Not much. Sauron's influence seriously retarded technological progress there. And the King of Fairies was mistaken for the King of Men, so Gondor is in a heap.
The whole geek community, in my experience, has gone apeshit Lefty. The whole country has gone bugfuck ideological. I just hope I can retire to Costa Rica or Belize before the whole thing unravels. It's over. Politics and lawyers and greedy fuckers and the masses of marching morons have already shot the great American experiement dead. What you see now is just nerves and twitching as rigor mortis slowly takes hold.
You get more benzene exposure from car exhaust while driving then you'll ever get from soda. It's everywhere. You get doses of it just breathing every day.
Why do people instantly buy into scaremongering stories like this? Look how there's already several posts crying "Why not the FDA doooooo something!"
Do what? Just don't drink soda if your panties got soiled by this story. Oh, and don't pump gas, either.
Oh, I'm in California and won't disagree.:) I want to get away from other Californians.
And the illegal alien problem is exactly as bad as talk radio makes it out to be, if not worse. There won't be any functioning emergency rooms in the entire Southland within a few years, much less freeways. An economy simply cannot sustain an influx of millions of unskilled people in order to save 10 cents on a head of lettuce.
But, oh, I'm a big racist for even thinking that it seems. (rolls eyes)
Because I plan to retire to somewhere as rural as possible. Gods, the stink and the noise of you people...
Have fun, urbanites, when your little towns blossom into fire, either suitcase nukes or via the inevitable breakdown of the social order when the average IQ reaches that of a ferret. Or they'll become vast concrete sepulchres after a good, old fashioned plague sweeps through them.
Nicholas Negroponte called Intel's move "predatory"
Huh? Isn't the point to get 'puters to the po' folks? Shouldn't the response be "the more the merrier?" Is Negroponte looking for monopoly control of this market? Intel has every right to do this.
...where it just used to be annoying. I know engineers and scientists and other smart folks who have avoided HDTV so far because of all the nonsense. It's bullshit. They took something simple and made a complete mess out of it.
I love the early adopter horror stories, like people who bought sets that only do 480p and 1080i, and are faced with 720p/1080p game consoles.
Or video game lag, and the TV manufacturers going "Duuuuuuuuh, video lag is a problem? Video games? Never heard of them! Wazzat? Duuuuhhh."
The there's HD-DVD versus Blueray, or Blu-Ray, or Blooraye or whatever the fuck they named it.
Plasma sucks. LCD sucks. DLP is sort of cool, but then you have to buy new bulbs at ass raping prices that make the printer ink market look charitable.
Seriously, has there EVER been a clusterfuck like this in the history of consumer electronics? I've never seen such a mess, and I remember the first color TVs.
- The spots to bomb have been obvious since the very first game with it's cracked walls or an oddly isolated bush or ring of something.
- Shift away from combat? Seems I fought an awful lot of enemies in TP. Maybe I had some special Spartan edition.;-)
- One of the dungeons didn't have puzzles: the whole thing WAS a giant puzzle. Sheesh! What more do you want?
- I got all but two heart containers in TP and it didn't seem like I had to got out of my way much. And the seer in town who could point you toward the remaining pieces was a great idea. A built in hint system you could use or not.

But, hey, there's a new American idol!
and people like you poison me with your cars anyway.
Poison idiots like you? OK, and with great glee.
The article referred to the benzene issue.

Millions of people drive to work at 65 miles per hour on giant freeways only one wrong move away from dieing an unexpected death.
Wow. The traffic actually moves on your freeways? Where do *you* live?
The scenery of giant buildings and thousand of other buildings and residences rushing by seemingly endlessly is beautiful in a way.
I heard modern day pot was more intense, but this is ridiculous! :)
I'm glad the world's population is more urban than rural.
Me too. More rural land for me, and at lower prices.
cities rock.
Yeah, sure, why not. Just do me a favor and stay there.
Because I plan to retire to somewhere as rural as possible. Gods, the stink and the noise of you people...

I'll be fishin'.
So then Intel's box isn't even in the same market, and the whole discussion is moot. Ah, Slashdot...

Coin slots on our modems. It was inevitable. :(
Oh well. Back to moon bounce.
Will you people STOP giving money to this company?!
We feel it has to solve all use cases
Do anyone other than an android talk like that?
I used to love drinking Olivine as a kid. Lots of vitamins, and I think it had electrolytes.
A Quayle joke? A *QUAYLE* joke??!!
What's next? Nixon humor? A quip about old Lyndon B?
Surely you all remember miss Didio and her corperate horse whispering.
Not really, no. Didn't she hold a seance at the Amityville Horror house?
Yes. Didn't you get the memo?
I did, but it was encrypted. :(
The real HP way went to Agilent.
I wish. Where's my shiny new Agilent RPN calculator?
There's nothing to do in the cell, except peer out the little barred window and watch the sun go down.
That sounds fun. Is there a single player version of this "cell" game?
Plus I love the English language. If you have to put profanity in every sentence, you're doing a lousy job of speaking it, and that annoys me.
Fucking spot on, man. I totally agree with your shit here. Peoples needs to get their assholes in order and speak rightly!
Wandering blindly through the smoking ruins of our civilization because humanity could not evolve past religion and ideology.
What? I should lie to you?
Sorry, while people like you and I may like science and tech and hope humanity continues advancing and maturing, we're outnumbered 10,000 to 1.
We haven't been colonized. Don't be silly.
The knock at your door is just a couple friendly men with large guns to take you someplace these questions will no longer trouble you.
Watching Discovery HD, it feels like you are really there!
For the cost of some HDTVs, you really COULD go there.
I guess HDTVs are the new cell phones... something people show off with zero realization that no one gives a flying fuck.
You are only hurting your self.
I'm hurting myself because I'd rather retire early than spend $3000 on a fucking TeeVee? Man, you've bought the marketing line hook, line and sinker.

I have a vague memory of an Omni magazine about a guy who had crafted all sorts of chess variants, including one with four players at once.
:)
Actually, hexagons isn't a bad idea.
Remember Archon from the 8 bit days? A chesslike game where you actually had to fight over the squares.
