Aliens

It's in reference to the line in the movie where Hudson makes fun of the Actress Jenette Goldstein playing the Marine Pvt. Vasquez.

When Jenette Goldstein showed up to read for the movie she only knew the title "Aliens" and thought it was a movie about illegal border crossers. She showed up in costume as an illegal border crosser. The line that made it into the movie was an ad-lib that was in reference to this slip-up.

For some reason I didn't think that $299.00 was much more than $359.00, but I'm no economist.

Now, if you're including the lifetime service to Sprint then yeah, I can see some bit of a savings, but if they're charging you for the book download in the first place...

Great, you appear to have slashdotted that fine article. I keep on getting a DNS error when I try to go read it.

You know you are likely to be eaten by a Grue.

You mean they have Brains in their butts? I guess that's one way to have your head up your ass.

Great, we skipped over the shortened form of the trit, and went straight on to quits. Killing the time spent making bad jokes about the shortened trit and keeping our development on pace. Yay!

I have no problem as a parent if another parent goes out an buys any game they desire for their child. I also don't have any problem with a parent getting their child alcohol or cigarettes. As far as I'm concerned it is the responsibility of the parent to determine what is OK for their child. Whether or not people parent "properly" is an argument that no one comes away satisfied from.

But what regulation I would like to see is keeping more hardcore games and movies from being sold to minors. I don't see how this infringes on the rights of a parent, and the protections it provides to minors are the same as those provided for other substances, Tobacco, Firearms, Alcohol, and R rated movies (if the theater wishes to enforce this one).

Again, if a parent wants to go out and buy the latest "blow up everything, kill everyone, and laugh about it" game then it's their choice, but I think that it should be something that is up to the parent, not the retailer.

Note that the power consumption is based per panel square inch. They are comparing apples to apples, but in one case they are averaging out 49 apples versus 196 apples.

Actually some argue that they are called French fries due to the term Frenched. This is the most recent attribution that I had heard of. Yes they were apparently invented in Belgium but the reason they are called French Fries has to do with their being julienned rather than their nation of origin.

So, at the end there, you're talking about Apple-vs-MS?
