Maybe if there was something worth watching on TV I'd be scared but what kind of threat is this. At worst I'm just gonna miss the next season of Survivor.=P
Ok. Let's make some lemonade from lemons. This seems like a great opportunity to make fun of some corporate entities. Someone should make a movie making fun of some of these ridiculous overly broad software patents.
That is the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard. Why are they taxing it. You've suppsedly already paid fro the music on your device by buying the cd or download. Those are people that need to die from cancer quickly.
Glad to see these guys back. It just sucks that this show died b/c of corporate mergers and bigwigs. It seemed to have an audience. Now they have people on G4 who are still looking for the 'any' key on thier computers. I guess there wasn't enough air time on cable for motorcycle building shows and retarded reality tv. Good luck guys. I will listen loyally and I want to see Megan Morrone again.
I'm with you on this if A gives himself priority over B's VOIP packets on his network and B gives himself priority over A's VOIP packets on his network doesn't the net effect cancel out or at least mean they both suck?
I think you're actually supposed to pay a tax on anything you buy out of your state and bring to your state. I remeber a few years back NY was going over to IKEA in Elizabeth, NJ and taking down license plates. Then they'd send people threatening letters. Talk about obnoxious behavior by the gov't.
An economics professor once also told a anecdote about how his wife sent NJ the money she owed on a camera they bought out of state and they sent a thank you letter because no one ever does it. I remeber thinking it was a pretty retarded thing to do and only someone who had money to throw away would do it. I suppose you could make a moral argument about paying taxes but I'm currently of the belief that too large a portion of my tax money just gets embezzled by people with connections.
Are you seriously trying to tell me that Galactica is a better show than Enterprise? I was all jazzed to see a new Galactica series. It had so much promise. The writing has just been horrible. The female Starbuck was such a retarded idea that they've even started calling her by her real name "Karin". It's like an hour long melodrama. Star Trek is 100 times better.
One of the weakest parts of MMORPG's has been the lack of emmersion. Everone want's to be the kick ass jedi or whatever. No one want's to be the bartender NPC or innkeeper. So what you get is a bunch of bots with limited responses and an empty simulated city. I say if these people in third world countries want to get paid for it then let them play the NPC's. It's a much more useful and less boring job than making items. The game will be much better and being a bartender in Everquest sure beats sewing sneakers all day. Think of all the Chinese political prisoners we will save from sewing volleyballs with their teeth. I personally think it's a win-win situation. They become actors in a sense. It could even become entertaining. We have fun being Neo and kicking ass. Just imagine the whole NPC social underclass that would be created. Their interactions alone could feul a psych thesis.
Yes. You should expect a raise unless there are extreme circumstances. You better believe that if you're consulting the rates your employer charges for your services go up for the same reasons. If they don't pass that along to you they're lying to the clients. I got a 3.5% raise this year. Didn't make up for the cost of living. You know your employer is not keeping up when your raise doesn't even cover the raise that public transportation gave themselves.=)
It seems that more and more certian parts of America are just like these religous totalitarian states we're fighting against. To ignore the fossil record and scientific method over a book of which the people who wrote it believed the earth was flat is just retarded. We talk down these crazy zealots in the mid east but these people in our own country are just as bad. Of course, they won back the White House. I don't know how that happens. Our federal tax dollars support these people. I'm in NJ and we get less than a dollar back for each dollar we pay in taxes while these other states are on the plus side. They get annoyed if we make decisions but you'll be damm sure they want our money.
If eBay let this through it would most likely make the news. Bamm! Free commercial on multiple television stations. If you were lucky you get national coverage, a late night show, maybe even Howard Stern. Why wouldn't Pepsi or Walmart want to grab a piece of that for a mere 20k?
I don't believe the pilots ever really felt they were in danger.
While it is annoying, distracting, and wreckless it was just a moron screwing around with a laser pointer, not an act of terrorism, and the government knows this.
They obviously were not really threatened by it. If they were, they wouldn't have sent another aircraft to hover around in the same place looking for him. If a guy was shooting off stinger missles you wouldn't send a helicopter to float around in the area. You'd send in someone by ground. They were just pissed off and they wanted to set an example to the hundreds of people who do this a year. There was never an actual feeling of a threat.
I think he should have some punishment, but they need to keep it in context. 10 years and 250 million seems excessive for a prank.

James Cameron want's a cut too since half of the Halo premise is just a rip off of his space marines and Aliens II story.
The reason they're going after him so hard is because he found out where they're hiding the aliens. The truth is out there!

Forget the OLEDS. How about one of those laser displays that paints the image onto your retina.

That is friggin funny!
I uninstalled it because it kept downloading a copy of the same file over and over again. I had like 100 copies of one of the videos on my machine.
2 billion for a second rate search engine? They need to refile this under the I-Smoke-Crack department.
Yeah but Windows+M will minimize everything on the screen.=)

Of course, the first picture on the internet had to be a bunch of cute chicks showing cleavage.

Now I just have to sell enough heroin to make enough money to pay the fine I got downloading that DVD.

Isn't that a mini mac. Just teasing mac people.=P

I think I could live without my right mouse button but I NEED my scroll wheel. Most other new mouse features, save the optical mouse, are just fads.

My cell phone was able to send and receive email LONG before the blackberry ever cam out. The blackberry is esentially a two-way beeper.

Well I guess that means those rumors were true. Aren't they just confirming a story?
