    Let's make another 3.11 joke, shall we?

    All joking aside, I just can't wait to get the "Leaves" background in WineX 3.11 for Winegroups.

    Predictably, no employee of Best Buy can tell you what the Matrix is.

  3. Re:Maura Fay Casting on Star Wars Extras Needed · · Score: 1
    Maura Fay Casting are top notch casting recruiters.

    ...visions of Steve Irwin chasing Ewoks...

    Actually, the "gang" will return to Tatooione for {another hackneyed wrap-in} and find Irwin chasing Tusken Raiders.

    "Crikey! Ain't he a beaut! Now these 'ere Sandpeople are very dangerous, so I have to be careful. If one uv 'em was to hit me with it's stick, out 'ere miles away from any bacta tanks, I'd be a goner. Now, what I gonna do is stick my thumb up 'is butt! That oughtta REALLY piss 'im off!"

    Just don't store them near liquids.

    Put a large fireplace in your card storage room. That should dry up liquids before they can cause any significant harm, right?

  8. Re:Linus Torvalds elected President in 2010 on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    The fact that votes were tallied at all two years after President Gates was elected by a landslide in 2008 just goes to show that Open Source just can't keep up with the current world.

    That is why we need a "None of the above" choice on the ballot too.

    Hell, Pryor would be better than Dubya, IMO.

  10. Sooo.... on The Rights of GM Humans · · Score: 1

    Are they banning all people who drive Chevrolets, Buicks, Fords and Cadillacs, or just the people who build them?

  11. ...ultra-narrow computer displays... on Women Need Larger Screens for Desktop Navigation? · · Score: 1

    What about ultra-narrow columns of text?

    It's spelled Daawtrtdfw but pronounced Phoenix.

    If you're going to try to argue that EMACS is anything less than one of those six-wheeler mobile home, bud, you're in for a fight....

    It could be argued that a Pontiac Catalina is a six-wheel mobile home with 2 wheels removed. It's a big fucker. I had one in college, and by far it was the most comfortable car I have ever sat in, driven in, slept in, etc.
