...and spent too much time in front of the PC and NES.
Yet, im healthy, graduating college, have a full time job, social skills and a life. I always had all thoes things (replace college with decent grades and scratch job when i was young...but you get the idea).
Sure my parents complained about it. But they lef me alone because i was just fine. Now, if they saw me getting dumb or fat, I'm sure they would of taken charge.
Haha.
I saw that episode for the first time yesterday (I had a recording from Saturday's orgional showing).
It will be more interesting if Voyager gets its programming skewed from intersteller sex with another space probe.
There is no such thing as privacy. Getting on or off lists wont help you a damn when any half-wit felon grabs your SSN and ruins your life.
For some victims of identity theft, it takes years to clear their normally good names. I read one article that describes the horror one person went threw. She couldnt ever get a job because a police unit in another state has a "file" on her time she did in prison for attempted murder and grand theft auto. She has never been to prison.
I guess teh ebst defense is to never give out any information, or be careful about it.
For example: Every time I go and get my school schedual they ask for my SSN. Most people blurt theirs out. I write mine down on a piece of paper and then get the paper back. I dispose of it by adding one number to the begginning (i dont seperate the digits initally) and pen in random name above it. So if someone crawling threw the school records office trash finds it; they will just think its a telephone number. Its little things like this that will most likely keep you out of trouble. But you cant controle certain people grabbing hold of this information...so whats the use of being paranoid about it.
YES!!! I bought that for my sister when we were kids (by bought, my mom took me to Toys 'R Us and told me to pick out something for my sister for her birthday. Even then I was a geek). It was too hard for her (because teh controls were so weak), so she aske dme to beat it for her as she watched. It took a few hours.

If the music industry starts creating good albums instead of good songs, than I will buy a CD (oh yea, also drop the price to 5 dollars a cd). I will never buy another piece of shit major lablel record until the industry wakes up. If I like that one Jay-Z song but think the rest of his album sounds like a pile of sick cats, I will not buy it but I will download/steal that song. Fuck them, 19 dollars a cd for one song? Thats a dollar a song. Minor/Indie music I will alwyas support. The indie lables release what they think is good and contains artistic merit. Thats the industry I support. Fuck the big four (EMI, Sony BMG, Universal, Warner).

Outstanding technology that still needs two wooden mirrors to work (for teh lazy necks among us).
EB/Gamestop's policy (in certain areas) on trade-in only pre-orders is baffling. Thats a terrible deal and I hope no one buys into this rip-off.
