...that in the other games, back to GTAIII, you could ALWAYS have sex with a prostitute. You can pull the vehicle up and wait. The hooker walks up, talk to you a while, and then get in. After that you have to go find a place to "rock the vehicle", AND you get more life, so it's encouraged. How is this any different? I mean, nobody raised a stink about it at least.
You know, what people fail to think about is this:
When you play video games, like Mario Bros., Frogger, even Pitfall, there are times in the game when you die, or fail at your quest. The old way that this was dealt with by the youth, was to either throw the controler, or pound the game console itself. Some even would take the game itself out of the console, and beat it a little. This is due to rage that builds up in the player of the game for failing over and over.
In these such games, you might fail at your quest, but the player is not "dead". You do not get a "Game Over" spitting at you, and having to start ALL THE WAY OVER AGAIN. ~~borrrrring~~
No sir, in these games, you can just push off and blow sh|t up and get it all out. So after the game is over, you kinda feel like, "Wow man, I've been blowing sh|t up all day. Let's go swimming."
A severe security issue has been discovered in Greasemonkey versions prior to 0.3.5 as well as the early 0.4 alphas which some people may have installed.
Install Greasemonkey 0.3.5 or uninstall Greasemonkey immediately.

Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension which lets you to add bits of DHTML ("user scripts") to any web page to change its behavior. In much the same way that user CSS lets you take control of a web page's style, user scripts let you easily control any aspect of a web page's design or interaction.
For example, you could:
Make sure that all URLs displayed in the browser are clickable links
Improve the usability of a site you frequent
Route around common and annoying website bugs
Use the Coral content network selectively.
Getting started:
Install Greasemonkey 0.3.5.

Greasemonkey was heavily inspired by Adrian Holovaty's site-specific extension for All Music Guide and the conversation which ensued after he published it. There were tons of sites I wanted to create SSE's for, but fully-fledged firefox extensions proved too cumbersome. I wanted it to be as easy to create an SSE as it is to write DHTML.
The current maintainers are Aaron Boodman and Jeremy Dunck with the invaluable help of an awesome community of user script enthusiasts.
Is it that people are Hypochondriacs, or has it more to do with people taking in information from a few different sources, and coming up with their own conclusion?
I know a lot of people that become "instant experts" on a wide variety of subjects, all because they googled something, went to a few different sites that gave a little detail into something, and they finish out the thought with their own ideas.
A good example is a good freind of mine, who thinks he's the next Einstein, because he reads some science-related site, that explains some of the laws of physics on an easy-to-understand level.
Besides, if someone is a Hypochondriac, then something's wrong with them.---Sorry I just had to;)
I played all the GTA games so far on my Sony Playstation2. Good game. I don't understand how a lady like Hillary Clinton could be moved by it enough to care though. I mean, it's a mod, not the original game itself. You have to change the content of the game before you can see the sex side of it.
Hillary comes home early from a hard days work. Bill is sitting naked on the living room floor, with PS2 game controler in one hand, and his [your name for shlong here] in the other
Hillary - Oh Bill, not again! WTF???
Bill - Oh uhh, baby it's not what it seems.
Hillary - Bill, you promised this wouldn't happen again. Where is she?
Bill - No, no, baby look. It's called a "video game" and you play it with this "video controler". Look baby, I got a thing called a "mod" and now I can have sex with girls, and I don't have to cheat on my wife!
Hillary - Well, let me see it.
---Hillary takes controller from Bill---
Hillary - Oh wow Bill, that is neat.
That's just the begining baby, look here, there's a secret code I can put in.
---Bill grabs the controler back and taps in the following...--- L1,L1,L2,R1,X,TRIANGLE,L,U,R,D,L, U,D
The game pauses for a moment, then BOINK! A cigar appears in hand.
On Monday, the company will announce a partnership with Pitney Bowes that allows members to buy customized stamps.
I can see a lot of uses for this, especially in the t-shirt market. Also, they don't have to stop there, they could very easily become the main source for personal customization. Other stores could just use them as a frontline, and do the work themselves. Just like they're going to do with Pitney Bowes.

Moscow is the capital of Russia
Each key could be programmed to produce any sequence

The police have guns, because if the criminals have guns, they want to be able to shoot back, right? How is this any different?
The only way it could turn out bad, is if the spammers learned a way to handle the traffic, and in turn, learn a way to defeat that method of handling the traffic.
Sorry, this was thought of as "OFFTOPIC". I just don't get the article. If this guy knew who the other guy was, and wanted to find out where that guy's wife lived uh, couldn't he have just followed him home one day? Hence the relivancy of what tool was used.
It's like saying, "I went to my neighbor's house in my 1994 Dodge Ram 1/2 ton pickup, with chrome side-steps, and dual exaust."
And even that he used these tools in the manner that he did, I STILL don't get the whole "use" for this. This is slashdot, "New for nerds. Stuff that matters". I don't think I'm the only nerd here that thinks that this guy is just blowing his own horn and trying to put the whole "Internet Information Ability" in a bad light. It would be like me going on and on for 3 hours looking for child porn, and saying, "OOH OOH look what you can do with the internet in just a little time".
He'll then see how much of the American people's tax dollars are being spent. His face will begin to brighten. Then to a small smile, until he is rolling on the floor laughing.
They don't say anything about price, life-span, or anything about things like, must stay in "x" amount of temperature. Are we to believe that this is anything like regular paper? It looks like plastic to me.
I figured that there'd be a lot of "fem-bot" jokes.
Really though, I wonder what type of house-hold she lives in, and how she got involved with the whole Microsoft certification. Surely it's not as easy over there as it is here.
It would be interesting if they were teaching it in schools over seas. Talk about blowing our economy out of the water.

Sorry for the pun, but he gave it all she's got, captin.
I just don't think it is right to tell someone "It's broke, here's the fix." without explaining what the problem is, or was.
Calm down dude, it's not such a big deal.

Notice hoe they avoid explaining the problem/solution. They just want you to see these new exciting features, and download it now!

But just think about the possibilities when combining the AutoLISP ability with this keyboard. Say bye bye to about 75% of keystrokes.
I can see a lot of uses for this, especially in the t-shirt market. Also, they don't have to stop there, they could very easily become the main source for personal customization. Other stores could just use them as a frontline, and do the work themselves. Just like they're going to do with Pitney Bowes.
This will be a good thing to replace digitizers, for those still using them.
