I'm just glad they got Pierce Brosnan (sp?) for the role. I've always thought he'd make a great Bond. Heck, even *I'd* be a better Bond than Daltry (or whoever that last guy was)...
There's a really cool independent video store here in Memphis that doesn't charge late fees. They'll start calling you after a week or so, and eventually charge the DVD to your CC, but no late fees.
Granted, they specialize in non-mainstream flicks, but they're doing good business.
I almost never go into the store when I return a DVD, I just use the drop box on my way to work. I'd guesstimate that most of my friends use the drop box, too.
I will give them credit for the argument that it eliminates the pollution and consumption involved in returning a video rental, and while it's hard to compare different environmental costs like increased landfill vs. increased driving, personally I think tossing a DVD would be better for the world than driving 10 miles.
Hmmm. I wonder how much petroleum (sp?) it takes to make a DVD (for the plastic & for the manufacturing process). It would be interesting to see how that figure compares w/ ~1/3 gal. gas.
I do something similar, but I would have noticed if I were in the way. I basically ignore, to the point of not noticing, everyone. I have some pretty severe phobias about being around people I don't know, and that's one way I handle it. Unless they are a threat to my person, or could become a threat, they don't exist. In other situations I, uh, use an herbal self-remedy to help out.
Not necessarily true. I have a Geforce2 MX DH Pro, and it worked great w/ Win98 (as great as win98 can be). When I moved to win2k is when I started having problems w/ dialog boxes between the two monitors, etc. Win2k is more consistent w/ Linux, though, so I get used to the same irritations...
I have a acquaintance who's one of the coolest guys I know. First, he owns a metal shop, where he cuts & welds and creates custom furniture, art, etc.
Next, he always has 1 or 2 dogs with him. They're the sweetest, nicest dogs I've ever met. He rescues them all. He's been known to walk into the back yards of drug dealers to get them.
Every single one is a pit bull. These "vicious dogs" have all come from extremely abusive backgrounds, yet all of them are nice and sweet.
I guess I have no point, I just think he deserves a little recognition. And people who are abusive to animals are fuckheads who need their asses kicked.
I'd be happy just to teach the cats to use the toilet. Sure, I don't have to take them for walks in the rain or in the winter (like you would a dog), but it sure does get old cleaning the litter box.
Hey, what the hell am I doing on/. ??? I should be on google, looking for info!!!
Only 75 responses? Is that really enough to disqualify it from intelligence? Sure, they claim it's an AI. Did they claim it had a *lot* of intelligence???
It looks to me like two sides of the case are clear plexi, and the third side is the bubble-plexi that is commonly used on doors. I imagine it was laying around readily available and they made use of it.
I had no problems keeping my kid away from my expensive equipment. I think the worst thing she ever did was run batteries down or turn the computer off without shutting down Win9x.
Now instead of spending $400 every upgrade cycle you're spending $400+100 every other cycle.
Which is why you probably won't see it. The graphics companies are just like all other companies, they want as much of your money as they can get away with.

I have this card, and it works rather well. I guess the Geforce2 is getting kind of dated, but it works well w/ my 1.2g Athlon. Couple this w/ a PCI card (dual-head or not) or two, and you should be able to have as many monitors as you want.
A sweet hack would be to somehow mount one on a ZipZap sized car. Even if it was used for something as nefarious as upskirts, it's still be a sweet hack. Strapping one on the back of nitro car seems kinda easy.

Not to mention the biggest difference... They were going up against Microsoft, and MS is going up against... openoffice.org???

Dude, my girlfriend does that to me all the time. She even manages to make her voice sound like it's coming from a speakerbox.

I don't consider a hard drive for $80 to be disposable. An $80 car, yes, not a hard drive. A $20-$40 drive would be disposable, but just barely.

You should keep your phone in your front pocket. That way, when it goes off, you know someone likes you :)

Sorry, I'm in an hornery mood tonight.
Hummer, now *there's* a nick open to interpretation.
I'm sure he got poon from the novel "Snow Crash", where skateboarding couriers used magnetic harpoons to latch on to cars.
But I'm pretty sure you knew that. I'm still wondering if you got your nick from liking to give hummers or get them...
That's great. I made it a quote of the day on my site, caution, inc.
Too bad I used up all my mod points today, cause you'd have gotten them.
Or the band Commodore 64. I love Straight Outta CompUSA :)
Wouldn't you want Flea in the BlackFleatls???
Now you have me thinking naughty thoughts. A Korean wife AND her sisters...
I sense a "Dear Penthouse" letter coming on.

It looks that way in both pics to me.

I metamod. Every since I started, I haven't gotten mod points at all. I still metamod, though.
Yeah, but if you can't afford 37 cents to return a CC app/bill, you probably shouldn't have a credit card.
