"Microsoft's Xbox marked the software company's debut in producing hardware of any kind"
That was 2001 they were talking about... I remember having microsoft controllers for my PC prior to xbox. I distinctly remember having them in my apartment which was before November '01... Wait... did I just admit to having microsoft hardware on/.? *ducks and hides*
Don't forget the Atari Lynx. It had great hardware, some really awesome games (Blue Lightning to name one), but... people associated atari with the 2600... I had many people say "Why would you get one of those?" and then went on to compare it to a 2600...
Gallifrey, the home planet of the Time Lords, is in its own time stream, so to speak. In other words, there is no time travel on that planet. If you go there, its always 'Gallifrey time'.
As far as the Time Lords regenerating after the time war, they were obviously killed in a way that their bodies could not support regeneration. Time Lords have two hearts. If one fails, the other heart keeps going and rearranges all the cells in their body. If they are hit with a bomb, for example, and the majority of cells are destroyed, and both hearts stop working, they can't regenerate.
FTFA: "US series Stargate SG-1, now in its 10th series, holds the world record for "longest-running science fiction show (consecutive)"."
I realize having the record for longest running probably disqualifies Doctor Who from consecutive... But last time I checked 26 (seasons) > 10... Maybe they don't count it because there were 7 different actors playing the same role (although I have to admit, I know nothing about SG-1)
I think Monty Python made being invisible unnecessary with their "How not to be seen" skit.
Just don't hide behind a single shrub in the middle of a field...
I think the parent post was from Canada (unless Future Shop has made its way into the US), where BestBuy employees do not make commission. (Future Shop does though)

How to Win on Ebay: Snipe
·
· Score: 3, Interesting
Proxy bidding is supposed to allow easy auctions with fairness. The problem is the sniping phenomenon. And there is an easy fix: A bid will extend the auction by ~10 minutes if received in the last 10 minutes. Voila, no more sniping.
Yahoo! Japan already does something similar... I think its 15 minutes. Makes things much more fair for the seller.
I remember watching my brother complete Pitfall II... The only way I was able to beat it was to turn the Atari on and off quickly in order to cause the system to glitch and drop Harry right next to Quickclaw (or was it the diamond) that you see right on the first screen, but is the last treasure to get. The get hit by a bat, and you end up at the start, and are able to go get the first two treasures which I never had a problem doing.
Can't... it's required for Windows Update! If you don't update, you're screwed!
Sure you can. Just get the patches from the KB article pages when they come out. If you're smart enough to disable Active X, you shouldn't have a problem finding them...
You said it yourself, they don't know why you're doing it. I think the effect would be much more effective, if you were to hurl a bucket of paint on them:)
Ya, you're right... I didn't make myself very clear...
I just find throwing popcorn at people on the phone more entertaining then most of the crap hollywood puts out these days...
Pffft. Who needs nanotubes. I just chuck popcorn at someone yakkin' on the phone during a movie. Half the time, they don't even realize why I'm doing it.

Peter Griffon: "They have those?!"
So, I've looked around a bit, and I don't see any sign of a break in that 26 year run.
Unless you count a BBC strike between season 22 and 23. And of course, during 'Shada'...

I don't think your first post was totally off. Isn't the schartz when you fart with some sort of splatter involved?
I love Japanese games. I'm sooooo happy their making it region-fwii!
I once had a salesman try to upsell me on a gold plated toslink optical cable. I had to leave the store I was laughing so hard.
Why do they even make those?
I think Monty Python made being invisible unnecessary with their "How not to be seen" skit.

How is the RFID tag the government installed in the back of my neck while I was asleep going to affect this?

So that lettuce that got left in the refrigerator too long, that's really alien bacteria/fungus/whatever turning it reddish and slimy.
Man... They should send some scientists over to my place... I think I have a whole colony of aliens!
On the other hand... I'm sure AI would be more peaceful than some that would get their hands on the technology
Nobody messes with Nintendo Wii...
Can I get a bigger one?!
