*Rocking back and forth*
Ayyup.
Nothing wrong at all.

They could just finish it and hold on to it too.

You don't have 150 freaks. You have 166. After this post, you will have 167.
Folks, let's see if we can get him up to 200 by close of business day.
You are pathetic.
I was thinking more of:
*BOOM*
"An explosion, like the one that just shattered the classroom windows, demonstrates how much energy is released from igniting hydrogen and oxygen mixed together. This energy, properly contained, can propel a spacecraft - or this wastebasket. Watch!"
When I was but a mite, the first science teacher I had lined us up holding hands, and then placed an electrode in the first and last child's palm.
Then he cranked a generator and laughed maniacally while we screamed and thrashed around, unable to let go.
A true visionary.
I have to do a lot of research in my work, and I really don't feel like researching just to find enjoyable music.

Only moral solution I can come up with. Perhaps there are review sites that cater to my tastes, and I can locate them at some point.
I have been listening to Pandora, discovering new artists, and had begun to buy music again (most of my music collection is CDs bought in the Eighties).
Guess I'll just go back to listening to my 'oldies' - I can't be bothered to keep fighting the music industry to accept my money.
The future is what we make it. Isn't that the point of scifi?
Well, it was the point of the Back to the Future movies:
Jennifer: Dr. Brown, I brought this note back from the future and now it's erased!
Doc Brown: Of course it's erased!
Jennifer: But what does that mean?
Doc Brown: It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you!
Marty: We will, Doc.
I will be interested to see how much Firefox code is in Chrome... and down the line, how much Chrome code will be pulled into future versions of Firefox.
The ability to improve your codebase is one of the strengths of open source. This is a great opportunity to display that strength.

Of course it is. That's just common sense.

Any operating system that our crop-pollinating overlords prefer is all right by me!
Not a bad deal, but I'll want to see the flop.
...anyone who bought a graphics card directly from Nvidia or ATI's website in the US ...

I don't get much spam. When I do, I want something rough-sounding to bark.
Don't listen to U2, so yes, those would qualify.
