If tuned correctly, perhaps exterminators will have a new technology that will not only kill the bugs in the walls, but also vaporize them without destroying the surrounding building.
It's not often that +5 insightful and +5 funny belong to the same comment, but it seems to fit here. Indeed one of the funniest, if quite obvious, comments I've read lately. Thanks for laugh.
I've personally compared the Bose Waveradio CD player to high-end Onkyo and HK systems with multiple speaker configurations, just to see (re:hear) the differences at lower volumes. The Bose system, maybe because it's designed to play at lower volumes, definitely had a clear advantage in both sound quality and range. However, trying to fill a large space is not the Waveradio's forte, nevermind what the hype says. Yet in a bedroom or small office you can get an excellent performance from the Bose's small package.
The early medieval period was warmer than this by some way, from about 1000-1300.
Of course, duh! They didn't have air-conditioning back then... well, maybe evaporative cooling, but have you ever tried cooling the world that way? I've tried cooling it by leaving a door open when I run the AC, to help combat global warming... but I don't guess it's working... yet.
The broadcast networks are charging top dollar for advertising.
Somebody's making money on TV. They will continue to make money
You hit the nail right on the head. The entire reason we have "free" content on broadcast television is due to advertising support. They believe we'd rather download last night's episode of Really Bad Show than watch it, despite the fact that 14 million people tuned in for this season's final episode of The Apprentice. The viewers obviously didn't wait to download their copy without commercials, even though the show itself isn't worth the time invested to watch, IMNSHO.
How they can continue to cover our eyes and ears, and believe they can get away with it, I just cannot understand.
I'll stick with my Logitech Trackman Marble F/X trackball. Having picked it up in 1997, I hope it never dies, as I can see no replacement for it anytime soon. It's easily the most ergonomic mouse I've ever used, and what's even cooler is it's the same one used to pilot Moya on Sci-Fi's Farscape.:)
An 4Ghz 64-bit cpu is nearly worthless if you mate it with 64 megs of ram and a 3600 RPM laptop drive...
That's like the people who live in the single-wide trailer with the new Cadillac parked outside and the big-screen TV they bought via rent-to-own taking up an entire wall.
Really? Let's see if there are obvious similarities...
1. Dead parents? Check.
2. Cool anti-criminal gadgets? Check.
3. Numerous girlfriends being used as leverage by the bad guys? Check.
4: People who inevitably learn of their secret lives? Check.
5: Been a member of a Super-Team? Check.
To call it the "best" scifi series on TV is quite a stretch. The CGI looked great, but the costumes and props were a far cry from being completely believable. They used a four-wheeler on their spaceship to haul stuff? No gravity-defying carts to help that? Maybe Mal was on a very limited budget when he started his business and couldn't afford one of those fancy shmancy floaty-things.
What about the other props? Their weapons, for instance? What's with the nod to westerns of old by using weapons that bore more than a passing resemblance to some of the weapons from a Sergio Leone film? The opening scene for the original pilot had them using what we'd call "modern" weapons, the HK G36. While it might look space-age, it's not really helping to fit into the rest of the mold with everyone else using wanna-be sixshooters.
I'm not sure I have a point to make, other than calling it the best scifi is a stretch... which I already said.
Yes, you are. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition right now and I'll be damned if it doesn't blue screen two times a day.
I'd say that instead of him being lucky, you're rather unlucky. If I were you, I wouldn't buy shoddy equipment. Next time, run the hardware compatibility test included with the Windows CDROM.
Yeah, and when they've finished parsing them after twelve years they will realise the statute of limitations has run out.

Kramer: "Anyway, it's been two years. I mean, isn't there a statue of limitations on that?"
Jerry: "Statute!"
Kramer: "What?"
Jerry: "Statute of limitations, it's not a statue!"
Kramer: "No, it's statue!"
Jerry: "Fine, it's a sculpture of limitations!"
Kramer (to Elaine): "Elaine. Elaine! Now you're smart. Is it statute or statue of limitations?"
Elaine: "Statute!"
Kramer: "Well, I really think you're wrong!!"

flamebait? A distributed client that folds? Get it? As in "folding @home"? Jeez, you guys have no sense of pun-humor.
OK, how about this one:
If they create a distributed client for the pokerbot, they can fold 24/7!
The catch? All entries must be delivered in punch-card format.

heh, that's great irony... the six-digit guy telling the five-digit guy he's a noob.

I could swear I've been to this exact spot during one of my frequent walks on the beach... in a fish-eye view kinda way.

eh, I was only kidding around. I don't have any content created by me to share, so who am I to say anything? :)
Excellent! Not only do I get access to your bands music, but I also appear to have won $1,000 in free gas! Thank you, pop-up Gods!

Police say a third person present at the incident was questioned.
"I am so totally not with these freaks, officer."
I think a good storyline for the next three movies would be the trilogy with Grand Admiral Thrawn continuing the Empire's march.

Nope. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Actually, it just didn't "fit" with me. It was full of cheese, regardless of whether I liked the characters, the show screamed low budget.

Yes, you are. I'm running Windows XP Home Edition right now and I'll be damned if it doesn't blue screen two times a day.

How many times can you use the words "space elevator" in the description of this article?
was over a week ago. Can we quit with the fake articles already?
To get this far with jokes like that you must have adamantium balls.
