Principal: Hi Mrs. Poorkid? We caught your kid in school with a gum. Mom: So... guns are allowed, no? Principal: Yes, no wait. Oh. Never mind then. um wait. crud.

I can imagine me visiting my online banking and every page I hit gets sent to Google to detect my language and offer to translate my transactions and balances. Does anyone else wonder how much Google knows about my spending habits?
IMO, those who are not self-taught (and spent months in some "History of the Abacus" class) can search the Interweb for code samples and tinker around.
One day, they'll fill the gap and catch up to us.
pr0n is the main driving force for many technologies. It made things popular:
- Internet
- Movie Theatres
- DVDs (especially the multi-angle features)
- The VCR.
Unless Myers is willing to install a CPU fan in my chest, I'll keep my brain in my head.
While I'm at it, I'll keep other parts that may overheat exactly where they are too.
LCD vs CRT: No matter how fast the pixels show up on the screen, they're just not going away fast enough. I find myself shooting things that just aren't there anymore.
LCD + FPS = ghosting. CRT + LCD = bad color matching. 2 CRT = almost a footprint problem.
Needs for a 2nd monitor: A second monitor is great for games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, where you can take instruments such as the GPS, radio, etc. and place them on the second monitor. It's also good for web browsing while gaming. Flight Simulation requires that you look up charts and weather. You can make use of web pages when playing RPG games like WoW and Guild Wars.
A second monitor is also great for voice communication such as Teamspeak, Ventrilo. It allows you to peek over and see who's talking.
End of the day: A second monitor is 100% worth it. If you're an avid anything, two 19" monitors go for $300 CAD each.
As for footprint: 1. Pull your desk away from the wall 2. Push your monitors off the end so that the base is on the desk, and the back is on the wall.
Anyone else remember Apple's response to reselling iTune Songs?
"Apple's position is that it is impractical, though perhaps within someone's rights, to sell music purchased online," said Peter Lowe, Apple's director of marketing for applications and services.

I'd like to see the trike take pictures as it goes off Niagara Falls.
Why does the word "Parents" only show up once in TFA? "Her advice to parents? Move the computer..."
Does this bring back memories of a certain Polish teen who hacked a TV remote earlier this year?

Hey Messenger, bring back more Helium
Meh, I doubt he's even logged in. Anyone know Messenger's Hotmail Address?
On the subject, I got all excited to see my house on the "Earth Departure Movie" http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/the_mission/flyby_movie.html.
I was disappointed to see nothing but "Rock".
No ISS, no communication satellites, no Microsoft Nuclear Weapons Array. Nada.
Keyboards today should have a 'www.' and '.com' key. That would speed things up. I'd place it somewhere around the 'xxx' key.
I'll have you know, I happen to have ET and wouldn't mind a cure for it.

Back in my day, I played TradeWars on my BBS, I never used a 'Disc'.
Alright, I'll clarify what BWJones was thinking:
Put the telescope on the furthest point away from earth, on the other side.
He meant the "dark side" in terms of noise pollution.

I was still riding my motorcycle on Jan 13th, 2006...in Canada, nevertheless. Therefore, I look forward to 2006 stealing the gold medal.
