The only problem I see is that it seems to be impossible to turn to the person in the wheelchair to talk to them. Unless you turn only your head.

Same here. Good thing I didn't waste time looking for that pic, since I was beaten 2 or 3 times. I figure they can upgrade their setup.

And, of course, Buffet, who gave the Bill and Miranda Gates Fund control of his money.

Apparently that video is sped up, but one of the first years I was up here in Edmonton, AB, there was some pretty great auroras that moved at least half that speed. It was awesome. :) I always thought they were super slow moving until then.

Good point. Like the 555 phone number. Which they make some good fun of in Last Action Hero (I think that was the one).

I'm going to guess localized news-media, rather than localized flare effects. I'd like to see a solar flare many, many times wider than Earth effect only one small part of the planet. Not to mention the Earth spinning. This bad boy doesn't really look laser accurate. How bad the effects...

No doubt. That was mostly a joke to emphasize the crazy amount of EM interference there is potential for. :) Global auroras are pretty impressive, too. I am certain if we got hit by a similar scale flare, we would be one hurting first-world for awhile.:(

Holy heck. Maybe we won't lose power after all, lol. I think it's time to start a business selling lead computer cases. Or at least figure out how to protect my own...

Fair point. Funny how we can't assume that breathing any and all burning material would have that potential. We still need a scientific study.

er... labeled as being

There's some sort of irony in there, coming from the state that has everything AND the kitchen sink labeled as bring "known by the state of california to cause cancer". :p

This. Utterly and completely. <conspiracy theory>The cigarette companies are actually behind this study. Makes it look like you are the picture of health as a 60 year old chain smoker. </conspiracy theory>

hahaha, the more things I see Jane Lynch in the more hilarious she gets.

Pretty cool. But it'd be cooler if Bing could actually find my address, even though the satellite image of it looks to be only a few years old. I mean, I live in a city...

Exactly this. Button pushing is not increasing death count in any way. Heck, in Napoleon's Battle of Waterloo, in a single day, there were a combined 40,000 casualties and another 22,000 missing. The farther back you go, the bigger the numbers get.

heh. Maybe as a show a good faith to the defendants, HP should sue only the plaintiff, stomp them into the ground, then leave it alone.

I feel like this was the Bee Deaths Reason from a few years ago and had since been ruled out. The sad part is, if this turns out to be fact, is the bees will be extinct long before everyone gives up their cell phones... And we thought that humans would destroy the earth via nuclear winter or...

Yeah, I'm right about the average as well. It makes me sad to think that the "whiny little brats" don't have the excuse of actual youth, but are just transformed by anonymity.

Great movie. :) Apparently they're doing a remake for 2013 or so. On topic: I would like to know how a single atom be a machine. Unless they are somehow using the movement of the electrons to run the transistor?? :confused:

Edit/double-post - I also had to ask a Buy More-on where the cheaper cables were -- 2 aisles away, hidden among other random cables.

Oh man, I had to do a last minute HDMI cable run for work the other day. $60 CAD for a 6-foot cable. And worse yet, they have another brand now that I can't recall the name of that sits next to the Monster cables at the same price point, making it look like the "standard" price for HDMI...

Man it wasn't that long ago that this level was the best achievable with pre-rendered effects. Incredible.

Yes it was. I love 7, but it's funny how many of the "new" things that people like about it were already in Vista. :)

I wonder if they're using vanilla Ubuntu, or something a little more focused, like Edubuntu?

This. The vast majority of single packets (all they needed for their purposes) have nothing useful in them. If they were really lucky, they might have gotten a single line of text from an instant message. Still hardly a privacy issue. Yes, it has to be fixed, but no, there is virtually no...

The Canadian dollar has been doing well, but as of this morning had dropped 2 cents to 94 cents USD. The higher the better for me. Living in Canada and paying off US student loans that I got when the it was closer to 65 cents. :D

Stream to Canada and I'm on board, no matter what company it is -- even Best Buy.

This explains why I was offered a free (for a year, $3 a month thereafter) upgrade to digital cable when I still had analog. Though, on the bright side, the cable box only has one output. ;)

LOL. Just because this backup cloud lumps everyone's files together doesn't mean that it's not a backup system. :D

Wahoo! my procrastination pays off again!

In that case, I'd complain to your ISP. Something is definitely wrong.

Interesting. I pay for a 10Mb cable connection (though it can do close to 20Mb -- I max at around 2.3MB/s -- maybe they upgraded on me for free? I love Shaw Cable :)), and I have no problem running the 1080p videos smooth as silk, with only a 3 or 4 second buffer at the start. Though that's...

Same. And I haven't even changed any settings on it in the last year, except for that new deal a few days ago. Of course, I don't have any "events" either. Easy fix. Don't respond to public events. Sounds like those are the only ones exposed.

ha nevermind. reading comprehension fail.

8-track?

Considering how 95% of all the free apps are crappy do-nothing apps, I'm not sure how they ARE using it, lol.

My theory still stands. "Youth and Booty... I mean Truth and Beauty" What is this bringing logic and science to the forum? :p

hahaha, I totally came here to say that. :D

My bet is that the nickname for Bottom Quark was Booty Quark, and they had to clean it up for the reporter. Scientist: "We finally saw a Booty Quark!" Reporter: "A what??" Scientist: "Uh... um.. a Bottom Quark... we call it... um... BEAUTY sometimes." And yes, it does mean they need to get...

THIS! I have not the words to describe how I feel about it, but you have done pretty well. :cool: And also, BAHAHAHA - best line in the thread.
