I'd wouldn't put Charo anywhere near that group. She was an outstanding flamenco guitarist and was headlining Vegas shows by her early 20s. She was known for her little catchphrase, but she was hardly like the talentless boobs were saddled with today. I think she still tours today.
When was the last time you saw a hunt-and-peck pianist?
Er, the last time I watched a friend *compose* a song on the piano, which is a better analogy. Hit some notes, write something down, hit some more notes, and so on.
This Atwood chap is a bit of a self important tool, isn't he?
Yes, the DMV lets you schedule an appointment online, and you walk in at the scheduled time to a special window, bypassing the lines completely. For some reason very few people know about this. I went to contest a late charge for my registration (the foul up was on their end), and I was in and out in 10 minutes, and even had a sweet, young Japanese girl happily eliminate the charge with a smile. I waved jauntily at all the poor fools standing in the lines as I left, walking along like Strutting Leo DeCaprio.
The money spent of even silly luxury items doesn't exactly go in to a black hole, you know.
For example, people gawk at the opulence of things like the Newport mansions and tsk tsk at the concentration of wealth, but the lavish spending on those places bootstrapped many industries in that area that exist today. Some well known architectural firms, fashion labels and art museums owe their existence to a few family's mad drive to mirror European royalty.
You need to consider that scent is as almost a large part of a cat's perceptual universe as sight. Even the best CGI or robotic cat simulation won't have the scent.
There's simple artistic concerns as well beyond the math. Zemeckis and others need to sit down and understand why Pixar's hand crafted, "super deformed" characters come across as orders of magnitude more realistic than high tech attempts to directly dump humans into the computer. I've always felt if you want realistic humans just use actors, and CGI everything else.
The geek universe, where any human emotion or interaction is "Soap Opera". They should have had the Destiny staffed by only IT guys bent over keyboards trying to get Ubuntu to install onto the ship's computers. In episode three they could have gotten the ship to synthesize Mountain Dew.
I shop at a Pavilions despite the fact that the much cheaper Stater Brothers and Ralphs are just a couple blocks further. They remodeled the Pavilions with wood floors and indirect lighting in place of the florescent glare and linoleum, and it is just so friggen nice in there. They also have a killer deli and butcher. Nice meats.:)
It's hard to find an electronics place with good staff. I usually rely on places like AVS forums. I look for the models with the least complaints because, well, they complain about everything there.
Some require information that I wouldn't have when answering a phone call in the middle of whatever it was I was doing. For example, I'd have to go pull my tax records to say for sure if they went up or down.
Slashdot Mirror
you're awesome.
I know. :)
Really? My example above was just last year and I got an appointment just a week out.
It inspired me to be a giant tree.
Still working on it, but as a computer geek and gamer I've got the whole "stationary" thing down pat.

Buckaroo Banzai! You can be into particle physics and still rock out and save the world from the Red Lectroids.
So kids want to be eight foot tall and blue?
He's probably joking, but I still wanted to reach through the intertubes and punch the guy in the balls.

Sweet mocha Jesus, we're your parents killed in a tragic queueing mishap?
The Fresh & Easy stores in my area are self serve only. Just tossin' that out. :)
LOL! Whatever, Mr. Dickens.
Those mansions supported multiple generations of craftspeople and construction workers and their families. *shrug* Whatever, kid. Merry Christmas.
To the owners and employees. What? Jobs are *bad* now?

Have you always wished that Christmas classics were written in Klingon?
No.
Claim it will revolutionize the field of electronics. Slashdotters overwhelmingly skeptical.
Both Lockheed and Northrop Grumman are woking on gaydar invisible make-up.
Aircraft! I meant aircraft!

ZOMG! UN troops in Fargo! To arms! To arms!

I used to throw darts at the newspapers to find the truth. Hey, it works (sort of) for picking stocks.
Had to stop when the internet came along because the darts just chipped the monitor screen.
