Yep - I hear that this team is looking for some work.

what about this one? http://www.mulletsgalore.com/

Mullets, acid wash, and rawk radio. You gotta love it.

I prefer Vice City over GTA3 if only for the 80's soundtrack and the SWEET Mullets. Okay, maybe not the Mullets.

But jacking a car and cruising around Vice City jamming to my favorite 80's hits? I could do that all day long, my friend.

The police perspective (and no, I'm not a cop): They don't know who's drinking too much, eluding a warrant in a stolen car with a gun under the seat, or taking cookies to Grandma. If someone swerves, they ignore it or pay closer attention, based on what they know. Every traffic stop could be their last. They have a job that I would NOT want. If I had to walk to your car but didn't know if you'd shoot me when I got there, I'd be pissed if you acted rudely. Most cops are pretty cool if you treat them with genuine courtesy--not the "yes sir no sir" bullshit, just like a fellow human being--and give them a couple minutes to realize you're not going to make any trouble. They're just people trying to do their jobs. Like America's military, they are far too taken for granted and under-appreciated.

From the MADD article you linked:
First, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporing System (FARS) data show that the average BAC level in a fatal crash where a driver was actually tested is .17% -- more than double the proposed .08% BAC standard. Second, the typical DWI fatality is caused by a person who has had more than NINE DRINKS before driving. And third, nearly two-thirds of alcohol-related deaths involve drivers with BACs of .15% and above.

So does this mean that accidents where someone was only disabled or merely hospitalized for a couple months don't COUNT?!? Okay no problem with your sister's incident, because no one died. Someone who's only had EIGHT drinks is not dangerous at all? Come ON! That's just a retarded line of thinking. These data are all based on exclusively-fatal accidents.
Ah, you're probably only drunk enough to break someone's leg, not kill anyone, so you can go.

Look, the interlock stems from a good thought, but it could never be truly practical; it's a bad idea. Plus, I foresee tons of lawsuits filed, because a medical emergency was delayed. Just don't buy a car so equipped.

0.05%? Give me a break. Some people can hit that with two drinks -- that doesn't make them drunk

If the alcoholic portion of blood surging through your brain doesn't make you drunk, what does? If you hit .05 with two drinks, DRINK ONE!

There's gotta be a way to quantify how drunk someone is and remove the guesswork, so for now, the BAC is how it's done.
"Well, your honor, we didn't give the defendant a BAC test, but I'm confident that he would have caused someone between 20 and 40 thousand dollars in damages, so I'm recommending a one year sentence."
Misplaced priorities? Should the police wait until a "fatality" actually occurs and then make the arrest? Do you want them to ignore more than just your helpful phone calls? The line has to be drawn somewhere, preferably before the point where fatalities are expected. If you're SO concerned about getting pulled over, drink soda when you're the designated driver. If one drink is an absolute necessity to having a good time, you have a more serious problem than mere harassment.

Did you notice that the current price is $1000?

The target market are radical feminists. They save that kind of money by not shaving their legs, armpits and crotch during their weekly shower. Of course by not doing so they make themselves unattractive to normal men. The real attacker they planned for are Diesel Dyke Lesbian Rape Squads. Imagine the look on their faces when they get 80,000 volts across their greasy femullets.

be a man, when you troll, don't do it as an AC on KarmaBurningFriday(tm)

IANAL but wish I was.

All over North America, greasy rednecks with pimpish moustaches and long mullets are saying "What 're them scientist-types saying? They're calling me "homo"? I'm gonna kick all their asses."

What angers me is that everybody assumes that these people do not actually Worship jedi!

Articles and films already exist regarding this spiritual movement.

Plus, we already admit that other such religions exist:

- Star Trek - Leonard Nimoy Should Eat More Salsa Foundation

- Hicks - Love thy Mullet

- Plastic surgery - Cosmetics for the holy

Anyway...

Heh Math Club...
I was hoping the link had pictures of the people in this Math Club.
After the success of sites like rotten.com and mulletsgalore.com I was hoping to set up a people-in-math-club.com

no, mullet.

His credentials show that he's certainly capable of using Linux. The point was that he shouldn't have to enter Guru Mode in order to do it.

I'm not knocking the difficulty of writing stuff like Xine - I just don't see why I should have to read the manual in order to use it. I mean, is there really a compelling reason for inventing Yet Another User Interface? Having already been trained on how to use GUIs, I can operate MS' Media Player without having to take a special class. Is Xine compellingly different?

GUIs have been around for a long time now, and the whole User Interface stuff pretty well worked out and understood. There's not really any reason for people to "roll their own".

I wouldn't think people would encourage applications to be victims of fashion. Friends don't let friends wear mullets. Why should Linux be any different?

...linux mantra encourages you to WRITE YOUR OWN.

Does it? Why?

Real programmers are lazy. They don't reinvent the wheel unless it's fun.

Part of the frustration here is that these applications are so freaking close to being usable, and suddenly we're confronted with a mullet.

For example, Xine pops up this weird VCR-style player. What the heck is that? Is it so difficult to use an existing toolkit? It puts being cool before usable, and there's really no reason for it.

As another poster pointed out, there's Kxine. All the goodness of Xine, but with a standard user interface. Why didn't Xine provide this in the first place?

Friends don't let friends wear mullets.

Baby steps people.

Out of this cloud of retards who couldn't recognize / understand a reference to Big Lebowski comes this brilliant piece of absurdist humor. My hat is tipped to you, Lars.

I'm...
...drinkin' beer
...kickin' ass
...takin' names

I'd also be bashin' in arab heads in the Delta Force right now if the military hadn't refused to enlist me. I guess I was just too patriotic.

speaking of mudflaps...

Don't ever let anyone give you a hard time about your white hi-top shoes or tight black jeans, me and you both know they are the coolest thing going (next to the live skid row double cassette album)

> Some old things are nice, like Led Zeppelin and Camaros.

Out of curiosity, do you have a mullet?

Does that mean that if you find someone with a truely hideous mullet either into your music or in your field or profession you have to kill yoursef??

That's it for me, then!
BOOM!!
