At the 3D attractions at Walt Disney World, like "Honey I Shrunk the Audience," and that Muppets one and the Bug's Life one and the other one with Donald Duck, there are smells put out and wind generated to enhance the experience, along with the occasional spray of water or cascade of bubbles.
Maybe they should do that with the sporting events.
The only substantive change that will come out of this lawsuit is going to be to the lawyers' wallets.
The lawyers will get a whole bunch richer, Target will get a tiny bit poorer, and the blind will still have to have people read the web to them.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a few stops down this slope will be the application of this law to political speech.
If a website's political speech is deemed "obscene" in some district in, I don't know, say, Texas, the feds can charge the website's operators with obscenity in that district, and the chilling effect will warm the hearts of all the folks in Washington who have been working so hard to do away with all this "free speech" business for so many years.
If they did get email addresses, would it be just like the way email is in the movies, where the font is 24-point white or yellow lettering that scrolls in real-time across a black background that takes up the entire screen?
Oh, all the hours, the countless hours spent playing StarCraft, until I was seeing Zergling rushes in my sleep... yeah, it deserves to be on the Walk of Game, it defined the genre.
I have a patent on The Next Big Thing, whatever it might turn out to be, so whoever invents it can expect to hear from my attorney upon producing said invention.
This is the kind of thing one reads about happening in China... public officials using the power of their office to quash criticism by leveling accusations of criminal wrongdoing by their critics.
I'm sure that they'll hire people tops in the field of study, just like Meese did when he set up his committee to investigate pornography back in the '80s.
Quitcher whinin' 'bout the digital voting machines. You know as well as I do that the voting machine companies are wiser when it comes to choosing leaders than all you unwashed ignorant masses.
(Sarcasm aside, I do hope this makes the national news)
Oh, no, I was just kidding, really... the FBI has no reason to look into my activities... just kidding, I was... really... it's just fine... (knock knock knock)... uh-oh...
I'd be happy to hear that the decline in the sales of videogames and consoles were offset by a rise in the sales of books and exercise equipment, but somehow I doubt it.
I don't think I'd better use this approach, based on what my dreams are like. The people I work with aren't going to be too receptive to ideas like, "Okay, to fix the problem with the network, we need to take all the computer outside and have my dead grandparents carry them like babies through the elementary school I attended where the underground bunker has mice for parents"...
Yeah, it didn't affect me at the time because I was on a Mac, and, of course, I use Firefox when on Windows unless absolutely necessary, like a good little nerd.
Shifting environmental conditions which are, of course, controlled by the Intelligent Designer, allowing Him... I'm sorry, uh, it to create all these diverse forms of life in just six thousand... oops, did it again, sorry, a few million years. (Seriously, though, did you read some of the comments posted on that page that TFA is on? Yikes!)
In a geek-oriented web forum that I help to moderate, I noticed a post that linked to a Russian website with graphics of the solar system (probably stolen), something that a lot of geeks might go and take a look at, particularly the younger ones. I didn't notice anything weird about the site, other than its blandness and lack of any real substance, until I glanced at the source code and saw the obfuscated link in a hidden iframe that pointed to a toolbar installer site. I quickly deleted the entire post, but I have to wonder if this is going to be a new tactic. Should forum administrators block links to websites in the former Soviet Union?
The findings of this study are hopelessly flawed in that they conflict with the principle that only the scientific positions of the campaign contributors to the ruling party in the United States are in any way valid. Please take your actual science with its actual testing and actual methods of deduction elsewhere, as we've got Italian sports cars, mansions, and private jets to buy.

So, the lawyers get paid... how?

Does this mean the big fat trackball might not respond? Who's going to defend those six cities?
Whatever new project they get rolling on, I'm sure they'll have a ball.
There's a bright future for IE if you're a botnet farmer, that's for sure.

At first glance, I thought the title was "What Would Be Your Ideal Funeral Home?"
In an instant, I thought, Well, I guess I would start by making sure there are no medical chop shops hidden in the walls...

Right, they might head over to the ATM machine!

And if they catch you searching for pr0n you'll get a really, really big prize, delivered right to your door by a couple of FBI agents.

Poetry like, say, "Shed Reading (Rattus Norvegicus)" by Black Flag, in which an expressive rat bemoans his fate.
Oh, man, LOL, you got me pegged... I still love Transformers and I'll be 39 this year!
