Jefe: I have put many beautiful new user space filesystems in the Mac OS X, each of them filled with little suprises.
El Guapo: Many new user space filesystems?
Jefe: Oh yes, many!
El Guapo: Would you say I have a plethora of new user space filesystems?
Jefe: A what?
El Guapo: A *plethora*.
Jefe: Oh yes, you have a plethora.
El Guapo: Jefe, what is a plethora?
Jefe: Why, El Guapo?
El Guapo: Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.
Jefe: Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?
Seconded! Heretic was one of the most innovative FPS games ever! Runes and symbols, magic wands and whatnot... all of the elements of DOOM, but in a fantasy setting. Plus, it introduced flying and power-ups to the mix. I would seriously love to see them do an updated version of Heretic 1. Not Hexen, not Heretic 2. Neither were very good sequels to the original Heretic, IMO.
Well, I gotta say, after recently making a full switch on my main desktop from XP to Ubuntu, Linux is really ready for the average consumer now. If Dell computers came pre-configured with Ubuntu, I pretty much guarantee it would gain popularity. The only issues right now are that Hardy Heron comes with Firefox 3.0, which is pretty crippled due to some bugs that cause constant crashing, but with Firefox 2, it would be a real winner!
I can't believe how many anti-social assholes there are! If someone leaves a voicemail, they obviously have something to say... how could someone just ignore their voicemail and purposely delete them without listening to them? Man... how inconsiderate. These are the kind of people that deserve to be ignored every time they speak, because apparently nobody else has anything valuable to say... so what makes them any different?
Wow... my hometown of Oshkosh made some headlines! But man, this is going to suck! The annual EAA convention is always loud and crazy, sonic booms every couple of hours and planes screeching overhead. But this year? I'm gettin' out of town! Any chance I can catch one of those rockets down to Chicago for the week?
I can't wait to download this off of OiNK! Sure, I could probably download it for free from them, but... oh... you mean I don't have to pay for it either way?
Well, if you want people to be interested in mathematics (and I honestly don't know how someone could be "interested" in it, it's just numbers and formulas), I'd say the movies "Pi" and "The Number 23" would probably work. That is, as long as you don't tell them there's a distinct difference between mathematics and numerology. You could turn them into obsessive lunatics in just a couple days!
Also, as a former Libertarian, Paul believes that such an issue should not be legislated by the federal government, and that abortion laws should be left up to the states to decide for themselves individually, as should most issues. He would most likely view any legislation either for OR against abortion to be unconstitutional, and would reject it.
I am so sick of reading about how the "car of the future" is going to run on hydrogen and be extra-sleek and this and that. We've heard it all before, for the last 15 years or more. What I REALLY want to know is this... when will the car of the future be the car of the PRESENT? Tell me when they will be on the market and be affordable for the common consumer. What good does it do us to say what's coming if it NEVER GETS HERE?
I think that the complaints about the MCE remote support (or lack thereof) is quite a legitimate complaint. Like many others, I'm sure, I purchased a Hauppauge tuner card that came with an MCE-ready remote. The fact that I have never been able to get it to work on KnoppMyth or RedHat+MythTV is the main reason I'm still tethererd to Microsoft XP MCE. Someone with zero Linux experience should be able to get any remote device working immediately without having to hack config files and such.
You know, there aren't any real laws governing waiting in these lines, and the lines aren't necessarily governed or protected by these stores.
Now, this may be really mean and/or really stupid... but what is there to prevent someone from just rolling in on the morning of the launch, waiting outside a few minutes before the doors open (not in the line), and rushing in once that moment arrives?
Sure, everyone who waited in line will be pissed off, and you might risk a few teeth and broken bones, but that would be assault, right? Legally, if you've got the balls you don't need to stand in line, you just need to swoop in like a vulture at the last minute. To me, that sounds infinitely more fun than "camping" outside a store for a week!

Yeah, it's kind of a poor-man's version of the USS MAD Magazine.

I'm sure this is just a typo of some sort. Surely they meant Alex Chiu, right?
But does it run Netflix?

BLASPHEMY! Everyone knows that light is made of particles, not waves!

To answer your question... no. Nobody cares. Thanks for asking! Hippy.
Yeah, except that in this case, the crashes will take place above residential areas. Fun!

Since when has something being unconstitutional ever been a legal problem? That fact always seems to get glossed over, if even mentioned.
That depends. What's the ENGLISH translation for "pwnt"?

Check out Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music for more on this concept.

For the record, these are not words:
You know, Firefox has a very nice automatic spell-checker...
Here's the deal: If something changes, it's newsworthy. If nothing changes, there is no story.
*yawn*
Let me know when the price drops $100-200 in a few years. That's the news I'm waiting to hear.
