Fuck all that.
I'm a decent looking geek girl, and I only want to date a decent or good looking guy. I'm not even going to consider dating someone who is not physically attractive. That means ugly and/or fat guys need not apply. Feel like I'm being unfair, superficial, etc? Too bad, go kill yourself. Its called evolution. Someone has to put a stop to the evolutionary polution that keeps continuing. If you are so frustrated with life because you are ugly and can't find a partner (or can't learn to live alone), don't be pissed at me because I won't even consider you. If its really that bad, suicide is a reasonable answer. Why must you reproduce and bring yet another ugly person into the world to suffer?
I'll stick with intelligent, physically handsome guys, who are fun, and have good personalities (yes, rare, but they ARE out there)... and NOT a geek guy.
I'm sorry, but geek guys and other fat ugly assholes just smell funny.

Seriously. You don't have to be an ass about not wanting to date people that smell funny. No one wants to date someone who smells funny. I do, however, resent the implication that geek girls can't also be "intelligent, physically beautiful girls, who are fun, and have good personalities." Sure, I'm not "beautiful," but, Mr. "Decent Looking Geek" Anonymous Coward, somehow I suspect that you're hitting the top 10 list of any "objective" standard of handsomeness yourself.
Sigh. And thus another long streak of not posting anything is AGAIN broken by being pissed off. By an AC. Ah fuck it, I was bored.
But if it was a real encounter you would know that there would be a real story behind each of those masks, people with families and histories and hopes and dreams and aspirations and fears which are probably not that different from those belonging to the Heroic Rebel (we know he's a good guy, we can see his face) gunning him down.
Heh. You should go watch Clerks, looking for the discussion about the "innocent contractors" working on the Death Star.;)

AMEN. No one shall read my lowly comment, but lord knows it needs to be said - there's nothing more fundamentally wrong with Microsoft at the development end than is wrong with any software developer. Bugs happen and things get overlooked (shrug). It happens with the open source movement, small development companies, so on and so forth... Is it really that unthinkable that it should happen when you've got 16 million gazillion coders all having to interact with each other?? Give them credit for having a working product at all!
Now, the marketing end... well that's an entirely different subject. Flame them at will.
Is there any site out there that allows you to view how a page renders on other platforms, not just other browsers? Being able to see how a page renders in, say, Netscape on a Mac would be a mighty useful tool... I don't see that on anybrowser.com?
Personally, I thought the place was a hole. Yes, I have several good memories of years spent in the downstairs, meeting up with friends for games of all sorts, but once I moved out of the "heavy scene," and lost my rosy glasses, I saw the place for what it was - the previously mentioned hole. They hired my brother - treated him like crap. They operated a restaurant - which sold ridiculously overpriced food complete with surly service. The Ave rats darting in and out were a much bigger detractor to the "atmosphere" than the lighting; it was a sad day when I saw them lined up in the store, buying their allotment of Pokemon packs to pass them to the frothing parents outside in exchange for a buck. I'm glad it's closed; I was mightily tired of having to defend that place just because it was a gaming establishment. The place served as a poster child for the world-at-large to point at and say "That's what's Wrong with gaming, darnit!" That's not the kind of image that we gamers, geeks and nerds want to be putting forth; here's to the small community gaming store coming back into vogue in Seattle - the places where we can take our parents/friends/significant others and show them that gamers don't have to be dirty and Satanic.
