The newer cartoons are all rehashes or remakes of the successful plots with smaller "Tiny Toon" versions of the characters.
Well there are the exceptions. I remember Plucky (or what was the green duck's name?) trying to enter the WB studios disguised as Rocky Balboa, when the guard hit him with a mechanical boxing glove. Now *THAT* was wit:)
Or how about the Animaniacs and their power rangers parody?
Unfortunately, it seems this is the exception rather than the rule. Bummer.
A number of the old cartoons are kept in a closet of dirty secrets because they had racist themes in them.
Remember Tex Avery's "Magical Maestro"? I don't understand why they banned it. They should've instead added a warning about racial stereotypes blahblah if you feel offended please change channel. But man! They censored nearly all the jokes in that one!:(
my father telling me he lit a freshly-painted van (he thought the paint would just scorch, not burn).
But come on! We're talking people over 17 here! Sheesh...
They should install a faraday cage instead.

I agree, that family might be a *little bit* (understatement warning) paranoid, but that doesn't give them the right to jeopardize their neighbors' eyes with sunlight - which was the reason for the suit in the first place.
A few years ago my math teacher gave us an exam with one particular problem that I couldn't solve. (Apparently a typo or misplaced sign made a rather simple problem into an unsolvable one). So I went to the library, researched on the problem, and found out it was unsolvable. I PROVED IT mathematically, but the teacher didn't believe me. And my grade wasn't changed! Doesn't that suck!?
Lesson to be learned: Life's not fair. SPECIALLY with underpaid teachers designing the exams. Hmph.
Bwaaaaa they're uncooperative... Mozilla doesn't wait those extra days to release their patches so we can have them first... bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mommy!!!!
"Hi, i'm clippy! I'm here to teach you how to use the computer and NOT screw up!"
"This is a mouse. It has two buttons. When you click the right button it's called a right click."
"Whoa! Be careful with that popup! It appears to be a message from your computer, but it's an internet explorer window!"
I mean, they did a good tutorial on 'posting and you', why can't they make a tutorial on using the computer? I'd give the CD to ALL my newbie customers.
Next time you label something as troll, please notice that i'm just stating my point of view. Where does human life begin? Many people believe it's at the moment of conception, so I don't understand how stating this point of view could be labelled as "troll".
Unless of course, I'm stating a point of view that goes against the majority. In that case you're fully welcome to mod me as troll.
but students from Saudi Arabia -- home country for most of the participants in the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, and much of the financing and ideology behind Islamist terrorism -- will not.
And what prevents an Islamist terrorist from studing in India - DOH!?!?!? Specially when his teacher was just graduated from the US.
The obvious logical step is requiring foreign students to belong in a country who agrees NOT to trade with banned countries.
And then, requiring foreign students to belong in a country who agrees NOT to teach... you get the idea.
Seriously, this is completely ridiculous and the only people affected are the students.

Not having to refresh the frigging URL everytime you want to request some info from the server.
Think of it as "DHTML+minor server requests".
So, what car would you like to buy?

(javascript then loads the currently available VW's from the server into a second combobox)
Ta-da!
By the way, am I the only one that uses the web with JavaScript turned off for almost every site?

Indiscriminate usage of the blur filter actually blurs the images.

according to the wired article, the search engine will allow "RIAA and friends" to target the uploaders directly and sue them.
So the search engine will actually become a benefit for the RIAA. Which I'm perfectly OK with, since Cohen never intended BT to be a pirate tool.
That's a caveat, unfortunately. Who says our data won't be altered (i.e. hacking) after downloading?
My prediction is that by 2050 the extremely rich won't have to download their brain, they'll just get a cyborg body.
A /. article... about a PERSONAL website... with VIDEO.

What happend to me was the opposite.

Couldn't they focus more on producing chips that DON'T generate so much heat?
That way we wouldn't need to spend another N bucks on the cooling system.

people gullible to believe Microsoft's "Get the Facts" campaign are just as gullible to download fake patches.
w00t.
Then I can sell my iPod for LOTS of pizzas! :D

Wow. That is exactly my problem.
And mine, I mean I should be programming a boring stuff right now. And what am I doing? Reading

Whether he resigned or was fired, or was pressured to resign is another matter. He was censored in his own university, for God's sake!
