Granted he was just being a dick by letting her struggle, but how much brainpower does it take to realize that putting ice cream in the microwave is never going to work? To do it once because you're nervous and not thinking clearly is one thing. Six times would seem to indicate a fundamental failure to grasp the concepts of "hot" and "cold".
Yeah, he has far more patience than I'd have. It takes a lot of nerve to take screenshots of an unfinished, unreleased game, hack them up in Photoshop, and then go "See, *this* is what you should have done." Let Blizzard design the game, and more importantly, let them finish and release it. If you play the finished product and it sucks, then you have a legitimate gripe. It's not like Blizzard doesn't have a track record of making great stuff.
I can't think of a better way to create a complete trainwreck of a game than to let a committee of fanboys design it.
How do we know someone else didn't do it and then make it look like a murder/suicide?
Because there is a victim and eyewitness that is still alive? And it was a teenage girl, not a sysadmin, so I think idea that she did it and then shot herself in the neck to avoid suspicion is pretty far fetched. Most teenage girls I've spoken to are not *that* upset about spam.
George Noory is the regular host these days. Sadly, I think the show has declined a lot since Art has gone into semi-retirement. While the guests have always skewed toward nutty, Art's guests tended to be more interesting and less obviously schizophrenic. George also has a habit of occasionally asking weird, non-sequitur questions. There are times when it really sounds like he's only half paying attention.
To get somewhat back on-topic, I think this guy would make for an excellent Coast-to-Coast guest. He's got a little more credibility than the standard-issue conspiracy theory nutjob.
Yeah, voice recognition, woohoo... Considering how perfectly it works, I think I'll start stockpiling mice now for when they are replaced by this "superior" technology.
I'm still working on an engine that will run on bullshit. Washington D.C. will produce enough to meet all of North America's energy needs for 1000 years.
Actually, calling it a beta is being generous. There are a lot of interface quirks and bugs to work out, and the content (as far as avatars, furniture, clothes, etc.) definitely feels more like a sample of what will be available. Once they open it up to user created content, I imagine there will be no shortage of "stuff". FWIW, I didn't really have the connection problems the reviewer had. The whole thing thing gets a little laggy in a crowded room, especially if the room is full of junk, but I didn't have any problems getting in.
As far as the sex themed rooms, they seemed pretty tame to me, at least for now. (Uh, not that I checked them out or anything.) You're limited to streaming videos from YouTube, so you can't show anything that wouldn't pass muster there. You can also display static images in a "picture frame", but the frames seems to be pretty broken at the moment. They seem to only display a small portion of the image, regardless of the resolution. So, at least for the moment, it's pretty much impossible to display anything pornographic. I imagine once they open it up to user created content, though, it will become yet another haven for furries.
Also keep in mind that his sentence is not necessarily any shorter. He gets to go before the parole board ten years sooner, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll just let him go. A gangbanger who's in for killing a rival gang member can get rid of his tats, get his GED, take job skills courses, and prove that he's ready to be a productive member of society. I think Hans will have a much harder time proving to the parole board that he's not a danger to society.
Keep in mind that it's 15-to-life. He's eligible for parole in 15 years, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll let him go. Given the vicious and cold blooded nature of his crime, I'd be surprised if they don't keep him a lot longer than 15. Also, I've got to think that a skinny, white, computer geek with poor social skills is going to do some *very* hard time. I suspect even 15 years is going to seem like a very long time for him.
I thought it seemed kind of sketchy during the trial when the family whisked them away to Russia and refused to bring them back. Now I think they're much better off as far away from him as humanly possible.
But hey, don't expect the science to devalue the old instruments. A '59 'Burst can still cost you $250,000.
I wouldn't expect it to. The majority of the people who have driven the price of a '59 'burst up to such ludicrous levels play them very little or not at all, and generally store them in safe deposit boxes.
LOL, perhaps you might want to READ the rule before replying - it is NOT blocking all IE6 users, just the ones that are missing "Accept-Encoding" header
So doesn't this render the link scanner completely useless? I assume someone looking to dodge the AVG scanner for eeeeeevil purposes can just do the same thing, no?
Are there any marine biologists among us? Have the fish been acting funny lately?
You know, it's funny. I was at the aquarium yesterday and for the finale of the dolphin show a dolphin did a double backwards somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner.'
It was originally called Firebird, a reference to the Phoenix and the idea that the app was born from the ashes of Netscape. They changed it after receiving complaints from the Firebird database people, keeping the "fire" and swapping out the animal. I assume the fox was chosen for the alliteration and for the image of the fox as being scrappy and independent. Fireslug just doesn't have the same ring...
If a city that old can have dishes without looking bad or distracting, I think a house in New York will be okay.
Granted it's overrun with f'ing New Yorkers in the summer, but just for the record any cottage at the Cape Cod National Seashore is most definitely in Massachusetts.
2. All-indoor jobs. I'd wager that the best "workspace" isn't indoors. There are days I envy park rangers. Yeah, you can make an office comfortable, but keep in mind that it's STILL an office.
Meh, I doubt there are too many outdoor workers who would agree with you. Sure, when it's sunny and 72 I'm sure it's fantastic, but think of all the days they have to work when it's 98 and humid, 10 below, pouring rain, snowing, etc. I'm sure on those days they envy your climate controlled office.
Bah, who needs an iPod when there's sleep to catch up on? Most days I'm 3/4 asleep by the time the reader spits out my pass and I'm dead to the world before the bus gets back into traffic.

How do people even hurt themselves in lan parties?
Have you *seen* some of the cooling systems on these custom rigs? You could easily get sucked into a CPU fan.

Too bad Art Arfons passed away, they could have brought him in as a consultant. He'd been building rocket-powered tractors since the '70s.

Of course it can. Wait until everyone is forced to strip naked and be chained to the wall of the cabin.

Dammit, I had just gotten that song out of my head. Who needs fancy microwave audio guns when a simple earworm is far more effective?
Right, my point is that the AVG scanner is useless. They might as well drop it and save everyone a lot of grief.

I'd take it, but I'd have to move some of my stuff, or, buy bigger place to put my stuff and his stuff together.
Actually, it'd be his shit and your stuff, right? Because your shit is stuff and other people stuff is shit.
If you're on the Internet and you haven't figured out how to see all the tits you could possibly want... YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!
