that's all i can say

IT is a miserable hell-hole that makes the very task of getting out of bed in the AM a chore.

where can i sign up?

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we hear news stories about malfunctioning brain-motor interfaces that make these robo-legs walk continuously with no control from the operator, and sending him or her ambling into a busy intersection for an abrupt introduction to the grill of a semi.

Of course there will be problems at first. Of course there will be a format war. Of course artists will have to experiment in a new medium before perfecting their art. OF FUCKING COURSE. This is true for just about EVERY new technology.

kitty porn. bad, i know. lol

...if they ever get the feeling that they are wasting their time?

i've been using it to cook my meals for YEARS

most military camps have mwr tents with pcs on the internet and pay-as-you-go kiosks set up by aafes for soldiers and the like to use to communicate with back home. of the 12 i had been to in kuwait and iraq, all had internet access available.. and this was in 2003. and soldiers still expect to communicate via letter. in fact, we preferred it. it's more personal and worthwhile to receive a handwritten letter weeks after someone sent it.

Now, I didn't RTFA, but how are they supposed to verify these results? I can see maybe somehow on the PS3 or 360 doing it online, but on the PS2 and Wii? Are they relying on screenshots or something? The word of the players? I am willing to bet (pun intended) that this flops before it ever gets off the ground.

that's my age, punk!

i'm talking macro scales here. as in the giraffe's neck gets longer so it can reach its food easier. or plants are generally green because red and blue are the ideal colors of light for them to absorb.

I don't think it's so much a social stigma as it is a distraction from the learning environment.

we didn't have cell phones. beepers were just starting to appear when i graduated high-school. we never had any problems alerting in the event of an emergency. we had fire alarms, PA system, and ye olde fashioned telephones in every classroom.

I know you were joking here, but evolution only seems random from the outside looking in. In any given environment, life will evolve to take advantage of the available natural resources in the most efficient manner possible. Granted, the environment differs greatly from planet to planet, but I think we can agree that any planet hosting life as we know it will have some remarkable similarities to earth. Life will evolve in the best way to take advantage of that environment- two eyes to see in 3D, bipedal for mobility, upper limbs to manipulate things physically, brains to control it all, a mouth at the top and an ass at the bottom because gravity only knows down, some sense of smell to detect fuel(food), ears (or something similar) to detect predators, and some form of genitalia to reproduce.
I often wonder if we are Earth's end-of-the-line inhabitant. Animals evolve to adapt to their environments. Us humans adapt the environment to suit us. Have we stopped evolving? It's a dangerous situation if we have, because then we become a non-changing environment for all the creepy-crawlies we are host to. Bacteria will rule the world in 100 million years! /rant
