What's to stop a nation or group of nations from attacking Eyl in the Puntland region and bringing the problem to some sort of conclusion? Didn't the American Marines do something akin to this with the Barbary States in the late 18th century?
I could see a bad vac chip causing an electrical failure in which a fire starts and burns down the house with potential fatalities, a stretch for sure, but a cow caused a fire to burn down a city before so weird things do happen.
Anyone have anything to say about the Maemo OS that is coming out on the Nokia N900? I would think with the./ crowd that a debian based phone OS is automatic.
Two reasons I know why a landline would still be necessary. I know that in some municipalities, if you are an employee of the state, such as a police officer, they are required to have a landline. Another is that if you get arrested, the collect call you get to make can only be made to a landline, making friends with landlines worth their weight in gold. Wanted to add in a couple things that the crowd here might not be aware of.
Lame, but I liked Clippy and his buddies, I really liked the dog one. Not that they were helpful, but for the shiny object with flashy lights aspect of it. Always wanted to make the dog go make poop like some tamagotchi type pet, double lame.
"Can we look forward to fighting the Kool-Aid Man and zombified Mars bars in Uncharted, or is there anything that can be done to hinder companies from adding advertisements retroactively, without the customer's prior knowledge?"
Most importantly, stop buying products from people that have a track record of running over consumer rights. Providing them resources from your purchases will do nothing to stop behavior you disapprove of.
Don't play the game if the ads bother you.
To stop any more ad's coming in, I would think it would be easy enough to unplug the PS3 from the network.
Or if you can't do any of the above, buy the game, play it, get the ads, and whine like a used bitch.
The NIMBY crowd would likely have reason to fear this one. There is lethal explosive potential. Even assuming that safety to an acceptable level enough not to blow up the neighbourhood could be maintained, can anyone imagine how loud this thing would be? 200+ pistons powerful enough to enable fusion calibrated to pop every second would have to make such a hell raising sound that you would likely hear it a kilometre away. Although it may make for a great rave, I guess there might be visuals as well.
I just have a hard time having much sympathy for people that kill or try to kill themselves. Everyone alive realizes at some point that life is painful, the few that give up on life should not be looked upon with any admiration. I've been called mean and I suppose I am.
Being that it's relatively close, would it affect the night sky by making it bright as day for some time? Also, any guesses as to what color would it be?

Only having 5 years copyright for commercial usage seems too short.

All hail jobs. How do you like your kool-aid? Mine tastes kind of funny.

Piss and fart jokes never seem to lose their appeal.
It would be worth it for the other times in the future than the dead bird would have pooped my ride.

What makes it worse for me is that I'm sure this isn't the first time either.
