So your car is going to automagically apply the breaks every time you pass any pedestrians or cars because that person could theoretically jump in front of you? Sounds like a lot of slow driving on any inner-city streets.
Seriously. When I was playing they completely screwed the pc:npc balance and it was incredibly frustrating to play. I then switched to the Star Wars Galaxies and after three weeks I realized that the whole game is based on a time-wasting treadmill cycle. I haven't played any MMO since.
Thats not a bad idea, especially if they would also massively shorten all of the time sinks. It would be much like Dungeon Siege only in a completely open-ended world and fps perspective.
You mention something I have been thinking about as well. If the networks would air less ads in an hour, they would become more valuable and they could charge more for each ad. What drives me nuts right now is how I am forced to watch the same set of ads some 6 times in a one hour show. With only one ad per commercial break, it wouldn't be worth anyones time to try and skip it and the individual ads would be much more memorable.
Unfortunately, the Republicans are in power and they probably figure that most previously convicted felons would vote Democrat. In some states, that could have changed the results of the last two presidential elections. That alone will probably doom this bill.
I just read up on the birthday paradox and what strikes me is that a 50:50 chance is not very convincing. Even with 40 people in the room, there is only a 89% chance of matching birthdays. If you went to several different groups of 40 and tried to wow them with your statistical birthday tricks, you would still fail 11% of the time.
Get yourself a dvd burner and download the "dvd shrink" freeware. Then you can reencode the movie minus all the menus and such. Plus, you can store the original in a safe place while jr. watches the copy.
I'm sure you already know, but sports are just a form of population control -- much like religion. It keeps the working masses entertained so they can't contemplate how sucky their lives are, which would lead to riots and revolt.
All of this would be obvious to you if you've ever played civilization.

I'm happy you're saving money by cheating the IRS, but don't you realize that you are indirectly costing everyone else more money? It must be nice to have lax ethics...
I highly doubt the laser is the biggest part of a CD-ROM drive. The motors, guide system, & opticle pickup each take up more space. (At least on the devices I bothered to take apart)
The world met the Man of Bronze in a novel titled "The Man of Bronze," March 1933.
Doc Savage was created by Street and Smith's Henry W. Ralston, with help from editor John L. Nanovic, in order to capitalize on the surprise success of The Shadow magazine.

Good point. I was assuming they would be CD-ROM images.
Why not just change the color scheme to "Olive Green"? It looks a heck of a lot better than the win95ish "Classic" scheme.

Nothing beats "accidentally" hitting your teammate with the shrink ray and stepping on him. Muahahahaha
I have yet to play a game with such mezmerizing notes and tones as the original Doom music through the midi chipset on a Soundblaster 16.

When spoken out loud, "should of" sounds very much like "should've" -- which is a contraction for "should have".
Since I've discovered Dove's milk chocolate, all other brands are a let-down. Plus, it's not that expensive.

My only real complaint with using the cell phone is that they tend to get warm during long calls.

That warmth is just your body absorbing the radio waves, much like a microwave oven cooking a burrito
I wonder if the pencil trick that was so successful on old Athlons (and on my Radeon 9500np) would work in place of soldering the little jumpers...
I assume you meant "If only Redstaters weren't such dumb walmart shopping, nascar watching dummies."
In both Firefox and IE, you can click the middle-button and scroll the screen based on how far and which direction you move the mouse from that click.
Against random play, it doesn't matter what you choose, because the results will always be random.
You could always choose "rock", or have a looping pattern or anything else, but against a purely random opponent, you will both statistically tie.

I am rather hesitant to buy another Sandisk SD card after going through 2 different defective 256 MB SD cards.

I love this idea. Maybe there should be a maximum number of robots allowed per person/corporation so the jobs and income are spread around.
