here's more pot available in the midwest than there used to be.. given enough creative madness and todays mind altering coctail availability at universities, one would probably invent all manner of things, like time machines, super beer bongs, beer cooler mugs with wifi.. and so on, and so on..
uh, you must smoke different pot than the pot my friends do.
no one smoking pot is going to invent anything. they're going to sit around eating chips and playing video games.
How about instead I produce a compendium of all his books and give it away, widely, to anybody who might want a copy?
Yeah! You could do it for other authors too. You could keep all the books in a central building, and people could get some kind of "card" that would allow them access to the books in your building, and then they could take them if they wanted, without even paying!
No excuse. I'm young too (21) and I would have been able to tell you that the Beatles were on Apple Records. If you look at the later Beatles albums, both on vinyl and CD (please don't say "what's vinyl?";) ), they all have Apple designs on them; that's how I know.
I like their stuff, but then again, I'm older, and it's easy to see that in a decade or so that band will be completely forgotten.
Um, right... Hendrix has been dead for 35 years or something, and people still remember him. And the Beatles were/are much bigger than Hendrix (except to die-hard guitarists).
This has little to do with the Beatles, anyway (despite/.'s catchy headline), and more with whatever lawyers are working for Apple Corp.
You cannot violate Godwin's Law, unless you have a conversation on Usenet (or, for the sake of argument, the Internet at large) that is of infinite length, and never mentions Nazis or Hitler.
While "violate" is not quite the right word; there *is* an implicit assumption among most Internet communities that, once the inevitable Nazi / Hitler comparison has been made, the discussion has definitely ceased to become useful (if it ever was useful in the first place), and can therefore be safely abandoned.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the OP didn't really know what he was talking about, but hey.
and yes, I live in Brasil.. BRASIL... not Brazil... BRASIL...
So would you complain if someone said "Germany" instead of "Deutschland"? Do you say "United States" every time you refer to that country, even when you're speaking Portuguese? Or do you refer to it as "Estados Unidos" (apologies if I don't have that correct; I speek English, German and Italian, but no Portuguese; you get the point though)?
In English, it's "Brazil". Deal with it. You can spell it however you want in other languages.
Everyone I know uses AIM exclusively, and it's been that way for the past 3 years; before that it was a combination of AIM and ICQ, but everyone eventually migrated to AIM.
I've never once seen anyone use MSN messenger, or say that they have an MSN messenger account and nothing else. *Very* occasionally I'll run into someone online who has MSN as well as AIM, but even that's rare.
So, this raises the question*, who is out there using MSN?
* It, of course, does NOT "beg the question", and if you think it does, please stop talking (or typing) now. Thanks.
all they have is what they use and what they have is oldsh os 9 and windows 95 and 98. and becuse of it i think that our good old macs are not dead becuse the video and graphics use them and the skools are trying what they can to fix them. but a lot of times the skool adims are controled buy pepole that dont know what the hell they are doing and thus cant do a damned thing about it
There's a joke about the quality of the school and the quality of the OS here, but I'll try to resist making it.
I just finished reading the Silmarillion (again). never quite got into speaking or writing Elvish though. this website rocks though; i feel compelled to use tengwar for something now, though i'm not sure what yet.
In much the same way that blogs on AOL will be known as journals.
That's okay, though, because "blog" is quite possibly the most annoying word ever.
And it wasn't started by AOL anyway, LiveJournal was one of the pioneers of an online journaling service (i.e., not updating your own web site by hand every time you posted a new entry), and they're certainly not called "blogs" there, for which I am grateful.
Also, I used to be fully in support of the death penalty for anyone using the word "blog" seriously, but there are too many now, it'd be too hard to kill them *all*.
"Rip Rowan over at prorec.com did an analysis of 5 different Rush CD's released from 1984 to 2002."
Now that is one tough, durable fellow. I would have split my own head open with a.44 slug by the start of the third album.
heh, it's going down to flamebait now, but I'm a big Rush fan (see my username), and I still found it amusing. if I had mod points, I'd give you a +1 funny.:)
So how can we prove that it was the meager efforts of us humans that made the change, and not just a natural cycle?
We can't, of course. But saying it's a "natural cycle" doesn't allow the environmentalists to go all crazy and predict the imminent death of humanity, which they love to do.
Environmentalists don't need any so-called "facts" or "proof". The fact that they've managed to convince so many people that the ozone hole is humanity's fault, with so little proof, is quite amazing, actually.
Mine is that more and more people distrust the government so much that they don't really believe that who we vote for has anything to do with who they tell us won. So voting machine fraud is just a new tool for the new world order (not a term I invented, one Daddy Bush liked to use) to use to do what they have been doing for a while.
There's a book I saw last time I was in a bookstore called "We Need To Talk About Kevin". Obviously, the author is stealing my name. I'm going to sue the author, the publisher, the bookstore, and maybe McDonald's too, just out of general principle.

Bullets don't kill people, the hole that they leave in the people's body does.
the RIAA strongly backs this bill, obstinately for the "protection of children".

I'm fairly sure you mean "ostensibly" there, though the RIAA is certainly being obstinate about it as well.
Heh I was waiting for someone to link to that. It's very true in both Acclaim and Eidos' cases.

Though I still think the best part of that strip is "There's new news on the Internet!" as if that's an exciting event.

If you do not run Windows on your computer, you will miss an educational opportunity to learn Windows administration, which is a marketable skill.
You sure you didn't accidently go to ITT's page, instead of VT's? Or maybe DeVry?
Any real college/university which starts talking about "marketable skills" really needs to reconsider their priorities.
The point of school is to *learn*. Not job training.

Heh, obviously I don't spell English very well though.

It's not being over educated that stops you from being employable, it's too much thinking.
For those of you watching at home, if you've ever wondered why business is so totally fucked, well, there you go.

My girlfriend is in the same time zone, just a lot further south than I am.
My cell phone has free nights and weekends though, so we can talk all the time without it costing any more than just the phone did normally.
Well, not literally "all the time", obviously, but you know what I mean.
So, um, why are you reading this article if you despise LOTR so much? Are you a masochist?
It's like something out of Animal Farm here.
