In Search of the Best Programmable Universal Remote?
option8 asks: "Now that i have more components in my living room than I have room on the coffee table for their remotes, I'm looking into getting a programmable universal remote. I've looked at some of the spiffy touchscreen jobs, like the Philips Pronto and even some of the new color remotes, but it seems to me that spending more for my remote than I did on my DVD player is overdoing it somewhat. Also, all I've found are ones with windows support for building screens. Are there any out there that I can use with Linux?" There was a previous Ask Slashdot on this subject back in '99, anything new to report since then?
Get up your sorry ass and push the buttons yourself.
That way, you'll stay in shape!
Gotta love that new, black-and-white Jennifer Lopez video... an absolutely gorgeous ass!
Why don't your own economy a favor and negotiate a paycut?
Mouth your cock and hand on the buttons!!
I don't believe you!
Sorry little dude!
1. Banana's will be more expensive than batteries over time.
I didn't know that bananas had wills. And I don't what a will belonging to a banana has to do with anything or why you're speaking Ebonics.
Well, using a palm as a remote is the same as getting up and pushing the button with your live fingers. The range of that cute IR transmitter is fine for beaming vCards but don't expect it to reach through your entire living room. Fresh batteries might help, but what really is needed here is a soldering-iron-h4x0r punching in a more powerful IR bulb.

I'm over 19 does that mean I should have smoked till my lungs filled with tar? No.

"Member size" is often good fodder for the budding comedian. But your delivery is a bit too coarse and sudden. The learned comedian practices subtlety.
Next time, consider rephrasing your comment like so:
or perhaps: Practice often, grasshopper!You are still GAY and you still suck. I still hate you. (If I ever meet you, I will kick your ass; 1. Me hitting you. 2. You hitting ground.)
"Yeah, I have one of those 10-foot poles built-in."
The problem with your lines is that they don't invoke good mental imagery. The basis of a good penis joke is to create the mental picture. For example, my line, "I do the same thing, except I just open my pants" evokes a mental image of a guy sitting on his coach, and whipping open his fly, and the "unit" performing the action.
Not to say that I came up with the perfect line, but IMO it's better than the ones you came up with.
