    Well actually it's kinda slow today, cause most
    people are still out from the 3-Day. Nazi-Youth
    Rally, Hobo Slumgullion "Hooray For Everything"
    Retreat they made all the soulless brain-washed
    employees go on this week. Yep, it's been a
    regular Bob "I'm a lazy sack of shit who's gonna
    do nothing all day but stick my finger up my butt
    day" here at MGM today.

    And hey, speaking of Cop Porn, I'm sure that if I was Asian, "Cop Porn" would be heralded as "A dark look into the surreal inner world of a tormented soul working on the other side of the law. Chan Ferra Lee makes his directorial debut in a startling film that stars an all Amer-Asian cast filmed with a distorted lens that conveys the distorted perceptions we Asian Americans are forced to deal with on a daily basis." Bob,
    go fuck yourself. And seeing as how you
    have both mail and female genitalia, this will
    not be such a tall order.

    shouldn't you be working or something? always with the hurting, I guess I'll just sit home and watch cop porn over and over again as punishment, oh,and i don't have any fillings. btw, Willamina vouches for the craft and comedy of at least one of the directors.

    OK, OK, its time to fess up. I admit, my
    critique of the film festival was all a silly
    rouse. I actually might've wanted to see
    those shorts if not for the fact that I would have
    to see them with you. I've...I've held my
    silence about this for too long. Bob you are
    unpleasant company. I would prefer hanging around the
    Black Israelites in Times Square wearing a Ku
    Klux Klan outfit then hang out with you. It'd
    be infinitely more fun and the arguments would be more enlightening then your interminable
    devil's advocate routine. Have you ever bitten down
    on a piece of tin foil with one of your fillings, Bob? Well now you have some inkling as to what your
    voice sounds like (except with the addition of
    being kicked in the crotch with cleats while
    wearing headphones blasting techno music).
    And why is it that you always smell like you've
    just fallen into a barrel of donkey shit? Please
    answer me that? Oh please oh please oh please.

    rant; I don't assume ANYTHING about tonights showing, they are indie pieces of film

    dismiss them on the grounds that they won't be "entertaining" or a "non-stop laff riot".
    It also doesn't mean I don't indulge in
    crappy mindless pop art either, just that theres plenty of room for both and that a healthy artistic diet consists of SOME things that may be more on the make-you-think/confront-your-reality side of things than the make-you-pee-your-pants- laughing side of things.

    Dear Apple:

    I bought an Apple computer because of its native support for teledildonics. I bought a USB FUFME and MacOS immediately recognized it and installed drivers instantly! As a gay

    Catholic priest who often can't be at the altar all the time, you can understand how the ability to have sex with children

    whilst on the airplane with my Powerbook and wireless internet service is a lifesaver.

    I just have a single question, will Apple be releasing a firewire version of the FUFME anytime soon?

    With much gayness,

    Father Michael "Arminass" Sims

    Dear Father Sims

    Thank you for your kind letter! Being a former Catholic priest myself, I know exactly what you are talking about! It has been

    our dream at Apple Computers ever since we began in the 80's to shape the homosexual experience with the ultimate computer.

    I can answer your letter by saying that YES we will indeed be making a firewire version of the FUFME. With the additional

    bandwidth offered by the firewire bus, we will be able to more accurately record and deliver more minute and subtle movements

    that the USB FUFME simply couldnt support due to lack of bandwidth. You will be able to recognize our firewire FUFME in stores

    by the fancy holographic logo of a cock entering an Apple.

    We are glad to help loyal customers such as yourself. If you ever have any more questions, feel free to drop a line (or connect

    to my teledildonic FUFME server on fufme://cockman.apple.com).

    Unless of course Apple is making a habit of submitting public updates to an as of yet unreleased beta version of their new OS.

    "1957 brought to the silver screen his 'I Bianche Notre' adapted by Dostoyevsky, a mannered and romantic melancholy of snow and mist and moonlit encounters on canal bridges. 'Boccaccio 70' followed five years later and the following year saw 'The Leopard'!
    So impressed was I with this motion picture treatment of the Risorgimento that I went along to Somerset House and changed me own name to Leopard, preferring it to me original handle, 'Panther' (Aargh).
    I digress."

    Big props to here for transcribing one of the best Monty Python episodes, ever.

    What's your point? Microsoft released updates to its preview versions of XP via Windows Update, Debian uses apt-get for its unstable branch, and you can make world (after cvsuping in the standard manner) on the development branch of FreeBSD...

    The original post says Panther is available via Software Update. I just ran Software Update (running on OS X 10.2.6) and all I see is a new Security Update. Someone posted something about "closed developer version" which is not in the original post....

    Can someone clearly explain how you get the upgrade from Jaguar to Panther?

    Thanks.
