This brings up something that really bothers me; I wish that all references to legislation would simply be a number, instead of some (usually misleading) title. I keep waiting for someone to create the "Stop clubbing baby seals act" that in truth cuts funding for all public programs. It is too easy for people introducing legislation to avoid putting a spin on the name.
The last episode will be the best one, when the TV show fakes a leak in the station and they have five minutes to decide which of the three gets the two working space suits. Sort of like Lord of the Flies in space. I bet they will think it is soooooo funny when they find out it is just a TV show.
Yeah, it consisted of some story I don't recall wrapped around scenes with the central aim of showing Ms. Theron in tight fitting clothing, except the ones where she had nothing on at all. I give this movie three thumbs up by the way.
Actually I like the idea too: some current artists are so crappy that they will have to pay people to download their music!! I can't wait for the money to start rolling in!!!!
Just wait until Frank Smith starts suing the daylights out of people with combovers. Maybe he could create a website and pay people to report violators, giving them a cut of any money gained by suing balding people? At the very least it would make people quit trying to hide their baldness with a combover, which would be a good thing.
I just thought of something: what keeps hackers and/or competitors from writing programs that send gigantic amounts of bogus data to Claria's servers? Seems like that would kinda throw a monkey wrench in their wonderful business plan wouldn't it? Or maybe someone can convince the big ISPs to start filtering packets to Claria's servers.....
I want to get this for my SO so bad, just so I can take a picture of her face when she opens it. The only problem is she will then proceed to beat me with her new PVC whackin' stick, so maybe not.
I think growing human parts on animals is our best bet (like this mouse with a human ear on it). However mice would be too small for a whole face. How creepy would it be to drive by a herd of cows with human faces growing all over them???
I was so excited when I went to the Microsoft Windows website, seeing such titles as "Transforming Word Documents into the XSL-FO Format" and such. Now all I need to do is maybe not.go download the.exe to start translating on my linux system. Oh wait, that would be for Microsoft Windows only. Well maybe I should just go take a look at "Word 2003: XML Software Development Kit (SDK)". Now all I need to do is download the wdxmlsdk.msi file and run that. Oh wait, screwed again.
Imagine that, I look through the entire site and can't find a single executable or document format that doesn't require me to buy a Microsoft Windows OS and Office Suite. Lets all give Microsoft a big round of applause for their open XML format!
I have an old pentium laptop running damnsmalllinux at home with a cheap wireless card I picked up off of ebay. Now I can sit on the couch and connect into my main machine and run whatever I want (firefox, gimp, whatever) and display it back to my laptop. Luckily damnsmalllinux can install with a boot floppy (since the laptop couldn't boot off of CD). Another nice distro is monkey linux. If you have to install via floppy on a really really old machine, this one is worth looking at. If you are going to buy an old laptop, try to get one with a bootable CD, or at the very least a floppy and CD, since installing via any other method on old hardware is torture (though slackware with a zip/ls120 drive isn't too bad).
I just realized why there are so few replies to this story so far: everyone here is out trying to figure out how they can get their hands on $200,000 worth of legos. I could build my own home addition with all those; that would be awesome.
Actually if they can have one that broadcasts food preferences (I hate onions and pickles) we might be on to something here. I wonder if it is worth some of my privacy to not have to pick off the onions and pickles because I always forget to ask the Wendy's cashier not to put them on? Pretty much applies to all my other food too; just forget adding onions or pickles please.
Actually a bracelet or necklace with an RFID tag to wear around the house would be nice. Maybe a few for visitors too. Or even better I could embed one in my "lazy pants" (i.e. house-only sweat pants) and one into my SO's engagement ring. Having my machine boot into linux when it detects my lazy pants nearby and start beeping when my SO's engagement ring is approaching would be nice too:-)

Don't forget to write up the insect trap as a "...limitless supply of cookie toppings".

What would keep AOL and MSN from changing their nameservice records for www.google.com to search.msn.com instead?

Patent Hawk Invention Assistance is $125 per hour. Contact Patent Hawk for further details, and to find out whether Patent Hawk can help.
Cha right. And monkies might fly from my ass.
If they do then lemme tell ya, do I have the website for you!
Oh and I thought I would mention (I seem to always forget) I am in awe of your freak collection.

Luckily I know of some free apps you can download that will make your online viewing of Wired even more fulfilling! Don't delay, download today!!!!

Just wait until they find out that as a side effect of this treatment you smell your armpits as if your nose was right up against them all day long.

Plus now you really can go blind from looking at naughty pictures.
If you are having mime problems perhaps this will help?

I wonder if that version is printed on paper made from Ents (or perhaps the missing Entwives)?
Anyone who knows the similiar Star Trek quote this is derived from can safely assume right now that he will die a virgin by the way.
Bad news: for 500 of those years you have to wear diapers and are senile
Gee it sounds like a dream come true.
