Cerebral Stasis

The biggest town I ever recall living in had only about 1,000 people, so I cannot imagine not being able to walk to wherever it is I wish to go. I never suspected that going to an appointment and back could be such a chore/maze.

I usually wake up on time, or am woken up by my cat (I love it when that happens). I haven't used an alarm in many months, but back when I did, I had a very old clock/radio/lamp that I bought at some second hand store (the appliance itself is probably older than I am), and it worked well, except the alarm wouldn't play music when it went off like it was supposed to. Instead, it would click (being a partially mechanical clock), which would in itself wake me up, then after about a second of silence (which seemd to last forever), it would give me static at full volume (the volume control apparently didn't affect the alarm, nor did the tuning knob). Needless to say, I was quick to turn it off, but mostly because I feared waking someone else.

Star Wars Voyager.

I think you mean Star TREK Voyager.
Anyway, I never really thought about Bill's personal life, but if he's half as full of personality as he is in his shows, I can easily understand what his girl saw in him. Sure, in the shows he's kind of immature and silly, but I'm sure that some women would roll on the ground laughing and be unbreakably charmed by his wit (or lack thereof).

i wouldnt doubt there egsistance due to the fact that the goverment is probably reading this site for suspisious people lol

I doubt it. There are too many websites for every single one to be monitored by the US government. Besides, what kind of intelligence would they expect to fin don a forum such as this? It's not like this is the International Spy Dating Network or something.

I would also like to know where you got this information.
It would be a bit scary to know that the government may possibly be watching us whenever they feel like it.

Prepare to be afraid. Civilians can download Google Earth and get a peek at pretty much every US citizen's home, use something like People Search to get someone's life story for around fifty bucks, etc., so imagine what a government agent, with much more technology and information at their disposal, could do. Satellite cameras are already powerful enough to detect and zoom in on a penny lying on the sidewalk - it wouldn't be too hard to keep a close eye on someone.

I rarely drool over technologies, but in this case, I'm honestly shocked. This kind of technology would speed up computer work efficiency by at least fifty percent. I'm still in awe over the kinds of things that can be done. There's only one thing for it - watch the video again.

I keep regular podcasts of live shows, have a song of the day script, a quote of the moment script, a counter that counts down to the next live show, as well as minibits, files, and much more concerning this awesome Internet comedy radio network. It would appreciate reviews, suggestions, and comments concerning the website, and I highly recommend you check out the podcasts, minibits, and live shows. No Holds Barred Radio is always looking for new listeners.

Sure, one may not have anything to hide, but browsing through one's personal information (such as emails and such) is an invasion of privacy and, under the Constitution, cannot be conducted without a search warrant, which requires a good reason to perform said search. Some may have something to hide, some may not, but if the government is allowed to break into one's personal information, before long one will find their rights being leached away through "small exceptions" that will eventually add up to be complete violations of rights.For example, would you want someone to read every letter, instant message, or email you've ever written, or listen to every phone conversation you've ever had? Chances are there would be some pretty embarrassing stuff in there somewhere, and that is why one has a right to privacy under the Constitution. Unless the government has a good reason to invade one's privacy, they should not be allowed to.

There are lots of interesting pints being raised.

 

I'll drink to that.

 

In order for a game to take up 300 Gb, there would have to be some kind of revolutionary new content technology that would be able to fill it. Currently, games are around 3Gb to 5Gb and take years to make (modelling and texturing takes a long time). Unless there is some kind of technology that can automatically create content for games, production time, but creating so much content that it would take some 300Gb, game developers will never spend the 20-some years of content creation it would take to make a 300Gb game. Look at the detail in upcoming games such as Oblivion, which will probably be around 5Gb or so, and it's only been in production for a few years.

 

Now, if something like the holodecks seen in Star Trek were created (which I doubt), then the detail and amount of data required may make 300Gb disks necessary, but until then, these disks are just a monument; they are not practically useful by today's standards (unless one wants to backup a gigantic database).

The word's inedible.

 

Thanks for setting me straight.

 

And OpaQue, I was just getting a bowl from the cupboard when I noticed some kind of black flakes and a few hairs in it, and as I cleaned it out, I thought about what others consider to be "too much" and decided to make a poll and find out.

 

Sometimes people find hairs in the lunches at school (especially the soup), and that is one reason I do not eat the school lunch.

Of the things in the poll, which disgusts you and makes you not want to eat your food the most, and why?

