Personally I wouldn't use this for teenagers because at that age, they have matured enough that they deserve a little privacy
Exactly - if you put the wristwatch on a teenage boy, all they'll find is that he's spending most of his time in the bathroom rapidly jumping back and forth about 4" at a time.
if you read the article, (or skimmed the summary) you'd know the GPS is only accurate to 10 feet.
So for all you know, it will be repeatedly showing your boy in the girls room, or the girl in the boys room.
Reminds me of that fatal birth defect where a kid is born without the top of their skull so it doesn't form all of the brain, but enough for them to cry, smile, etc and causes people serious emotional stress because it appears to be cognition when it's not.
It breaks my heart just thinking about being in that situation. To love someone so much and for you to find out that they can't love you back... and what you thought were the most special moments of your life were all a lie.
rofl, modded insightful, when this is obviously a joke...
Did I mention that Z-brand sent us managers to Vegas for a few days? Of course I didn't, because workers shouldn't know what goes on elsewhere in the company!
You didn't mention it because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
With eBay it's always the sellers' fault. Power Sellers have dropped by the thousands, including myself, because of eBay policies. Starting 1.5 to 2 years ago they decided it was time to screw sellers to make buyers happy. There are several lawsuits against ebay/paypal (same company). People have had their PayPal funds blocked for myself (a friend of mine included) of up to several thousand dollars sending these sellers to bankrupt. Since Paypal is not a bank and the U.S. Government of course doesn't regulate this random financial entity account owners are screwed. With PayPal is always the same story, when things don't work they'll tell you it's your fault. They're always right.
.
Well, if you had thought about it, you would of made your paypal account go to a seperate bank account, and after the buyer puts the money in it, you move it to another account. So then if he tries to rip you off, or what not, it's just an empy bank account.
Guess you must of been like born yesterday, seeing as lcd shutter glasses tech has been around since the mid 80's at the least.
Sega Master System with 3D Missle command is where I got my first taste.
The problem is, it needs a very high refresh to eliminate the flickering and headache factor.
Which is why the Nvidia 3D Vision requires 200hz LCD monitors.
I have a LCD shutter system that I can use on a CRT monitor, and the 3D movies and games rock on it. Sure, I'd rather it was on my big ass lcd tv, but while it can do 120hz refresh, it only does 60 in pc mode. =(
anyways, this has never made a big splash in the past, will it now? guess we'll find out.
'Boyden warns that a very clever AI without a sense of purpose might very well 'realize the impermanence of everything, calculate that the sun will burn out in a few billion years, and decide to play video games for the remainder of its existence.'
Thats exactly what I did. Not sure how that is so bad.
All I want out of life is my computers, my video games, internet, and of course, weed.
sheesh, I forgot to put porn in there. dang. wait, I put internet, everyone knows thats what you use the internet for...

on behalf of those of us who got into homebrew because of the dreamcast, I thank you!
Not sure what the moral police is doing on slashdot, but whatever.
I've figured out how to get homebrew on all my consoles since the dreamcast. My GC being the expection. Was going to do the PSO trick, but I ended up with v2 of PSO, and never got it to work. bought a ninjaGC mod, but the points you need to solder is so small, I'm scared to even try it. lol
seems to me like any survival advantage offered by this would be completely wiped out by the fact that depressed people kill themselves hell of a lot more than non-depressed people.
We've been known to take others out with us, so I suggest you watch out.
That cop next to you might be depressed and doesn't like how you dress.
WoW comes on a DVD, and the DVD is NOT needed to play the game.
So there would be NO reason for him to have it in his drive, 8 months later.
Sure, he could of had the DVD in his laptop for 8 months, but anyone with half a brain realised that it's bad for the drive to travel with a disk in it for 8 months.
Or it's just the calm before the storm, and we are going to get hit with a lot of sunspot activity, or nice solar flares or maybe even something cooler.
ps thats not cooler as in cold, but cooler is in something pretty fucking awesome that we didn't expect, and oh, look, as a side product, we are dead. or not.

How much is the average cable subscription in the US - with adverts - again?
Wouldn't know. I download all the shows I want to watch for free, with no adverts. In 720p.
Oh, hey, where is some new Doctor Who? Damn brit slackers...
No, all you need to do is find someone who hates fixing compromised computers (or has OCD for updated software).
God, I hate fixing peeps software problems, so I try to make sure everyone has updated software and crap on the computers i work on.
rather spend 5 mins or so installing software then 5+ hours fixing the crap.
... but surely start to block porn they don't like ...
What? No more midget tranny porn?
that would suck for them downunder.
(pun intentional)
...Don't argue with customer service. ... because complainers generally tend to get hung-up on and ignored.
In my experience, it's when I start swearing at them I get hung up on.
why didn't you just get a different IP address from your ISP?
seriously, don't people think anymore?
so your basicly saying, if it's not broken, don't fix it?

I have yet to find that my movie watching experience was in any way noticably improved by watching a film on Blu-Ray instead of DVD.
trying watching it on a 1080p HDTV.
srsly, if your watching bluray on an old SD TV, you, well, are stupid.
DVD only outputs the limits of SD, while bluray does HD.
numbers?
DVD = 720x480 max
Bluray 720p 1280x720
Bluray 1080p 1920x1080
not even going to get into the interlace settings, because we all know interlace is a cheap way of trying to sound better.
So, do you understand? If you do, I remove the stupid tag and dub you "little less stupid"

Okay, you know the drill, TITS or GTFO
Ain't no girls on the internet.
So your a trap, or a messed up dude trolling us.
Next time, pics will help
But chronic pain is not so wonderful.
Having an immune system is also beneficial to survival. Multiple sclerosis, not so great.
thats because we are suppose to clean the gene pool out.
MS would be gone if we would of just wiped out everyone that has it or someone in their family has it.
wait, I know this is slashdot, so we talking microsoft, or something else?

online IQ test do not count.
Not every depressed person drifts to suicide. Some of us just become miserable cynical bastards.
some of us just become cynical bastards. I might be depressed, but i'm not miserable. I still have porn.
hmm, jailbait and free wifi?
god i love america!
Okay, anything with MAX in its name is doomed to failure.
sorry, have to call lies on that.
