Gandalf is indeed a maia (god), and his first appearance in Middle Earth was around 1,000 in the Third Age, though, making his current form about 2,019 years old.
Well, hobbits (Ian Holm) only lived to 130 max. Ian Holm is going to be 5 or 6 years older, and he has to look like 70 years younger, that's a substantial amount.
yeah, but the space station orbits around the earth. Won't the tubes wind around the planet like a giant yo-yo, eventually pulling it back to the surface?
...and they can be quite fun... I guess your only option is to open up the new drives, swap the platters, and erase the data that way. Then swap the platters again if you wish so that they're (technically) new again.
Never tried it myself, though everyone on the intrawebs largely agrees that there are legions of the mighty dust army waiting breathlessly for you to crack open the drive so that they can invade it. There is apparently no invention of man capable of withstanding their attack, meaning a high possibility that if you perform this operation and then plug the drive back in, a single dust atom will be all that is needed to whir around frantically in the formerly pristine environment, loosing the veritable fires of Hades on your poor machine until it erupts in a wild, flaming mess, sending shards of platter in all directions to seek the soft flesh of babes and women.
but I have a feeling that Vista users will experience some of the same kinds of pain they've already endured with XP.
Exactly. It reminds me of The Onion's article on "World Death Rate Hovers at a Steady 100%" Microsoft says Vista will revolutionize security and make it (nearly) tamper-proof. When you look at how that's been promised in some form for every single OS they've released, and then later proven wildly false, you have to see a pretty consistent pattern.
what features are you looking forward to in vista?
Isn't that the point? Not only are we not getting any (useful) new features, but ones that already exist are being removed vias digitally restriction management.
Insightful. Like the workplace, schools spending a large amount of resources trying to make students happy would help with alot of the other problems they're having.
Yeah, it doesn't really make sense now that I think about it. Adjectives usually end in consonants, and it's adverbs that end in a y. Guess I have to take back all those "town sentry" jokes, eh?
Just curious, is using "crap" as an adjective some local quirk? I've been noticing it now for some time. Here in the states, "crap" is the noun form and "crappy" is its appropriate adjective.
That's why we have laws and penalties. What we need is stiffer penalties for privacy violations by companies.
Are they really violations? It sounds like this one company just didn't think their cunning plan all the way through. Don't most of them now have a clause that allows them to modify the privacy policy at will without informing the customers, and that continued use of the service is a de facto acceptance of the new terms?
It wasn't a joke, GP just used a bad example (I didn't know Valkyrie Profile was rereleased either).
How about Dragon Warrior? If supply was purposefully limited in the US because the company was boneheaded, you damn well have a right to sail the jolly roger instead of paying a high price.

So yeah, they don't recommend doing that.
I've been using that technique to clean labels off used DVD/video game cases for years. In most cases, it works.
Dude, I love that cereal. Especially after a little weed...
'rop me orf a mah hice ear the tar London.
"I'm sorry, could you please restate your desination!"
I held out for awile, but those morningstars are pretty intimidating.
Makes me wonder, if your CC gets stolen/lost & you don't have a bill handy, how do you remember what number to call and report it?
111-1111... Chase? Damn!
111-1112... Chase? Damn!!
They obviously heard of what happened to the Sharp Cereal Professor

we do have things like card systems for pupils to register entry into the toilets with Yeah, I bet that works just as well as the doors for an ATM.
West Philly? Well, I suppose they'll just have to movie in wit' their auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.

I think Lavos popping out of the earth wound really help humans to get their priorities straight for a little while again.

Our economic system is based on the idea of "profit at all costs." I mean, isn't this what we wanted and fought the cold war for?
