@Phaota: There is some definite Vangelis/Blade Runner influence/homage in a couple of the soundtrack tracks.
And as noted elsewhere, Kevin's room in the Grid can't be anything but a 2001 homage.

@ClickClickThud: that's not 'awareness', that's 'I can't live a normal life because I'm afraid there is a creep around every corner.' That's a horror I'd wish only on my worst enemies.
@tieguy: (that was supposed to be a response to LogSlide, oops)
Ah yes! Because if the past nine months have taught us nothing else, they've taught us that the best way to measure a CEO is the amount of money they make, not the success of their companies. Or, um, maybe not.
I posted a long response to this on my blog: [tieguy.org]
Nutshell: it is actually a pretty good test case.
I am not a lawyer, but $DEITY willing I will be one in August.
I'm still mind-boggled that the supercar explosion of the past 10-20 years hasn't produced more hand-crafted wonders like this. "Hand crafted for three years" is a much sexier and more interesting measurement of time than than "0-60 in 3 seconds", in my mind.
@Trot Nixons Hat: I have a ticket to Miami @ Wallace Wade. I basically got it on a lark (I'll be in Durham for work on Monday.) I am sort of flabbergasted that the game might actually be close, and no one will be surprised at that...
@Trot Nixons Hat: It was suggested to me that the vote could be Fulmer's- maybe more real than Spurrier's, but still not quite 100%. Ah well... a downtrodden fan can dream. Or wait until Blue and White.
@Trot Nixons Hat: Seriously. One other correction: without Cutcliffe, the team would be 0-4, not 1-3.
(Oh, and if you're looking for evidence that hell is freezing over, Duke got a vote in the coaches poll some time other than week 1. Next thing you know we'll have someone in the White House who isn't a white male.)
@regnez: Yup. And it isn't like this is new... the old X series never had track pads. It is the X300 that is the outlier here, not the X200.
I'll probably buy one of these next year, but I wish it were closer to two pounds than three. I miss my old 1.99 pound Vaio 505...
Going for two proves that Brady can do math (up three is better than up two), not that he's some kind of cold-blooded killer. But hey... whatever floats your boat.
My german phrasebook had a section on talking to taxi drivers. One of the phrases was 'you drive like a maniac', followed by 'you drive like Schumacher.' I never imagined that would be anything other than a joke...
(And yes, I love that phrasebook.)
Ah... the sweet smell of indentured servitude.
Wouldn't this be Foleo?
And then you remember that solar panels cost money and that people like money.
And this is why the most sane way to reduce carbon emissions is a carbon tax, instead of subsidizing research directly.
Arrrrgh.
Of course, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me is recorded in Chicago. The Boston-NPR connection is Car Talk.
(My ex once went to get her car fixed in Cambridge; she told the repair guy he sounded exactly like the Car Talk guys. His response was 'I am the Car Talk guy.' Cool that, at least as of 2001 or so, they were still out there working in the garage from time to time.)
Trot Nixon's Hat: I haven't spoken to Norm in ages, but I'd bet very, very good money that Norm reads Deadspin...
I can't believe there are other people in this thread who have torn down a goalpost at Wallace Wade. (Mine was in '98.)
@POLAR: exactly.
I know this means I've been living under a rock, but to me the big news here is that there are entire blogs devoted to nail polish.
