You really think the federal government should be involved in the education of our children? There are over 13,000 school districts in the United States, each and every one of them with their own distinct needs and situations. What possible help could the federal government provide for them? The local government knows what is best for its students and should be the sole decision maker for them too. Interference from the federal (and even state) will just gets in the way because they're making decisions for millions of kids instead of just hundreds.
This is my biggest complaint about Twilight Princess. For 90% of the game, we have a brand new villain and a brand new side kick in Zant and Midna. They are interesting, have cool back stories, and all around fresh for a somewhat stale Zelda universe. Then all of a sudden, it's like the writers had some kind of epiphany that Zelda and Gannon HAD to be in the game and if they didn't play their stereotypical, cookie cutter roles we've seen 10 times before, the title wouldn't be worthy of being called Legend of Zelda.
I was incredibly disappointed and I finished the game only knowing I was just a few hours from being done. It was honestly a slap in the face for getting to know and love the new characters, Midna especially.
Well, the average US gamer's age is 35 years old, that's still not quite in the range of growing up with the Beatles but who hasn't grown up listening to them? I think this will go over well. Parents, when faced with the option of buying Guitar Hero World Tour or Rock Band 2, they might have heard that they can get Beatles' songs with Rock Band 2, and that's the deal breaker.
Well, there are other candidates besides the two, Bob Barr says the next president should get out of Iraq and Afghanistan as soon as possible. And Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich were both for quick withdrawals. And undoubtedly a lot faster than Obama plans to.
I don't use twitter at the moment or have any plans to, but I grabbed a few for myself that I may use in the future just to have them. I can't see anyone actually squatting them to stop me or asking me to pay up, but this way I avoid the situation all together.
I once saw an interview with a few of these people that work for the FBI, however, the interviewer really botched it all by trying to ask stupid questions like "has anyone ever been fired for taking the pictures home?" instead of actually getting into the emotional toll it must wreak on these people (most of whom were women if I remember correctly).
I bought a Wii at launch but sold it to my brother in law a month and a half later. I had beaten Zelda, played the crap out of Wii Sports, but nothing else was on the horizon. The only games I've remotely been interested in in the last two years were Metroid, Mario Kart, and Smash Bros., I've gotten to play them all for a bit since then and actually feel like I got my full (this coming from someone who put 2000 hours into SSBM).
I'll probably get a 360 around Christmas, more games have come out for that in the last few months that I want to play than have come out for the Wii in the last two years. Kinda sad, I think I and Nintendo have parted ways.
I live in the Twin Cities and saw gas for $2.15 this morning! It hasn't been $2.79 in over a month, well, granted I live in the south metro area so maybe it is taking a little longer to propagate down up there.
8 hours is significant because I believe for that update, Nintendo had something like a three or four month development, testing, release schedule. This is of course not out of the norm for an update that will affect millions of people, but I can't imagine how much money was put into "fixing" the homebrew problem only for it to be cracked again in hours.
They pretty much did all those in Rama II, the lackluster sequel to the amazing Rendezvous with Rama... I won't get into that right now, but basically they sent a ton of people into space and lied to them about where they were going. There was a convict ship, intellectuals, etc. This was basically written like this so that Gentry Lee could have the displaced humans basically destroy themselves.

I miss the yes, no, maybe tags.

This is interesting, but the CSS used is still obnoxiously bad.
First again?
You assumed you were first, and by doing that, you changed the outcome.

It also breaks down from all that use so they have to keep replacing the actor.

We have credit cards just for these kind of situations!

The constitution applies in the following zones:
You don't need to tell me that Washington D.C. is within 100 miles of the coast to prove it's a Constitution-Free Zone.

My point is that it is beyond advertising. Apple doesn't need to anything (like not comment on a rumor) and it's the talk of the world.
Plus I've never seen an ad the Googlephone...

Probably because T-Mobile and Google don't have the Apple hype-machine/blogosphere/rumor sites going insane over unreleased products?
You are standing in a open field, west of a white house.
The house walks away.
That's nothing, CowboyNeal even voted in 2004!

Piracy in Somalia has gotten really serious lately, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piracy_in_Somalia
18 pretty major events in the last year alone.
And so was Atlas Shrugged, I'm waiting for John Galt to interrupt my regularly scheduled program any day now.
Huh? Firefox 3 is in production. Firefox 3.1 is in beta. As in real beta, not out yet, in testing.
