Traditionally in a dutch auction, the price starts very high and is lowered by increments. The first person to bid wins at the last annonced price. Often, the auctioneer is a mechanical device that simply ticks down.
One thing I don't understand. We have his name and his personal account that he was hitting people with a folding chair. Aren't there some sort of laws against that? (And yes, I'd be pissed about somone cutting in front of me too. But I have a fear of laws and guns.)
I mean, while he declined to explain why the librian needed to be fired, he MUST have a good reason for doing so. I mean, what kind of sick person would get someone fired from their job for political gain?
Why does streaming in Windows media player and real suck so much?
When I open.mov files, Quicktime will start to download the file and only starts playing when it has enough so I can watch the whole video. Do they have a patent on this or something?
I mean, I hate waiting for Quicktime to load (and no, I don't want tho pro version), but watching a video without the freaking buffering every six seconds is worth it.
Oh and just to clarify, I am clueless and genuinely curious. And I was recently had to usea low bandwidth connection and was trying to show someone a video that turned out to be a streamed video..
The source of the news is definitely to blame for it's low quality. What you haven't realized is you are not in the audience that they are catering to. 'Cool' is so 90's. What you really need is a site more apropriate for the naught-ies.
I find it really interesting to watch a gamers' hands as they play. Just seeing the precise movements reminds me of some sort of crazy dance. Just focus on the keyboard and mouse and tune out the monitor. Noticing the movement and colour from the screen sort of gives you a context of what the hands are doing.
Of course some games are more suited to this. FPS is particularly interesting. Oh and of course, you should be watching an experienced gamer do this.

I realize you're trying to make a joke (emphasis on trying), but what's funnier is watching some kid with a user id of 650339 ask a guy with a user id of 14388 if he's new...
Ummm.. This happens all the time! You must be new here.

You don't really have to steal it. Giving credit for the phrase doesn't cost you anything. =]
I recently found out the origins of dutch auctions. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Auction& oldid=20961965#Types_of_auctions

Maybe it's politically correct satire?

I didn't even notice it until the second AC. =)
The phrase you want is "They get a kick out of it". Also your sig be "grammar". Hope that helps.
I believe the correct phrase is "Woe is me". Google
I am a car noob. I have no idea what you just said. You've made me curious. Can you please explain how this is informative?
The wind turbine is debatable.
Because batteries are still expensive. And from what I understand, they aren't that great for the environment.
Maybe he knows something? Let's find out, shall we?
An interesting idea.. Although I wonder how many people would make their own shirts and wear them. You know, people with a strange sense of humor.
Haha, the settings expire? At least they should have made them expire in a reasonable timeframe, like 8 years (as in when my 10 year old grows up) ;)

Even punchlines are being duped now!
Whoa! $10/gal and they come with exclusivity agreements? I'll take two, eh?

That's incredible. Anyone know how to get a non-streaming version of the video?
