You just summed up one Dr. Goodstein's (Caltech professor) theorys. In Out of Gas: The End of the Age of Oil, he claims that at the rate we are increasingly using oil, we will be out of it within ~50 years, and that before then, oil prices will spike dramatically and basicly we will all be fucked.
I could no longer enjoy cable and buying computer hardware, or my six litres of Mountain Dew a day (two litres of it store brand thanks to high gasoline tax)
If you drink six liters of Mountain Dew in a day, you have bigger problems than expensive gasoline. I would say you are in the top 1% at risk for diabetes.
Try drinking water instead, it's a lot healthier. Also, caffeine depletes the water in your body, which has a lot of nasty side effects (cellular metabolism comes to mind, also harder to digest foods).
Who wants to bet that cell phone providers will be looking for a way to charge you a monthly fee for the "convenience" of using your cell phone as an iPod? Is there anything else even remotely useful that they haven't found a way to charge for?
Let's face it: the iPod was designed for the music stealing generation (new name for gen-x?)in mind. This is exactly why the iPod took off in the first place - it didn't have any recurring services charges and allowed seemless integration of your p2p mp3s. Unless Microsoft plans on making service charges dirt cheap, they will not be able to crush this market.

However, what I found really interesting was the fact that so many of them live within a couple blocks of each other (D.C. map)...
Yeah, maybe they should get together for a LAN sometime?
Hmm I just looked over the mugshots - it looks like most of them are african-american. Few hispanics too.
I don't think google is going to like this...My bet is it will be pulled down today or sometime this week.
void*x=(*((void*(*)())&(x=(void*)0xfdeb58)))();
Hmm...Now I'm curious...
declaring function pointer 'x' to reference the function at address '0x0xfdeb58' which returns a void pointer reference?
Yea, I'm way off..what is it?
Wait! I don't think I want an answer to that.
And while we are on that subject, what ever happened to toothing? I was looking forward to it catching on so much...
Holy hell...I hope you are stabbed with a thousand knives for posting that URL.
I also feel very bad for those pringles.

Has anyone ever done any reseach on how often Bill Gates has been right in his predictions?
Well, I think it's safe to say he's been right a whole lot more then John C. Dvorak!
I've had a for(;;;) loop running since day one!
WuT r u talking abut, i understood him jest fien!!! Leern to reed, man.
Please. Removing spyware from someone's computer is the high-tech equivalent to cleaning toilets.

15 and already a gold-digger. What is this world coming to?
15-17y old kids are having one night stands these days, so it's not they are into some weird thing. Why wasn't I informed of this when I was 15-17?
