Just try me. I dare you, government bitchiceses!
Let's just find whoever came up with that broadcast flag thing, and burn it and him.
...or Google Maps for that matter, either. They both use the same USGS Urban Area Ortho pictures that NASA World Wind can use. (I don't mean you, I mean any pending "M$" conspiracy theorists.)
...but in July 2005's Elle, Lindsay says, "I had exhaustion. I was diagnosed with acid reflux, anemia, hypoglycemia, my liver was swollen, my kidney was infected."
Just three weeks ago, my mom (after leaving a hospital for some emotional treatment) came home, and a day later suddenly lost most of her energy and appetite, and started vomiting her food. She went back to the hospital, to find she had a kidney infection and anemia, and needed IV, etc.
I just talked with my mom and she added she lost 15 pounds from the sickness. She only regained 2-3 back and is happy without the excess weight. If Lindsay was as sick as she said (my mom leads me to believe Lindsay), her doctor's probably warning her to refrain from further McDonald's consumption, and she'd be really insane to hurt herself further with drugs, starvation, and the like. She's probably glad to be without her legendary boobs.
Just my thoughts. I'd say something about Halo 3 if I owned the previous ones. The budget's not allowing many games lately. My real point is that since Lindsay's ex was a big Halo fan, any new one would bring back some bad memories.
You would have to go home and authorize it.
Doesn't really help with impulse buying.
You would have to auth it at home, BUT you'd be able (to a reasonable extent, barring weight limits, and purchases people obviously can't afford) to exceed the credit limit, albeit with a small fee as usual. Since the vendor gets no credit card number (only a voucher showing that the specific purchase was paid for, if it is paid for), they won't know how close to the limit the purchaser is.
As long as the purchaser wires the credit and pays needed fees, the vendor will only see a voucher from the credit card company with the payment. This could improve competition between credit companies, since almost anyone can make a Web site, but it's much harder, and more expensive, to create a full-scale credit card system. (I've only heard of 5 or so credit card companies in the U.S. as of today.)
We should be allowed to tell the store guy "I'll give you credit online." We should be able, within a reasonable period, to go home and specify the store to give credit to, along with the credit needed.
Example: I want the latest pair of Nikes. I'd try my size on, and tell the store clerk I want to pay with credit. He'd give me a voucher with a unique code that can be used to give him credit (a bit like wiring money).
Within 7 days (a month if it was a car or something) I go to my credit card company's site (either from home or at a credit-pay computer nearby), type Firstname Surname and p#a$s%s123 or something, and I'd have an option to "Pay Store by Code." I type vendorCode456 and $100 and the vendor gets the money--and ONLY that money without compromising cardholder identity. If we don't wire the full credit in time, we must forfeit the purchase, or take a nice job in Rikers Island.
This would prevent card companies from taking advantage of our going over credit limits, since the limits would be right in front of us on the site. Also, we would not even need a credit card, since in theory anyone could have a code, and the online payment would probably give the vendor a mail voucher with the payment. We would remain completely anonymous.
What do you all think? Better than easy-to-steal account numbers, right?
Their sizes are so different, it's as if we can consider HD-DVD a missing link between DVD and Blu-Ray.
I wouldn't mind seeing both of them. Besides, big game makers would probably use the extra Blu-Ray space by keeping their video uncompressed or something. Someone's gonna find a way and excuse to fill any media. (My own installation of World Wind, combined with its cache, already takes up 1.35GB, and I've only used it two days. I've been looking around a lot of the world though, and the Tsunami pictures and Landsats...)
...translucent screens, and PNG wallpaper that makes full usage of their alpha capabilities.
Only when we can make walltops from those (or make translucent monitor mobiles by hanging a bunch of them) can we say "I have seen the top of the mountain...and it is good."
(To any Slashdotter implementing ads in our video games: please tell your superiors we don't like or want them. Or at least die so we can play sans such intrusion.)
I hear there's rumors on the, uh, internets that we're going to have a new Haler. We'll blast it off the neck of the earth with our nucular weapons. Questions from the press...?
Worse still, are you one of those annoying fucks who likes to call US residents "merkins"?
I thought those [does finger-quotes]"ernnoying ferks" called them Yankees. I call 'em merkins all the time. They're so adorable. Thank you all, and may God bless Merka.
I wonder if they will wind up putting little clocks into notebooks... that'd be really cool, I wouldn't have to have a watch anymore!
Especially in college, with all sorts of essays and typing. My watch tends to bump into things. (I buy 'em cheap so I need not worry.)

I was about to ask if you heart and not three technology, but I too sometimes think this is a plain-text comment thingy. Things like < must be written as < here (or select Plain Old Text in the HTML Formatted box next to Preview)...

Does the map zoom in/out as you move the mouse in Firefox? If so, then I hang my head down in shame, as an utter liar. In IE, the whole map gets all pixelly; once you release the mouse button, it returns to a normal, smooth image (a set of them actually, but I digress).
Just great! Now who's going to clean up this mess?
I'm sowwy, mommy! I pwomise I won't pwint a thousand maps from the factowy laser thingy again! I'll cween it up when I'm done watching my Girls Gone Wild tape.

Really, someone should fire the guys at A9. Perhaps the guy who trademarked "You're fired" will do that, once he sees his blocked building.
...their roofs have been edited to conceal surface-to-air installations.
You don't mean their transit maps, do you? They've been up for several years now.
...or Google Maps for that matter, either. They both use the same USGS Urban Area Ortho pictures that NASA World Wind can use. (I don't mean you, I mean any pending "M$" conspiracy theorists.)
Blame the government for trying to keep their own buildings from being seen in the Urban Ortho. (Interestingly, it's not concealed in the somewhat-lower-quality aerial ortho, also a USGS creation.)

Well, at least Lindsay Lohan isn't reading this. It's bad enough she went to the Halo 2 release party with her ex (warning: Windows Media video)...but rumors of Halo 3?!? She'd get a heart attack just thinking of that...

So Longhorn converted from Unicode to URL entities?* Talk about your two steps forward and eighty steps back...
*%20 is a space in URLs. See the RFC on URLs and one example. 20% is twenty percent.
...access the page in the story. Clearly we did a total conversion to the server (to burnt carbon, of course).

The evil Sphericalists tried to convince the world's people otherwise, so Google bought them and silenced the remaining heathens.
However Rosco P. Coltrane is not yet convinced of The Truth. He is a Traitor to the Masses, and so the War on Sphericalism must go on.
I'm sowwy, mommy! I pwomise I won't pwint a thousand maps from the factowy laser thingy again! I'll cween it up when I'm done watching my Girls Gone Wild tape.
Once Google adds the option to turn off SafeSearch on Google Maps, you too will be able to search for hot whores.
;)
I for one, can't wait.
On a side note, am I the only one who notices that dragging the zoom bar's handle has a smooth (fatbits or whatever one calls it) zooming effect* now?
Firefox users need not apply; I see it on IE only so far, so I'm guessing it uses script and their zoom "Microsoft extension to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)." (rough translation: it's a non-standardized property)
