If you think of the semantics of it, the Viking was sent with the expectation that organic molecules would be found in the air in gaseous form. Their expectations were wrong, and because of that, the Viking did not have the appropriate tools to accomidate for their incorrect assumption. The mission was certainly not "broken" or even a loss! It just provided more questions than it was capable of answering.
hear hear! I wish they had a way of choosing to exclude certain categories of video's in the search. Seriously you can search for ANYTHING YOU WANT and at least one video with "Naruto" in the title will be a result.
I think it's easy to blame TV's for "creating autism" or whatever, but think about it: You have a screaming child that, regardless of what you do as a parent, is never EVER soothed by ANYTHING. This child won't talk, at least coherently. This child only eats 20% of what you put in front of him or her, and won't stop crying when in the shower, bath, bed, school, store, car... After 20 straight hours of screams you set them in front of the TV............hear that? Peace and quiet!
I think the fact that the TV is something that Autistic individuals can relate to IS NOT EVEN CLOSE to the same as the TV being responsible for it! Try living with someone who's Autistic, you'd be amazed at the variance in attitude between "TV Time" and "life."
First you grab your BBQ brush and open the jar of turkey fat (making sure not to spill!). Lightly coat the cookies by "painting" the fat onto said cookie, and throw back in the oven!
Makes for a scrumptious, not-so-easily-digestable treat!
I hate to be the first to do this, but Firefox has had tabbed browsing for as long as I've been using it (at the very least with a plugin). I'm certainly not trying to flame, merely the ignorant asking [the nieve?], but what is the appeal of IE? Why do people, the MAJORITY of people, keep using it?!?
Isn't this the guy that started broadcast.com, that was later bought by Yahoo! for billions of dollars? I'd think he'd probably know a thing or two about this.........
Tomb raider, without even getting half of those statue things took me a week.
Prey, on the medium skill level took me a good 10 days.
Halo 2, on legendary NOW takes me maybe 8 hours...MAYBE.
It all depends on what you like, what you're good at and what I have the time and patience for. Granted, "a week" might mean 1 hour on Monday, 3 hours on Tuesday, 0 on Wed, 9 on Thurs....etc, but it's entirely dependent on the user.
Good point, and on top of that, I wonder HOW AOL will actually suppot Linux? A quick search of their website for "Linux" (anyone notice the bad coding?) only turns up AIM for Linux. Even Google has nothing to do with broadband connectitivity, only connecting via dialup...
Though, I'm sure this applies to the browsers straight "out of the box." Send me ANY website with ANY sort of exploit on it and I would be extremely surprised if it brought my "Firefox + NoScript + AdBlock on Kubuntu" down.
...users of [firmware versions] 1.5 and above obviously requiring the eLoader exploit.
...which still requires editing of savegames, which still requires a copy of GTA, which still isn't legal (at least according to SONY). Why can't SONY come out with their own, viable version or a PS1 emulator already? Besides, who wants to play these games at a max of 10FPS when the human eye can see at a solid 16FPS itself?
You'd be surprised. I work for a software company that currently supports software that's been in the field for 20 over years (between acquisitions and people refusing to upgrade). I would say easily, more than 30% of the clients I work with still deal in a Novell Environment. This is analagous to those clients that are still in Windows 95 (and quite often are one and the same). If it ain't broke, why fix it?

...maybe they're British?
holy crap, but the fact he just used Al Gore as a reference doesn't bother you?

LOL! Oh, the irony!

ummm...I knew that!

And the stick... well the stick is called Justice!
...damn the stick...
The stick once waved the American Flag. Now it just beats dead donkeys and Iraqi civilians...
The stick once stood for power, and speaking softly. Now it stands for corruption and speaking "nook-you-lerly."
#29 sounds just like college...
Looks like someone's already been affected!!!

ah but I jest!

IE: Team Fortress (when it was a Quake Mod) vs. TF II (cell shaded and cartoony)
I have a 360, and have played a few games.

and don't get me wrong, it's a very cool concept... I just don't see this as practical in the least (at least for now!)
...then some PETA member comes and MSPAINTS YOUR ASS! Do we get to sue!?!
No hockey strikes in a few years, eh? and the beer has never tasted better!
Links? I've owned a 360 since last December without issue... It'd be nice to see some proof of that...
Dag nabbit! If only the dad-gum gol-danged articles' text were just a smidgen bigger! Hey look, a butterscotch!
