Couldn't you just see the pitch on that one.
TV Exec 1: "We take this planet, wipe off the indigenous reptilian life. Seed it with these agressive mammals and watch the hilarity ensue."
Later on it would be:
"This season we are gonna crash a ship into the planet with some fake bodies and then we will skim low in some ships just to make them nervous."
I have to agree. Having lived in a remote area with no public transportation without a car employment is near on impossible. what i think needs to happen in those kind of cases is a severe overhaul of insurance rates. however I do believe that in most major cities where public transportation is easily available a car is not needed at all.
The worries you list are really just the result of a lack of education with guns. I grew up around guns, my father is an avid collector. I was taught at an early age what a gun was, how to use it and how to respect it. I dont like guns myself, I never felt the need for one. I do however think that gun safty should be a required course in schools. Guns are nothing more then tools, dangerous tools, but no more dangerous then a chain saw or a drill. As long as the person handling them is trained in their use and takes the proper precausions there is minimal chance of an accident.
My local grocery already has this. they have hand held scanners that you check out with your discount card and you carry arround with you so you can total your order as you go and then transfer it into the self check out. all thats left is for you to bag your stuff and get out. But the hand scanner has a nice large screen that flashes adds for things depending on what you have scanned, what you have previously purchased, and where you are in the store.
This just in, Loud mouth CEO down plays and insults competition.
Really people, This is in no way suprising, of course Ballmer is going to insult anything that isnt microsoft. At this point I think we should all do our selves the favor of ignoring anything that comes out of his mouth these days. Except maybe to have the occasional laugh at something wildly outrageous.
This was actualy motivated by a large payment from fox news as they would also lose their press status if strictly being unbias was enough to disqualify.
But they only get an IP address from that client. From there they resort to other means to make that IP mean something. And not always does this lead to the correct person anway.
I have to say My high school had a decent program to deal with this situation. It was a large high school that also had a diverse Vocational school program. Students could take high level college prep courses or take vocational courses in things like Forestry, Mechanics, or even cooking. Many students choose to take vocational and college prep courses. I think it is ok to give students the option to select a major, making a it a requirement will only hurt them in the end. Kids need the freedom to change their minds. Making sure they have a good foundation for any career path is essential.

I was getting laid by my fiancee
I vote every year for the same person, Mickey Mouse. He is old enough and he seems far more realistic then the other choices.
There are a few places in every city that will do just that.
Soup too.
Agreed. They gave him money. Its not like his career is going anywhere at the moment.

I wouldn't mind seeing Wing Commander remade to work on more modern systems.
Please someone tell me this is a joke.
Genocide will end a war pretty thoroughly. No words needed.
I think it will sooner turn up that the company is secretly adding spyware to the computer for marketing purposes. Maybe another rootkit style scandal
Its comments like this one that need a -1 Disgusting mod.

Too bad there is no way to make that sound as whiny in text as it did in the movie.
Now we will see how many "Shitty Connection" jokes slashdotters can come up with.
