I actually "made that one up for myself".. at least in my group of friends, I claim originality on that joke. I'm probably not the only one who filled in the blank, though.
as of 11:04 Eastern time, there are 2 threads that refer to mechanics as "Joe". One is a SINGLE POST. I dont think 2 threads constitutes everyones opinion everywhere.
You could have at least put this in the thread where "big joe" was mentioned like 3 times.
Just read the news on CNN. Famous columnist Ann Landers was found dead her Chicago home this afternoon. There were no further details. Even if you didn't read her newpapaer column, there's no denying her contributions to people that can't make decisions for themselves. Truly an American icon. She will be missed.
Blofeld: 20. Your move, Mr. Bond.
Bond: I'll take a hit, dealer. [Homer gives him a card]
Joker! You were supposed to take those out of the deck.
Homer: Oh, sorry. Here's another one.
Bond: What's this card? "Rules for Draw and Stud Poker"? Blofeld: What a pity, Mr. Bond.
[Odd Job and Jaws grab Bond and drag him out]
Bond: But...but it's Homer's fault! I didn't lose. I never lose!
Well, at least tell me the details of your plot for world
domination.
he has a point. My new 21inch monitor at 1600x1200 is starting to tire my wrist out. I'm thinking about reorganizing my desktop to keep everything I click on in one area.
A friend who worked for Amazon.com said they have all the taskbars on the left side of the screen there. Supposedly this decreases the amount your mouse will travel and thus increases productivity.
Makes sense to me, as I close most tasks via the taskbar rather than the little "X".
True, but you make my point. International currency is still kind of a unique thing, and up to the citizens of ones own country (who, in Americas case, don't seem to want colored bils)
The metric system on the other hand is something that needs to change here, to bring us up to speed with the rest of the world. I just don't like to see the money arguement thrown around at all, because I know its going to bite me in the ass when I want something payed for (the change to the Metric System) with my tax dollars.
Thus, I think people opposing change on either of these fronts need a better arguement than "who's going to pay for it".
While I agree that there is no real reason to change the size of american bills, I really do hate your arguement.
Its the same one people use against the Metric system (which, IMO, would actually be a huge step foreward for this country) "Who is going to replace all those "MPH" signs?" "It will cost billions!" Tough. We need to adapt as a society.
That said, yeah, seriously, this is a non issue about the bill size.
It really is no wonder why so much alcohol is consumed at sporting events -- would a good majority of them be tolerable to watch, game after game, in person, while completely sober?
Slashdot Mirror
amen.
he probably spends too much time at everything2
its a great site... I'm a subscriber, which is more than I can say for /.
Lets not forget the book reviews and highly pretentious soft core porn.
quality Simpsoms reference. Quality.
please don't use that term. Feel free to tear into slashdot however you like, but please don't perpetuate the use of the term "blog" for "web log."
what the hell, How is a sarcastic comment about everquest a troll? Offtopic, perhaps.
hehe, no they dont mention Ebay in the episode.

I think I read somewhere that some guy predicted it would take 8 exabytes. I really don't remember how many gigs or terabytes that is.
hey. That was great. The only problem is the only people who will get it don't have to time to read slashdot.
whats so underground about IRC?
first of all. I think everyone knew that.
Secondly, step two is most surely "Sell them on ebay"
agreed. G'day.
I will concede to you the shot about my feeling the need to debunk you, and taking the time to do it. I have a lot of free time. Flame on at will.
but...
To attack my sense of humor, after writing such a piece of unfunny "horse turd" (no matter what the moderators say), well, thats just silly.

Hey, I'd like a piece of Britney too, y'know.

I don't know that 250 linux geeks patching their copies of Tribes2 is really going to impact their bandwidth that much.

Ohhh I see....so your shortcomings are someone elses fault? Typical American excuse. Get over yourself.
What? That is the attitude of the rest of the world. "Our shortcomings are Americas fault."

Man.. thats what gambling is for.
Oh my god! what the hell is wrong with the characters in that cartoon? Look at their eyes!
