Uh, HEL-LO?!! Have you guys forgotten that the world is going to end in 2012?!! I think you might want to ramp it up all the way in 2011...just in case.

I think Scott's got it right:

"Good luck with that!"

I try to avoid the NYTimes website as much as possible since there are so many other available resources that are IMO better.

I'm with you there, Nuts. This whole 3-D thing is still mostly a gimmick IMO. Besides, I can get 3D p0rn with tactical sensations anytime. One of the many benefits of being married ;-)

Yeah, I decided to move to AT&T after the Early Termination Fee hike and THIS just enforces that I made the right decision. What an utterly boneheaded move on their part.

Did someone call me? ;-)

Holy smokes! You have put into a perfect post my exact thoughts from the last couple of months. Especially since I work for one of those multinational corporations that I haven't been able to leave due to our BS jobless economic recovery. Talk about an oxymoron phrase that I could NOT believe was actually being used by the media. I mean, seriously, how the fuck do you expect the economy to recover if new jobs aren't being created?!

Excellent Casino quote too. Very accurate.

...wil be the same as last years. I'll be dressed as a parent taking his kids trick or treating through the neighborhood in order to score some yummy candy treats while actually doing no real work. Yeah, I'm living the dream, baby! :)

Oh I know. I'm just saying that I'm familiar with the "type" and I LIKE EM! :-D

How true. I am one of those geeks that prefers that type of woman. The always sobbing girlfriend or wife has always been a major turn-off. Of course, being from a Latino background, we are used to our women being fiery :-)

That's the product line that has REALLY saved The Lego Group. The sales figures for that line alone are staggering. And as an AFOL, I can verify that the design quality and playability of their recent products have improved substantially. My kids continue to go back to their Lego collection to play with long after the novelty of the latest toy that they've received for their birthday\Xmas\whatever has worn off. As a friend of mine has always said, it's a thousand toys in one.

...BAWLS! That stuff is excellent! That'll jack them right up :)

AT&T. Delivering Your World. To The NSA.

This is a perfect example of why these exclusive contracts with one carrier (regardless of who it is) is a Bad Thing (tm). Innovation and competition are easily squashed. And we, the consumers, continue to get screwed like sheep.

Aside from the original X-Wing trilogy, the MechWarrior series of games have always been my favorites! I can't even begin to account for all of the time I lost playing those online.
