We've been 'called out' several times. Legislation has been drafted similar to the US and has caused an uproar every time, causing it to be delayed/withdrawn. It looks to me like a show for the Americans to keep them 'happy,' as it were. Just enough to tell them, "we're trying." As long as they keep trying to pass these laws, we'll keep kicking up didos.
had names based on a theme. The older style curvy gray cases were named after Transformers. The newer angular, boxy cases are named after Matrix characters.
Personally, because of the large case I used, my general use computer is Behemoth. My server was then dubbed Leviathan, my netbook is Ziz, and my media centre PC is Reem.
Look on Wikipedia for the last two.
I seem to recall an urban legend involving a rocket car. Police find a smouldering wreck on the side of a cliff. From what they piece together, some genius straps a JATO unit to the roof of his car and takes off, only to be unable to steer and promptly hits the cliff and explodes.
Gentlemen, I think we have an episode of MythBusters here.
In other news, Uwe Boll will be legally changing his last name to "Suck". He came to this decision after having so many people coming up to him and saying "Uwe Suck!"
not enough monster movie. The movie was good when the action sequences got going. Then it was excitement-inducing, but still not as much as I'd liked.
There was a bit too much backstory at the beginning. The fact that Rob and Beth had a relationship could have been said at the party without the the shots at the beginning. I didn't like the ending very well either. They said their goodbyes, presumably died in the following explosions, and we got to see their day at Coney Island. I didn't care enough about them to begin with to be moved by this. The fellow holding the camera for most of the movie was fairly good, injecting just enough comedic bits. Although, when he gets killed, if you look at how the monster attacks, I would think that the top half of him would have been gone and the camera would have been in the monster's gullet. If there was a shot after of the camera seeing a slit of light as the creature was being dissected after being killed, that would have been interesting.
That being said, there were things about the movie I did like. The first-person perspective, although Blair-Witchy (and that was the first thing everyone in the theatre noticed) was, I admit, interesting. The Japan references were cute, making one think of Godzilla. The way things came full circle when Rob and Beth said their goodbyes on camera like everybody did for Rob (again, Blair Witch, but not as dumb). The good bits like fighting off the spiders, the disemboweled soldier, and Marlena exploding. That was what I came to see.
But it was a letdown for me. With the ads never showing what the creature looked like, I was geared up a bit. It was like that movie The Invisible. I was expecting a ghost story, but some of the scenes in the trailers had been cut, and it turned out to be a love story, and not a very good one at that. To rate it on a scale of zero to ten, I'd give it a six.
but the hard drives will be firm and perky, and will remain so for quite some time. In fact, in 20 years, these laptops will have the hard drives of a young laptop. This will help to maintain the overall self-esteem of the laptop.
And they're totally safe. If the bags happen to leak, the fluid is reabsorbed by the system.
Seriously though. Between rootkits and exploding batteries, should we honestly trust anything designed by Sony?
It would be better to say "the better her/their (depending on how you fix the issue in the first point) verbal skills is/are."
It would be better to say "the better her/their (depending on how you fix the issue in the first point) verbal skills are." You wouldn't use 'is' for a plural noun. The existence of the skills is the subject of the sentence.
'Better' is not a noun in this case. It is the adjective used to describe the skills along with 'verbal'. One could write, "the better their verbal skills are.", 'Are' being the correct form of 'to be' for the plural noun of 'skills'. 'Better' can be a noun, as in 'one who places bets' or 'one who is better than another' ("I am his better in every subject."). However, that is not the case in this sentence. Here it is being used to describe the strength of the skills.
You have to appreciate our engine-uity as we pilot all on. Have some consideration; after all, telling bad plane jokes is a terminal illness. There's no need to carry-on like this.

I thought it said "Intro to Al" and thought it was a music appreciation course for Weird Al. Stupid lowercase letters that look like capitals...
No, they were hit by... they were struck by a smooth criminal.
a smooth criminal.
Sounds like a celebrity on the Flintstones.

will now involve successful completion of the Hokey-Pokey, the Macarena, and the Lambada.
Now when are we going to get the Linux install like the other Unreal Tournaments that we've been waiting for for so long?

I didn't understand a single word he said. But they should have paid a fine.

That's not a knife, that's a spoon!
Alright, you win. I see you've played knifey-spooney before.
will it run Linux?
Wow.
Now tell me, where are the bacteria that produce valium?

Charge my batteries, Hal.
I'm sorry, I can't do that DAVE.
Unplug the TV.

Yeah, that's the ticket.
Anyways, enough of this. I gotta jet.
Not too bad, considering you're winging it.