Dokaka, the Japanese beatbox artist, takes popular songs and recreates them, using only his voice instead of instruments. The results range from interesting to hilarious. I highly recommend his rendition of Smells like Teen Spirit.

Actually, I hope that Google never "overcomes" Microsoft, nor Microsoft "overcome" Google. If they both begin to manage similar markets, it will create competition, which will drive down prices all across the board. If Google would completely take over, it's possible that they would then begin wanting money for their services, since they would then be a monopoly. Businesses should always be kept in check with competitors.

I dont like the sound of this program why not settle for a simple label maker?

Label makers can be expensive (you need a special adhesive sheet of paper, a special printing application, etc.), and it can be difficult to put the labels onto the disks (one needs a little device in order to get it properly centered and such, or else one ends up with a sticky mess). They both have their advantages, but this looks like it may be the best way to create a colorless label (especially since the label can't be torn off or something).

So far, I haven't been able to find anything about this building, but I believe that it really is a part of a Naval base. So, if anyone finds themselves at 32 40'34.09" N, 117 09'27.96 W be sure to look it up.

The whole point of video game realism is to allow the gamer to better feel as if they are actually a part of the game, instead of just a player of the game. True, there is a certain point that shouldn't be crossed with realism, else a game becomes just as boring as real life, but having things look and act as one imagines they would if the world was real only enhances the experience that comes with gaming.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If your Photoshop has worked alright thus far, chances are they will for awhile yet. I'm not exactly sure what kind of holes are being referred to by this guy; security holes, code holes, or what? Regardless, I'm perfectly willing to give my favorite application developers time to fix the errors with patches instead of going on a fuming rant about how the program wasn't perfect the first time.

I haven't ever played Guild Wars, but I've read about it and seen it in stores. Personally, I can't decide which is best out of the "big" RPGs: Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, Everquest 2, or Guild Wars. They all cost a monthly fee to play and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. I'll probably just end up not buying any of them at all, or maybe just waiting until the best parts of all of them are brought together into one game (from what I hear, however, MMORPGs don't have very good roleplaying elements, since most of the players talk as if it really is a game and isn't a different world in which your avatar is a living citizen).

For me, graphics help (I despise games such as Baulder's Gate in which everything is so small and I can barely tell what I'm looking at), but aren't everything (I love Neverwinter Nights multiplayer, and it has some pretty crappy graphics - the player-adjustable cam is a big feature in that game for me). When it comes to single player, a clever storyplot and interesting gameplay are the biggest factors in my mind. When it comes to multiplayer (again, as in NWN), it's all about the loyalty fanbase, power of the editor, and competence of the fans (not only for creating interesting modules, but also for acting mature and being fun to play with during multiplayer).

I enjoy GTA in short tastes... After one plays it for a day or two, one does most of what there is to be done, aside from the storyline (after awhile, shooting up people and cruising can get dull). I despise the ghetto accent, so that is one thing that really bugs me about GTA: VC. Thankfully, I can turn off the sound, turn on the subtitles, and listen to music while I play the game.

I've never enjoyed Age of Empire games much, and AoE 3 is no exception. I think it's mostly the lack of a solid storyline and too many playable nations that turns me off to it. I like being restricted to 3 or 4 playable nations/races (with each being weak to one and strong to the other, for example, Zerg > Terran, Protoss > Zerg, Terran > Protoss), as is the case with StarCraft/WarCraft, not to mention the entertaining storyplot element and the huge fanbase/player-made mods. AoE just doesn't have that.

I'm assuming that by "Hx" you mean hexadecimal. You may want to try one of the free conversion scripts found here.

I am not a fan of the Linux OS - I like my operating systems to be a simple point-and-click interface that gets things done quickly and easily (as opposed to the complicated console system used by Linux operating systems). So, unless this Google operating system has a system that can launch basic applications (the way Windows launches .exe files), I am pretty sure I will never use it.

Actually, the coccyx is the true tailbone (it's the bone that hangs down from one's sacrum), but it's true that it doesn't serve any definate purpose, save for muscle attachment and a shock absorber when one sits down (read more here). The sacrum is the large bone that holds one's illiums together and is a very important part of one's anatomy; hardly a useless leftover.

I would very much appreciate a review of my website, especially since it has been almost completely devoid of traffic as of late, and I would like to know how I could improve it so as to actually get some traffic.

All suggestions, comments, etc. are welcome.

Apparently, this is a legit article. You can find an article here, or pick one of the other articles to read here.
