What does that have to do with Christmas? Heck, anyone who claims to be a Christian and celebrates Christmas must not pay much attention to their religion. Christmas is a purely secular holiday that those wayward Christians are foolishly attempting to co-opt.
They could pull an iCarly and do SplashFace, ZapLook, ToonJuice and the like. Very cool way to have real fake websites, with even the potential of AR, like back when they had that old InYourUnderwear.com to match that ad back in the day (no longer works). There's no reason to blatantly break the fourth wall with 555 numbers and 256.1.2.3 IPs all the time.
That's why you spend $5,000 on a shiny, underpowered Mac product rather than spending $100 on crappy looking netbook that can perform the same tasks without looking awesome.
The insurance company, cable company and phone company all use it as a unique identifier, not to run credit checks. Likewise the doctor needs it to give to the insurance company as a unique identifier.
Seriously? I can't think of a form I've filled out ever that didn't ask for social security crap on it, and I sure as hell am never going to get anything from the actually social security funds. Full: car insurance, bank, credit reports, credit cards, health insurance, my doctors, my wife's doctors, my son's doctors, the dentist. Last 4: my college, cell phone (Verizon always did... I think T-Mobile does too), cable company, miscellaneous forms at work. I mean, what kind of rock do you live under where you think extricating our social security number from every part of our life is in any way feasible?
Yes, I'm quite certain that republicans are very well known for citing references with names like "treehugger." And I don't see how discussing the oil spill could possibly be deemed not relevant to a discussion of the oil spill.
I didn't say it was his fault, I just said it was his legacy. I'm quite certain that the civil rights movement and the Apollo program would have happened with or without JFK, but many people refer to those things as his "legacy."
Ya, it was almost as bad as that stupid "Mario" game... I just feel like I'm jumping on koopas down a hallway, you know?
Free roaming is nice, but 3d graphics don't necessitate non-linear gameplay. If you can concede being railroaded, as people are implicitly willing to do in scrolling games, you might find you enjoy the actual gameplay a lot more.
That said, Mirror's Edge just felt like a well done 3d Mario to me, and I agree it didn't deserve too terribly much praise.
Ya, it doesn't seem very likely that people would continue to buy phones that reliably make phone calls when they could spend more than I spent on my first car to get a phone that drops your call if you accidentally hold it comfortably.
Nokia makes good phones. Your prophecy will only come true if they completely ignore their workers and hold tight with Microsoft.
Actually, I'm completely serious. I mean, why not just do like we did with taking the impossible square root of negative one and make division by zero another imaginary axis? 1/0 =k, 2/0 = 2k.
Look, saying the only reason for not dividing by zero is that it's "undefined" suggests that the only reason we can divide by two is because it is defined. Does math only exist because we've defined it? If not, then division by zero must have some definition we simply don't know yet. Otherwise, if we do have to give make up a definition for it to have one, then it not having one just means mathematicians are too lazy to come up with one.
Often I've heard the conceptual argument where you can't divide something into parts of size zero, it doesn't make sense. But, seriously, it does. You can divide something into zero-sized parts all day long, and you'd keep getting them forever. That's called infinity.
I'm sorry, but "undefined" is not a sufficiently satisfying explanation to me, and you really shouldn't be happy with it either.
This is exactly what I always said about the Nazis! And Pol Pot! And Rwanda! And Haiti (early 90's Haiti... but I suppose humanitarian aid is precluded by steadfast nationalism, too...)!

The FBI has released a public statement, though, regarding a translation of one of the later notes: "You'll put your eye out!"
Um, no. You're very wrong.

What, I slaughtered and butchered that donkey and went to all that work and now you're saying I'm not allowed to have ass burgers? Jeez, you jerk!
Psh, I saved 30% on car insurance in just 30 minutes by switching to some guy in an alley.
Um, nerds. Thus /..
WTF am I doing replying to an AC at 5 A.M on a Friday night?
5 AM is no longer night time.

That's cute, but I like my job.
Which is why every time I call the cell phone company they ask for the last four of my social. Because they're doing a credit check. Right.

Obama's legacy. That or this empty-promise of a universal healthcare system, which is also coming along swimmingly, just as expected.

It's nice that you at least pretended to read my post. Maybe next time you could actually read what people say before you reply to them.

Seems like a pretty silly rule to me.
Who says?
Technically, it would also be 0%.

Whatever happened to sovereignty, huh?
