      I Totally agree... however, considering the number of times I litterally dragged my parents in there when they brought me to Disneyland as a (very young) kid, I should be more 'patient' with that ride.

      ha, hell, no, I'd just love a FPS in there now that I have that damm song stuck in my head. Aaaarrrggghhh !

You don't need to use any naughty words to say naughty things -- in fact, you can say naughty things using almost any non-trivial restricted vocabulary.

    We were doing some direct hardware to hardware interfacing, real Plug & Play, when suddenly she switched from client to server mode and the resulting spike in my CPU graph caused me to dump core.
