Microsoft Media Center 2005 Reviewed

Thomas Hawk writes "Microsoft is set to release their new Media Center 2005 by none other than Bill Gates himself in Los Angeles tomorrow. In advance of this announcement, the New York Times (registration required) is running an article on the new product today. The article says that the quality of the MCE television has generally been received as inferior to rival and competitor TiVo. I wrote a review on the new MCE 2005 last week called MCE 2005, Underwhelmed. I'm offering continuing media coverage of MCE 2005."

  2. Depressed Geologist Making a Comeback by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    My Doc tells me that I'm manic depressive but I think I'm old fashioned depressed. I have a lot of "referential thinking" but I've never heard thats diagnostic of a manic depressive person. I've never been super manic about anything, yet my doctor says I'm bipolar. I take Risperdal, Lithium, and Paxil. I was diagnosed in 1993.

    My hobbies are primarily reading and pitching in to care for my only child, Lana. She's eight years old and growing up fast. I have interests that center around work and trying to make myself marketable enough to stay in the industry for 20 more years until I retire. My cat has been missing for 3 weeks and I miss her mucho. We were close.

    I came to this site in order to get the word out on my childhood sexual encounters. Accounts of these may be extremely boring to you all, but I am very appreciative to anyone who would give me some feedback.

    My earliest episode, at age four, consisted of fondling the genitals of Robby (age 4). Later at ages 6 through 8, I routinely begged John (age 12 and a frequent babysitter)if he would place his penis inside of me. We tried to negotiate it several times but never were successful in "hooking up". Apparently, one night when John "babysat" me in Europe, we were attempting to get an interlude off thhe ground. Before things got rolling, John produced a palm full of transparent gel substance declaring it was sperm! I was mortified.

    To this day I am convinced that my father asked John's father to have John produce "sperm" the next time I asked for sex. My dad thought this strategy would put a stop to my burning desire to explore sex at such a young age. I actually think that my dad set me up several times to see if I was bisexual or gay. For example, I was sleeping at my buddies house one night when I woke up out of a drunken slumber to my buddy dry humping me and whispering sweet nothings! I never figured him to be gay or bi before that, so I figured Dad was up to his old tricks again.

    My most pathetic role was played at college. I spied on people having sex. If I could take anything back that I did in college, it would be this. Whenever I see a keyhole, I get the sweats. I think of how I would feel if a boy did that to my daughters.

    These are the highlights or shall I say, lowlights of the first part of my life. Please let me know what you think. It would be helping me and my family immensely.

    Yours Sincerely,

    Backdoor Man aka Michael Sims

    If you can convince her of that, maybe you can convince your way into her panties. College Freshman are stupid.

    Whilst jacking off over pictures of Satan.
    I must interject here. Since Bill Gates is Satan I doubt he would be jacking off over pictures of himself. Perhaps over pictures of Satan's whores, Satan's schoolgirls or Satans's angels. Perhaps?

    This has been a message from the committtee to free Satan and his minions.
