I was wondering what that number was supposed to be. Perhaps 2 1/2? This is why I prefer decimal points.

His show turns mainstream news (urine) into hilarity (water).

I wish there were more people like him creating such life-enriching games for us masses.

Alienware laptop here. I get maybe an intensive 40 minutes. If I turn everything down and don't run anything, I get maybe an hour and a half... So it's always plugged in.

Is that you, ":-("?

I hear my manager use that all the time. Not with the intention of damaging the laptop, but trying to scare customers into buying plans.

That's what we do at Staples with the office chairs. If we don't carry it and can't order it, we'll just give you the money back on a cash card. b We make a killing off furniture anyway, so you can replace that chair five times and we're still making a profit.

You have obviously not played Halo 3.

The servers allowing you to find each player are Microsoft's. The servers you play on are the player's own Xboxes (or is it Xboxs?). Some games may not use this method, but many games (e.g. Halo 3) do. Proof would be when the game host leaves, and everyone has to wait while the game says "selecting new host." Microsoft servers determine the game host as the one with the best connection to the other players, but from that point the game is played directly between the involved players.

It should be noted that many games work this way. Not just Xbox games. Not just FPS games. This "tactic" is nothing new. It's just a DoS targetted at an opponent.

Zoomed out far, but obviously not natural. Don't know whether man-made or error-made :P.

Here's something off the coast of Virginia. Looks like it could very possibly be a "glitch." Or just the method of mapping.

There's also the privacy concerns. I lose things often, and have another person looking through my life in pictures somewhat disturbs me.

The first and last are good examples... But that second one about a "second-grader who was tied to a desk" raises a big flag...

"From the buttocks area" may not have meant "from under [her] underwear." It may have been in her back pocket. Also, she may not have had to strip to remove the phone: Those phones are large enough that they can be slid around underneath tight pants.

But seriously, I wasn't there. Nor was anyone else posting here.

That isn't even to mention the hundred and fifty years or so we were under the Articles of Confederation... And the many years of colonization before that.

We can't "use our favorite" anything. Only what we're provided. It's inefficient, but protects the company.

And five minutes is a poor estimate. Another poster mentioned set-up, which is probably two or three minutes on its own. There would also be paperwork to be done, and a 5-10 minute explanation what we're doing (to protect the company from idiot customers). The software we would have to have specially made (see first paragraph), will predictably be slow and a real pain in the ass. This is also hoping you don't get called to the floor while setting it up.
