...let's talk about Laurie and Fry working together again.
What I think would be perfect would be Fry's Wyatt Gordon character from "Bones" showing up on "House" as House's shrink. Somebody slip a note to Rupert.
So that's how Goldman-Sachs makes so much money, by having very easily confused customers. :-)
Customers so easily confused, apparently, that they must be protected from any possiblility of even accidentally seeing any criticism of Goldman-Sachs.
How is it that these people haven't been "confused" out of all of their money years ago?
Oh, speaking of which, "Goldmansucks.com" seems to be for sale.
Is that the best Seagate could do, some amateur camcorder production with the off-camera chatter nearly drowning out the pitchman's thickly accented English?
Somebody tell them to concentrate on making hard drives and outsource the advertising.

Actually, the "UK"-ness of the wording made the unplausibility of the story stand out more, and more quickly, to those of us here in the states.
A direct quote of the sheriff wouldn't have contained the words "satellite navigation system", he'd have called it "her GPS", and of course the radio callsign with a number in it was a dead giveaway.
Okay, so maybe light, and other electromagnetic waves, actually travel through a lack of a medium, but that not-medium has been known as "the ether" since the days of spark-gap.
Ethernet should have been the name of an over the "air" (radio wave) way of networking.
Metcalfe and Boggs could have called their creation "PacketNet" or something like that.
" "Erotic services enables defendant to charge fees of up to $75 per post for job openings due to the significant web traffic garnered by erotic services." "
So would-be employers pay premium rates to attract potential employees who are only at the web site looking to hire a hooker?
I guess the jobs outlook in Chicago isn't nearly as bleak as elsewhere.
Of course they're only filing this lawsuit because the previous one against street corners was such a success.

Interesting. "Subsequent ally" is what the Firefox spell checker suggests if you type "subsequentally" instead of the correct "subsequently". I reckon you would have to be half asleep to allow the substitution though.

Cable companies have geographical monopolies, own about half of the channels they carry, charge an arm and a leg, don't bother with backup line power that doesn't rely on the local electric power utility the way the phone company does, and don't give you any discount when their service is down, and they still can't make money?

Interference shielding? Pah!

Exactly. There are two ways to participate in an economy: helping it to grow, or parasitically living off of it while holding back growth. Mr. Dell wasn't trying to be condescending; he just wanted to give the impression that he wasn't trying to be a parasite. I think Mr. Putin's view of the world is that everyone wants to be a parasite, even if some end up being useful by accident, so anyone who claims other intentions must think he is talking to an idiot."
Wasn't it Lenin who said something about "useful idiots"?
They need to do the same thing that Google needs to do, make it both possible and easy to get search returns that start at page one million (or whatever) and proceed backwards down to page one.
There are often times when what I'm googling for involves the same terms as something entirely else that is what most people using those terms will be searching for or will have written about, which means that the lower the page number the lesser the chances of my finding that for which *I* am looking.
Mine's the one turned inside out and hung upside down.

Far be it from me to say anything derogatory or of a suspicious nature about the same fine folks who dreamed up Operation Northwood, but...
If you were going to "appropriate" some of USAMRIID's anthrax to send to some of your unsuspecting pen pals (for whatever reason) and you knew that it might be possible to find out exactly where in USAMRIID the anthrax came from, from which scientist's anthrax stash would you pilfer, if not the one most easily made to look like a whacko?
I have to rely on the Sci-Fi Channel for my Who fix, so I'm not sure how far behind I am.
It would be interesting to see a regenerated Doctor open *her* eyes and realise that he isn't a he anymore, but I had an idea the other day--
What if something went awry during regeneration and he came out as someone who morphs back and forth between two different incarnations, like say one moment he's Hugh Laurie and the next he's Stephen Fry!
(although what I really want to see is Fry's Gordon Wyatt character from the show "Bones" brought in for season or two of psychoanalyzing Hugh Laurie's character Dr. Gregory House on the show "House".)
It's collard greens (for which I don't particularly care).
There's also seafood and hush puppies and real BBQ, not to mention the tomato flavored variety from the counties around Charlotte, which the people there seem to prefer for some unfathomable reason. :-)
