Budweiser really is pisswater, man. It sure as hell isn't the obvious choice for me. Given the choice I'll go for a Sam Adams, Bass, Heineken, or (GOD FORBID I GO FOR QUALITY!) Weihenstephaner every time.
Sure, though, if your only aim is to get drunk by drinking massive amounts of alcohol extremely quickly, Bud is great.
And in what fucking universe do you live in where Starbucks is CHEAP?
I see. I am also growing to understand that I know absolutely nothing about college sports organizations. What is the significance of / difference between conferences and divisions?
Does this imply somehow that those games don't "count?" I think I don't understand the concepts of how they organize games of one school against another - ladders, etc. - and what the significance of them are.
Is it possible yet to buy gem grade diamonds for jewelry from those two manufacturers that have figured out how to do it? That way I get a good bargain and don't have to support deBeers.
I'm glad those articles weren't the knee-jerk "NUKE-YOU-LAR BAD" type of Luddite FUD you normally see associated with the Chyornobyl incident. It seems a lot of people like to try and use it as an example of how nuclear energy is too dangerous for public use.
Get a personal trainer and learn how to exercise correctly. You will more than likely find yourself becoming more addicted to it than your Bawls - and your gaming performance will probably get better, not to mention performance at work.
Especially since the problem with adventures tends to be that financing them is somewhat prohibitive. He at least has the promise of SOME money coming to him for his work. If I knew I was changing jobs I'd totally go for this.
In the States we have almost an overabundance of the tiny, store-installed kind that use only a dial-up line to communicate with the banks. These can take up to a minute and a half to complete a transaction. It's kind of funny, you can hear the modem clicking on and off the hook in the back.
We don't have these multimedia ATMs you're talking about, though. At least not in the little store-installed kind. Some of our bigger banks have these amusing ones that converse with you, but they seem to be pretty quick.
Incidentally, yours has to be the longest first post (legitimate one, not copy-pasted crapflood) I've ever seen. Kudos.
"The dumber it is, the more religiously you should follow it, and make darned sure that all of your buddies fall in line with the company's new direction as well."
When you do this, you set yourself up to be pointed out as "the one who decided to be stubborn." Take it from me, I've seen it happen to people plenty of times where I work. Being a smart-ass in this way does not get anyone anywhere.
Hardware detection seems like a pretty important difference to me. I guess it doesn't to you because you probably know intimate details about every piece of hardware installed in your machine.
Some of us, though, like to be able to install an OS and have IT tell US about the hardware in our machines. GUI installation doesn't really do anything for me, on the other hand.
I like FreeBSD's installer. This seems very similar to that.
.name was a really stupid idea. So was.museum. How many damn museums are there out there that need their own ugly six-character TLD? Would have been nice to have a.pro or.sex (for partitioning's sake) and maybe a.biz or.b2b. The only new TLD I really think is useful is the.info one.
T-Mobile (or Verizon, if you go with them) have *absolute control* over what software is on your Sidekick. If you install something they don't like, THEY can remove it without telling you and you have no way of preventing it.
The guy is telling an honest anecdotal story which is relevant to the article. Just because you don't agree with the implications of what he's saying doesn't mean he's a troll.
Wake the fuck up, mods.
Posting logged-in because I am pissed off enough not to care about some imbecile modding me down for pointing this out.
I think you're talking about the SuperFX chip. It WAS to help process the 3D graphics. In fact, many, many games for SuperNES included this chip or descendents of it, and because of it the life of the console was extended probably a year later than it would have been viable for without it.
Me too, and me too. This has been a fact of life in Europe and Asia for quite a while from what I understand, and only recently has it started up here too.
My question is, where the hell are they getting the numbers from?

"Teams play non-conference games all the time"

Why do we (Fordham University) regularly play Brown and I think Dartmouth in football games?

Drop spent nuclear fuel into a tectonic subduction zone.
Problem solved. Now you just have to find a waste disposal company who can do it cheaply and reliably. SOMEONE will find a way.
Was that actually the way it went down? I don't remember reading that.
Post? I sure hope so.
Incidentally, has the CEO actually apologized to his users? And is the purchase "un-do-able?"

(with any luck)
T-Mobile (or Verizon, if you go with them) have *absolute control* over what software is on your Sidekick. If you install something they don't like, THEY can remove it without telling you and you have no way of preventing it.
For me, this makes the Sidekick a non-option.
"For example, if you have foglights, they have to work or the wiring needs to be cut all the way back to the harness. Lame."
Can someone explain the justification for this to me? No, really. This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
You can adjust them if you know how to replace the cars' chips.
The idea is the same, the method has just changed.

Sorry, man, but I gotta agree with her. Between you and a smart chick with boobies, I gotta go with the smart chick with boobies.
