I have to agree with you there. I remember at one point in my childhood, movies stopped becoming good and started becoming mediocre at best. This must have been the exact point where I was old enough to be critical instead of just passively watching.
I scan an item and put it on the scale; PLEASE REMOVE OBJECT FROM THE COUNTER.
I take it off; PLEASE RETURN ITEM TO THE COUNTER.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
PLEASE REMOVE ITEM FROM THE COUNTER.
I then walk to the normal line and get checked out while the machine is still throwing a temper tantrum from my anomalously weighted loaf of bread.
I agree that this technology could be used to mask things that they don't want you to see.
But how the hell can you say the riots were justified? The victims of the looting, arson, beatings, and murders had nothing whatsoever to do with the beating.
The article says it weighs about five pounds. Sure, I wouldn't want it to fly into my face, but I can't imagine there being that big of a danger from them.
Nah, the creationists will just say that it shows natural selection is a destructive force and can't create anything, and if you point out examples of evolution creating things, they'll say it's just microevolution and not macroevolution. With a 75% chance of them blabbering something about information theory as well.
Don't get me wrong, there is no shortage of bug exploiting spyware apps. However, even the best programmed OS in the world won't stop someone from downloading and running an infected exe.
Here's the latest rumor from E3. Apparently Crystal Chronicles 2 will require 8 Gameboy DSs, since each player will have to use a touch screen in each hand. In addition, it will require the purchase of a Wii to DS connector, along with a dual DS to Wii to DS connector.
Microsoft is backing Sigil games, which is making the Vanguard mmo, as well as a marvel comics mmo for the 360. If they're planning on putting it on the 360, then there's no way they'd let the competition onto the console.
Ever play Neverwinter Nights?
Early versions of this game had a red cross on all the healing kit items. After a particular patch, they replaced that graphic with a new one that had a blank spot where the cross used to be.
At least a failed shop has real assets that can be liquidated or salvaged. If second life crashes, you're left with nothing but the memory of ones and zeroes that used to be on a server somewhere.
Americans aren't all isolated and ignorant of the world. I've had quite a few friends in Africa that I've been in contact with for a while and am trying to help out. Strangely enough, most of them seem to be relatives of deposed generals in Nigeria trying to get their massive fortunes overseas.
The new features of TF2 sounded awesome and unique when it was first announced, the problem is that every one of them have already been used in every team based online shooter released since then.
I agree that most of the time lawyers shouldn't become involved, but I think that a lawsuit would have been perfectly justified when it came to stuff like "Hangly Man."
There are so many rogue antispyware applications: http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.h tm that all the good names have been taken. Plus it dodges the semantics issue over deciding if something is adware or spyware or malware or whatever. Just call it all badware instead.
Here is the best way to protect your children from bad things online:
1. Grab the phone or network cable in your hand
2. Pull
3. Temporarily reverse these steps when you can look over your kid's shoulders.
Your software can also be used maliciously, so it makes perfect sense for scanners to detect it. If it is being used legitimately, then the owner of the computer will know what it is, and tell the scanning program to not remove it.

Artifacts of the Norman conquest?
When the war is being fought in your neighborhood, it's rather hard to avoid it.

Wrong again. It stands for "Haploid."
They've since uncovered several more skeletons, all of the same stature.

I think I remember this documentary having a section on that lake: http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v _id=34649
I would spend so much time on this game that I'd make an obsessive compulsive WoW player look like a blind Amish grandmother.

And my mother said that chewing on batteries was bad for my health!

I don't know who this general Steve is, but he must be one heck of a math whiz!
Maybe back in the 19th that was the case, but today you'd be hard pressed to find them being treated any different from any generic white person.
