No, you should offer to attempt to "repair" it yourself then do what LMA suggests YOURSELF. If this works, charge him $$$. Of course, I don't know enough about plasma screens to know if it would really work or not. You might try pausing on an all-white screen.
I got good fortune like Confucius in the House of Wong
I got orbital connects like Ground Control to Major Tom
With my pedal to the metal my tires smoke like Cheech and Chong
And I'm gettin upgrades like the user to TRON
After G4TechTV (or whatever it's going to be called) ruined the Screen Savers by getting rid of everyone who was entertaining and had actual knowledge, and replacing them with a bunch of good-looking young know-nothings, I stopped watching.
Good looking? My ass!
Any Super Milk Chan viewers out there? If you've seen the episode where Tetsuko (she's the cloudy robot) farts, then you KNOW why having a robot that will excrete on command is extremely handy!
If you haven't seen it, can you imagine telling your robot to fart on somebody? And I'm not just talking about some pansy ass fart. I'm talking about a chemically engineered, concentrated stink bomb, remotely delivered by your trusty robot.
Heck, personal robots could be made to excrete all sorts of substances, from sweet pheramones (sp?) to toxic waste. Take that!
Oh wow, Anthony Bongiovi, Jr., cousin of Jon "Bon Jovi" Bongiovi made the list.
Oh, here's a good one... the kid who planted bleach and box cutters on planes... Nathaniel T. Heatwole.
I am absolutely starstruck! Larry L. Wheeler, who appeared ina segment for "PAX" network television show "It's a Miracle," is a ham operator!
Even Branch Davidian is represented (Jeffrey C. Little and Douglas Wayne Martin)!
OMG, Sir Mix-a-Lot... hahahahha
It's unfortunate how they totally wrote off the Rebel Assault titles. I really enjoyed the variety of missions in those games. In fact, the Speeder Bike level of Rebel Assault 2 is one of the most fun games I've ever played, at least in my opinion.
The plaintiffs in this case should be HAPPY that their kid had a seizure while at home playing video games so that they could discover the kid's underlying condition in a safe place rather than finding out about it after a public seizure and serious resulting injury. I can see it now, the kid at 18 goes off to a rave at state palace in New Orleans and dies on the floor from having a seizure from the strobes and then getting trampled by all the junkies.
These people are obviously just tornado bait coonies looking for an easy buck.
The US media, as bad as it is, is unfortunately the best that I have ever encountered. In Europe much of the supposed media is nothing more than the National Enquirer. In many dictatorships the media is controlled either directly (command) or indirectly (fear) by the regime. In many countries, the news is irrecognizably distorted by skewed viewpoints so radical that you'd be begging them to bring back the old liberal/conservative stuff. And in most of the parts of the world that I have visited, even in the countries that we help out the very most, the media gives a clear anti-American slant.
Spend some time abroad, dude. You'll be kissing the U.S. soil when you make it back home.
True, the old games will get killed off because the kiddies of today never played them. I was glad to see such an extensive list of systems, though, and it will still be interesting to see which games win on each system. I hope they make complete stats public, that would be great.
Here's my list, below. I only voted for a few, since these were the only ones I felt strongly about. Most of them are old, but I'd love to hear from anyone who shares any favorites. As you can see I don't limit myself to a particular genre...
DOS/Windows - Quake 1 Atari 2600 - Warlords Commodore 64 - Lode Runner Arcade - Operation Wolf PlayStation - Intelligent Qube NES - Megaman 2 Super Nintendo - Super Mario RPG GameBoy - Final Fantasy Adventure GameBoy Advance - Advance Wars 2
Auto sales will change the most. Instead of having the desired effect, these laws will just increase the business of auto dealers whose businesses are close to the borders of neighboring states.
Enviable boot time? You gotta be kidding. I used to wait for ages for my games to load on the C64. Yes, you do get a command prompt immediately, but MAN was waiting for games SLOW... or at least they seemed that way to a 10 year old.
Seriously, honesty in this case would be the best way to handle the situation. You should share with your supervisors exactly how you feel! They're sure to understand. They will appreciate your communicativeness.
Tell them that you're really flattered for being considered for the promotion, then be frank about your concerns about the other team. Remind then that you really enjoy your present position, and let them know that you'd still be interested in other opportunities for advancement, but just not right now.
If they really, REALLY want *you* to do it, then they might end up upping the ante and making you an offer you can't refuse.

A tiny piece of a song I wrote... that's not even the good part, but maybe Disney will sue me, hehhehhe.
Mmmm... dirt roads... nah, not even with your dick, hhehhehehe.

I nominated Lode Runner! Woot!
Yes... Quake 1 still has many active servers and communities after what, almost 8 years now?
