I hope Boeing continues to take the same approach to plane design that Nintendo does for Zelda games or Blizzard does for ANY kind. Take the time to get it right and make a quality product. I don't want them half-assing it to get it into production, then the thing falls apart when I'm flying it in. That would be very bad. I can live without the 787 for a couple of extra years if it means that using it won't cost me the time I have left on this earth.
I didn't read the article yet, but did the reporter give the kid a manual for operating the Walkman? If so, the kid could have resolved some of those issues by reading it. If not, then I understand his confusion. CD's have been the standard for physical media since the early 90's, and manufacturers probably stop making cassette tapes for new albums when he was 3 or 4. CD's are, after all, one-sided.
What health insurance company accepts claims for plastic surgery? To my knowledge, procedures for cosmetic reasons aren't covered by any firm, so that's why you need to directly pay for it.
Yes, but the reason that health care costs are so high in America is that we have the best quality of health care in the world. When was the last time that you heard of an American going overseas for a cutting-edge, live-saving procedure that could only be done in Britian, France, or Japan? I can't think of one. But the world is flocking to America to see the best our doctors and other health care professionals have to offer. Everyone, from world leaders like King Hussein of Jordan visiting the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN for treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, to little 5-year-old Youssif, the Iraqi boy who was douced in gasoline and set on fire by masked men, who came to America with his entire family to receive surgery to repair his face (provided by a number of generous donors moved by his plight), is coming to the United States to get access to our health care system.
No, it's laziness. I'll be like "I should put IE 6 on my Mac and Linux boxes". Then I lose my motivation and say "nah, that's too much effort". I don't disagree that this may be an insane idea, but the laziness applies to my action, or lack thereof.
I continue to use IE on a daily basis. Although I was forced to upgrade to 7 at work, I still continue to use 6 on my home Windows PC's. I still need to put it on my Mac and Linux boxes, but I'm lazy.
One thing I love about the old school games: their simplicity. You don't need a manual to play them. It's not difficult to pick up the controller and find out what the 2/3/6 buttons do, then proceed to play. There's only two basic functions in a side-scroller: jump and fire. Add a few more buttons, maybe get a couple more ways to attack or move. I miss that in the newer games.
I believe "illegally downloading of music" is the correct term. Downloading is used the verb form, so the adverb "illegally" modifies and answers the "how?" of the action of downloading. The entire phrase is a noun. "X and Y has devastated..." where Y = "illegally downloading of music".
Maybe I'm missing the point of the mom filing suit, but to those of us who don't understand this legalese, could someone explain to me what right she had to use the song in the video?
Injuries. Did he take these into account? A lot of good teams have had lousy seasons due to players being hurt for long periods of time. MAYBE if every member of every team was able to play a full schedule of 162 games...
Performances. If every player played consistently every day, but some guys go on hot streaks and get moved up in the batting order. Some guys go cold and get bumped down, or even worse, sent to the minors. MAYBE if the 25-man rosters stayed constant for the entire season.
Luck. Three teams each score 750 runs over the course of a season. Each one also allows 750 runs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_expectati onBill James' Pythagorean expectation says that each team should play.500 ball; 81 wins and 81 losses. But one team could win a lot of close games and lose a couple dozen blowouts, finish with 90+ wins. Another could lose a bunch of close games and win a couple dozen blowouts, ending up with only 70 wins.
Powering down unused PC's would be an even better idea. My desktop at work is only on for the 9 hours I'm in the office, and my home machine is only on for the 6 hours in the evening after work and before I go to bed.
Exactly. In order to have the right to USE their bandwitdh for surfing the Internet, you forfeit the right to visit some web sites.
Why does this come as a surprise to anyone? Some rights must be given up in order to obtain other rights. If not, you basically have anarchy, because then anyone can do anything without consequences.
Maybe you heard of them. The RIAA. Just let them know how many songs you got, and they'll gladly send some people over to your house to help you out with that...

I guess we in Tennessee don't ruin our liver as often as other folk!
Which is ironic, since Jack Daniel's is made in Tennessee...
This job would be great if it weren't for the f***ing customers.
Ain't that the truth some days...
They're eating proteins, not carbs...
No, not little, brown, furry rodents...
Massive, golden, beautiful beasts!!

The person who submitted this story should have linked to this one... http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/health/2008/11/19/lah.eod.japan.stem.cell.cnn?iref=videosearch This one is a video talking about how Japanese doctors used stem cells to grow breast tissue for implants. IMO, this is a WAY more significant. And interesting. And stimulating...

Palin is very attractive. Pictures of her are all over the Internet. And last time I checked, that's what the Internt is used for.
Porn.
Like they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.
