I was discussing this at lunch yesterday with some coworkers, and most of us thought it was an incredible waste of money. How many people do you know that when they want something, they open up their browser and just type what they want plus.com right into the address bar? Only complete fools do that and I'm honestly sure that population subset is very small and made up of old people.
One guy was defending their position rather well though, he basically said that whenever you do non-internet advertising, such as on television or the radio, having a very simple URL is a necessity for having people remember it for later on.
Really? Its groove? Does that mean we're going to see another article on how some guitarist spent two years of his life writing the login theme for Win7?
You also have stillsuits, one of the coolest and most imaginative things I've ever read in a book. The Freman's entire culture and way of life can be explained through this single piece of sci-fi clothing. Awesome if you ask me.
I'm in the Cities too and I have either 4 or 6 Mb service, whatever is not the top tier but one below. I get decent speeds, but I'm tempted to call Comcast about this tonight. $150 is out of my budget right now when I'm paying $60 for both internet and cable, so maybe I can negotiate a sweet deal.
Blackballed? I almost want to bet that Vegas bankrolled this movie in the hopes that a bunch of lousy gamblers and wannabe card counters head to their casinos and blow all their money.
You can also read the first chapter of Snow Crash here. The first few chapters are Awesome with a capital A. The rest of the book is good too but the first 50 pages are astounding.
So yeah considering Wikipedia as some kind of "omen" of general consensus among voters just makes me think of the jokes (from SNL i think?) around when WP was created like: "Wikipedia this July will celebrate America's 600th anniversary of independence thanks to General Hello Kitty's heroic strategies in the war with China." That actually sounds funny, so it can't be SNL. Probably the Onion.
Yeah, Zombies Ate My Neighbors is a fun game, plus you can just call it ZAMN which is awesome too.
Let's see what else... I've played Spanky's Quest, that's actually a decently fun game. Leisure Suit Larry 3 and the Long Alliteration, I'm sure I played that sometime in my youth. Tech Romancer was a fun rental a decade back, and that has a cool name if you ask me. I own Tactics Ogre but I never knew the subtitle was "Let Us Cling Together". That's pretty hilarious.
And honestly, if you would think about some of the long-lasting series' titles now, you'd probably laugh: Final Fantasy, Mega Man, etc. I was just thinking last night that game titles are generally much different than movie or book titles. They can be super long and non-nonsensical and people won't care. Look at: Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations.
Anyways, that list kinda sucks. Don't go beyond the first page as they're just lame after that.
Actually, the Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure programs at many of the leading auto industry R&D programs, are working on exactly this approach. So does this mean we have six different major programs and six different "standards", or are they all working together and actually developing something that can be implemented within the next 10-20 years instead of having every other city using a different system and basically never having a nationwide/worldwide standard?
I love/hate this quote from here, article linked from the site:
I have had health challenges, and my body cannot handle wifi...it gives me headaches and makes me very sick. I would be unable to go to the store, shop. I have enough problems being limited in my travels, it is outrageous that a place so environmentally conscious would create this in our/my hometown. In Europe they are much more advanced than us, and there wifi is not allowed in cities in the European commonwealth. These are the kind of people that tick me off to no end when trying to deal with city affairs: the ignorant liars.
Not having an A record would make it quite hard to view, so I didn't even try. So instead of just pasting the site in your address bar to see what was there, you did a dig query on it?
Sorry, I don't really mean to sound sarcastic... Friday afternoon...

You know, Slashdot is virtually a blog. But I guess that supports your talent notion.
According to this post, the Linux support is free.

Well, now that domain tasting has supposedly been eliminated, and Google has cracked down on them too, we should see some improvement over time.
and the latest Missing White Woman.

It's much easier to pull the stickers off. Though less fun I suppose.
Ever since I was a kid I wondered who this Haley was that first threw a comet out of our atmosphere.
Depending on which side of the box you're reading, a thousand dollars may either equal $1000 or $1024, whatever is more convenient for us.
This is a fun site to read, but it doesn't appear he has updated it in over a month! Hopefully not all of these companies have caught on by now...
Wow, that was awful. My favorite part was where they showed a 100 line C program and the Erland "equivalent" which was simply:
X=person(address("Big street", 23), telno([1,2,4,6,7,9]))
SO MUCH POWER!
You should see them running on alcohol, now that's a trip.

Wow, I didn't realize that, thanks for the update, Alexx K.
