98% of teens uses or has tried MySpace. If you're one of the 2% that hasn't, copy and paste this in your signature
Either that or make sure you're outside the range of 30 feet. If you're not, there's a chance you will be caught.

At best, that controller should only serve as supporting evidence. What that proves is that "the controller was once paired with that Xbox", nothing more. Imagine if your friend came over to play Xbox, then left because of software corruption which needed reformatting, then came back a few hours later with authorities saying that Xbox was his, because his controller works
Of course, other things like cabling, dust marks of where the console used to be placed, the culprit's lack of controllers etc will solidify his argument. I'm just playing on the fact they said "the controller was proof enough that the console was his".

I was wondering the same thing Bill. The controller turned the 360 on and that proves that the 360 is hisSurely he must have some corroborating evidence.
Anyway saw this on the news earlier and thought it was hilarious.
Shoes thrown at President Bush
Not only does Bush have good reflexes but I thought he handled the situation pretty well too.

Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Impressive dodging skills. Well at least for the first shoe.

Maybe it comes with good practice

the second one amazed me , he analyzed it in split second that he does not have to dodge this one.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
What would've been miraculous is if he caught both of the thrown shoes with his bare hands!
Bush almost screwed me up with his surprise visit to Baghdad. They closed the damn airport 2 hours after my flight left. If that flight had been canceled, my flight to the states would have been canceled, and I'd be stuck in the middle east right now. I would have thrown some shoes at his head too if that had happened.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
You should have first asked for a lift on Air Force One, and if he had denied the request, only then thrown your shoes. You'd think a Texas man like Bush would have appreciated such boldness and given you a ride.
Be careful of what you eat!
I think I might have to triple clean my fruits before eating them.
I am training in the shadows.
Currently playing: All of your games, probably.
Luckily, I don't eat anything on that list.
If it doesn't kill me outright, I'll recover.
I fail to see reason to be concerned. Public places and items (doornobs, ATMs, net cafe computer keyboards, etc) contain way more bacteria, viruses, and probably fecal matter than any of the things on that list. I just wash my hands after using some of those, but you can't avoid germs. So long as you eat healthily enough, and maybe eat yogurt, the germs inside of you will fight those invaders off.
Semi-cooked eggs on rice and other dishes (or just by itself) is really nice. People (mostly Asians) were concerned about it at first because of the bird flu thing, but that concern's dying down now.
While I agree with Ryll that the number of germs lying around public places (escalator handles anyone?) makes food bacteria pale in comparison, I'd think food poisoning isn't about numbers alone. Bacteria and pathogens that infect food and leave their toxins are probably more potentially harmful than the many random bugs floating around that just die in our stomach acid. I'm just talking from general impressions here, so if anybody has solid data or otherwise, I'd be interested in finding out.
I do agree with the fact that, if it doesn't really kill you, the appropriate level of concern is debatable. You would hope your country's food quality control takes care of most of these.

The reason you don't get sick everyday from all the less-than-sterile objects you touch (before rubbing your eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) isn't because of the acids and other chemicals in your stomach, it is because of all the happy little biots in your intestines.
Lactobacillus acidophilus is the big one for the upper intestines. They accomplish this through crowding, which means there are so many of the little bastards that other kinds of bacteria can't multiply and gain a foothold in your system.
It is one of the basic principles behind probiotics, though they really don't need our assistance too often.
Through arduous work, salmonella was completely removed from all eggs produced in Finland years ago (which is why I wouldn't buy anything but Finnish eggs here). Zero incidence level these days. The only danger to this excellence I see right now are domestic terrorists (called animal right activists), who just might be brainless enough to sabotage this as well.
I read about that melon thing some years ago, and these days I first wipe melons with 70% ethanol, then wash them with water, scrubbing furiously. Otherwise when you cut a melon with a knife, the bacteria on the surface will be moved to the nutritious inner parts and they will multiply like crazy. It's a nobrainer, really, to compare door handles and food items: Only one of these two places allows the bacteria to propagate, not merely linger waiting for better times (though they are good at the waiting business as well).
Umm...for anyone still using IE......DON'T!!

During my military jungle survival course a few years back I was in the middle of a survival and escape and evasion phase with no food for 9 days. On one of the days I received a few raw chicken wings as a reward for some tasks. I managed to cook the first but my fire didn't last due to rain. I tried eating the raw chicken wing (yes I was that hungry), but I couldn't chew off the meat......

Not surprising at all. I wonder how much of the browser market share they'll lose, if this goes on too long.
Absolutely none of their core market. The kind of people who make up the IE base are one of two:
1) Businesses who rely on the applications people like to build in IE (...ugh, crappy training videos and programs) or use it for security, monitoring, or other totalitarian purposes (but allowable because you agreed to terms when you were hired).
2) Average Joe Everyone, Jane Anybody, and Esther Geriatric who believe that the "E" icon is "The Internet."
Most people who have already switched to Firefox, Safari, Opera or even Chrome left IE long ago for all kinds of other reasons.
