Back when I was playing Quake a lot, I thought Steve Albini's stuff fit in pretty good, particularly Shellac's "At Action Park" and Big Black's "Songs About Fucking."
Tell me about, freakin' morons on there... I was selling an invite as "buy it now" for $199 and some dumbfucks were bidding on an auction that closed at 262.. Ended up only selling it for $99 thanks to the glut. BAH!
No, they're the equivilant of the ricers who cover their four-banger civic with garish stickers, ugly spoilers, and tacky ground effects doing a thing to increase performance.
Okay. Enjoy your special "Heartland Edition" of Pulp Fiction in all of its pan-n-scan glory and that rumbling stereo soundmix. Running time? Approximately 1 minute and 37 seconds. They made a few small changes.
I'm not *too* worried about this. I think Netflix customers are probably somewhat saavier than your standard Wal*Mart customer. Granted, Wal*Mart has the advantage of being able to pour money into the program (a la Microsoft's Ultimate TV) and the advantage of brick 'n' mortar stores to push the product, but if they play the same censoring games as they do with their music, I don't see them taking off. Hell, even Blockbuster is beginning to see the original-aspect-ration light.
If Netflix embarks on an even semi-intelligent ad campaign, I think they have a fighting chance.
The pop culture reference you're looking for is "Slowpoke Rodriguez." Thanks for playing, you get a lovely parting gift-- a year's supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat!

Blue Beatle tried to catch a bullet with his head and lost.

The correct term is "iCurious."
Bones (what kind of nickname is that anyway?)
It's from sawbones, old slang for a doctor. I think it dates back to the Civil War when doctors tended to amputate a lot.
I know when I need PARENTING advice, I go to Slashdot; and when I need computer advice, I go to Parenting Dot Com.

It'll be fun when hunting season rolls around, definitely.
Sure they can. Haven't you seen Enemy of the State?
Yeah, I think it's going to be great to have one company be the gatekeeper to basically the entire Internet. No potential for abuse here.
"How come you clerks are always American? Speak Hindu!"
It's actually just a test for the true roll-out, which will prevent the reproduction and distribution of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Overclockers are today's hot rodders.

Okay, everybody who is surprised, raise your hand.... So I can slap you.
Shirts with a little tiny thing on the left breast and big ugly design on the back are so early 90s!

I would like to patent the concept of "patenting."
Early retirement, here I come.
If you use your casemodded C=64 and a scanner to create your own woman who looks suspiciously like Kelly LeBrock, *don't* forget the doll.

Is there a possibility the track could bend?
I don't understand why you guys don't like Pop-Ups. The strawberry ones are delicious.
