    Check the 'Presentation Layer' of the well known seven layer model.

    The Taco Bell 7-Layer model? The Presentation Layer is the Cheese, if I am not mistaken.

    It is 18 inches (about 46 centimeters, for you rest-of-the-world folk) wide, which is about the same size as the length of your collar from shoulder-to-shoulder.

    Who are you really, Disco Stu? 18-wide collars are just SOOO `70's.

    The J-Lo doesn't truly compress anything. It just has a double-size, silicone-injected backplane bus that provides extra storage on an otherwise normal-size frame.

    Don't know what money from Spawn figures would go to.

    Scientology, of course.

  8. Re:Other great tax ideas on Taxing Sci-Fi Products to Fund NASA? · · Score: 2

    Tax criminals to pay for police and prisons. They must itemize and declare fenced value of all criminally gotten gains on their form 1040.

  9. Re:First Amendment? on Taxing Sci-Fi Products to Fund NASA? · · Score: 2

    A hotel is not speech. An apt hospitality tax analogy would be an extra tax you have to pay to stay in a hotel which puts a Roman-Catholic bible in their nightstands instead of King James.

    Will LOTR be taxed? (Aliens)

    Of course! Hobbits are aliens! That explains so much.

    Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, we hate the MPAA/RIAA/DCMA/$INSERT_CORP_INTEREST. Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday we review and buy their products. On Sundays, we hate them, unless they come out with a new sparkly thing, then we love them.

    The exception is Microsoft. We ALWAYS hate those guys.

    In my day, we actually saw the movie before deciding weather it was good or not...

    Well, this is MY day, and we don't have to go see a movie to decide if the weather is good or bad.

    Try this:
    Look out your window: If it is sunny, and you like sunny days, it's good weather. If you don't like sunny days, it's bad weather. You can apply this simple test to all sorts of weather to check and see if you consider it good or not.

  18. Spoiler Alert (Maybe) on Attack of the Clones: Less Plastic Crap, More Story? · · Score: 2

    At least now I know no major characters die at the end of the movie.

    However, thanks to the new toys released today, we know that Anakin loses his right arm at about the elbow in his hanger duel with Dooku, and Zam Wessel loses HER right arm in a nightclub scene.
    Or maybe not.

    All I know for sure is that those magnets they used to hold the severed arms onto the toys REALLY suck. Bump Anakin and his arm falls off.

    Your chair stabs you in the back? Wow. Around here, it's usually my cow-orkers that try that. Never worried about my chair before. Looks like I'm gonna have a sleepless night, or three.

    The guy who did our corporate page using Dreamweaver did the same thing.

    I didn't have the heart to tell him how clueless his page was.

    Don't bother. You'll just get a blank look.
