Not defending PETA or anything, but... The idea that the human/pokemon team can "accomplish anything together", still involves one individual capturing another against it's will and using it for it's own ends, which in the case of pokemon is to use them to fight eachother. The real life equivalent of pokemon is cock fighting.
After speculating that the person responsible must be a real badass, police have released this composite sketch of what they think the culprit looks like...
So far, the only significant bit of evidence found at the scene where these barrels were retrieved was the cryptic phrase B. Worth, written in syrup on the floor.
Designed to last for 5 billion years? Won't it and the Earth be one with the sun in about 3 or 4 billion?
Anyway, I think we should baffle the aliens with a bit of bullshit and have a set of pictures that are screenshots of the Death Star destroying Alderaan. Hilarity ensues when word gets out about this and aliens from all over the galaxy scramble to tear up our long dead world in search of any useful information about this tech that allowed the great and ancient civilization that thrived here to build a space station with enough firepower to destroy an entire planet.
Like I said, it was quite a few years ago. I was using Firefox like I do now. I tend to avoid IE vehemently. I also may have been doing it on a Debian system back then. In fact, I am pretty certain it was Debian and not some sort of Windows, as I had never got around to figuring out where a hosts file would be back then on Windows.
Now that I think about it, it was back when I used only Debian, which was at the tail end of my 98SE usage, and the system I had built at the time had stability issues with 98, so I switched fully to Debian for a while).
Or you can just cut them all (ads, malware, spyware) off at the ankles and install a HOSTS file like the one at http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm.
Last time I tried the hosts file trick, which was several years ago, I kept getting bombarded with annoying "Document Contains No Data" pop ups every time something got rerouted to 127.0.0.1
That pretty much made Web browsing impossible. Is there a way to suppress that error? I remember searching for a solution back then, and all I found were the same question with no answers.
Sounds like Bank of America. At least they let you use a mix of upper and lower case and numbers.
Really? My B of A password does indeed contain several "special" chars.
And frankly, 16 character length including numbers, CAPs, lowers, and specials in a random string - is quite enough for most normal password use.
I do have some 52 char random string passwords, but really, back to the main subject here, for Hotmail? Seriously, 16 chars is fine, if you use random strings.
Hmmm. They must have changed it in the recent past then. Guess next time I log in to do a transfer or whatever, I should test and see if I can give a new password with special characters.
and it's a time to take these asswipes out back and put them out of their misery.
Or at the very least, take Clarissa, Denice, Julie, Kamren, and Sheena out back, and as a lesson to future patent trolls, give them publicly televised spanking.
I'm currently logged in on one of my characters on Virtue, and trying to keep up with the chatter about this in the global channels.
One thing that has stood out there is a rumor is about the game engine that NC licensed from Cryptic when the 2 split. The rumor is that the license was for 5 years, and it is about to expire. Will need to wait and see if anyone who really knows can confirm or deny this rumor.
Most of the time, price variations between merchants in a game are, in fact, deliberate. Unless you can prove that these people cannot possibly have been unaware that the pricing was in error (e.g. a negative or zero price), your argument makes no sense.
Since in this case, apparently the buyback price was higher than the sell price (at the same vendor, not between different vendors), then anyone who encountered this should have definitely known something was amiss, and that this was an exploitable bug.
Representative Ben Wade stated that evolution is just a theory
And here is yet another political dipshit that does not understand that a theory in scientific terms is much more than just unfounded speculation.
What would he call the creation myth then? Since it isn't testable scientifically, it is not even a theory. It is merely an unfounded fairy tale, no more believable than the idea that the universe was sneezed from the nostrils of the Great Green Arkleseizure.
Creation and other mythologies do not belong in the science classroom. Their place is in social studies and philosophy classes instead.

Cthulhu / Dagon - why vote for the lesser evil?
Dagon, of course. Doesn't seem evil, really.

How is Pokemon in any way similar to something like this?
The real question on everyone's mind is where they stand on Pokemon liberation.
Screw Pokemon Liberation. How about Pokemon Libation instead? Hang out and get falling down drunk with Ho-Oh, Articuno, and other favorite Pokemon. :)
To even be able to touch the TRS-80s in the computer lab, you had to have at least a C average in Algebra.

A Real Badass
So someone is trying to frame her? I heard there is a Log Cabin near the scene that may warrant investigating.

Oh yeah, we also need the obligatory Goatse picture as well.

Now do a millisecond of research, and find out what the real quote was, so that you don't ignorantly parrot an incorrect one again.
How about this then?

Violations of Poe's Law will be tried in the U.S. after extradition.
Quoth me, "Never more."
So having a living snake put up your ass is no longer merely a penalty for striking a Roman citizen now? Very creative.

12 letters, no special characters my ass.
No, you may not know which bank I use.

Now with helium in the drive, all your mp3s will sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Or is it Helium? In that case, the Tharks will be constantly attacking your computer.
Oh if you were part of a minority that doesn't have superpowers, you would feel the bitter sting of inferiority.
Just remember, if you are given a choice between Adamantium claws or mutant healing, Always take the mutant healing.
Has it been tested on leppards?
What's the Rush? This isn't a Fly by Night operation.
Sounds like those mental midgets did you a big favor by not hiring you into their little circle of hell.
Yeah, it takes skills to deal with the trapezoidal apple cobbler.
And it would probably blow your math teacher's mind to realize that Pi R Square is wrong. Pi R Round.
Now time to go step outside and gather some fresh blackberries.
