And Mario teaches kids to do mushrooms. Ban Mario!
And Hungry, Hungry Hippos teaches kids to be gluttons. Ban hippos!
And tag teaches kids to ignore personal space and that assault is good. Ban tag!
And that's not even bringing up books. Oh, the crazy ideas Dr. Seuss is subliminally slipping into our children's heads!
Reminds me of some of the undercover documentaries about North Korea. When a society is afraid to honestly compare itself to others then that society is doomed to stagnate, or at least fall behind.
You'd think with the internet it would be easy to get information about the situation in other countries. Oh, that's right, with our superior connectivity it still takes too long to download that information.
How is carbon fiber made? If mass sequestration would make making carbon fiber easier then we could get cheaper, lighter car panels (among other uses) leading to better gas mileage.
I agree. I thought that Letterman, who came back on the air with his writers, was actually the weakest show. Conan was absolutely hilarious. Those types of shows really benefit from the personality of the hosts and I think sometimes a committee of writers can hide those quirky personalities.
Isn't a church just the house of God? And aren't we all just God's children? Is the NFL saying that God can't hang out at his house and watch football with his children?
Mark Cuban had a good article on his blog a while ago about wanting to get a song on his mp3 player, buying the CD in a store, but not being able to get it on his mp3 player right away. If the brick and mortar style stores truly want to save their butts they could offer up such a service. Walk in, buy music, download it onto your music player, and continue happily along with the soothing timbre of Barry Manilow in your ear - instant gratification!
What's to stop a sufficiently advanced civilization, outside of biochemical compatibility, from viewing us as "the other white meat" with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Don't worry. There is no alien fleet that can't be stopped by Jeff Goldblum with a Macbook.
'Our research has found that Asia is one of the most searched-for terms and by having a.asia website, your ranking on Google or Yahoo will become much higher.'
WIth that logic look for the new.britanyspears domain coming soon!
We have an opportunity for the internet to rid us of the huge corporate media companies that push out music aimed at the lowest common denominator in order to maximize their profits. As publishing and promotion costs decrease more independent musicians and small music labels will be able to take more chances on the niche bands, letting the artists deliver their true visions rather than having some corporate weenie force them to add more cowbell because that's what was on the last big album so now every album must copy it.
If one takes this behavior to its logical conclusion then it will become illegal to give gifts (essentially selling something for $0). Happy Birthday Timmy! Now give me $3 and you can have a slice of cake.
The internet is all things to all people. It is a friend, a lover, a teacher, an entertainer, a frustration, an escape, a supermarket, a community, a church, a workplace, etc. But mostly it is a source for porn, conspiracy theories and pictures of kittens.
Entrants must be 13 years of age or older, and a legal resident of one of the 50 United States, including Washington, D.C., Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada (excluding the Province of Quebec), Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.
I must have missed the US getting those new states.
Is this how we are going to raise our kids test scores - annex the countries with the good scores?
Just because your car can do 150 mph doesn't mean you have to drive that fast. This guy should take some personal responsibility and adjust the volume of his ipod to a level that is comfortable to him.
The primary impetus behind the ban is to protect students, McHugh said. The Web sites, popular forums for students to blog about their lives and feelings about their teachers and schools, are fertile ground for sexual predators to gather information about children, he said.
A lot of sexual predators also hang out on the
streets around schools. Should the kids be
banned from walking to school then?
Perhaps instead of implementing a blanket ban
on posting, the principal could institute a
program to educate the kids about the real
dangers on the net (chat rooms, strangers
asking to meet up somewhere) and how to
avoid them and how to report such activity to
the police.
I agree - how can a pay-for-use of anything be patented? I have used WCs where I had to pay for each use. Whatever happened to the non-obvious clause of granting new patents?
I seem to recall that one can patent either totally new ideas or the reusing of old products in a new way. So if the manufacturers of the ink cartridges say they can only be used once then, HEY - I just had an idea on a way to use an old product in a new way - refill the cartridge! How about somebody patent that?;-)
I think the entertainment industry should take this as a strong indication of things to come. They have an extraordinary opportunity to give people what they want - access to the entertainment whenever (and wherever) the viewer wants. The extent to which time-shifting has becoming commonplace (everyone knows what tivo'ing a show means) should be viewed as the start of, not the end of, the revolution in entertainment. The archives of home users will only continue to grow. I'd prefer to see the entertainment industry realize the demand is for the ability to view any program, any time and just archive their collections. Revenue could still be made by including advertising, or by charging per-download for advert-free content.

With the other threads with goatse jokes I am now very leery of following any links to pictures of holes while I am at work!

The safest seat in a crash is probably a window seat so God can better hear your pleas for him to save you.

and just didn't find us interesting enough to stop. Or were a little shy and couldn't think of anything witty to break the ice.

I never really liked having DST in the first place. Why not just adjust the time ahead 1/2 hour all the time and be done with it?
