It may not work correctly if someone appears unexpectedly and throws coins at it.

I've got a computer keyboard which came with a documentation, the bottom of which stated "Important note: this product is not edible". I think the bottom line of such docs is specifically reserved to make fun of the users.

Well, that's the thing. The docs are just like, "plug this end into flash. plug this end into hot shoe. Let's photography!" I don't even see how it could get outdated.

The person you're photographing may unexpectedly decide to stop answering your phone calls.

I imagine they were reserving the ability to change the cable specifications, without notice, after the documentation was printed up but before shipping it out to consumers. I.e., they were pointing out that the documentation might have been outdated by the time you read it.

That being said, I find it difficult in the first place to understand a full 6-language foldout of documentation on, as you put it, "just a damn cable".

There's more where that came from!

Damn you and your toys. You've got another leg up in our camera equipment arms race towards Mutually Assured Bankrupcy.

Hmm, globalization?
 
3221. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 17 Nov 2005 12:07:34 Operation: Flashbulb ]
Definitely. But this was definitely "world music", I mean, these guys were from the Congo and didn't speak any English at all. That's why it was more surprise than disappointment.
 
3220. Max (dssstudentsxp.deans.wesleyan.edu) – 17 Nov 2005 11:18:21 Operation: Flashbulb ]
Yeah I often get a little queasy when "world music" is really just fairly polite western music played with "exotic" instruments and embellishments.

I don't think that the video is linked from the main site, but he is hostin' it, that's for sure.

Yeah, ONJ is nuthin' compared to Carl Lewis. Check out them guns!

ohhhh lordy - that was a doozy! I think they must have shot this video right after Olivia Newton-John's 'let's get physical' - it was, like, all the same ladies! (except, she didn't make out with any old bags blowing bubbles - or channel Prince while singing into the camera - or win any olympic medals -dayam!- ) The backdrop of the song also sounded vaguely Monkey-Island-esque, like that part in the swamp with the voodoo woman. All in all, I rate this equivalent to (or worse than) Eddie Murphey's 'Party All the Time', but still very enjoyable.

What is weirdest to me is that he still proudly displays this on his website!

Hooray for Tor and Ender's Game!

Which album is that on? *taking notes*

Damn you, Eating Buildings! Managing to make the idea of feeding random large cities into the Vigenere cipher work, where my run through European capitals failed to turn up anything new. Next time, though... Donner Domination will dominate!

Sam's play: It's "Tor" genres; Tor is a very popular publisher of pulp fantasy and science fiction

Double Billed: "I only meant to pay it once"
but I was charged
(... uh, I can't figure it out either, sorry...)

In North Carolina: "Please try the Mountain to Sea", where the Mountain to Sea is a hiking trail on Mt. Mitchell.

Liso Y Sedoso: "El soldedor de arco" is right; it's the babelfish translation of "soldering iron." (I wouldn't look for much meaning in the Spanish lyrics..)
