
In San Francisco, we call a real hot day out of nowhere "some time in October".
And, by "real hot" you mean 71 F?

Premium SyFy? Hell no! But a Zombie Channel? Now there's something I could sink my necrotic teeth into!
Maybe a mini-series where the SyFy staff and execs are holed up in their office building, fending off attacks by a world gone zombie.
That makes the zombies the good guys, right? I'm OK with that, but it would have to be a milieu where zombies don't suck brains, for obvious reasons.
It's the new version of Archie.
Already commented here, or I would mod this way up.

That's been done. It was called Lost.
How odd it is to see the phrases "Excellence in Journalism" and "Drudge Report" in the same sentence.

.bat files? Is that from some bastard version of vms or something?
lol
Yeah, it's output of the copy con text editor.

Raleigh? Charlotte? Aren't they somewhere in all that nasty stuff east of Lake Tahoe? :-)
Choosing between AT&T and Comcast is like choosing between leprosy and Aids.

Judging from the name, I guess more likely Mexican coffee.

Who cares what T does when we have VM?
Virgin Mobile doesn't seem to exist within a 500 mile radius of where I live. Not much help.
I just don't understand why anyone would use ATT's shitty service when there is one that is so very much better that is readily available.
There is. I use it and like it a lot. We call it T-Mobile. Other than that, no GSM around here. Oh wait....
