The petsitter (Prestigious Pets in Dallas for those who want to know) is playing with fire on this one. Texas passed a Tort Reform law that makes it a lot easier for a defendant to get legal fees (and even damages) from the plaintiff if the plaintiff's lawsuit is deemed frivolous:

From here: Whidbey man charged for pointing high-powered laser at ferry captains - HeraldNet.com So not just a "laser pointer". And the guy is also accused of a third incident last year involving a laser and threatening to throw acid on people. He sounds like a real winner.

Megaforce! Now they just need a flying motorcycle. :)

Using Purdue's Impact Earth Asteroid Strike Calculator (with a density of 2200 kg/m^3), you can calculate the damage that would occur. It looks like that the airburst would occur at about 5.8 km above the surface. Considering that at 10 km, the generated wind speed is listed at 358 mph, the...

The Swiftech hardware rep in that thread is now also saying FrozenCPU is out of business. :(

The online requirement for single player turned me off initially and then all the other bugs and odd behaviors put this game on my permanent "do not buy" list. Letting me play offline still doesn't fix the other problems with the game. Luckily, I saw that a new city sim game called Citybound...

I'd guess it's because this is a cheap win for Google. They don't have to build the entire fiber network from scratch, since iProvo is an already existing fiber-optic network.

I am very impressed by the responsiveness of Galaxy customer service, both here and on other sites. And I really like the looks of all the Galaxy cards. :)

This would be a nice upgrade for me. :)

Ohhh... this would be such a nice upgrade to system.

From the story on WFAA: I think the FBI liked them apples quite a lot since if gave them an excuse. There's also a really good chance that the FBI get's a ton of info on other Anonymous members when Brown tries to save his own skin. :)
