I can present another anecdote to support your pointless generalization.
I also got glasses for nearsightedness in 2nd grade. Eyesight worsened. I got a new prescription and pair of glasses after recieving my first pay-check at my first full-time job. Didn't have that prescription updated for about 7 years. Finally went to the eye doctor to get an update on my prescription. And discovered that the reason my vision with glasses had deteriorated was not from a worsening of my vision but from an improvement. The only major change was that because of the job I had to stare at a computer monitor 8 hours a day for 7 years +/- lay-offs. And even then I was still on a computer.
So now you can make pointless generalizations based on two anectodal data points.
In 1973 and 1974, he was a speech writer and lawyer for Richard Nixon at The White House and then Gerald Ford. (He did NOT write the line, "I am not a crook.")
So it's not out of the realm of pissibility that he may know someone there.
What's to stop, say, the car dealer from keeping a copy of your global identifier (say, he's got a tape recorder in his pocket when you say it out loud), and then buying a vacation to Cuba with your identity?
Sure, 1+1 IS equal to 2, but what if I do my math in a different number system then you do??....1+8=9 only works if your biased the decimal way... but I do math in octal so 1+8=10.
Wouldn't the octal version of the decimal value 8 be 10? The character "8" does not represent a value in octal. Link
How did the leaker "accidently" leak the episode. Sounds unsttlingly like either Alien Mind-Control Rays or United Nations Blackmail Plot to discredit the BBC.
Although this leak could make a lot of money for Haliburton. As there's evidence of a connection between this employee of the CBC and President Bush's 3rd Grade teacher.
You will no doubt experience whatever negative afterlife awaits evil people for even mentioning that wretched abomination of a sit-com whose name needs to be forever stricken from human psyche.
Actually, walkie-talkies are used by terrorists to communicate and make plans. Being on a desert planet, they were identified as potential terrorists, promply arrested, and sent to a detention facility on a planet very near Coruscant(sp?) without due process.
There's rumors that after Episode III is released and they do a 6-DVD extra-final director's cut. Neither Greedo nor Han shoots. Instead they settle their differences peacefully and just agree to disagree.
If you shoot yourself anywhere else...well, you won't end up brain-damaged, but it still might not kill you. Let's say you try to shoot yourself in the heart and miss--you now have a nice, painful bullet stuck in your chest.
But in this case you could try again.
Not easily, at least for a while. Especially if they thought the wound was intentional and self-inflicted. If they thought that, you'd probably end up on suicide watch and a fair amount of therapy. And if you're in the U.S. where the second ammendment allows personal firearm ownership (I'm American and are not familiar with other countries' firearms laws, so I can't say for those areas), in most states you lose most if not all of your right to keep and bear arms if you're judged mentally unfit. And an attempted suicide generally gets you classified thusly.

Why? What are you planning on doing to the children?
Odd.
You speak as if the editors read the comments.
What color is the sky in your world?
Red. No, Blue. AAAAIIIIEEEE!!!
Yes, I have absolutely no life.

If I hear "fire!", I look around for smoke and flame.
Funny. When I hear "fire!", I pull the trigger.

I imagine most readers are perfectly legitimate.
And some are just bastards.

I'd like some of that crack you're smoking...
You're supposed to get the crack when you get moderator points. So metamoderate. If you metamoderate you're more likely to get moderator points.
It wasn't leaked on purpose.

Using walkie-talkies instead of guns, of course.

PS- Han shot first.

You are just big-boned. Oreos are unusually high in Calcium.

It's Google's way of making everyone with a gmail account realize they don't have enough friends.

I think you misspelled "slashdot moderator"
Colorizing a movie doesn't preclude you from viewing the non-colorized version.
It would if Star Wars had been in Black & White.
You get this.
You have to go to the acronym finder.
Too bad that disclaimer won't fit in the sig line, eh?
