Wow see the influence on Kurt and other modern music on that second one.


Vonnegut?

I think this was the only cool thing to happen in 1989.

My grandmother, who died at the age of 100 in 1989, told me "Since you are a woman and won't be strong enough to defend yourself if someone is deadly serious on their intent - never allow yourself to get into a situation where you could be compromised."
Excellent advice from a sage lady...I wish that Lara would have realized that herself.
My mother is a journalist (obviously never listened to her mother's advice), and I think that reporters easily forget exactly how unsafe they are. They feel a sense of distance from the event, as they aren't participants. The equipment also seems to bring a false sense of protection, and adds to the feeling of detachment.

A very sad story that could have been avoided.


I think maybe you guys are being a tad harsh on her. She knows her job involves taking risks. She had some security but you just never know. These people are always in tight situations. Most times I read about reporters having close scrapes but this was just a terrible attack based on hatred and incitement.

Maybe there is a false sense of security but if this was ever a situation that you thought a crowd would welcome a tv crew, well this was surely it. I guess it says a great deal about Egyptian society.

probably a bit of string. also, i am pretty sure this video is from america's funniest home videos circa 1989

Seismic activity has increased

Source, please.
http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2439&from=rss_home
"Scientists say 2010 is not showing signs of unusually high earthquake activity. Since 1900, an average of 16 magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes — the size that seismologists define as major — have occurred worldwide each year. Some years have had as few as 6, as in 1986 and 1989, while 1943 had 32, with considerable variability from year to year."
Increasing population densities do mean earthquakes will be more devastating than before.

yes

i'm not a geological scientist, but i think we should be concerned


*sigh*... you're doing the common alarmist and conspiracy theorist thing of ONLY looking at sites which are non professional. ONLY believing people who take whatever data there is and come to YOUR conclusion. Ignoring any that use ACTUAL proper science and CORRECT data analysis to disprove your line of thinking. You do this saying 'I don't trust the major sources of information'... which just means that you only believe those that don't grasp it properly.

Sorry, but it doesn't work like that:

Might want to check my link again. It cites the Oxford English Dictionary 2nd Edition 1989. So yes, it is in Oxford. darkrowan's link addresses this as well.

Does anything rhyme with elbow?

Hell no. Bilbo is the closest I could find, but not a full rhyme obviously.
>> ^darkrowan:
Sporange

Jargon doesn't count.
>> ^gwiz665:
"Door hinge" would like a word.

Not even close, though it might depend on your accent.
>> ^Skeeve:
"Chilver"

Not in Oxford so it must not be a real word. (Oxford has more credibility than the wiktionary.)

Whore binge?

Bingo! <insert Charlie Sheen joke here>

Very troubling speech..

Got me thinking if he might not be a holocaust denier himself..

And no Irving was arrested because there already was a warrant out there since 1989 ...
for speeches of him denying the holocaust (in Austria), which he knew was and still is illegal.

And the Verbotsgesetz was and still is a very important tool in a country that never was denazified, unlike germany. This wasnt about free speech, its more about protecting democratic values in a country in wich many nazis still held high places in the newly formed government after world war 2..

I ditched the C64 about 1985 and went to the Atari ST, then ditched that in 1988 for IBM PC AT 8mhz (overclocked to TEN!) It's weird to see C64 stuff with 1989 dates!


Just FYI: The C64 is still alive. A brand new game is about to launch. It has been in development for the past 20 years. It is supposed to be one of the biggest and best C-RPGs ever.
http://www.newcomer.hu/
and
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/11/15/the-ultimate-rpg-for-commodore-64/
So there will be a AAA C64 title launched in 2011

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Seems like the C64 cracking community was on fire in around 86-87>> ^deathcow:

Although Technotronic released their hit in 1989, I'd say you're safe to call this Trash 1990s Trash!

Quit sending me private messages from your sockpuppet accounts, choggie.

In reply to this comment by OmarBinHashishin:
How about sticking with this?
I am a new user who knows the member formally known as choggie, the same who created this account on his behalf upon request.
He described a scenario in which the actions or inclinations of a few douchebags on the site who for lack of administrative mandate or simply users with an opinion who otherwise tend to remain voiceless by withholding judgment for sake of spectacle or novelty, are suffered.
At first glance, and a second, I would tend to agree that some are not commandeering the cart for the sake of the passengers. Why then, would I be addressing you?

No problem with it, consider the matter "taken up" with dag or lucky.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
Your use of pseudo-intellect reminds me of an old not-friend who liked to say the same thing. And this comment came out of nowhere, didn't it?

And how generous of you to give the 10th vote on choggie's last six videos that were published:

I know you weren't trying that hard this time, choggie. Chic's working out pretty well for you, so why not stick with that.

Ban.

And as usual, if anyone has a problem with this, take it up with @dag or @lucky760.
